- This brings heavy content to a whole new level. If you're struggling with self-harm, there is help available. Find the courage to be willing to reach out for help. I struggled with releasing this reaction, but fell that this is incredibly important. You are LOVED.
Joyner is a great story teller. "Ross Cappichioni" is a great example.
p.s. The guy on the couch and crying over the casket is Joyner
Ross cappichioni is a great request and is based on a true story highly recommend
I was coming to recommend that song, story telling is joyners biggest strength and I feel like that song and this one show it perfectly.
It’s not for the soft hearted though
Facts same here. 🔥
U have to play this I'm a new viewer u need to play this it's a true story please
Love your reactions. Glad you reacted to some Joyner now too. Keep em coming!
awesome channel sir!
This song hits home for me so hardly 😕😢
should listen to suicidal thoughts by notorious BIG. Love the channel keep up good work :)
This was my intro to Joyner. He is a brilliant artist (especially his older stuff like this song and "I'm Not Racist" ... a MUST see). I also lost my Dad to suicide.
YES
I’m not sure if our boy Larry can handle I’m not racist😂😬
Devil’s work is also a good one
@@trevor3575 better reason for him to react to it
Would love to see a reaction video for I’m not a racist.
The other person that is reading the note is Joyner Lucas; this is one of the most hard hitting songs that Joyner has done regarding mental health.
On a brighter note; I’m loving your reactions, keep up the good work 🤙🏼
Thanks Jack!
Joyner is an incredible storyteller. I'd recommend Devil's Work, Ross Capicchioni and I'm Not Racist.
Couldn't agree more. But don't forget to add "Frozen" to that list.
all of this, please react to all of this and "frozen"
Completely agree on all three of those, legendary storytelling songs
Ross Capicchioni… I came here to say this. SO good and entirely based on a true story.
Also, if you listen to Devil’s Work then you have to listen to Bizzle’s (Christian rapper) reply!
Hopsin- ill mind of hopsin 7
My father took his own life by a firearm, my brother by drugs. I have struggled with my mental health and suicidal thoughts my entire life. Lots of doctors and medications help but some days are better than others. This song brought me to tears when I first heard it when it came out and hearing it with your reaction brought me to tears again. Thank you for doing this one.
❤
Wow, I'm so very sorry, Forest. I really can't even begin to imagine. Your life is so incredibly important. Self harm is such the wrong direction to set your sail. You are loved by too many people to consider that as an option, I hope you KNOW that.
I’m thrilled you are on that road of discovery. What works, what doesn’t. Keep at it. You are worth it. Fight the good fight 👍🏻
❤
❤
Im glad you decided to release this. This song saved me a couple years back now and I’ve been in another rough patch and saw this pop up. Thank you
Thank you so much. I really tossed this one around really struggling on if it was right to release. Reading comments like yours really makes me feel better about it. I'm so sorry to hear about your struggles. You are loved, my friend. You are so very worth being with us. You might need the strength of 50 men to ask for help, but I know you have that strength. Blessings to you my friend. Praying for you.
this song also hits me on a personal level. I relate to the first verse but the second one I understand and that's why I'm still here. one of my attempts I got a call during the act and was told I was about to be a father. After that I joined the army and I continue to live mostly for others(I'm working on that). I'm sad to say I still have those thoughts and have started attempts since then but every time I think about people I might hurt in doing so. This song captured everything like he was reading my mind
i listen to this song when i'm having a bad mental day to remind myself i would be missed. the second verse is so good
Bryce, never believe those thoughts in your mind that you would not be missed. You, brother, are loved.
Joyner Lucas has another emotional rap video you should check out based off a true story “Ross Capicchioni.”
There’s also an interview of Ross in a separate video “Skateboarder’s Unbelievable Survival Story | Ross Capicchioni” for additional perspective. In my opinion, the interview pairs really well after watching the song.
Joyner is an amazing artist. Some more of his music i would definitely recommend would be "im not racist" it covers the typical stereotypes that people percieve each other, sharing their views. Also, "Ross capicchioni" it is based on a true story so i dont know how easy it would be for you to react to it but its an incredible story
.....It literally doesn't. It literally has a black character who's personality is exactly the real personality of the real black people that caused racism against black people. And has a white character who is someone who literally doesn't even exist and who says only false "points" that zero non-racists who dislike BLM ever say because the actual problems about BLM are completely unrelated to that. People with the white character's personality do exist, but they exist in white, black, and Indian, and their target is "all homeless people" and "all teenagers who act like teenagers", with absolutely zero of it to do with anybody's race and absolutely zero has to do "stereotypical ghetto personality", although people with this personality would also complain about anyone who sells or uses drugs. The race which has the opinion of the white character most often, might be Arab; at least all Arabs I've met who don't harass me as a female, every single one of them has said the things that that white character says. Joyner Lucas should watch Tom McDonald so that he knows what the actual criticisms of BLM and ghetto people are rather then falsely pretending that it is "because they do not work in an office" or whatever.
Watching this video all my pain came back to me and I’m sitting here bawling my eyes out rn 😭
Yes, this was a rough one for sure...
My older brother died 4 years ago on his 37th bday and there was many, many days i thought of doing this to get rid of the pain. But what stopped me is KNOWING MY OLDER BRO WOULDNT WANT THAT, So instead i chose to live for him. wish i believed in GOD but cant believe in someone who took my best friend in world, but it gets little easier if you use it as fuel. R.I.P. JOHNNY miss ya every second evry day
I can't imagine. I think that sometimes when God allows this to happen, it can give you the experience and opportunity to reach out to others that have that same struggle. Empathy is something that can't be faked. There are many out there that need your experience and proverbial shoulder to cry on. This is something that can help both people lift each out out of this pit. Here's the catch... It takes the strength of 50 men to find that courage to step up and do it. In turn, you find new strength. I know it's hard to understand, but God truly loves you. It's very hard to see it sometimes when you have this kind of profound loss. I'm so very sorry to hear about Johnny. I'm sorry seems to be too little of a respnce to offer, but I'm grappling with finding those words that will always escape me. Praying for you, my friend.
Great Reaction, If you like the way Joyner Lucas portrays his music then I'd recommend listening to "Devils work" and "Will"
This was one of the songs that helped me when I was in a deep pit back in highschool.
So glad this music is there to help people relate and understand they aren't alone.
@@larryshair I didn’t expect a reply, but your reply definitely made my day 10 times better! Keep doing your stuff and thanks for your wisdom!
I'm Not Racist is another good to to react to by Joyner, also any of the Ill Mind of Hopsins by Hopsin, 4 5 and 7 are my favorites.
No one wants to die they just want the pain to stop. But the pain won't stop, it just gets transferred to your loved ones. It's about finding positive ways to feel negative emotions. Write, draw, exercise, garden, etc. Love to you all! 1 step and 1 breath at a time.
This
I'd like to recommend you to react to "Bad Guy" from eminem, it's like a part 2 of "stan" but from the point of view of stan's little brother he mentioned on the song. The little brother is also grown up now. I appreciate your eminem's reactions, keep up with them, you are doing great. Hello from Brazil!🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
ruclips.net/video/BQNiC9NguJ0/видео.html
If you appreciate deep thinking raps I'd suggest the artist Hopsin. His "ill mind" series will make you think. ill mind 7 is about religion I'd start there.
I’m glad you chose to release this reaction. Thank you.
As crazy as this song is…it seriously helped me not take my own life at the darkest moment of my life. Hang in there guys. I promise it get better.
Respect brother, I lost my cousin hung himself in my aunts basement, nothing takes that pain away, how it could be with him here now.. Thank you for posting this, it's a reminder of the pain and memories that are everlasting.. Joyner is an amazing artist and I recommend continuing down the Joyner road of reactions.
I'm so sorry, Josh. I can't even begin to imagine that pain you must feel. It must be such a prison for someone to come to the point in their minds that this is the only way out. I'm so very sorry, brother.
If you watch when the belt snaps its as he is speaking about seeing if God is real. Just another thing Joyner Lucas does really well in crafting the song, shows that in this person's time of need something or someone was watching out for him when he called out.
I'm glad you did Release this ive been struggling bad today with depression I been fighting that Demon for years now I've gotten so close to the idea Especially tonight This reaction helped me a lot at least for now thank you
Kris, I'm so sorry that you are dealing with these thoughts and feelings. You are worth so much more than you might give yourself credit for. I would BET you that others that are dealing with this same issue would love to talk with you. There is no replacement for a path paved with empathy. It has a wild ability to lift both persons out of that pit. I understand that asking for help seems like it takes the strength of 100 men, but you can do this. Too many people love you. Praying for you, brother. Show this world how strong Kris Chaddock is... Love you man.
I think this song makes us think about how much hurt a decision like this brings, and helps us find a way to get help and continue living.
Joyner is one of the most under rated artists out there.
Love the way you talked about it by the way. Can have 15 mins of fame that's not really fame but leave loved ones with a lifetime of hurt. It's not worth it. People love you more than you know and don't want you gone. Rip to all that have lost their lives . You said you may not want to release this reaction but I'm glad you did. You could possibly save one of your viewers by doing so. Keep up the great work !
Sincerely, thank you for these comments. I truly struggled with releasing this one. I didn't know if the content would be something that would be the right thing to release. It's such a sensitive topic and so very graphic. I have read so many stories tonight that have literally brought me to tears (no surprise there, right? lol). I was very scared this would backfire. There would be no greater honor to know that this helped even one person. It would make all these reactions so very worth it. Thanks again. I really needed to hear this. Blessing brother!
if youre reading this, i love you, hang in there !
Thanks King! Love you too, bud!
I lost a close friend (the first friend I've ever lost) to suicide about 9 months ago, and this song burns a thousand times worse than when I first heard it. Check up on your people, 10 minutes of your time could mean the world to them.
I'm so sorry to hear that, Andrew. Thank you for sharing as others need to hear this.
Man, that was a heavy one. And that number of suicides is sickening. I just have to wonder HOW many could have been saved if someone would just have the guts to ask "How are you?" or just to reach out an arm to let the other person know that you see him/her. You "just" have to be strong enough to tackle an honest answer. And I think THAT is what's causing the hesitation really. Or maybe even the fear of being met by anger. You just have to be mentally strong enough to actually DO it. Just remember that your action may save someone's life. That should make it all worth while. Right ? Hmm... It's a very difficult topic, without an easy or obvious answer (though it should be). I keep experiencing my mind spinning in circles, and feel that my answers come right back at me, ready to hit me in the face. As if to say "Oh yeah? It's THAT easy? I'll show you something.." That is my full circle. The SAFE circle, where I have been so many times before in my mind. I just hope I'll be strong enough to dodge that blow and break the circle when and if I'm faced with it.
I think your reaction was absolutely great, and I'm not one second in doubt if you did the right thing posting it. It helps raise awareness, which is always a good thing.
Take care, Chris !
Thanks man. Sometimes, people that find themselves caught in these thoughts benefit from reaching out to others that have the same issue. Helping others and being able to relate to where they are and that you can empathize let's that person know they aren't alone, and that act of reaching out can help raise them out of that same pit. So many think they are alone and that nobody could understand where they are in their lives. That's the sad part. It can take the strength of ten elephants to reach out and say that a person needs help. It's a very dark and scary place to be left with your thoughts. I almost didn't release this reaction. I really struggled with this decision. I really appreciate your confirming that it was the right thing to do. Thanks brother!
That's like one story I heard of an older guy... he walked out of his house with intention to commit suicide, but wouldnt do it if just one person smiled at him. He jumped off a bridge soon after. Damn 😭
“I’m Not Racist“ by him is very intense but i think everyone should’ve seen that at least once in their lives.
I think the story of Ross Cappoconi from Joyner is one u would definitely be interested in great story, word play, and a song in general 👍 I enjoy your reactions keep it up
I heard this song for the first time with you and I'm glad I did. These situations are tough and we have or know people who have been through this. I was close to death in my drug addiction and I'm glad I survived it. My daughter is 3 and I am going on 7 years sober and I can't believe I almost missed this beautiful opportunity to be a father to such a special little girl. It's not worth the cost and you will go when it's your time and until then focus on you and what makes you and your family happy because there is nothing more important. Thank you for this reaction.
Thank you for sharing your story, blessings.
So glad you made it to being a good dad. Blessings to you my friend.
This was good. Hard. But good.
I worked with mentally ill people for 10 years. There is always help to get. There is always another way.
I have been (I am?) depressed. But I found my help in the love for my kids and in music 💛
I love that. Thanks for these thoughts. Hope you rise high above it.
@@larryshair Well Im free from my abuser after 23 years together. And Im trying to find the right help to work thrue all the scars in my soul. Its a start to one day be happy again
I’m a disabled veteran. This song has saved me a few times. It’s my go to in certain times. So powerful. Please react to Keep it 100 too.
Thank you for deciding to share your reaction. I think it is an important message that unfortunately has to be shared with folks so that they know there is HOPE, they need to take it one day at a time and not be afraid to talk to someone, ANYONE, about how and what they are feeling. ❤
Thanks Elaine. I really struggled on if I should have released this, but I've read some pretty incredible stories that show me that I think I made the right choice to release this one. Thanks so very much for your kind words. Blessings my friend.
Honestly I don't see why you think you shouldn't release stuff like this or Technique's track. It's seems a bit attention seeks. Idk 🤷♂️
Unfortunately this real life stuff, we are all adults here.
I'm gonna tell you something relatively personal. I thought about suicide since I was 10, I'm 27 now. For a long time it was just real gentle and showed up in anger. At 18 and 19 it got really hard to put aside my hatred and anger, not only towards the world but myself. I thought about just fucking driving into a wall or blowing my fucking head off regularly. I wanted some peace. I got help though, now I talk to someone frequently and take medication. It may not seem like it but those meds can save your life. I still sometimes have a flashing thought of suicide but it's rare. And it's nothing I can't get past. Sorry I got off course, sometimes it's hating yourself to the point that you no longer want to live. For me at this point the way I want to go is keeping someone else safe. I want to give my life for something good. I also look forward to joining my kin in the hall of my ancestors.
"I'm not racist" by Joyner Lucas is a song that everyone should listen to AT LEAST once.
Hey! Just found your channel yesterday with your reaction to “When I’m Gone” by Eminem and fell into a rabbit hole! Subscribed and wanted to say keep up the great content!
Song Suggestion: “Hate Me” by Blue October
Very powerful song and video that I believe you’d appreciate!
Great reaction! I love to watch your reactions, they are so pure and genuine and it is very refreshing to see. Please can you react to Crypt - Bad friend. Amazing storytelling song and production!
u should also react to Im not racist- Like A River and Frozen they’re also by joyner lucas
I love your content! its great and you're very expressive and honest with your emotions which makes your videos better. A song of Eminem that I really enjoy and believe that you will enjoy as well is Darkness! the message is very strong and horrific but lyrically, its beautiful and the video of. it makes it better
Honestly this song helped me out a lot. I've had many moments where I've wanted to just end it but I couldn't leave my niece and nephew. They have no one and I have to be strong for them. This song always puts that in perspective for me
Awesome reaction video man😊👌🏻 if you have time check out joyners (Devils work) and, (I'm not racist) other than that,,have a great day 😊👌🏻
You should check out devils work by Joyner I think you might enjoy it
Emenim has a great song / video with Joyner lucas to react to.... also Em's track Darkness you will appreciate. keep the open mind and doing the great streams you aresir.
Joyner Lucas im not racist
My first encounter with Joyner was the track he did with Eminem, Lucky You. He is a great rapper, easy rabbit hole to fall into.
My fiance. May 2016. Memorial Day weekend. I know that we’re supposed to “remember the ones not here”, but JFC, how do you tell the world that the person you loved more than you love yourself... decided that ending his pain was more important than his soon-to-be-wife? Than his two kids (not mine, previous relationship)? How do you tell the world “oh, yeah, he existed, but now he doesn’t”, when most of the world woudln’t even be able to pick him out of a line-up? How do you go thru the rest of your life, knowing that you weren’t good enough to stop him?
My therapist says that I shouldn’t blame myself. Most of the time, I listen to him, & I’m ok. Put on the mask, go out in public, pretend that everything is fine. Smile, smile, smile, make sure you don’t ever make anyone else feel uncomfortable. Go home, take off the mask, & grab the cat, hoping to keep the memories at bay for... just a little while. Just a little while longer. Hoping that this year... maybe this year I can get thru the end of May without wanting to curl into a ball in my closet, & try to muffle screams that threaten to rip my vocal cords to shreds... maybe this year I can finally tell the world “no, I’m not ok. I haven’t been ok for a very long time, & I can’t find my way out of the darkness in my mind.”
Maybe this year.
Honest, open. Therapist sounds pretty good. Taking care of you is the best, very best thing to do.
I can't even begin to imagine. There are so many out there that need help and sometimes, when you are in a position like you are and have been in, sometimes finding a person that is dealing with what you have been dealing with is sometimes very helpful. I really believe that God allows us to experience these things in life so we can relate to others that have been through what we have been through so we can truly empathize with others and lend that shoulder to cry on. Imagine you were the only person in this world that experienced this. What lonely place. But there are others that have found the strength to move on and rise above it. You can be that person to help others that are experiencing things that you have dealt with. You will soon find that 1. You're not alone. 2. You have so very much to offer to others that in turn, will help them find their path. Remember, a diamond can only be created with heat and extreme pressure. Blessings my dear friend.
@@larryshair I’m actually working on my masters in Psych. A little of “physician, heal thyself” in that decision. I can’t save him. I can’t save the millions worldwide who are lost to their darkness. But maybe, between my schooling & my therapist, I can finally figure out how to lead others back into the light. Even if I only save one or two, that’s still one or two that can look back on the trauma & go “you tried to kill me, but i’m still here, bitch.”
I just need to figure out how to say that to my own darkness, & mean it.
As an aside, Icon For Hire’s song “Hollow” actually might be a good song to maybe cleanse how deep these last few of yours have been. Any of their stuff from “You Can’t Kill Us” on (so, 2016 & after) has some really good stuff in it. Their most recent album “Amorphous” is one that I have colloquially started calling “a middle finger to the demons in your head”.
@@rebt6096 I try to take care of myself as much as I can. The cat helps. Mostly by reminding me to eat when he eats...
... and to bathe when he starts to lick my arm...
My cat’s name - Friday. Hugged him lots. I think he was part of my therapy. The furry kind. 😻 loves you!
Good that you loaded it up, your words may help someone.
Another deep soundtrack is „Fall Slowly“ by Joyner Lucas.. a song about Love ❤️ it‘s just goosebumps. A big personal suggestion. I‘m new to your channel and love the way you approach new music and genres. Open minded and with respect for the Art, no matter of who the artist is.
Bravo 👏🏼
Thanks Kris!
You should listen to “dance with the devil” by immortal technique
This is a hard song for me, I struggle with severe depression everyday & you are absolutely right...I have to tell myself everyday "I can get through this day, I'm not going to quit." Its not easy, it sucks and it hurts. Having the right people makes all the difference in the world. I wouldnt be alive if it wasnt for my parents, my wife and my therapist. And yet even having that support there are times were that feels like its not enough. Those times....those times are when you come face to face with your inner demons and you have to have the strength to reach out for help because if you dont they will swallow you whole. Another song that promotes suicide prevention and awareness is Logics' 1-800, beautiful song but hard to get through.
I loved this reaction thank you! Joyner Lucas actually saved my life with this song. As i had been suicidal for a long time and had made a couple attempts to end my life, he released this and i reached out to my friends and got the help i needed. I will forever be grateful to Joyner for saving my life.
I'm so glad you found help. Now it's your turn. Find others that need to hear your story and lift them from that pit. You've got this! Blessings to you my friend.
Joyner Lucas has a large amount a songs with the same type of split narrative. Stories told from multiple perspectives like this one. Ross Capicchioni and I'm Not Racist are other great and intense examples.
I lost my homie to over dose and he was suicidal and this song really helped me look at the thing differently and I wish I had this song to show him cuz it may of helped Rest In Peace for anyone who has lost someone and much love to everyone who is going threw a struggle be strong
Witt Lowry Kindest Regards! Please
This was the first song of Joyner’s I’d heard about 5 years ago. At a time where I also lost myself.
I cried so much the first time I heard it because I could relate too much.
I’m in a better place now - life’s still hard and I still have tough times, but I’m in such a better place now.
Thank you for this reaction.
I hope everyone finds their happy place. You can do it.
yo for real. I just started watching your reactions to shit today. may the fourth be with you. but on heavy shit like this, id rather you just ride it out. no pause, no talkin, just let us see you feel the shit. Because this short ride ive been on with you has been amazing. shout out to your son who got you into rap and whatnot. you mad real with your facial expressions and every thing. you CONNECT with the message. that cant be taught. dont matter your background or age or whatever. when you get all flushed and cry and shit, it makes me feel connected to you. youre breaking down barriers between cultures. so please just ride it out longer. no pausin no comments. just react and talk after. you can do dissection videos later. your true content for this channel is your body language and fresh eyes.
Phenomenally powerful artist and song. Great reaction as always, I've cried many times to this song and as a man I don't mind admitting that, I've suffered major depressive disorder for over a decade, I'm getting married next week and I love this woman to death but I'm still numb it's the worst feeling in the world I could never explain it and when I try to people say they understand but they really don't. I could have a billion dollars and still feel like this, money, nothing would change it. I've tried everything but I still hold as strong as I can everyday and will continue to do so.
You looking into my eyes telling me your experiences with this and saying "I lost, I lost, I Lost!" Really hit me hard, your words were so powerful and motivating to show how all it caused is pain and heartache and I thank you for showing that it does put so much into perspective. I know noone will understand the feeling unless they've been through it but those are words that could save a life, you're a great man and I'm sorry for your losses it does make me really think about it alot. I will never forget those words, thank you ❤
Would love to see you react to Eminem - Beautiful.
Much love from Australia to you and anyone reading this struggling or who have lost those who have struggled.
react to Joyner Lucas "just like you".
Two very important people in my life have taken this route or made this choice. I have still never really been able to answer the question of, “Why would they think that?” “Why would we be happy without them?” These questions circle my head many times, everyday being reminded of what I’ve lost. This song is a great representation of how it feels. Joyner has been one of my favorite artists for a long time, he writes from the heart, he says things that nobody really seems to deliver in their songs, nobody talks about this stuff like him. Summary; he’s a great artist, love his work, what he does, and “I’m Not Racist” is a great song by him. But the one thing I want to say is, don’t do it, there may not be a clear cut way to get through the darkness, but that doesn’t mean you can’t see light. Don’t do it.
So, I have an interesting idea for you. You seem to have a strong response to emotional songs, and I love your passion when talking about the real life consequences of the hard decisions people are faced with. Remixes and samples are a huge part of Hip-Hop/Rap coulture, I'd love to see a two part reaction to J-Cole - Lost Ones ( ruclips.net/video/it-DvwBAkxw/видео.html ), followed up by A.N.Ts remix ( ruclips.net/video/Fx2u-XVHXZg/видео.html ). The original by J-Cole deals with a young couple finding out they are having a child, and whether she should have an abortion, the remix by A.N.T is the song from the perspective of a child raised by a single mom after the father leaves. They both have mildly strong language, but it is used conversationally to drive home emotional notes.
Rest in peace to my mate Mike. 25 years old gone too young we always loved you and always will. I’m sorry I didn’t do more I live with that guilt every day.
I'm not racist his best song ever created
I'm struggling daily with suicidal thoughts and it is hard - and it is very hard to hear this song but thank you for reacting to it and talking about this
Keep it up, there is always something worth living for.
There is so much to life. Look deep into that tunnel and you WILL SEE LIGHT. Stay strong. My father took his own life and our entire family struggles everyday with it. It will leave more damage than good. Much love! ❤️
Put your left arm over your right side. Put your right arm over your left side. Give yourself a big hug 🤗. You are important. Then call the phone number.
Please always know that there are people out there that LOVE you. Persevere with bravery, my friend. To slay a dragon like this takes an incredible hero like you have been as you have resisted this. It's not worth succumbing to this dragon... Blessings my friend.
+1 for hoping you react to Joyner's song "Ross Cappichioni" which, as has been said numerous times, is based on a true story. And what a damn fine job Joyner does in telling said story.
Im glad u posted this reaction. It starts a conversation we need to have as a society all around the world
Joyner Lucas-In not racist
Goodness, Chris, you are taking me on a musical journey I never anticipated. I am experiencing so much through these rap videos. It makes me realize how blessed my life has been.
Thanks Julie!
Joyner Lucas - Just Like You is a great next song to look into, it's from the same album. "Frozen" is a horribly heavy song with an amazing message. "Will" is a great song that is a lot less heavy but a great message.
This is impossible to get through without crying your eyes out. It is an extremely important topic to cover as hard as it is. Much Respect 🙏
You gotta watch I’m not racist
Man this song was one of the songs that really made me reconsider my suicidal thoughts. After multiple attempts and stays in the hospital, I pushed through and I’m in a much better place. If you’re struggling, reach out for help. People want to help, and you are loved 💜
thank you for staying with us
I love your raw, emotional reactions. I’m a rather emotional person myself as well as having these thoughts when I was younger. You’re 100% correct. It is NOT worth it. I’m so glad I decided against it. YOU ARE WORTH IT
That's great to hear, Michael. Seriously!
I have gone through this and it destroyed my family. I am so glad that you posted this reaction. You made a lot of meaningful and accurate points.
Thanks so much Ethan. If this helps one person, I’d be blessed forever.
I am sad 😭 about it
Oh boy this is a pleasant surprise. Joyner Lucas I didn’t expect you to react to!!! So many great story telling tracks from Joyner. He’s amazing
Hey there. Lookin much better!!! Busy weekend. Baby steps please 🙏 patti
Thanks again, Patti! Today was a little tiring, but I'm feeling so much better!
Joyner is insane, love all his music. Should react to more of his stuff!
I have a very different perspective on death, due to my own experience of leaving my body due being witness to the attempted murder of my best friends mom by some dudes who broke into his house while we were all home. I was 8 years old and I experience what it’s like to be out of body and that feeling was euphoric beyond anything the human brain can comprehend. Now I see death something fantastic and even how selfish it is to take the experience away from the deceased due to our own selfish need of not wanting to be without them. Call me crazy, but if you knew what that feeling was like, you would be happy when someone you love makes it there. Rip dad, I love you, but I don’t want you back here.
Enjoy where you are…
I want to thank you for releasing this reaction. I’ve battled with depression and suicidal thoughts for a very long time… after my last attempt a few years ago, I found this song and play it when ever I find myself in those situations.
I remember waking up in the hospital and seeing the hurt and confusion on my brothers face… and the fact that he was angry, not with me, but with himself for not knowing how to help me or what to do… the second part of this song in some way helps just bring that memory back and reminds me that I have a reason to keep going. That I have people that do love me and that I can’t let down.
Years later and this same brother is now a dad. And I can’t help but remind myself that I very nearly gave up the chance to meet my niece and love this little girl and be the best uncle I can be for her.
Depression is very real… but so are the people that love and support us. We have reasons to take another breath. To keep fighting. To keep living.
A powerhouse comment. I’m grateful you shared here. So encouraging. Every one can have this outcome, life - abundantly. It’s there folks, grasp hold and don’t let go!
Thanks for this story. I’m so happy you were able to rise above this. You’re a very strong person and a great uncle! Blessings my friend.
Not gonna lie i struggle with these thoughts every single day, i just dont know what to do my existence is just pure suffering..
and yes i have a psychiatrist and a therapist still doesnt help much
i just dont know what to do anymore
The only reason i wont do it because i dont wanna make my parents sad...
Sad fact is most people only care after youre gone
by the way you are becoming my favorite music reaction channel. Love what you do and how you react to these songs
Thanks again Alec!
ROSS CAPPICHIONI- JOYNER LUCAS!!! A must reaction! Amazing story telling from 2 sides
This is the first I have heard this artist, and I think this is the saddest and most profound music videos and songs I have seen in a very long time, maybe ever and I definitely think it's important content for people to see.
I have suffered with my mental health for over twenty years, a number of those years self harming to cope as it felt like the only thing I could control, but hiding it from those around me. I have made two attempts on my life in the past and thankfully neither successful and from those I was able to get the help I desperately needed from loved ones and professionals. In the years since then I have lost several people close to me to suicide and the pain they left behind is indescribable and made me realise how selfish my own actions had been, gave me the strength to change the things in my life which were dragging me downwards starting with getting out of a toxic marriage, seeking counselling and medication and moved forward in life. I am now with an amazing man who knows my background (he lost his abusive father to suicide), is able to tell when I start to slip and help me through those dark times, I have more light days than dark and although self harm is a harder thing to get past, since losing loved ones to suicide it has made me see that this is not the way. My family, friends and those around me keep me here... I would never want to cause them the hurt which comes with ending ones own life.
This video is incredibly hard hitting and heartbreaking but it is so important for people to see how these actions affect the people left behind. It is refreshing to see mental health talked about in music from the other perspective rather than the person going through it, but rather the people left behind. I'm sorry to ramble here but this one has hit me right in the feels :'(
If anyone ever needs to talk, reach out... if you feel like you have no-one, shout louder, please never feel like this is the only way. Sending love to all affected by mental health and suicide... it's ok to not be ok, but taking your own life is not the answer.
Thanks for your comments, Laura. So good to hear you're doing well.
@@larryshair Thank you, still have down days but in a better place with coping mechanisms and know now that it's better to talk to someone when I'm like that than to take things into my own hands xxx
I've known of Joyner Lucas, but never heard this song myself. It was powerful to listen to that for the first time along with you.
To offer a slightly different perspective, I've (thankfully) never had to go through the pain of losing someone to suicide, but I have had to go looking for a good friend after he went AWOL with us thinking the worst. He told me that night he was thinking of doing the deed until my other friend and I found him.
Look out for the people you love. Please let them know you love them, and that they matter in your life. We all need reminders of that sometimes ❤️
I'm so very sorry.
@@larryshair Appreciate the sentiment! The situation could have gone horribly, but my best friend is still with us and is in a much better mind space. I count both of us as lucky 😊
Hi ! I didn’t know how you appeared on my feed but I’m glad you did. I watched your reaction to some Eminem videos and loved them!
I had a cycle through your recent videos to see if you had reacted to anything from Joyner and to my disappointment couldn’t find anything :( you have no idea how refreshing it is to see people reacting to Joyner for the first time! He’s a story telling genius! Hoping to see more of your reactions to him! Have a good day!
Thanks so much!
I see that you did find the "I'm sorry" reaction. Joyner will have more in this lineup for sure!
Joyner is literally one of the best story tellers ever. both sides of the story told beautifully. Id look at "Im not Racist" by Joyner and see what you think on that one.
Appreciate you deciding to release this reaction Larry. You seemed torn about it, but I don't think there's a graceful way in talking about and or reacting to something about suicide. But I think you did the right thing.
I lost my uncle to suicide. That’s been 30 years of my life that I still miss him. But for the grace of God, who’s given me peace that passes all understanding. Great reaction.
You and I both know where that Peace that surpasses all understanding comes from. Keep your eyes set on Him, my friend. Blessings to you.
"I lost, I lost, I lost...nobody's gonna say I gained.." Bars, my friend. Bars.
Thanks Zach. Truth.
I've had depression my entire life, in one of my deepest lowest points. I was ready to end it all, my youngest sister told me to listen to this song. I did and I'm still here 2yrs after being at my lowest. Not 100% but I'm striving every day.
Glad you still here. I totally understand you my friend, my first suicide thought over 13 years ago and it's still hounting me. I don't even know how I made it through all those years but I hope it'll change one day. Stay strong bro!
Yes 🙌 you reacted to Joyner Lucas ! I requested him a week or 2 ago and he has some great songs every song has meaning behind it you should definitely check out Ross Capicchioni, Just like you, I’m not racist , Happy birthday , Frozen you won’t regret it I promise they’re amazing songs
Sending you all love and appreciation from Ohio ❤️
Back atcha Kim!
My interpretation is that he doesn’t see him on the floor after he falls and is reading the crumpled blank paper because those were the first suicide attempts and his friend never “saw” them or realized anything was going on with him. No one saw him when he failed with the belt and didn’t know it happened and at the desk with the gun, he says he ran out of ink, so you see the friend reading the crumpled blank paper and again not knowing what his friend is going through. He only knows after his friend’s last attempt was successful…he didn’t see the cries for help before that 🥺
I'm very glad you released this reaction. In a very lonely and scary world, you bring a gentle warmth and kind energy that can be seen with your reactions to these hard topics. Although I do not struggle with depression I can literally feel others pain (ever since I was a child) and I my life's mission is to help others, close the divide with love, that's my core belief. It's so refreshing and renews my faith in others to watch such genuine reactions from you. Please know that makes a difference.
If you haven't already, I'm slowing watching all your reaction videos. I think Hozier- Take me to Church, you will find powerful. That song gives me chills every time I watch it.
I know you struggled deciding to release this reaction, but in my heart, allowing others to see such a genuine caring reaction will help others see there are people who care. It's no accident that this was your reaction; it was made to spread love and kindness to those who need to see it, just as you picked up about Robin Williams before he said it.
Thanks so much for this, AC
Dude!!! Check out and react too Joyner's Devils Work, amazing 👏🏼 👌🏻 🙌
