- Опубликовано: 21 авг 2024
- Therapist, Taylor Palmby, and metal vocal coach, Melissa Cross, analyze the lyrics of Sound of Silence. They analyze the lyrics written by Simon & Garfunkel as they watch the version created by Disturbed. David Draiman, the singer of Disturbed, is a student of Melissa's. During the conversation, they discuss how struggling with mental health can make someone feel like they are in a bubble of silence and isolation. The song is an encouragement to use music to break the sound of silence and reach out for connection.

Im a disabled marine corps vet that struggles with mental health issues, music is one of the things helps me . Ive had 5 shoulder surgeries in the last 6 years . Its lead to extreme isolation and worsening depression. Thank you for your videos its really helping in this dark patch .
@dennisbarker Thank you for your service. I am sorry that you have dealt with so many physical and mental issues.
I am a fellow Veteran who served in the Army who also struggles with physical and mental health struggles.
David has talked about his struggles with depression.
Have you been to a Disturbed concert? A great concert where he emphasized we are not alone with our struggles from depression and addiction.
Music is so therapeutic.

I suggest listening to slipknot and metallica as they use lyrics that u might be able to relate to and thank you for your service
I did not serve my country as you did, and I must tell you thank you, and that you are with others who give a damn. I've been physically isolated for 3 years and I am so not in introvert. Haven't been in a park in ages. Last time I was I was "army crawling" knees and elbows into a cave in northern Iowa call "Hernando's hideaway".... left my cane outside and had to hold my camera behind my head to get a decent shot of being in the dark and looking out to the green and sunshine. Peace Brother. Music is so fantastic. I clean listening to Rammstein. I cook listening to R&B. I focus listening to classical because i don't get caught up in lyrics. Peace, man. Some of the best men in my life served on steel ships, ran into danger for my freedom, and spent years with the weight of the cost that it takes to be free.

I read a comment at some point about this cover that I think just nails both songs;
The Simon & Garfunkel song is begging people to hear each other, talk to each other, and a warning of what will happen if we don't learn how to listen to each other
The Disturbed song is the anger of people who haven't been heard, haven't been listened to and are tired of being ignored and hurt
To me, this song has always been a statement/warning about the lack of communication/empathy in a complex industrialized materialistic society with a herd mentality. It never felt like it was a song about my personal struggles, other than the struggle to thrive in such an environment.
I think that is how Melissa saw it in the 60s, however it takes on a new entendre in 2024 as the meaning you speak of is de rigeuer old news and nobody cares The Sound of Silence disregards mental health in favor of the fittest.
..
Totally agree I am confident Simon and Garfunkel intended it as what you described and it’s not about mental health.
It is so good to see someone else sees the waring in this song. I had to learn it for chorus in the 5th or 6th grade in the mid 70s. I always felt like it was an angry, distopic song. In today's society so many people suffer with loneliness yet we literally have the world at our fingertips. I see 10,000 people , maybe more... everyone talking yet no communication and no connection. It's really sad
I've always thought the original was the warning but Disturb's version is a condemnation.
@@latonyajefferson9699 I get where you're coming from, but I think both served both purposes, if we were/are listening. We don't have forever to fix this!
"The Devil Horns" were what Ronnie James Dio grew up with, it was an old Italian sign to ward off evil
Or give someone bad luck.
4 days ago,...... I had a bottle of pills in my hand and a bottle of whiskey....and I put on sound of silence and just cried......like never before....needless to say it saved me I'm still here...getting help....thank God for metal music...and disturbed thank u!
Is it bad that I kinda like this better than the original? Draiman is incredible with the range he has.
The amount of RAW power the man has on tap.....
I kind of think so too. Both are masterpieces, but I just love how big and theatrical Disturbed’s version is. But I also love the harmonies and guitar riff of Simon and Garfunkel. So it’s almost even
1. Pentatonix cover is better than this one. 2. Wrong.
I grew up with Simon and Garfunkel on the radio and this song has been and still is one that means a lot to me and when I heard this version, I learnt a new and different perspective. The singer made the song his own.
In the beginning, the guy is singing very softly, with a bit of hesitation and fear, then, for whatever reason, everything changes. He sees through his darkness and sees ten thousand people who are also suffering in different, yet similar ways, and he lets his voice just ring out as he realizes the importance of commuication and community, joy even lends his voice more strength. He realizes, maybe for the first time, there is hope and a higher purpose in life, and his attitude about his lonely, miserable life and suffering changes from one of weaknesses to one where he can change these into strengths and use these strengths to help others.
It's like Ren says, "...there were no real losers in physiological warfare, but there were victims and there were students."
We can either be a victim and wallow in our victimhood, or we can learn from our failures, errors, and weaknesses, and use them as stepping stones to become better. Joy comes from looking without and helping others for the sake of just helping them.
Life is a bit like a spoon. If we look in the spoon where it forms a little bowl, all we can see is ourselves, we are too focused upon ourselves; we are turned in. Thats kind of like what Timothy O'Leary said, "Turn on, tune in, drop out."
But by flipping the spoon over and looking at the convex part now, yes we stll see ourselves, but we also see what is happening around us. Now we are "turned out."
Oh i really loved that part when Melissa Cross was talking about the mechanism of understanding and receiving love.
I had that exact discussion with my Mother, trying to explain to her that i do not feel "Love" as explained by others.
I don't have that within me.
Like i understand that people just want what is good for me and want me to be well, but i don't Feel it, the Love, it is completely foreign to me.
I too am living with chronic depression of the very severe grade for 45 years now and i know it will never go away.
All we can do is dance with it and just pay attention to when we are about to hit a very dark place and try embrace it and push through it.
No medication works on me so far, because this type of depression is not treatable, it is not something external that make me go to that dark place, it comes from nowhere and just blindsides me.
Happiness?`
What even is that?
My Psychologist and Therapist once asked me:
"Have you ever felt happy"?
And i just replied to them: "No, not really, i have felt spontaneous laughter, regarding jokes n movies n such, but the feeling of "Happy" as it is generally depicted is not something i have any experience with or am familiar with.
My second video of yours and you’ve already covered 2 of my favorites. Now I just need to see you do Jinjer - Pisces, Johnny Cash - Hurt and REN’s The Tale of Jenny and Screech!!!
PLEASE DO THE CONAN O'BRIEN LIVE PERFORMANCE. ❤ it will change your life. My new favorite reactor love from Ottawa ❤️🇨🇦
I, too, suffer from depression, i heard for the first time the cover of this song on tik tok, but a remix version of it. I know for some it doesn't sound the same, but the beat in it hits different. Now it's one of my favorite songs. In case if anyone is wondering the remix is by Cyril.
My 5th grade teacher used this song as the song of the week and we listened to it everyday after lunch
Melissa, I have heard David speak of you often and very fondly. He always gives you props for teaching him so many things. This song actually lets the listener "hear" David's voice in all it's control and beauty... as most of Disturbed's songs are so heavy that at times it's difficult to hear what he can really do with his voice... although I must admit... I just love their heavy songs too! Thanks you guys.
David's interpretation of Simon & Garfunkel's warning of an increasingly de-sensitized society (over 50 yrs. ago and even worse in 2024) is moving, emotional and carries an impact..................
In his younger years, Draiman was classically trained as a cantor, who is someone that sings liturgical music and leads prayer in a synagogue. But after being expelled from three different yeshivas and blowing up his high school rabbi's van, Draiman wasn't cut out for the seminary.
Lead singer , David Draiman, is quite open about his struggles with mental health, especially depression. There are several interviews available on RUclips and he has said that he wrote Reason to Fight (about addiction) following the suicide of his girlfriend.
Love this song so much
you need to bring melissa more on your videos i love the dynamics between you 2.
You should listen to the song Reason to fight by disturbed
I never thought of this song was about depression, but it makes sense cause of how I have been feeling lately. I see people smiling and laughing in public, but when I smile it is a facade cause of my pain.
From lu2910: @txmale1977 I understand how hard it can be to see people seemingly so carefree and happy when all you can feel is depression. Comparison is the thief of joy. When I've had days where my depression feels like it has a hold on me, I often will mask it by smiling and laughing, yet it doesn't change the fact that I'm still struggling internally. Although our minds often tell us "those people are so much happier and less depressed than you", we never know truly know what someone is going through behind closed doors.
The reality is that our society has heavily normalized not talking about or expressing our inner struggles, yet I have found that to be the greatest help when dealing with my depression. If someone doesn't know how miserable you're feeling because you mask it, they won't know what to say to you or how to help you. As scary as it may be, opening up to those around us helps us not bear the weight by ourselves and is very often well-received. I am praying for you and
I'm here for you my friend, I promise you that it does get better <3
From Riverbats: @txmale1977 Oh boy that must be exhausting. It's so much work to pretend constantly and to look around and wonder how everyone can be so happy when you have to put on a show for them. I know I've been there. I think a lot of us have. I know a lot of times I find myself feeling genuinely happy and then there's the part of me that says I don't deserve that and tries to keep me from being too positive so that when the inevitable bad thing comes, I'll be crouched and ready. But then I look back and realize I spent so much time being ready for the bad things that I missed out on the truly good things. I'm not saying that is what's going on for you. I can't know for sure. I also know sometimes bad things just happen no matter how prepared I am. It's tough. I'm here to listen though. We all are here at HeartSupport. Thanks for sharing!
I get chills every time I hear this song
You should do a reaction to five finger death punches wrong side of heaven.
@johnwilson2414 I totally agree! @HartSupport Please check out this video. I am a Veteran, not a combat veteran as in the video but this resonates with me and the struggles our veterans face every day/hour. I can not even imagine what these folks had to go through and what they struggle with. @dennisbarker5986 and @mom67lovesu Thank you both for you services and would love to know if you have seen this and your thoughts.
I would love to help in any way possible!!! I have my own mental health struggles with ADHD and the comorbidities that come with it depression, anxiety, etc. and really enjoy your reactions. Any suggestions on songs/videos or methods to help cope are are greatly appreciated.
Love & Respect!!
James
This song always gives me chills especially when I he sings it
Thank you so much for the reaction to this video this channel has become my mental health help I’m sure there are many people like me that has no insurance and can’t afford to go to therapy or get help and we all cry out every day and nobody listens so thank you so much for this channel it really helps more than you know
Tool - wings for Marie pt2 would be great. Makes me emotional and think of my grandmother everytime but is about the lead singer losing his mother. Powerful song
As someone who has suffered MDD as long as they can recall (literally back to childhood)
This song is where I lived when I was low and unable to get myself out! This would let the mind stop but still let you feel the emotions
Not sure if you have heard Disturbed - A Reason to Fight but it’s amazing
I'm a long time survivor,I suppose is the best way to say it, of severe depression and anxiety. Like Melissa (omg legend!! fangirl squeeee) being alone is always quiet and dark... honestly much of what she says through her commenting absolutely chimes in me. -- Now besides this, music is my escape, when the litany in my head gets to be too much the headphones go on and I run away to my 'friends' Disturbed, Linkin Park, Ren and a host of others, and they drown out the voices until I can get back on top of it. I can honestly say that without music I'm not at all sure if I'd still be here. - ok done with my wall of text. Take care, and remember we aren't alone. Love and hugs to all who want or need them.
I´m a European so I never really bothered with lyrics to fully understand the meaning of the song. I just loved the music. The melody, the tempo, all of it but now it hitted. This means a lot to me. Thank You for doing what You do.
I think you would love “The Remedy” by Puscifer. It’s the same singer as TOOL so the lyrical content is deep and thoughtful. Beautiful song, highly recommend!
I love that you talked about how being around other people can be lonely. It reminds me of one of my favorite songs, Save Yourself by Stabbing Westward. The line is "and if I must be lonely, I think I'd rather be alone." It would be awesome if you did a reaction to that song!
David Draiman and Disturbed's purpose is fighting depression and addiction, (when he was a teenager his girlfriend, the love of his life committed suicide), he addresses it during every performance. He shared that he actually considered ending his own life last October. He didn't say why, and I can't assume, but I wouldn't be surprised that because he's Jewish it might have had something to do with the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7th.
I believe he also has formed a non-profit for the Palestinians.
He's all about freedom.
He's one of the most heartfelt human beings in the world.❤ 🙏

OMG, the tissues I've 🤧 gone through since I discovered David Draiman and Disturbed performing their rendition of "The Sound of Silence" on April 29, 2024. That day I have to believe my spirit 🙏 guides (out of the blue) first led me to a cover video by Dan Vasc singing "Amazing Grace" which was phenomenal 👏 and then to the cover video of Disturbed and David Draiman singing this most POWERFUL, EMOTIONAL 😂rendition of Simon and Garfunkels "The Sound of Silence". I'm 75 and was 15 when they released one of the most popular classic songs of our time during the 60's. It is amazing how relevant it is today, actually I feel it is even more relevant than ever in so many different ways. ISOLATION, DIVISION, Aryan Christian Nationalist! I've spent days since listening and seeing, you'll notice I didn't say viewing, the many channel hosts and each of their reactions and have 😢 almost every time. It's funny that more males have gotten teary-eyed than females, just an observation.
I also suffer from depression but there's always hope.
Thanks from Diane
I like you in this life, Taylor. I really do. Thank you, for being who you are, and for being in this human experience. You are very, very acceptable. I am proud of you.
You should hear Geoff Castellucci's version of this! Hes an amazing low bass singer but with a crazy range and does some awesome arrangements. He also does all vocals in his songs harmonies and everything. Best version of this song Ive ever heard!
Thank you for providing this service 🙏
This band will give you plenty of mental health to talk about
love this song. Usually if I get busy with something I turn this on in the background along with Johnny Cash's cover of Hurt.
Your exactly right In what you just said.. people give up on you .. but I've never done that to them.. excuse my language but it's fucked up.. and now days everyone needs self assurance I just a lil respect I'm an 80's baby we were raised differently for sure.. wel most of us.. I have ADHD pretty bad and I can get annoying but I tell people let me know I can't work on it if I don't know.. facial expressions mean everything you can't fake that.. you can try but you cant
for me this is a daming indictment of societies lack of affirmative action, when there should be a moral imperative for personal and collective action
Simon and Garfunkel really liked this version
it goes straight to your soul.
You wanna talk about credibility, having the Godmother of metal on an episode is godlike.
She said it “Nobody cares” the only people that “care” get something from you whether it be paychecks or self involvement someone always gets something from someone else’s silence.
Disturbed has so Many important Messages to say and you REALLY need to do "Inside the Fire" Official Video if you can, one that needs to be discussed
I’m crying
I really hope you analyze Pushit (the Salival version) from Tool. Great song about toxic relationships.
I struggled (and still do) with depresion for over 10 years. All my 20's. Should be the best time of my life, but it was worst. I was even afraid of asking for help, falling into darker and darker place every day, always down, never up. Burned every and all bridges, close myself down for everyone and everything. Funny thing is - I hated it, I hated it so much, but could do any diffrent. In a way, the only thing I hated more than beeing lonely was myself. Didn't think about myself as someone worth having firends and beeing happy. The only thing that kept my afloat, kept me literally alive, was music. The only thing I felt undestand me. These artists, people who I never met and will never met felt closer to me, than even my own family. And one of those bands was Disturbed. This song is so personal. David, Dan, Mike, John - thank you. If it wasn't for you and other artists I might not have opportunity to write this, honestly.
From toastaintbad: @Idaho86 Hi @HeartSupport_Fans,
Music is a healthy coping mechanism whenever you feel depress. I can totally relate to your post with depression. Depression was the hardest battle of my life due to a mental disorder. If you feel depress, I would recommend to see a therapist if you want to. There is no pressure and I don't force others to go to therapy.
I'm super proud of you sharing your struggles. It must have been hard for you to face a long time. A lot of people say 20's is a rough period for adulthood. You are trying to be independent adult. Age is just a number and it doesn't prevent to stop doing what you enjoy. I don't think you are a horrible person. I feel like you have low-self esteem and that's why you are depress. You sound like a wonderful person to be friends with. Just remind yourself to be positive even if life is rough.
From DyllonKG: @Idaho86 Depression can feel so overwhelming. The isolation, the loneliness. I definitely get the feeling of the right song coming on and helping to let some of those emotions out. www.loom.com/share/4af4995d4f6c4d1e8b9d3791e6d69da4?sid=f7af45be-3819-4c60-b9b1-07191bc98bc6
I think the MESSAGE of this song, dating back to Simon & Garfunkel's original in the late 1960's & redelivered here with such STRENGTH, is that SOCIETY is the one with the mental health struggles, NOT the singers of the song, who SEE the SOUNDS OF SILENCE all around them -- the masses "Bowing Down to the NEON GOD they MADE"
Another good one by them is The Light. Definitely do the official video.
Check out Shinedown: Call Me. Maybe Simple Man, too. You wont be disappointed
What an epic cover
You need to do Hold on to memories from Disturbed as well
Such a moving song.
i am the reverse. i feel more at ease and happy alone. it is when someone tries to get me to talk about myself or my thoughts on something. i see it this way,, someone talks to me i am thinking "what are they wanting?" "how will they use this against me?"
i know i have major trust issues and i do not make friends. i know what caused those things. one being in the hospital and being operated on for most of my childhood. second is also being a marine brat and moving every couple years so never had time to set down roots.
From ThriceTheThird: @GeneBateman1970 Hello. I think that it is perfectly fine to feel at easy and happy alone. There is absolutely nothing wrong with finding content-ness in your own personal time. I don't think that you owe to anyone to discuss any topics with them that you don't feel comfortable discussing as well. That you are perfectly valid in feeling you have the right to keep whatever thoughts/feelings you want to yourself. However, if you are feeling like you wish you could be more outward with your thoughts/feelings. If you are feeling bad alone, and wish you were not alone. I think these would be the instances where you might need to work on some form of self-growth in order to gradually lead yourself into doing/having the things you are missing in life. But if you are not missing anything, and are content with the way things are. Then I would say just be confident in that. It's okay to be who you are. You're enough being you, and shouldn't feel you need to change for anyone. Are the trust issues, and lack of friends something you wish to see change? I believe in your ability to grow in these categories if you wish to see them change. It might not be easy, and could take some time but you can totally do it. If you want/need to share more with us ever, please feel free to do so. Thanks for sharing with us what you have so far. Hope you're having a decent day today.<3
From Micro: @GeneBateman1970 Gosh - I resonate with what you've described, so very deeply. This question that you ask yourself when people do reach out to you and ask you what you think about something. It feels like suddenly all the eyes are on you, therefore there is potential to be hurt. You are made visible, you are seen, not in a place where you could be left on your own with no risk of being hurt by someone. Interactions in themselves can feel really intimidating, and for some of us it pushes us to be weary of it. Seeing someone interested by us, by what we think or how we feel, instantly feels like a threat, an anomaly, or at the very least something highly suspicious. You start wondering what the person really want and if they don't have any secret agenda behind their question or interaction.
As you've said, it usually stems from trust issues and being wounded in the past by the adversity you've encountered. Being at the hospital repeatedly must have felt like you couldn't have a time for you and enjoy life finally. Somehow, even if it was to help you, the fact there was always people around you and operating you must have felt like others are constantly invading your privacy. If there was someone with you, it meant that something was wrong, unlike when you could finally breathe and rest at the end of the day, on your own.
There is something unpredictable with relationships, something that requires us to take risks with a leap of faith. It makes sense to feel safer and more comfortable in solitude. And if it is what makes you happy, then that's absolutely okay. We all have various ways to be connected with the world around us. Some feel the need to be constantly interacting with others, while others need alone time to feel whole again. Either way is absolutely fine, and this diversity is what makes this world beautiful. :heart:
Everywhere I've turned to for help has done nothing. Im literally one of those who " slipped through the cracks of the system. ".
Same! Been to so many different psychologist, none has helped, I went to my 4th doctor and asked for help, went to a nurse first, that said I needed more help than she could give me, so made an appointment with a doctor, that said to me, that there was nothing they could do, and if I felt worse, I should go to an psychology emergency, and admit myself🤷🏻♀️🤪 I'm so happy I found a body therapist, that helps me a lot with my under expressed emotions, and ofcourse music! Especially this song❤ don't know were ill be without. Hope you get the help you need, and someone to talk to❤
From Micro: @saintdlee That is such a frustrating place to be in. I'm sorry you've been experiencing this, friend. Reciving support should be something easy somehow, as the last thing you want to have to do while you are struggling is to have to fight and advocate for yourself over and over. On top of it, repeated disappointment like this can make you feel like something would be wrong with you or that there's no help out there for you - which isn't true, but it can certainly feed the negative voices inside that use every hurt and disappointment against ourselves.
I imagine that this situation is exhausting and frustrating for you. Having to try over and over, explain your story and needs, then to realize that what is offer to you is just not what you expected or what you need in the present moment. Personally, I'veexperienced this a little bit with finding the right therapist at first, then with physical medecine in general. With chronic illnesses, it becomes a recurring experience but to meet doctors who just don't know how to help, don't know how to diagnose, and even sometimes end up saying "it's the stress". Yikes - way to help, doc', I'll definitely feel better as soon as I walk out of your office.
It's hard to feel like people expectd to help and understand you the most because they are professionals/experts in their field, just don't know how to help. It makes you feel like you're some kind of oddity and you shouldn't even except to be supported. It's hurtful to ask for help but to end up feeling like you were not heard and not understood. You're already sharing your most vulnerable sides to strangers, which takes an effing ton of energy to muster, so the disappointment hits greater when it feels like it led to nothing.
If anything, *you* are doing what is needed and what is right by the very fact that you are trying. With therapists/psychology especially, it can be challenging to find the right person and approach for you at first. To me personally, it has taken a year or so before finding a good match, then she left to another place and I'm again in the process of trying > matching fails > trying again. Even though it hurts and is disappointing, this process helps in identifying what YOU need and what you don't want from a therapist either. Eech "fail" is not really one as it helps you also refine your understanding of your needs and what you expect from therapy. Somehow, the offers are so diverse that it's an entire world to explore in itself. I do hope that you will find a good match for you soon. You absolutely deserve to feel supported and that it is something acquired - not something to fight for anymore.
I’ve loved disturbed for so long and the original tune. Never been a fan of covers but this I always thought was incredible. It’s actually reconfirmed me alone and darkness. Didn’t help me just something to relate to for extreme MH problems. Hopeless
You need to listen to Already Gone by Disturbed. Really emotional ballad by them.
Guy from Denmark here who is looking into becoming a therapist in the future
Love your videos, they way you read into the lyrics of the songs is just amazing, and really helped med see the deeper meaning in the songs, because usually I just feel them and don't think too much from it.
If you need anymore suggestions for songs, Avenged Sevenfold have made some really good ones, my favorites being "Danger Line" "Buried Alive" and "Natural Born Killer". Also some Slipknot songs that are also really good imo are "Disasterpiece" and "Eyeless".
Sabaton too is a good power metal band for working out alot of energy personal favorites being "Uprising" "Night Wishes" and "Ghost Division".
Don't know if you read this but if you did, thank you, have a nice day
@heartsupport
Love this song
Not sure if it is in your wheelhouse but another great cover in a similar vein is Help by John Farnham, a cover of the Beatles song that he completely makes his own. Much like Paul Simon loves the Disturbed version of Sound of Silence, or Trent Reznor loves Johnny Cash's version of Hurt (another brilliant one if you've not covered it), John Lennon loved John Farnham's version of Help, sung as a ballad as he had always intended. The best version of the performance is from 1989 with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra...
Watch the Live "Conan" version of this.. it's amazing
You ought to listen to “Down with the Sickness” warning though as there are themes of child abuse
The live version is more powerful. This is great song just seems completely different than the original but the same words. The arrangement makes all difference.
I love watching these when its someone who is a professional with mental health it really made me think of the lyrics of song more and i love it and btw you should listen to all hope is gone (the song not full album) by slipknot
Should react to “unstoppable” and “the light” by disturbed. Maybe even “inside the fire”
Simon and Garfunkel originally wrote this back in 1964.
If you are interested in going back to the roots of what you hear today, I would highly recommend go down both the Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath rabbit hole. Everything is that is talked about today. They were pretty much the originators. I also would like to point out that those two bands have helped me through a lot in my lifetime one last thing you there is a difference between icons legends and metal Gods those two bands in my book are considered metal gods along with Judas Priest that being said, I highly recommend going down those two rabbit holes.
CAN YOU PLEASE DO CEMETARY GATES
You need to do Hold On to the Memories by Disturbed
Please react to falling is reverses reimagining of papa roachs song last resort pleaseeee you’ll love it @heartsupport
Don’t tell me by Disturbed feature Ann Wilson next please!
i can give you tons of suggestions for songs to analyze that mean a lot to me in one way shape or form because of my depression. Dead Inside by Mudvayne, Another Breath by Ingested, Blessed Be by Spiritbox, Her Fragile Limbs by Il Vuoto, Boat Paddle by iwrestledabearonce, Hickory Creek by Whitechapel to name a few. i have a playlist full of these songs and more that i listen to when im feeling at my worst
Have to checkout the Live Conan show of this if you haven’t. Pretty amazing.
Please react to the artist REN. song is ' Hi Ren'. If you are serious about mental health this song is a must.
this song is one of the ones that help me deal with pain points in my life. My father was a fan of the original performer of the song (Simon & Garfunkel). They have many other songs that find their way straight into the heart.
I also want to add a couple of other songs to this, which are kind of power songs for me. First of all, I'm attaching a Finnish band called Apulanta and for their song "Lost in to machine" I chose a video with English lyrics ruclips.net/video/dJZdI1pdjIE/видео.htmlsi=U8O2gNYTgp_Z0uo9
Second, I chose The Rasmus' song "Elefantin weigh" as a re-version. The original performer is the Finnish artist Ellinoora and her song is beautiful to listen to. but here is the elephant's weight - ruclips.net/video/8a8Gd1ADJNE/видео.htmlsi=gjyLLjl-Jm-APO3O
I recommend 1916 Sabaton Cover.
simon and garfunkles version was the warning.
distubed is the anger at nothing being done.
It looks like you have not yet discovered Jinjer. They are a progressive metal band from Ukraine. Their lead singer Tatiana writes all their lyrics, and most of her songs have a focus on mental health.
Most reactors start with Pisces., but any of their popular songs, could be a good focus for your channel.
Not requesting a reaction. If you have already, never mind, but I'm asking that you check out Tom MacDonald - Don't Look Down, Fighter, Stronger Version, and/or Best Rapper Ever. If you like, Welcome, if not, Thank You for checking him out. Happy Wednesday (I also think you'll like, Dax, To Be a Man )
Great react you guys!! I'm wondering whether you have heard the original by Simon & Garfunkel?? I've heard So. Many. Reactors make comparisons between the 2 versions.
Just about enything from In This Moment is something dealing with mental health in some way. But, you should take a listen to "Big Bad Wolf," "Fighter," and "Whore." "Whore" should DEFINTIELY not be first, not until you understand more about what Maria Brink's songs are all about. "Big Bad Wolf" is a great starting place. "Fighter" is also a great starting place.
Silence , like a cancer, grows .
When are we gonna have a discussion on what that song means and how we keep falling short and condemning future generations to a society that has no rights only rules .
PLEASE LISTEN TO "PANIC ROOM" BY SILENT PLANET!! IT IS A BEAUTIFULLY WRITTEN METAL SONG WITH LYRICS MADE TO BE POETIC AND SOMEWHAT OBSCURE!! IT IS ABOUT MILITARY PTSD AND THE VIDEO AND AURA OF THE SONG IS GOOSEBUMP INDUCING WHEN YOU FOLLOW THE LYRICS WITH THE MUSIC!!!
Hey, love the channel. I’ve seen some great stuff in here. If I may, I’d love to see a reaction to Blre October (Fear, Hate Me, I hope you’re happy…). I know there’s a bazillion reactions to those songs, but I really appreciate the therapeutical insight you bring to the music you react to, and I’d love to see your reaction to Blue October.
Sorry, Blue October, darn my clumsy thumbs
check out Rammstein german metal band ( with subtitles on)
You should check this live version from The Conan Show…
I'm opposite the older I get the worse things get are harder to deal with.. guess maybe I'm just tired of putting up the barrier.. I've had tremendous loss in my life and just wanna live for once
From Micro: @markoleary3999 It makes sense to feel that way, friend, especially in light of the loss that you've experienced in your life. For some of us it feels like as we get older, the more the weight of everything we've experienced keeps piling up. The barrier you've put up to protect yourself is more and more fragile, and it's hard to see it becoming so thin over time. It's understandable to just feel tired of always having to be strong and keep things together. Each loss, each hardship, adds to the load, and it can feel like you're never getting a break. When you say you're tired of putting up the barrier, it makes me think of how draining it is to constantly guard yourself against more pain and disappointment. It's like you've been in survival mode for so long, and now you're just hoping for a moment to truly live, to feel free from the constant pressure and pain that life has pushed you through.
Wanting to live for once, without the heavy burden of past losses and current struggles, is something you absolutely deserve to experience. Just feeling peace, finally, and a chance to experience life without the constant waves of sadness and exhaustion. It's not just about surviving anymore; it's about wanting to truly live, to have moments of joy and peace without the constant dread of what might come next.
Feeling tired of the barrier means you’re yearning for authenticity, for a life where you don't have to hide behind defenses all the time. It's about wanting to be yourself without fear, to feel emotions without being overwhelmed by them, to connect with others without the fear of loss hanging over you. You’ve been through so much, and it’s completely understandable to want to step out from under that weight and find some light. I hope so much for you to have the possibility to feel that peace within. Keep standing up for yourself, friend. Keep pushing through. Keep reaching out and being open about about the way you feel. Keep building on the support system you might need. This journey that is called life can be a beautiful adventure yet sometimes feels like a curse. You don't have to go through it on your own, especially during times when it's becoming even more difficult. :heart:
I am just checking out everything here
Some of us are really wrapped up in our troubles 😢....me included
This is so me.
Melissa youre a Volbeat fan :D Yeehaaa
Such a groovy band!
Melissa, what is David really like? How long have you been working together?
I'm curious what you would have to say about the song Life Waster from Corpse
❤❤🎶🎵❤❤
Please do the noose by a perfect circle
Recommending you two react to The Poet&The Pendulum by Nightwish (live cut from Wembley 2015). The backstory for the song and the lyrics are perfect for this channel.
It’s hard to be heard, especially when everyone else relies on you to hold it together. I’m always there for other people but when I need it, the sound of silence is palpable. Makes ya feel worth less…
From ThriceTheThird: @CapeCodMagnetCrew This definitely is a hard thing to experience, and thank you for sharing what you are going through with us. Please feel free to share more, in more detail if you ever want/need. Be sure to also try to be there for yourself, in the same way you try to be for others. <3
From DyllonKG: @CapeCodMagnetCrew Hey there my friend. My gosh does this hit close to home. Sometimes, supporting and asking for support can feel complicated. We're here for you.

another perspective... It takes 15 minutes, in a 0 decibel environment, for a human to start going insane/crazy. ...disturbing silence, with silence
could you do "salt" and/or "chemical" by The Devil Wears Prada?
