My exposure to Killswitch Engage (besides Dio's Holy Diver cover) was this fire burns. It's good for motivation, and yes it was CM Punk's (wrestler) first entrance song in WWE. Killswitch Engage - This Fire Burns (HQ) / Nikodem Skołobrzegu ruclips.net/video/KpzfdkTuiC4/видео.html
Remember to give yourself credit as well. The band did not carry you through the dark times, they are the band that you chose to walk with you through those times and keep you company. Without them it would have been very difficult, but without you it would have been impossible.
I got to attend my great-grandfather's 100th birthday, and pretty much the entire family showed up. We roasted a whole hog, and I saw my great-grandpa take a couple shots of his favorite vodka. My dad later explained to me that my great-grandpa is normally much more reserved, and had never expected to live that long. He called the family together because he figured it was the last time he'd get to see all of his kids, grandkids, and great-grandkids together in the same place at once. What impressed me was the clarity of his mind. I had to slow down my speech and talk loudly (he was a bit hard of hearing), but he knew exactly who I was, what my name was, and so on. He lived to be 104. Two years after his 100th birthday, I had to rush home, because his son (my grandfather) had passed away from a heart attack. I helped my dad bury him at sea, in accordance with my grandfather's wishes. Once a year, my dad takes a boat out and drops a bundle of flowers (with no plastic, of course) on the exact GPS coordinates my grandfather was buried at.
@@MentalAmandaI shouldn't be feeling so emotional about a compliment, but I am. To be fair, my sister-in-law (who is a nurse, and all-around awesome person, particularly with my daughter) told my wife and I that she's expecting, so pretty much any good family news pushes my good emotional gage into the red.
I lost my friend Reo to suicide about 8 years ago. My favorite memory of him is us going to see System of a Down in concert. He didn't really know the band but after that concert, he was a die hard fan. I still remember the joyful look on his face when they preformed Mr. Jack and they had these huge lights spell out the lyrics "FUCK YOU PIG" flash on stage during the song. That was just one of our many adventures that I treasure in my memories and I miss him deeply.
This song reminds of my relationship with my wife. In the beginning, she suffered and still suffers from depression and anxiety. However she has better understanding of how to handle it. Now, I’m the one suffering with it and she’s been by my side as I was with her battles.
KSE has brought me out of some dark times. Them and August Burns Red. Through the loss of my parents. They have such beautiful lyrics. I always enjoy their spiritual approach to loss.
Having lived my first year with out my mother, I think everything you mentioned seemed extremely valid. Until my last day on this earth, I’ll always be trying to put the pieces together and understand the reasons behind the situation. Also, having never heard of this band before, the style of this particular song is so magnetic (at least to me) in the sense that real life issues like emotions and mental health are a much bigger draw than a song about going out to a night club and drinking one’s money away. Thank you for this. 🧡
This is such a beautiful song. I used to listen to this quite a lot when I was a little younger. It helped me get through some hard times I went through. The meaning of this song is fantastic but man does it pull the heart strings 😓
My favorite memory of my little sister was all of them when she was alive. Even when we fought or life was super hard. It's why I refuse to hold a grudge against someone close. Luckily we weren't at odds, but you could lose something at anything, so don't let there be a regret when it's too late. Wait till you hear killswitch with Howard singing, btw.
Im relatively new to your channel but I have watched a few of your videos and this one was the only one that genuinely put me in tears. I knew it was going to be really hard for me when it comes to grief but ever since my dog died i dont want to talk about them or even see one on screen. I know i dont have the best mental health practices i cant process my emotions very well and i let things fester until it gets to tipping point. But im really trying to get better. The video was great, the music was great (im a fan of killswitch engage but that was also my first time listening to that song) and i love your positivity. Thank you.
I know I already shared a story, but id like to share another, if you don't mind. A little while back, I shared this music video with my older brother (who is a survivor of a suicide attempt, that's a story in itself) when he was feeling lost and unable see the good in life, even though his amazing wife was doing her absolute best. I was overseas at the time, and having a long, meaningful conversation was almost impossible due to the time difference. I shared this music video, and according to him, it gave him that moment of clarity where he realized that people do care about him, and it was a key point in his efforts to turn things around.
Porcelain by Orphan.. It's probably the hardest song I have listened to about a person emotion's after losing someone. It's pretty intense. Kind of like that screaming you do in your own head afterwards, or the external. It's the first metal song that I have legit cried to.
First time I've heard this song not long after I've lost my brother. And since then it always reminds me of him and those things we wanted to do together but never did.
God that feeling of just wanting to scream. I was there a few weeks ago. I usually go to the shower, put some music on, and just screamed without making a sound. This video always gets me
Fade In / Fade Out by Nothing More is another great song (like this one) that really hits you in the Feels, especially for those of us missing our dad. I’m glad you’re still here with us.
The guys in this band also have a side project called Times of Grace, with their latest album called 'Songs of Loss and Separation' dealing with more of these feelings. I would recommend Rescue, Bleed Me and To Carry The Weight. I've met them, genuinely loving souls.
So just wanted to start by saying I got my first job in a very long time so my attendance may be even more spotty than it has been, but if the job works out, I'll be able to live more comfortably than I ever have been able to on my own income. So I really loved the song. Never really listened to Killswitch Engage, but the lyrical genius of this song, I will be listening to more.
The process of Pre-Grieving is very real. TW Death/Trauma/Cancer/Foster Care My Aunt was diagnosed with lung cancer, shortly after beating Lymphoma, for the third time. The tumor was supposed to be removed and then she would receive treatment, but she was told she had weeks and those two weeks were awful. She was my first Mom, as I was adopted and she was my first foster mom. I'm slowly healing, but the first year is definitely the worst
I feel the verse (as far as east to west) means no matter how far away they are from each other they will always be with them no matter what until the day the brother left behind dies even when the I'll brother dies.
This song has always reminded me of my brother. Thankfully I didn't lose him but in the summer of 2009 he had so many surgeries that put his life on the line way too many times. He was in critical condition at least 4 times that summer and being overdosed by the doctor's which also almost killed him. I'm so thankful he pulled through but the constant feeling of being lost was just much more than I could take.
Yea...hits you right in the feels doesn't it. I do not know when it hapened but Metal is no longer about drugs, alcohol and women. These days, its all about making you feel the muisc. Connecting with people. I have a list of metal songs that will make you cry. Try Killswitch Engage "I am broken too".
I dance with my daughter to this song, she's 2 and loves it , it's our song me and my gf split and I'm not gonna be here everyday any more for her so this is my song to her
I just stumbled upon your channel by coincidence and found it awesome! I'd like to make a suggestion of a band and a song, it doesn't matter if you react to it or not, but it speaks A LOT about mental health issues. Band: icon for hire Songs: iodine Hope of morning Under the knife Just a phrase from iodine. "I say I wanna be happy but I quickly forget. Will I sabotage all the good I've got left? Depression's like a big fur coat. It's made of dead things but it keeps me warm". Both Icon for Hire and Sonata Arctica helped me get through a really tough time in my life. Keep up the amazing job of spreading awareness about mental health!
This video brought back some memories for sure. The scene where the guy is shooting pool; in 2004, a cousin I was close with, which I may have mentioned this before but my cousin Justin, while my parents were going through a divorce, the night before Justin died, he was trying to find my number to call me. He died in a car crash. Some months later that year I remember being in a bar, and shooting pool, having some drinks, and this girl I went to school with that knew us both, that I used to have a crush on, who had a crush on Justin (he never knew I liked her, but he didn't have feelings for her anyway but I guess I have to laugh a little about that)- anyway, she asks me about him. This was kind of a heavy burden for me, to see her reaction when I told her what had happened. She ended up going down a dark path, and to this day, I have no idea what ever happened to her. Doesn't bother me that she didn't have feelings for me in return. It bothers me, that she took that path.
@@MentalAmanda Oh no. When someone I'm interested in isn't interested in me, it's not in my nature to waste time and I pretty quickly walk away from that person. Closure and I are not on friendly terms. I wish it were different but that's the world I live in. I never get closure. For anything.
This band got me though early sobriety from alcohol after a GF left me for not giving her a child.. their songs are about self empowerment, and helping others even when you are at your weakest.. Reject Yourself is my ALL TIME FAVORITE of theirs. Followed by Rose of Sharyn.. they ARE the best modern heavy metal band in the world. The previous lead singer Howard has amazing range, and cemented the bands legendary sound, although Jessie here (the bands founding singer is amazing as well)
The scene of older brother holding younger brother is the only reason i haven't taken myself out. We're twins, non-identical although we sometimes look it. Guilt keeps me here.
If you haven't, check out the song Wishing Wells by Parkway Drive. The singer wrote the song during a deep depression after the passing of some people very close to him.
This is with Jesse he is the original singer back now... You need to hear Howard Jones the most epic Vocalists Ever!!! End of Heartache Live!!! ❤🌹❤🌹❤🌹❤🌹🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘😁
Hi Queen Amanda. Just wanted to ask if you could listen to and post, hearing BOTH "VICE GRIP" & "GLITCH" by an Aussie Metal band called PARKWAY DRIVE? and tell me what you think. I like the line in vice grip - ONE LIFE, ONE SHOT, GIVE IT ALL YOU GOT!!!!! But anyway. P.S. With people and pets' deaths, You never get over it, you just get used to it!!!!
Hey Amanda, I’m new here and I’ve kinda been binge watching your reactions to the songs I’ve heard of for a couple days now. My depression story is a long one lol. I guess it starts from my mother being a drug addict all of my childhood and pawning me off on the men in her life to raise me while she ran around partying. Now I have no idea if you actually check these comments after a few days of having a video up but if you do I was wondering if you could react to a few of these songs. They’ve helped me tons through my depression. Monsters - Damien Soundtrack 2 My Life - Kid Cudi
@@MentalAmanda Thanks Amanda. I really appreciate how you dissect these songs about mental health. Music has always been the one thing that’s always been there. Eminem’s work has always been very personal to me, not unlike how Linkin Park is for you.
Amanda i would love to see your reaction on: Billy Talent - White Sparrows (the fan made music video from nikolas aurrilus) You will absolietly love this song Im usually into harder metal but this is my all time favourite song It would mean a lot for a depressed 19 yo❤
@@MentalAmanda lol no need for apologies!!! We are human and there for perfectly perfect in our imperfections 😁❤️ If possible, could you react to Alive by P.O.D?!!! It’s possibly the most positive and uplifting song I have ever heard!!! It literally saved my life while my mom was fighting to beat cancer which she ultimately lost. It kept me going when my demons where at their most fierce
I Love killswitch musically but wanted to ask if between a divorce and depression that ended a job for almost a year and a half till now that still feels like it weighs down on me and makes me feel like less of a human being, is there any advice out there in dealing with the real world. I put myself out there but feel half cocked in any way from interviews to talking to people and trying to open up to people close to me. I have been depressed in the past but not to my determent on my confidence but I feel like that tank has ran out and I dont know how to refill it.
As someone who got divorced last year and has been through one heck of a roller coaster since, the best advice I have is to take time to reconnect to yourself. You're going in half-cocked because your self-esteem and self-worth has been compromised. Work on building that back up, connecting with the things YOU care about or enjoy. Fill your own bucket and then share your overflow with others instead of depleting it and looking for others to fill it 💖
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE react to the songs "The End of Me" and "Behind Blue Eyes/Dragonfly" by a band called Shaman's Harvest. The End of Me was written for a band members brother who unfortunately committed suicide and Behind Blue Eyes/Dragonfly is a super meaningful and emotional song as well. Please be the one person who actually will react to a suggestion I have
Did I and just not realize it was the same band?!?!? EDIT: I had to go back and look. I made a post over in my community acknowleding this. I didn't even realize!

You should do a reaction of Arlington by trace Adkins and the Rock version of Mr red white and blue
Amanda if you want a great mental health segment for your live feed maybe do one on the Holocaust and Auschwitz 😬 ?
new hair cut makes you look cuter!!!
IMHO, this is Killswitch Engage best song. Very powerful and emotional... the acoustic version they recorded is even more heartfelt
This is absolutely my favorite band. They got me through so much trauma and got me back to where I could function and start my way back up.
Remember to give yourself credit as well. The band did not carry you through the dark times, they are the band that you chose to walk with you through those times and keep you company. Without them it would have been very difficult, but without you it would have been impossible.
"I am Broken Too" is also a great look into mental health also. They've practically written the soundtrack of my life.

KSE has brought me out of some dark times. Them and August Burns Red. Through the loss of my parents. They have such beautiful lyrics. I always enjoy their spiritual approach to loss.
That one hit hard. For me, part of it is never having had a sibling. Not knowing that feeling of connection.
Now you have a sister! A crazy Dexter obsessed sister who drags you on an RV in the middle of Albuquerque, but hey, begger's can't be choosers!

I Love killswitch musically but wanted to ask if between a divorce and depression that ended a job for almost a year and a half till now that still feels like it weighs down on me and makes me feel like less of a human being, is there any advice out there in dealing with the real world. I put myself out there but feel half cocked in any way from interviews to talking to people and trying to open up to people close to me. I have been depressed in the past but not to my determent on my confidence but I feel like that tank has ran out and I dont know how to refill it.
As someone who got divorced last year and has been through one heck of a roller coaster since, the best advice I have is to take time to reconnect to yourself. You're going in half-cocked because your self-esteem and self-worth has been compromised. Work on building that back up, connecting with the things YOU care about or enjoy. Fill your own bucket and then share your overflow with others instead of depleting it and looking for others to fill it 💖
Gym helps. Stay strong mate. Hope you pull through.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE react to the songs "The End of Me" and "Behind Blue Eyes/Dragonfly" by a band called Shaman's Harvest. The End of Me was written for a band members brother who unfortunately committed suicide and Behind Blue Eyes/Dragonfly is a super meaningful and emotional song as well. Please be the one person who actually will react to a suggestion I have
