Jack Merrit, who Dave referenced in this song, worked for a programme ran by Cambridge university that helped rehabilitation of prisoners. He was unfortunately killed in a terror attack in London, hence the tribute. He actually worked directly with Dave’s brother who is in prison so this was a very personal message.
For more context, this was at the Brit awards, which as you probably know is a massive event for British television. Dave actually won the album of the year for psychodrama at the same awards show so all eyes were on him. Not only was choosing the song black a very powerful way for him to use the platform he had, the last verse is not in the original song and was written just for that award show. Coming out with such powerful words, on the biggest stage when he was the biggest act at the time, was very very powerful. I remember crying watching that, it was an incredibly moving experience for me as a Brit and huge Dave fan.
I also read somewhere that Jack Merrit's parents were in the audience that day, and weren't told about the last verse beforehand
@@Sufkop that must of been a nice surprise for them
@@Sufkop Dave gave them tickets
Can you imagine how Jack's parents felt. Kudos to them for raising a son who is a credit to society. We need a million Jacks in this world
I'm from London England and I remember when Dave performed this set live at the Brit Awards.
Some people accused Dave of being racist which was and still is, absurd.
I guess some people find it very uncomfortable to sit with the truth.
Say less 👊👊👊
oh yes he’s starting to dive into Dave screw face capital is an amazing song for you to analyse love your work ✨✨
Thanks Jude!👍😊
@@ReactionTherapyOfficial I think a much better song for you to react to as a psychotherapist would be Dave - Leslie, Screwface capital is still a great song!
@@user-xg9wb9zs7j the psychotherapist has to react to Psycho right?
@@odthemadman2710 he has
@@odthemadman2710 He's done Psycho already.
Couple of things for non UK listeners. The Windrush generation helped build the UK again after WW2. They came from predominantly Caribbean countries at the invitation of the UK government. In 2018 many were threatened with deportation, denied legal rights, lost homes, lost jobs.
Grenfell was a tower block in London that was destroyed by fire in 2017 killing 72 people. The fire was caused by dangerous cladding. Leslie Thomas QC who represents some of the families has repeatedly said, "Grenfell is inextricably linked with race..." It is worth a Google, same with Windrush.
Jack Merritt and Saskia Jones (who was also pictured), were both killed in the London Bridge terror attacks. Jack and Saskia worked in prisoner rehabilitation. Jack worked with Dave's brother and he knew him well.
Great reaction btw, thanks! The whole album Psychodrama is worth a listen.
One of the things that always amazes me with Dave is that his piano talent is self taught - he used teaching himself piano as one of his outlets when suffering from major depression as a teenager.
Finally omg thank you soo much I requested this a lot great reaction. the last verse is not in the origional song, he took the moment to say the last verse the truth live at the brits 🔥🔥🔥
Truly incredible artist Dave is . To go through everything he has at such a young age takes a different breed of human .
Dave Panic Attack Live is a masterpiece.
Yes bro such an underrated song. Hard agree
I have been waiting for Dave absolutely amazing!!! I would recommend Heart Attack, Both Sides of a Smile & Survivors guilt of his new album would love to hear your breakdown!
Song and particularly this performance of it still gives me goosebumps every time i hear it, 2 years after the event!
Dave is such an incredible artist and songs like Black really open your eyes as a white person to the struggles and history of Black heritage. his ability to convey the expereinces and facts whilst also alligning to the flow of the song is just insane, one of , if not the best at the moment
So glad you’ve reacted to this!!! I’d love for you to react to 2 more Dave songs:
How I Met My Ex
Lesley
Genuinely the best live performance I’ve ever seen
Oh Tom! This’ll be a long comment!!! Lol!
This is one of my favourite performances ever! And such a brilliant track, I listen to Dave every day, so talented, wise beyond his years! My fav UK artist, I’m actually going to see him live next week and can’t wait!
So, the Brit Awards in the UK are like the Grammy Awards in the US, so for Dave to chose this track to perform was awesome!
The other guy in the piano is Fraser T Smith who is an absolute legend - amazing writer, record producer etc and has won numerous awards including Grammy, Brit, Ivor Novello, Mercury etc. He’s like the production/writing ‘cheat code’ in the UK and has co-written and/or produced for Adele, Sam Smith, Stormzy, Craig David, Kylie, Chip, Tinchy Stryker, N-Dubz, Jennifer Hudson, Jennifer Lopez, Rag N Bone Man - I could go on and on! Lol!
According to Dave, Fraser has helped him immeasurably over the years with guiding his career. He’s co-written and produced most of Dave’s tracks from when he was 17/18. (The ‘writing’ doesn’t necessarily mean the lyrics, it could be parts of the instrumental or arranging of the lyrics/melody/making the beats etc). He’s taught Dave how to produce so he can now do a lot of that himself too now.
Also helps that Dave is super intelligent, fun. Fact - he gave up his place at Law School to make music instead!
He talks about his background a lot in his music, his parents were Nigerian (just going from memory here so someone will correct me if I’m wrong lol!). His dad was a minister and his mum a nurse, his dad got deported from the uk for not having a working visa but his mum stayed to bring up Dave and his 2 brothers herself, working all hours at 2/3 jobs to keep food on the table.
Both Dave’s brothers have been in jail, this is where the tie in to Jack Merrit comes in. He was a graduate of Cambridge university (extremely prestigious uni here in the uk) and helped to run a programme for rehabilitation of prisoners, helping those in prison and working with families of prisoners. He helped Dave’s family and his brother who is serving life for murder. His brother was convicted on the controversial ‘joint enterprise’ laws in the uk, whereby, you can be present at the scene of a crime, but not actually be participating and still be convicted. He was hanging with the wrong crowd and was present when a teenager was murdered by others in his group.
Dave had invited Jack’s parents as his guests to the Brit Awards and they didn’t know he had added the tribute to Jack - I can’t even imagine what that must’ve been like for them!
The third verse of this song was added for the Brits, the original ends before the lines about our prime minister being racist.
Dave used his platform to address this, along with issues such as the racism Meghan Markle (Mariried to Prince Harry and mixed race) received and how she is treated differently to Kate (who is married to Harry’s brother Prince William).
Dave wants to see unity in our communities, more funding for poorer communities, housing for the hundreds of people who lost their homes in the Grenfell Tower fire (the UK Government promised this and didn’t deliver) and help for the ‘Windrush’ generation - people for the Caribbean who were brought to the uk to help rebuild the twins and cities after the war - they were made promises that they’d be properly compensated and they weren’t.
Sorry guys - such a long comment but I could talk about this performance all day lol!
That was an awesome history and current events lesson! Thanks so much Emma! Always love your feedback and insight on the music and the artists! Thank you thank you thank you😊👍
@@ReactionTherapyOfficial you’re very welcome Tom!
Dave is such a talent - he closed the show at the most recent Brit Awards too, a couple of weeks ago - and it was amazing! He chose a track with 4 other UK artists, Fredo, Meekz, Ghetts and Giggs - who are all great, he could’ve picked one of his tracks where it was just him, but chose to share the spotlight and it was epic!
! I’m still playing catch up on the channel lol! You’ve reacted to some great tracks that I can’t wait to listen to!
@@scottishemmaa2457 always great to hear from you Emma!😊👍
Sorry to add but Jack was murdered while doing this work and his father STILL stated that Jack wouldn't want unnecessary detainments or Draconian sentences.
A true champion of the underdogs
@@AndyMc1996 thanks Andrew, the Merrit’s sound like an awesome family, so sad.
a little late but great reaction, dave got me into UK rap when i was in high school. He is truly one of the best in the world at what he does, it’s crazy to me that he was the same age as me when he performed this.
The man playing the piano is Fraser T Smith, and if I'm not mistaken, he is also the voice of the therapist on Dave's Album
Big fan of when you react to the UK stuff, please give us more!
Hopefully soon!!!😊👍
Fantastic reaction, thank you. I can highly recommend Akala. His fire in the booth parts 1 to 4 are legendary, and songs like Find no Enemy and Carried away are incredible ✌💙
Thank you for reacting to this, I wasn't sure you wouldn't do it :)
I was at work in shepherds bush the day Grenfell happened and working for a charity went up to support with food and clothes donations. It was surreal that I went home and saw it on tv and listened to politicians argue over who bore responsibility for rehoming and who deserved rehoming when to this day it's been swept under the carpet while people still suffer.
Please react to “DANCE WITH THE DEVIL” - Immortal Technique. Beware though it is some of the craziest story telling you can picture in your head.
Patreon!😊👍
Dave mentioned Grenfell at the end of this. Grenfell tower burned down killing over 80 people in London. The disaster was a direct result of council cuts that made the building unsafe. UK rapper Lowkey lived in the building next door and was there. He's done a few songs to raise awareness of the situation. The first is called Ghosts of Grenfell. I recommend it for a reaction. Keep a box of tissues handy.
Can't wait for 100k
Me too!!!! Thank you😊👍
you must do Dave-Panic Attack live....it is very special!!!!!
& heart attack
Dave wrote this age 19, all the words after Dave stood up were not in the original song, he wrote them just for this performance
Man Tom, you are defenitely one of my favorite reactors on YT, and persons in general😅 You have a pure heart and are very open minded, we need more of that in this world.
I would really love to see you watch another UK artist by the name of «Lowkey»
The songs below are some of my favorites and his most powerful songs. Lowkey is kind of a social protest rapper.
I made sure to include the links as well 😁👍🏼
I hope you find the time to check these out❤️

I've watched alot of your videos this evening, and you made my evening, thank you :D
Your comment made my evening!😊👍
Amazing reaction as always panic attack live is a natural next one to do Tom just as amazing
Tom, your going to have to make a video on JKYL + HYD. He released it when he was 19. Talks abit about his past, he is truly a lyrical genius. Favourite Ik artist by far.
Damn he chooses the best songs to react to! This has gotta be the most requested dave track ive seen for reactors! Super stoked to watch this one! 💜
this was a surprisingly good review
Thank you😁
I think it's the right time for you to react falling in riverse 👀
Great reaction. You should have a look at Akala and his 4 fire in booth freestyles. They'd be long videos but I think you'd enjoy them.
Please do My 19th Birthday by Dave PLEASE
Loved your reaction. Subscribed. Lots of Love from the UK 💜 -x-
Loud in our laughter, Silent in our suffering.
i'm late to this video but Dave is one of the best lyricists currently in my opinion, the way he performs his songs and the emotion he puts into every lyric is sensational. The guy who joins him is one of his producers Fraser T Smith and he is truly incredible, he helped Dave a lot when working on Psychotherapy. Great Video
You're the goat! You should react to Twenty To One, by Dave also
Thank you😊👍
YES!, Lesley next please!!!
Pumped for this!
The other guy is Fraser T Smith. A producer and friend of Dave.
U need to check out Dave-Panic attack🔥🔥 and Dave - Heart attack🔥🔥

Yes Tom! UK all day 🥃✌🏻
Thank you Michael😊👍
React to Dave in the fire Brit awards live
React to G Herbo "Can't sleep" please
The "go home" was reference to graffiti that was very prevalent in the uk directed at non whites to go back to their home i.e. Caribbean, Asia etc. I think you may have confused the point with blacks telling blacks "go home "for example not "leaving the hood" or the "endz"
You should check out “The First Step To Becoming A God Is a Bottle To The Face.” - Pouya
Really enjoyed this! Hope you react to more UK music.
I love what you’re doing

Dave in the fire, live at the brits 2022
Pinocchio's Story by Kanye West is a good listen - Its the final track on 808s and heartbreaks which was an album after his mother passed and fiance broke up with him. Song is gut wrenching

You should do a reaction to into your arms by the maine
All that 'being black is stepping up because your father is gone' line does is remind me how black people have been mass incarcerated in the UK, but more so in the US for literally decades as a deliberate racist tactic to control and oppress them. I've seen a lot of people take that line to regurgitate that right wing talking point about absent fathers in the black home, when clearly that isn't what Dave is referring to. It's a commentary on the legal and prison system in the UK and the US.
Dave is a genius man
Hey new subscriber. I love your reactions to uk music. Please can you react to low-key - ghosts of grenfell. Maybe search what happened at Grenfell first just for some backstory. Thank you 🥰
Thank you so much for joining the family! Appreciate your support and request 😊👍
also recommend "Baby you're a haunted house" by Gerard Way
Hey man I don't know where I can drop reaction requests but please can you react to Ocean Wisdom - Voices In My Head. Very deep track that goes into the artist's mind. Was the biggest track on his album Big Talk vol.1
