Apparently the makeup on her mouth/face is the actual sound frequency of a woman's scream. You also need to research the video because every single scene has an important correlation with the true story of Ramirez. None of it was overdone for the sake of mere theatrics. It's quite chilling actually. 🤘
Him. Ok. That’s interesting. Of all the infamous serial killers, I know the least about Richard Ramirez. I know a lot about John Wayne Gacy, I think we’ll try that one next. Thanks for the insight. ✌️
As a massive SKYND fan I understand what you mean about this one not connecting. Some of her other songs get you crying thinking about the tragedy, while this one is sad it's not as emotionally grabbing.
@@secondhandreactions Hm, I would personally say "Jim Jones" gets me the most choked up, but it won't have that same effect on everyone if you don't know the story behind it. Every one of their songs hits a lot harder when you know what they're talking about. If you have time I highly recommend you watch the documentary on Jim Jones and his cult before reacting to the music video. Jim Jones was that guy who killed over 900 people in his cult that he moved to South America by making them "drink the kool-aid", I assume you've heard of that before in passing at least. The sad thing is most of the people didn't want to do it and were forced to when they killed a government official from the US who came to check up on the people, and they all secretly begged to leave. Though in the end they never got to. However, I can understand that might be a lot of effort for a single reaction video (In my opinion it's worth the time) but if you don't want to spend an hour watching a documentary, I think Michelle Carter as it's pretty straight forward and doesn't require as much research. All you need to know really is Michelle taunted her then boyfriend over text telling him to kill himself and he ended up doing it. It was a very big case a few years back about how liable you can be for texting someone negative things. Also the lyrics of the song are directly pulled from the text messages she sent him. Chris Watts is also a very touching song by them, especially if you have children. Its about a case where a father killed his pregnant wife and 2 children to leave with his mistress. The song is pretty self contained and doesn't require as much research if any to understand. All of their songs are best listened to thinking about the victims and what they must have felt during these events. They aren't making the music to glorify the events, rather keep discussion about them going and give a more emotional insight into the events. She also gets permission from those involved with the event to be able to do the song on it and post it. Sorry for the wall of text! Can't wait to see y'all check out more of their stuff! Just keep in mind it's very helpful if you do a little research about the cases before listening.
@@RandomFishtankClips thanks for this! I appreciate the info. I’m aware of Jim Jones. I think I’ve watched this documentary. I went through a spot where I watched as much as I could about him. That sounds like a good song to check out next. 🥤✌️
@@secondhandreactions That's awesome! No problem. Jim Jones is one of if not my favorite song by them. I had the same thing where I got super invested in the case and looked up as much as I could. It was actually the first song I heard from them and after seeing the documentaries I fell in love with SKYNDs music. I can't wait to see what y'all think!
Their sound varies in each composition. You can tell it is Skynd, but it is different. I enjoy "Edmund Kemper" for the same reason I really enjoy "Richard Ramirez" - she knows how to belt it out and her voice is not processed. I have heard Skynd videos described as "Vogue model videos from the " Dark Web"". LOL They never glorify the guilty - their intent is to tell a story and disturb. When asked, Skynd (the vocalist) said that they always expect pushback because people don't like to be reminded that real monsters exist. Their video for "Columbine" leaves most people speechless. One last comment from a huge fan - she writes songs about the cases that "she can see, hear, and feel" the music and flow for in her head. Each song is created in conjunction with the video as a multimedia presentation of a story. Each one is also filled with facts and details that those who are not familiar with the cases may miss. "Hell, I'll see you in Disneyland" is a direct quote from Ramirez when he was asked about how he felt about prison time.
@@neighborsuePS - It is also helpful to read about the subject of their songs... You can pick out details that are either in the lyrics or video itself.
@@ThePentagenarian we typically do not do any research as we do most if not all are reactions blind, sometimes not knowing what we’re about to listen to and why it was written. I do feel you do need to know a little bit of history about these monsters, in order to connect with the lyrics of the song, and understand the true content and purpose of the lyrics. I will find out a little bit before each one, but will probably enjoy delving deeper after I hear the song. I really appreciate your in depth response. Are there any other topics this band sings about or is this there sole focus?
@@neighborsue From every interview that I have ever heard or seen, Skynd says that her and Father's (the other band member) goal is to make people remember and think about the monster that exist in the Dark Place. Their first release was "Elisa Lam" which was about the mysterious death of a young woman in Los Angeles that to this day still remains unsatisfactorily explained for most people. The only other one that is slightly different would be "Jim Jones" who was a mass murderer instead of a serial killer. Most of her fans would tend to agree with the comment "If it doesn't disturb you on some level, you don't get it." Their music is not meant to glorify, just educate and maybe get a few people to investigate further the evil that humans can perpetrate against one another. If you ever watch the Jim Jones video, look at her face at the end, there is a look of anguish. Apparently the shoot took several takes because she was having a hard time keeping it together. She has said that there are still times while she was performing when she sees people dancing and things to herself "Why are you dancing? You know what the song is about, right?"
Ummm the song is ABOUT the serial killer DUH. It's so hard to grasp? Shes not singing about herself but almost all the words in this song coke from Richard HIMSELF. Good grief.
My favorite intro
Ha!
Long live the Skyndicate
Fun fact her makeup is the sound wave of a scream

Thank you for this insight, I am curious now to look into Ramirez farther
Him. Ok. That’s interesting. Of all the infamous serial killers, I know the least about Richard Ramirez. I know a lot about John Wayne Gacy, I think we’ll try that one next. Thanks for the insight. ✌️
love how lady connected to song :)

I have to give this band more listens. What song do you think we should try next?

Kim Drac and Skynd have both collabed with Jonathan Davis 😀
Just found your Seventy Thorns Rxn 😜
Haha How dare I???!!!
I do see your perspective on the presentation, but dug her voice
Check out Jim Jones or Tyler Hadley. JWG is good, but those two are exceptional.
Oooooo so this is when I should definitely do some research on before I watch the songs!!!
