"Teacher,Teacher" is a must. " Vortex" is pretty rad too. I love, love this woman's vocals! I was surprised to learn that she was inspired by another one of my favorite artists. That artist, I think would be right up your alley, depending on the song. I swear when I'm able to, I'll do the coffee thing and when I do, I'll be requesting the pinky up while you drink it because THIS chick's artistry.... Is fuckin fancy. Otep- "T.R.I.C." or "Blood Pig" are - in my opinion, the best ones to suggest when introducing Otep. Anyway, I ramble. Love your channel, you're doing great Get that pinky ready 😊
Angela Gossow was doing this back in 2000 with the band Arch Enemy. For me, she was the Queen of the scream. Not to diminish Tatiana Shmayluk, I was just into heavier stuff in those days. Arch Enemy's Wages of Sin (2001) really displays Angela's screams. Ravenous being my fav song on the album.
YESSSSS FINALLY!!! Jinjer is incredible. All four of them are next level artists. Vlad the drummer is a classically trained pianist and the rest are self taught. Tatiana has the best vocals in metal. Hands down. 🔥🖤
They're talented musicians and she has a good singing voice, her doing the growl thing got them more attention, but they could be successful without it.
9:04 “all this woman needs is a megaphone and a place to hide, and she could pretty much scare the hell outta anyone. But instead, she chose to use her powers for good” 😆
Mad respect for you, bro! Every other reactor I've seen get introduced to Jinjer with this video do a complete freak out during that first transition. I love how you keep it real. Highly recommend checking out Jinjer Judgement and Punishment (one take) for your next vid down this rabbit hole. I discovered this band through a reaction channel back in 2018, and they actually were the first band with the harsh vocals that I could stand; now death metal is my go-to. I had the privilege of seeing them live in 2019 and they are amazing!
Love the fact that you didn't go over the top when Tatiana went into her growl. The fact you listened to the entire band as a whole was refreshing as well. All 4 of these musicians bring wonderful abilities to the table. Might I suggest a couple of songs? Perennial (live at Waken) Who Will Be the One War Judgement (&Punishment) Teacher, Teacher
Hey Polo, Love how you approach new music with no prejudgments and give it an honest listen and reaction actually understanding song structure and balance! Keep it up man!
You will get hit with tons of Jinjer suggestions now, so her are mine! Judgement and Punishment - live one take Who is Gonna Be the One - Live Napalm Vortex, Teacher Teacher, Home Back, and so many more! An amazing band with an amazing frontwoman.
@@moocow2oo426 I actually don't care that much for that one even though I know it is the RUclips go-to live performance. It is the last song of their set and she is gassed. I think Who is Gonna Be the One is a much better example (in contrast, it's the first song of their set there). Not that the Perennial Live isn't a great performance, it's just why pick the last song where she is huffing for breath just to speak to the crowd? JMO...
@@tattoodude8946 It's just a great performance. And being out of breath at the end and even at the beginning just shows the breath control that she has. But to each their own.
I'll tell you like I tell most reactors. Seen This band live 3 times, and met them twice. Awesome people and they are amazing live. Easily the best band I've found in the lat 10 years.Go down the Jinjer rabbit hole. I'm here for it.
Anyone else spend the whole video wondering what Polo would look like in a sparkly mumu? 😂 I'm glad you got around to Junjer, they're a great band, everyone is super talented and they really do some interesting things in their music like playing with unusual time signatures. So many great songs from them for you to explore in the future.
The chorus makes a lot more sense if you use "BELIES" rather than "BLAZE"! I am sure that is the word she is saying. Someone interpreted the lyrics wrong and put on that lyrics web site. It's another instance of "You can't trust everything you see on the internet"! I like watching your reactions! You are a really smart listener.
@@patch5217 I'm thinking that the phrase "Scale armor belies" is saying that the scales on the fish give the fish a sense of security but the scales are ineffective against the hooks and nets of the handsome butchers. The fact that they are unaware that their armor is ineffective is their virgin innocence.
Speaking of not believing things on the internet, you're confidently incorrect. Weird that you're literally just making things up (or parroting them, ironically 🤔): "someone interpreted the lyrics wrong" lol. It's as written, "blaze". She sings it in two syllables for the structure of the song, but it's blaze. She's spoken about the song and said blaze.
It is infact "blaze" - The lyric there are about fish scales shining. Kind of a metaphor for someone dressing themselves up for a role, making themselves look flashy as a defense mechanism to distract people away from the person's insecurities about themselves. If you look at older videos of Tatiana, she dressed down and people even said that she looked "boyish" or "butch" often because she wore men's clothing and didn't wear a lot of makeup and that kind of thing. At some point someone told her that they would sell more albums and get more attention if she dressed flashy and "more feminine", so she took that to the extreme (of course) and now she dresses in full costume often and uses very creative makeup so she turned what would have been taken as an insult to her style and did what was asked BUT on her own terms.
I've watched countless reactions to this song alone, you my good man is a chill dude! I like you saying balanced song, you're the first person I've heard say that! Grwat reaction!
Oh, man, you have such a good studio! It's all in one: You have a good sound, a perfect camera, excellent lighting, a lovely atmosphere, and a handsome You! Thanks for your reaction to Jinjer!
If you are interested, the divisions in vocal techniques are Frye, the higher pitched howls, false chord, the deeper growl, and grunt, the super deep ....thud noise, aside form normal melodic vocals....and Madam Tatiana is an absolute beast at all of them. Live as well, its not studio manipulation.
You are the first person I have seen who didn't freak out at the growl. Her vocal technique is impressive and beautiful, but I love the way you are interested more in the song as a whole. Nicely done.
Those lyrics got passed around the big sites but are incorrect in the chorus. It should be 'scale armor belies virgin innocence' Jinjer is amazing. I put them in my top 3. This is their most easily digestible song and sets up the growl as a surprise so gets a lot of attention. But they play heavily with time signatures, have awesome lyrics and are all top tier musicians. Really recommend digging deeper
Actually, the lyric is "blaze." Tati sings it in two syllables for the structure of the song. She has even confirmed that it's blaze. But, I too, have Jinjer in my top 3 bands in the past 5 years. They are an incredible group of musicians.
@@darrinterrazas7774 Belies makes more sense, though. "Scale armour belies virgin innocence." Meaning that the scale armour gives the impression of a seasoned warrior, contradicting the innocence within. Is there an interview where Tati confirmed that the word is "blaze?" I would very much like to see it to see what else she says about not only that choice of word, but the entire song, as well.
Great review. I appreciate how you found a bright spot in every members performance. Seems like nobody every steels the show in this band… they all gell and just take you over. If you check out more you’ll find all there songs differ from one another and are usually very diverse within each song itself. Thank for the entertainment.
I'm death .black metal .etc..but jinjer ..I have the utmost respect for ..as stated by many ..the band are all incredible musos.and Tatiana...what can I say that hasn't been said before..she just amazing.and fkn gorgeous as well
Vlad (the drummer) was new to the band and this session was arranged as a showcase for his talent. He brought a whole new feel to this track and their sound overall. The whole band are REALLY tight and it gets overlooked so often because of Tatiana’s vocals. Vlad’s drumming in this performance is amazing, especially his hi-hat work. Great video my guy, much love from Scotland 🏴
Love it! Discovered you through your Tool reactions. I’m sure someone else has already said this, but in case they haven’t, fun fact: just like Tool, the guys in Jinjer create the music and then give it all to Tatiana who does the lyrics at the end (usually only a week or two before they need to record). After knowing this, you can see similarities to Tool in the sense of very unique vocal melodies over extremely intricate and unusual time signatures and riffs (riffs for DAYS). Can’t wait to see you continue your Jinjer journey 🙌🏻
Tatiana herself has addressed that. In a live stream her and Eugene did in '20 at the beginning of lockdowns she spells it out - "B-L-A-Zed-E" so according to her it is Blaze.
Never heard this before. Tho' I have heard another song before. Amazed that this woman can have such a beautiful voice, then growl like that. Liked the music, but not into growling
Ukrainian band been on tour raising money for their home country the past couple of years. Need to react to their song "Home Back". Song was actually written after the first time Russia invaded the Crimean peninsula and Tatiana's home town was destroyed. Seen Jinjer past two years. They are great live. They are traveling with Disturbed this year. Going to see them in August. Great reaction!
When you said that drummer is tight, I knew you were seeing/hearing exactly what I saw the first time. This level of musicianship doesn't get any better than what I'm seeing here. And Tatiana is my favorite crush, mama Mia. There worth many more looks at the catalog of videos.
"scale armor blaze" is like when a fish is startled or caught and the fisherman sees the flash (blaze) of light on scales "virgin innocence" is about the fish in the water not knowing what happens in air-world or why not to go for bait "one being brings life" is how a fish only reproduces, and also can be sustenance to the life of others "another runs for death" is the fisherman zooming around the surface trying to harvest the hooks and nets are alluring, and a way to go see what's up there but it turns out "handsome butchers" (fishermen) just hack curious fish up there is nothing good up there "emeralds are ripped away"... the green flashy gemlike scales... and then the narrator/fish is dead so there are no more words or at least that's my take Bonus trivia: She has little fishes in her lobe plugs, to extend the theme of everything fish related.
My interpretation of the chorus.. First of all, there is confusion about one of the words in the first line of the chorus, and some people hear it one way, while others hear it differently. I'll explain both.. 1) Scale armour blaze. Virgin innocence. One being brings life, the other runs for death. 2) Scale armour belies virgin innocence. One being brings life, the other runs for death. The symbol for the astrological sign Pisces is two fish swimming in the opposite direction. This represents the inherent duality of personality within a Pisces. 1) Scale armour blaze. - Fish scales are tough, and shine bright in sunlight. We can equate this to 1 side of a Pisces as people perceive them as strong. They shine bright and they have a tough armour that protects them, which is beneficial to life. "Virgin innocence" is duality. Being innocent makes one vulnerable to being taken advantage of and can lead to destruction. Hence, "one being brings life, the other runs for death." 2) Scale armour belies virgin innocence - Same as above basically. Belies means(in this context) giving the wrong impression and/or disguise. "My scale armour disguises (by giving people the wrong impression) my virgin innocence. She is contradicting herself, she uses one side of acting tough(seeking life) to hide her broken innocence (which can lead to destruction). In other words, she's allowing herself to take the hits that life throws at her so she can progress, but the world is a butcher and it will rip those emerald scales away, chopping up that innocence. This is just my interpretation lol
I thought you'd already done this - my bad! So glad you're doing it now. And, as several other posters have noted, it's "belies" not "blaze" - Jinjer has better vocabulary than 90% of (native) English speakers and that seems to have confused the internet 😆
Wait, you’re just finding Jinjer? My word. You have enjoyed a lot of metal on your channel, but you haven’t enjoyed anything like Jinjer. My man, you are in for quite a treat. This is the intro to Jinjer, what’s ahead is quite the spectacle. I’ve enjoyed metal for forty years and nothing, and I do mean nothing like Jinjer has ever come along. There’s been some great things, but there has never been anything quite like this band and their front woman. I’m envious of what you’re about to experience. I hope you enjoy it because this band is in a league of their own. Full stop.
@@SparkimusPrime Correct. If you listen to the way she says "life" - you can tell she says blaze. If she was saying "belies", that "i" vowel would stick out - instead you hear that hard "a" in blaze. Her annunciation through her growls is incredible - also the reason she opens her mouth so much when she growls compared to others - she wants her lyrics heard and understood.
@@quinceykirkland1227 Her scale armor is blazing. Like fish scales can look in the sunlight. I know what you’re saying, but that’s what Tati said, and it does make sense.
I believe the actual lyrics are "Scale armor belies virgin innocence." The story is about a fish, & I believe the intent of the lyrics is to imply that the scales on a fish look like armor, & that the armor belies the fact that the fish has the innocence of a virgin.
Great reaction. Pisces the twin fish symbol of the Zodiac this song goes back and forth from singing about the fish and comparing it to herself like how fish are skittish but then she says how she is skittish and the scales are like armour or a mask we put on when facing challenges life throw's at us so a lot of refrences between Pisces the symbol, Fish and there behavior and herself. That's what i've gathered unless there's a hidden meaning?.
The Dualaity of the Pisces ,the Two Fish one going up other down one brings life , the other div well for me it's real world and Fantasy ,my troubles. And Neptune is are Ruling Planet, I have a Femine sign I recently read
Love the infinity gauntlet comment. LOL. Hey -- a man today can wear anything as long as it has an UnderArmor logo on it. You'd rock a tactical mumu. No question.
They made this video partly to showcase drummer Vlad, who was new in the band at the time. PIsces is a sign of duality, so "One brings life, the other runs for death" kind of makes sense. A fun fact about the lyrics is that Tati writes them in Russian first, and then translates them to English! Another band with a great female singer who can switch between cleans and screams on a dime is Spiritbox. Circle with Me or Rule of Nines are good places to start.
the rabbit hole of all rabbit holes and ukraine’s finest,they have lots of great songs and i hope you react to more. i recomment "judgement and punishment ( vocal one take) next or "perennial ( live at waken) both shows what tatiana can really do.
she is awsome, for the lyrics, scale armor blaze, is obviously link to the pisces. like fish scales that looks like an armor. then one brings life, the other run for death, its about the duality that affect pisces people behavior.
Spiritbox is another band you should definitely check out, maybe starting out with their older stuff. Courtney is a beast on vocals. Beautiful voice, and the band kicks ass.
Thank you for covering this band, I've been waiting for this video for a while lol. I'd like to recommend you check out the bands Clutch ( Electric Worry) and Fair to Midland ( Dance of the Manatee)
No one seems to consider the title of the sing when reacting. The lyrics reference the duality of person. The yin and yang. Good and evil. Light and dark. The Pisces. It's also represented in the arrangement. The sweet siren singing, and the monster.
She's describing the duality nature of a Pisces. The singer is a Pisces. Hence the name of a song. Have a quick read about Pisces to get a better understanding of their nature.
Would really love to see you react to Wolves at the Gate. "Deadweight", "The Bird and the Snake", "A Voice in the Violence" would all be great pics. You'll love the vocal dynamics
If you watch closely, she says, 'ego hardly can be BIG cause I'm selfless' and 'scale armor BELIES virgin innocence' - just thought I'd throw that out there.
Try googling Romantic Poets and Jinjer's Pisces Meaning, Duality, and the Human Tragedy for some insight to this song, and oerhaps Tatiana's singing styling.
great singer great song, this f's ppl up when i play it in the car and they are amazed it is a woman. small request "the gift of guilt - gojira" youll love it. please do live they are great in studio but live is whole nother level thanks for the videos :)
Love your reaction videos. I was thinking about suggestions and I don’t think you would want to make a reaction video about them but have you seen the two movies featuring the Beatles. One is Hard Days Night that is black and white and is a small behind the scenes look of the band and the other is Help! It is more of a fictional movie with a story line with them performing some of their music. I am a new subscriber so I haven’t seen if you have done any reaction videos of the Beatles but these two movies I just loved when I was a teenager (they were made way before my birth but I found them through my mother who was a beatle fan).

"Teacher,Teacher" is a must. " Vortex" is pretty rad too.
I love, love this woman's vocals! I was surprised to learn that she was inspired by another one of my favorite artists. That artist, I think would be right up your alley, depending on the song.
I swear when I'm able to, I'll do the coffee thing and when I do, I'll be requesting the pinky up while you drink it because THIS chick's artistry.... Is fuckin fancy.
Otep- "T.R.I.C." or "Blood Pig" are - in my opinion, the best ones to suggest when introducing Otep.
Anyway, I ramble. Love your channel, you're doing great Get that pinky ready 😊
Angela Gossow was doing this back in 2000 with the band Arch Enemy. For me, she was the Queen of the scream. Not to diminish Tatiana Shmayluk, I was just into heavier stuff in those days. Arch Enemy's Wages of Sin (2001) really displays Angela's screams. Ravenous being my fav song on the album.
Check out Spiritbox, Courtney has a beautiful voice and strong growl as well. They are amazing, cheers!
@@horrorqueen-ze9tm Vortex is straight 🔥
Thank you for actually just listening to it and not just overreacting to the growl! Tatiana is a Beast!!
And a total sweetheart :)
Sweetheart and shy love her she's amazing.
Yes, women in metal is nothing new. There are plenty of women out there that can growl and do gutterals - this is nothing shocking.
Tati can charm the socks off a cobra! She's so feaking cute and uber-talented, as is the rest of the band, obviously.
He reacted to Judgement and Punishment 8 months ago so it wasn't unexpected like most reactors.

Welcome to Jinjer! I hope to see more of this amazing band on your channel! Great Reaction!
Polo, you are the BEST youtube music reactor, period!!! I like that you can appreciate all kinds of music. You have a great sense of humor too.
Have seen them live twice and they are even better up close and personal. Tatiana is amazing on vocals and the band is amazing as well.
Yes i got to see them at a particularly small venue and I loved how personal it felt. They all killed it.
Hey Polo, Love how you approach new music with no prejudgments and give it an honest listen and reaction actually understanding song structure and balance! Keep it up man!
You will get hit with tons of Jinjer suggestions now, so her are mine!

YES! JINJEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER!!!!!!!
"scale armor blaze" is like when a fish is startled or caught and the fisherman sees the flash (blaze) of light on scales
"virgin innocence" is about the fish in the water not knowing what happens in air-world or why not to go for bait
"one being brings life" is how a fish only reproduces, and also can be sustenance to the life of others
"another runs for death" is the fisherman zooming around the surface trying to harvest
the hooks and nets are alluring, and a way to go see what's up there
but it turns out "handsome butchers" (fishermen) just hack curious fish up there is nothing good up there
"emeralds are ripped away"... the green flashy gemlike scales... and then the narrator/fish is dead so there are no more words
or at least that's my take
Bonus trivia: She has little fishes in her lobe plugs, to extend the theme of everything fish related.
You're going to enjoy this band quite a bit 🥂
Scale armor BELIES (conceals) virgin innocence
My interpretation of the chorus..
First of all, there is confusion about one of the words in the first line of the chorus, and some people hear it one way, while others hear it differently. I'll explain both..
1) Scale armour blaze. Virgin innocence. One being brings life, the other runs for death.
2) Scale armour belies virgin innocence. One being brings life, the other runs for death.
The symbol for the astrological sign Pisces is two fish swimming in the opposite direction. This represents the inherent duality of personality within a Pisces.
1) Scale armour blaze. - Fish scales are tough, and shine bright in sunlight. We can equate this to 1 side of a Pisces as people perceive them as strong. They shine bright and they have a tough armour that protects them, which is beneficial to life. "Virgin innocence" is duality. Being innocent makes one vulnerable to being taken advantage of and can lead to destruction. Hence, "one being brings life, the other runs for death."
2) Scale armour belies virgin innocence - Same as above basically. Belies means(in this context) giving the wrong impression and/or disguise. "My scale armour disguises (by giving people the wrong impression) my virgin innocence. She is contradicting herself, she uses one side of acting tough(seeking life) to hide her broken innocence (which can lead to destruction).
In other words, she's allowing herself to take the hits that life throws at her so she can progress, but the world is a butcher and it will rip those emerald scales away, chopping up that innocence.
This is just my interpretation lol
I thought you'd already done this - my bad! So glad you're doing it now. And, as several other posters have noted, it's "belies" not "blaze" - Jinjer has better vocabulary than 90% of (native) English speakers and that seems to have confused the internet 😆
Glad I found this comment. It annoys me (probably too much) that the internet get this wrong.
Nope. Tatiana confirmed it herself. It’s BLAZE. She spelled it out in an interview back in ‘20.
@@jtraybourn1160 Really? I thought it was the complete opposite - I'd be grateful if you could link or direct me to that
She is a queen of vocals
YES!!!
JINJER ROCKS!!!
THE DRUMMER!!!
TATIANA!!!
Wait, you’re just finding Jinjer?
My word. You have enjoyed a lot of metal on your channel, but you haven’t enjoyed anything like Jinjer.
My man, you are in for quite a treat. This is the intro to Jinjer, what’s ahead is quite the spectacle.
I’ve enjoyed metal for forty years and nothing, and I do mean nothing like Jinjer has ever come along. There’s been some great things, but there has never been anything quite like this band and their front woman.
I’m envious of what you’re about to experience. I hope you enjoy it because this band is in a league of their own. Full stop.
Scale armor "belies" not "blaze". A lot of lyric sources get that part wrong.
It is actually blaze. She’s confirmed it in an interview. I do like belies better though for the record lol
@@SparkimusPrime Correct. If you listen to the way she says "life" - you can tell she says blaze. If she was saying "belies", that "i" vowel would stick out - instead you hear that hard "a" in blaze. Her annunciation through her growls is incredible - also the reason she opens her mouth so much when she growls compared to others - she wants her lyrics heard and understood.
@@tattoodude8946 All facts.
Blaze doesn't even make sense lol.
@@quinceykirkland1227 Her scale armor is blazing. Like fish scales can look in the sunlight. I know what you’re saying, but that’s what Tati said, and it does make sense.
Powerhouse she is...!
Kuddos to you reacting to the song and not just to the growl. Noticing the excellent drummer too. 👌
I believe the actual lyrics are "Scale armor belies virgin innocence." The story is about a fish, & I believe the intent of the lyrics is to imply that the scales on a fish look like armor, & that the armor belies the fact that the fish has the innocence of a virgin.
Perennial live at Wacken shows her talent well.
Scale armor >>belies
Great reaction. Pisces the twin fish symbol of the Zodiac this song goes back and forth from singing about the fish and comparing it to herself like how fish are skittish but then she says how she is skittish and the scales are like armour or a mask we put on when facing challenges life throw's at us so a lot of refrences between Pisces the symbol, Fish and there behavior and herself. That's what i've gathered unless there's a hidden meaning?.
You are funnny. Nice video. Sending best wishes from Ukraine.
The Dualaity of the Pisces ,the Two Fish one going up other down one brings life , the other div well for me it's real world and Fantasy ,my troubles. And Neptune is are Ruling Planet, I have a Femine sign I recently read
best Metal band out there right now is Jinjer the best rock band out there right now is The Warning....Female rockers are killing it right now!
Love the infinity gauntlet comment. LOL. Hey -- a man today can wear anything as long as it has an UnderArmor logo on it. You'd rock a tactical mumu. No question.
They made this video partly to showcase drummer Vlad, who was new in the band at the time.
PIsces is a sign of duality, so "One brings life, the other runs for death" kind of makes sense.
A fun fact about the lyrics is that Tati writes them in Russian first, and then translates them to English!
Another band with a great female singer who can switch between cleans and screams on a dime is Spiritbox. Circle with Me or Rule of Nines are good places to start.
Love the lyrics intro 😁
Great reaction as usual
Love the honesty about the look like comment
This song is about the Duality of being a Pisces. Two opposite ends of existence trapped in one person.
the rabbit hole of all rabbit holes and ukraine’s finest,they have lots of great songs and i hope you react to more.
i recomment "judgement and punishment ( vocal one take) next or "perennial ( live at waken) both shows what tatiana can really do.
Teacher Teacher!
u r in for a ride............this crew is incredible
It is “Scale Armor Belies” Virgin innocence. Beneath the armor. Hope that helps make sense of that line.
Jinjer is awesome! Listen to Lorna shore if you want some crazy deathcore vocals
she is awsome, for the lyrics, scale armor blaze, is obviously link to the pisces. like fish scales that looks like an armor. then one brings life, the other run for death, its about the duality that affect pisces people behavior.
Check out I’m so sick by Flyleaf As much as I love Tatiana’s voice, I like Lacey Sturm’s from flyleaf a little more.
Been waiting for this one! Ty
Spiritbox is another band you should definitely check out, maybe starting out with their older stuff. Courtney is a beast on vocals. Beautiful voice, and the band kicks ass.
wow never heard that before and it was insanely amazing
Song dynamics? Off the hook. This song is a masterpiece. Tatiana forever.
I Speak astronomy is great from Jinjer
Thank you for covering this band, I've been waiting for this video for a while lol. I'd like to recommend you check out the bands Clutch ( Electric Worry) and Fair to Midland ( Dance of the Manatee)
The mumu I'm OK with. The sparkles not so much, that sh!t gets everywhere.
Glad you enjoyed it (we knew you would) a couple more songs by then I know you'll enjoy...
Judgement and punishment
Scissors
Sit stay roll over
She is amazing. 12 times live
No one seems to consider the title of the sing when reacting. The lyrics reference the duality of person. The yin and yang. Good and evil. Light and dark. The Pisces. It's also represented in the arrangement. The sweet siren singing, and the monster.
Perennial is a masterpiece as well as I speak astronomy, a personal favorite of mine is Waltz, a simple song but in my opinion, awesome
Bit of Opeth in this performance. Nice
She's describing the duality nature of a Pisces. The singer is a Pisces. Hence the name of a song. Have a quick read about Pisces to get a better understanding of their nature.
Amazing song!
Follow the fans. More please. Anything live
Learned the song on the guitar and that ending is such a pain.. Very fun song to play though !
Pisces is making the reaction rounds again (as well as Ghost Love Score and Gimme Chocolate). Feels like 2019 all over.
I think it's supposed to be "Scale armor BELIES virgin innocence"
You should do other Jinjer stuff. I recommend "I Speak Astronomy".
I'd love to see a dual reaction to Great Gig in the Sky and Knife Prty. I see the latter as an homage to the former.
Would really love to see you react to Wolves at the Gate. "Deadweight", "The Bird and the Snake", "A Voice in the Violence" would all be great pics. You'll love the vocal dynamics
If you watch closely, she says, 'ego hardly can be BIG cause I'm selfless' and 'scale armor BELIES virgin innocence' - just thought I'd throw that out there.
Try googling Romantic Poets and Jinjer's Pisces Meaning, Duality, and the Human Tragedy for some insight to this song, and oerhaps Tatiana's singing styling.
Haha been waiting for this one!
Vortex Vortex Vortex!!!
great singer great song, this f's ppl up when i play it in the car and they are amazed it is a woman. small request "the gift of guilt - gojira" youll love it. please do live they are great in studio but live is whole nother level thanks for the videos :)
Love your reaction videos. I was thinking about suggestions and I don’t think you would want to make a reaction video about them but have you seen the two movies featuring the Beatles. One is Hard Days Night that is black and white and is a small behind the scenes look of the band and the other is Help! It is more of a fictional movie with a story line with them performing some of their music. I am a new subscriber so I haven’t seen if you have done any reaction videos of the Beatles but these two movies I just loved when I was a teenager (they were made way before my birth but I found them through my mother who was a beatle fan).
Live the Exorcist joke 🤣🤣🤣
2017 i went to watch Arch Enemy live, warmup band was some unknown Jinjer and oh boy they stole the show :)
