Courtney's grandma wanted to hear a clean song from her, however due to covid restrictions, she never got to hear the song or see Courtney before she passed.
I've worked as a caregiver for Alzheimer's patients for years and this song kills me every time. The slow and gradual decline, the fear and confusion are just absolutely a slow motion tragedy. Spiritbox made an absolute masterpiece with this one.
I've grown numb to it.... now I worry that when my grandparents pass, I won't feel anything. I think working in a home might have broken me. Now I just feel guilty for not caring anymore. It's a roller coaster of fucked up.
Like a lot of folks have mentioned, this song makes me cry every time I hear it. Although not having lost an elderly family member to a disease, I did lose my 2 week old son. The emotions hit hard on this one. Great reaction folks.
The picture of the woman whose face goes blurry is an actual picture of the videographer, Dylan’s grandmother Constance, who is part of the inspiration of this song and video.
everything about this song is an absolute masterpiece. much like dementia/alzheimer’s, it starts slow and calm, to chaotic and muddy, and then finally just…peace as the person passes and is released from the grip of the disease. the acoustic version is just as beautiful, the strings that accompany her are truly fitting.
It's a heavy song, but in a different way! It's one of my faves and don't worry I watched several reactions and almost every human has broke. I still do. It really gets you to feel it.
"...like a shadow passing by, crashing into shapes and then fading with my innocence." The lyric I didn't know I needed, but now cannot leave me untouched. Loss sucks. Loss of mind, body or person leaves a wake. After the emotional build-up, the last close-up of Courtney when she appears to move her chin forward in attempt to swallow the feelings, just hits!
This is the first time I've broken down crying during this song, and it was because Kyle started crying. My papa had dementia and it was the most heartbreaking thing to watch as he declined. I miss him everyday.
Fuck man, I ALWAYS cry when I watch this video and Kyle breaking made it so much worse. My mom getting alzheimers is one of the biggest fears of my life, and my grandma recently passed from Dementia. It's terrifying and sad.
We spend decases struggling constantly to become the people we want to be at great cost. Unfortunate that it can be potentially erased in such a quiet way. 😮💨
Every person involved in recording this song and producing the video had a hand in something absolutely beautiful. The way they told the story of something so destructive in such a haunting yet mesmerizing way is nothing short of a masterpiece. The first time I heard it I was entranced by the melody and Courtney’s voice. They did such a good job touching on such a hard topic in a way that helped people connect but not without avoiding the terrors of it.
A couple of months ago, I lost an aunt who was like my second mom to cancer. It is very difficult to watch someone you love go through an illness and see how they suffer. Feeling that helplessness not being able to do more for them. Listening to this song is a somewhat bittersweet feeling. I love your channel guys. I send you a big hug
This song hits so much harder for me when I listen to it, especially since my great grandmother passed at the beginning of last year, and now that my grandfather passed away two weeks ago, this song has been helping me a lot through my grief, so thank you Kyle and Eric for checking out this heart string tearing but gorgeous euphoric song that has helped me definitely but also a lot of other people as well. I hope you have an amazing day, week, and rest of your year, keep up with this channel.
I have heard this song hundreds of times but it gets me everytime. Especially by seing your reactions to it. Its so nice to see you recognize the meaning and emotions in this masterpiece
Appreciate your vulnerability in this reaction, lads. I went through this for 9 or so years with my great aunt. She was just another grandmother figure to me growing up, helped raise me. We would hang out every Friday night after school and her house was my 2nd home. When she got to 90 we noticed the first major signs, and bless her she hung on until 99. My mother moved in as her full-time carer, and I did as much as I could being the driver and respite carer but eventually it was just too much, and her final years were in a nearby care facility where the staff were absolutely incredible. Those who haven't had someone they love stay physically while their spark and memories slowly fade away lilely can't undertstand the range of emotions and pain those around them go through - to one week catch them forgetting what you do to work, and maybe a month later asking your name a few times to suddenly not even being aware you're in the room. It is a special sort of trauma. Dementia is such a horrible thing, and this video never fails to make me cry because it somehow perfectly paints with music the collection of grief, anger, loss and helplessness that is nigh impossible to define with words. This song and video are truly a timeless piece of art. Keep doing what you're doing lads. Much love from Australia.
The lyrics and the visuals where created simultaneously....Courtney and the video director shared similar experiences with their grandma's, so they decided to do it that way....the message gets the weight it deserves!
This song is just brilliant! Touching! And just...aw...the end of the song hits hard when it slowly kicks in when the memories fade and the slow decline and the way it's done is just amazing...brilliant song!
My grandma passed from dementia last year and I hadn't been able to see her for a couple years prior to that because of covid, so this always hits me extra hard. I saw them live earlier this year and bawled my eyes out during this song. Beautiful song, but it was rough..
Prayers up for your family member you mentioned. This is such an artistic song (hauntingly beautiful and heavy in its own way) paired with a brilliant video. Spiritbox and the video producers absolutely nailed this - and thanks for reacting.
I saw them live in March, their first show back after a mid tour hiatus. The entire performance, including their support acts, was unbelievable. The vibe, the setlist, the venue, their energy. And one of the many things that made it was when the played Constance. Was not expecting that. And even before playing it Courtney was getting emotional. That night went straight into my top 5 ever gigs. And thats a pretty long list
This song makes me feel shit I don't want to, which is part of why I like it so much. Eric's giant coffee mug saved me from being just torn up the whole time lol
you guys should check out Bloodline by crown the empire! One of the songs that helped take me from listening to rock strictly to listening to heavier metal. Overall an amazing band!
I have never lost someone to Alzeimers, but this is HARD to watch. I lost my mother and my grandmother (I'm not even 40) so I can relate to the feelings. I do find comfort in my thought that; The last time you see "the grandmother" in the video she's gone to heaven to see her husband who died yers before her. I hope that's where we all meet up in the end
You should check out some of Courtney’s one-take performances like Circle with Me, Rule of Nines, and Holy Roller. It truly shows how amazing her voice is and how she transitions.
You gotta listen to “Partners In Crime” by Set It Off. its nothing like NF or Falling In Reverse, but that are one of my top 3 favorite bands. You gotta take a listen. Please!!!

I know this feeling. I haven't opportunity to say goodbye to my grandma because Covid. It not easy but life is life.

Yes, me too! This song hits me so hard.

I cry every time I hear this song. I lost my grandmother to Alzheimer’s. The items disappearing throughout the frames…gets me every time

Lost my mom to dementia two years ago this month. This video kicks my ass every time. Thank you for taking the time to watch this guys…
It's a heavy song, but in a different way! It's one of my faves and don't worry I watched several reactions and almost every human has broke. I still do. It really gets you to feel it.
This is singlehandedly the hardest soulcrushing breakdown I've ever heard. I cried till the end.
"...like a shadow passing by, crashing into shapes and then fading with my innocence." The lyric I didn't know I needed, but now cannot leave me untouched. Loss sucks.

Dude Eric gets me every damn time he drinks from those big ass cups 😂

It's ok Kyle. We all cried the first time we watched the video.
Fuck man, I ALWAYS cry when I watch this video and Kyle breaking made it so much worse. My mom getting alzheimers is one of the biggest fears of my life, and my grandma recently passed from Dementia. It's terrifying and sad.
so happy to see spiritbox back on the channel! this song hits hard
We spend decases struggling constantly to become the people we want to be at great cost. Unfortunate that it can be potentially erased in such a quiet way. 😮💨
Metalheads have feelings 🤘

Glad you found this video. One of thee most powerful videos i've ever seen.

I love your channel guys. I send you a big hug
You guys finally reacted to this! What a fucking fantastic surprise!
Dont be sorry for feeling i cried Watching this reaction you guys are the best
Ah sh*t. I was not ready. Dammit guys.
This song hits so much harder for me when I listen to it, especially since my great grandmother passed at the beginning of last year, and now that my grandfather passed away two weeks ago, this song has been helping me a lot through my grief, so thank you Kyle and Eric for checking out this heart string tearing but gorgeous euphoric song that has helped me definitely but also a lot of other people as well.

Strong emotions. I didn't catch most of the words but I could feel it.
This song is a masterpiece. My reaction ist still the same like Kyles reaction every time I listen to it
The story behind this song is so sad. Just knowing it makes the song hit harder
This song, man...always gets me! But THE VIDEO tear me apart.
I have heard this song hundreds of times but it gets me everytime. Especially by seing your reactions to it. Its so nice to see you recognize the meaning and emotions in this masterpiece
This is my second favorite song of theirs behind Holy Roller. Courtney is RIDICULOUSLY talented.
Courtney couldn't go to her grandma's funeral due to covid restrictions, and the video director's grandma was lost to dementia
Appreciate your vulnerability in this reaction, lads.
I went through this for 9 or so years with my great aunt. She was just another grandmother figure to me growing up, helped raise me. We would hang out every Friday night after school and her house was my 2nd home.

I lost my grandma in 2021 and life really hasn't been the same since. I didn't know that about Courtney I feel for her and I love her so much
The lyrics and the visuals where created simultaneously....Courtney and the video director shared similar experiences with their grandma's, so they decided to do it that way....the message gets the weight it deserves!
This damn song, listened to it 50 times but still makes me cry.
This song is just brilliant! Touching! And just...aw...the end of the song hits hard when it slowly kicks in when the memories fade and the slow decline and the way it's done is just amazing...brilliant song!
Very beautiful and very sad. Great reaction.
My grandma passed from dementia last year and I hadn't been able to see her for a couple years prior to that because of covid, so this always hits me extra hard. I saw them live earlier this year and bawled my eyes out during this song. Beautiful song, but it was rough..
So beautiful. and deeply emotional. 💫❤
Prayers up for your family member you mentioned.
This is such an artistic song (hauntingly beautiful and heavy in its own way) paired with a brilliant video. Spiritbox and the video producers absolutely nailed this - and thanks for reacting.
Dude I can hear this a million more times and get emotional every time.
"The Mara Effect" live at Silverside Sound......when you guys feel like doing a lengthy Spiritbox reaction!
They need to do this.
Oh I've not seen this in ages, already can feel the tears
well now they should do holy roller for the absolute whiplash
Great reaction guys. Kyle, I tear up to bc I think of my grandma.
I love this song; it's emotional but also verrrrrry beautiful!

I think they covered the subject matter correctly. This band is just so SMART
I wish you guys would do more songs from this band. I really think you would come to love them.

Lost my mom to Dementia. This song hits me like a truck. So beautiful. .

I was getting all emotional until he pulled that comically large mug out of nowhere 😂
You guys should do Holy Roller next. Or Circle With Me. And then after those, you really need to check out The Mara Effect live at Silverside Sound.
Where do get those wonderful mugs from?
I love this song its a different kind of heavy.
I cry every time
I have yet to see a reactor that don't get destroyed by this. This song is one of the HEAVIEST.
you need to react to While She Sleeps - to the flowers
My grandma died a year before this came out and her name was Constance. Absolutly lost it.
Another song just like this with a great video is darko us - Donna
Please more spiritbox
You gotta listen to “Partners In Crime” by Set It Off. its nothing like NF or Falling In Reverse, but that are one of my top 3 favorite bands. You gotta take a listen. Please!!!
