that breakdown at the end being so chaotic and noisy with the layered screams and the dissonant chords felt like I was listening to her mind slide into confusion and then trudge down in speed til it grinds to a halt. It hit me so hard as this song came out a week before my grandmother passed from dementia. The only record that better addresses it is Everywhere At The End of Time. Its more of an art piece than a record as its 6.5 hours of soundscapes meant to reproduce the mind of an elderly person going through the 6 stages of dementia while remembering the music of their youth. Even if you cut it down to 3 hours the back half of that ....experience....had me crying at 3am as it was the first time I had ever really been able to directly empathize with what my grandmother had suffered through.
This is actually their "heaviest" song, and it is so much "worse" with the full context. The song is a tribute to Courtney's grandmother, which died last summer and Courtney was unable to attend her funeral due to the locked borders. Her grandmother wished for her to sing on her funeral, so this song is sort of a way to cope with her grief. The title of the song is a tribute to the grandmother of the video producer of this song, and I'll paste a comment of his father that's under the official video. I'd like to see you check out Blessed Be, Rule of Nines and Holy Roller (their heaviest one) too. Preferably the official videos because they're really good (especially for Holy Roller), but they also have one take vocal performances of those songs which are worth watching too, in case you want to do some double features. Scott Hryciuk: "Constance is my mom. Today - December 4th is her birthday - she is 88. She is the nurse in the photo. She is in a long term care home and I have not seen her since early March of this year due to COVID-19. Unfortunately the press release is incorrect. Courtney’s grandmother died in 2020 and she wrote the beautiful lyrics to honor her grandmother. Dylan’s grandmother is still living and has been suffering from dementia for several years. Dylan created the video imagery to honor his grandmother and her struggles at this time in her life. Mom goes by Connie to those that know her. Today her proper name of Constance is more meaningful. Dylan from Versa Films is my son. I am thankful to Courtney and Spiritbox for having the courage to tackle a subject like this. Courtney: I am sorry for the loss of your grandmother. I am touched by the comments from everyone that has been through this. As the son, I know how it affects me - everyday seeing your mother not remember you. Counting the times she remembers your name. As parents we don't always see or realize the impact these circumstance and this disease has on the grandchildren. Dylan, Courtney and all the comments show that the pain runs deep within the families. For me it is tough to watch this video. It is harder to live with or to have lived with this in real life. Words cannot begin to describe. Thank you to everyone for their comments as hard as they were to publicly display. It's amazing Dylan. It's amazing Courtney. It's amazing Spiritbox. Constance is proud. I am proud."
Wow Sabina this is really heartbreaking. Alzheimer's is a terrible thing to experience up close. I have been a volunteer for 8 years on a daytime activity for people with dementia / Alzheimer's so I know how bad it can be for their loved ones. Thank you for your comment on this wonderful song .
My grandmother had Alzheimer and this song bring tears to my eyes every time. As others have mentioned here - It is their least "heavy" song, and yet the HEAVIEST of them all.
Being sensitive with a big heart like us dear Sabina is a gift in this more and more inhuman becoming world. But this gift is often difficult to carry and so I wished (again) to be able to hug you right now. Take care dear Sabina
This song tied in with the video kills me. I lost my grandmother to breast cancer a little over a year ago, and towards the end she barely recognized anyone. It sucked that she hardly remembered me, and I lived with her for 10 years of my life. This song, and video makes me cry thinking about it every time I hear it, and watch it.
This is music therapy at its finest. I've had 2 grandparents, and 2 great-grandparents that were affected by this. The very first time I saw this video, I closed RUclips and the internet after it was done and sat the rest of the night in silence. It was so powerful. I've since then watched dozens of reactors experience this as well. You certainly felt the emotion of this song. Music should invoke that reaction, and I think it's part of the artistry of this song. Well done. I also concur with many of the other comments. Perrenial or Blessed Be would be a great next reaction to Spiritbox. Get some of this softness, but a touch and introduction of their aggressive side.
@@sabina1118 It's hard to watch anyone who knows someone who has the condition watch the video. Musically and vocally, it's one of their gentlest songs - but the emotional impact is hard. This is a very small example of what vocalist Courtney LaPlante is capable of. You might want to fasten your seatbelt and keep your arms inside the carriage if you want to continue this rollercoaster ride.. 😉
Your clear sense of humanity has earned you a new subscriber. I went though a situation like this with my pawpaw. He had dementia and a couple months after diagnosis, he had a stroke and went blind. From then on, the dementia run wild and he was alway in his own little world. Back on the farm when he was just a child spending time with his dad (his dad passed away when he was 9) so i definitely found solace in the idea that he finally saw his dad again after all these years. he was 76 years old.
Sitting in the living room trying not to cry because my roommate walked in hahaha I'm glad you picked up on the sonic mirroring of the disease and the way it is represented in the video. Your reaction was very astute, and I love that you are willing to show your emotions. Keep up the good work!
That was the reaction I expexted to this song. Many others just went over the emotional content. I was involved personally and this helps me coping with it. Thanks!
Most Spiritbox songs are heavy. This one is “heavy.” If you wanna know more about the song, the video, the band, the members, or where they all came from musically, I’d be happy to answer anything. I’ve been friends with Mike (guitarist) for 13 or 14 years, and friends with Courtney and Bill for over a decade.
Im envious. I wish I could tell Courtney what a huge impact she and the band have had on my life. I have BPD. This song hits me differently...when I have episodes, its...dark. I forget what is real. I've felt like an alien my whole life, never fitting in anywhere, and neverending emotional rawness. Courtney popped into my ears a couple months ago with Rule of Nines. In this I found a lifeline. Im in therapy and slowly progressing, but I wish I could tell the band what a massively positive impact they have all had in my life.
That is awesome🤘. Your lucky! This song has touched so many, they have conveyed their emotiong so well. I would love to her Courtney do some acoustic songs...🙏maybe you could pass that on? She has such a beautiful voice.
Just tell them thanks from everyone honestly. I'm really happy they're from Canada as well, not that it really matters in the end but it's just nice to see such amazing talent coming from my home country!
What a great reaction, your commenting on the video was so on point on everything that they are trying to accomplished with audio and visuals. I've seen this video and listening to this song a lot, I thought I wouldn’t cry anymore, and you manage to made me cry again!!
Thank you so much for reacting to this without pausing! It really hits so much harder this way, and most "reacters" usually pause in the most crucial parts of the experience, toning down the emotion.
Thanks for requesting this! Check out my comment post on the video here...Courtney, Mike, and Bill are good friends and I love them to death! They deserve the exposure!
You can never go wrong with a Spiritbox song. They are making very heavy music, and despite this song is the softest and only song, where Courtney does not use growling vocals additionally, it still hits hard in the chest, because this generally is, what this band does. Extraordinary musicians, great arrangements, great songwriting, original feeling (horror related, more or less, with intelligent lyrics). Exceptional band, very original in the concept. If you like to see, what they really are capable of, musically, watch "The Mara Effect live at Silversound Studios", a song trilogy that is meant to be heard sequentially, in a one-take band video, these are the first 3 songs of the first EP they ever made, they absolutely killed it from the start. The only video that really captures the whole excellence and bandwidth of them. 16 minutes of your life well spent. It is not reacted to as much as other videos are, but this is only because of the length. I always try to stop after part I, but not a single time it worked, I am captured to the end. So well made.
I watched my great grand father go through this at the age of 16. I just watched and was like "this crazy old man". I watched my grandfather go through this 2 years ago. I watched again and was like "Oh man this is real! Am I going to end up this way????" My father is starting to show signs of this. Here I am at 41. None of the males in our family have made it past 85 due to this. I have 44 years left "ish" to try to figure out how to combat this. SpiritBox - Constance and Cory Taylor's - Snuff are me. I cry for both and search endlessly to resolve both. May your days be bright and your nights be even brighter.
I've watched this video several times since I first discovered Spiritbox a few days ago and it never fails to make me an emotional wreck, which is probably made worse because my mother passed away this past summer from the after effects of COVID and I didn't get to see before she died. Sabina, I love your reaction and how you related the heavier instrumental parts of the song to the feeling of loss and sadness and the elderly woman's confusion and loss of memory. Thank you.
If you liked this song, I would recommend checking out the video of the singer, Courtney LaPlante, doing a "one take vocal" over their song Circle With Me, which also features her kick-a$$ growl/scream vocals.
I don't know why but watching your review has brought a tear but I didn't get this from others. Must be the way you have presented it. The sound is so much better and the video is clearer to see. Great thanks!
Awesome reaction. Thank you. I would suggest 'ramping up' on spiritbox (as I do not know your musical tastes). Constance is their soft side, then Perennial and Trust Fall sort of hang in their 'mid range' for me, then things like Beauty of Suffering and Holy Roller go hard to the paint. All their songs are incredible. Blessed Be and Rule of Nines are incredible and 'mid to heavy'. Please continue on the journey with SB!
Very touching reaction, thank you. I completely agree with you, sad music can make us feel a great sense of catharsis and help relieve stress that way, it's good for the soul. Also, big props to your patron who requested you check out Spiritbox, they're an incredible group. I hope you'll continue checking out their music. As far as recommendations go I'd say Perennial is a good song to follow up Constance. Or perhaps Belcarra, if you're curious to hear their heavier side. In both cases, I recommend the music videos. Belcarra also has a live vocal performance on the band's youtube channel that you can check out if you wish.
Crying is good. I do it all the time as a 30yo man. Anything that’s touching even in the slightest makes me cry and just think about how I’m grateful for the things in my life. It’s a healthy response. Don’t suppress it.
Courtney, Mike, and Bill are good friends of mine and I had to honor of getting to see them live in concert in Prague on March 4, 2020...that was right as COVID hit Europe and I think it ended up being the next to late show on their tour, before they had to cancel. I got to hang with them before, during, and after the show and it was an amazing night I'll never forget (last LIVE music pre-COVID pandemic...a historical moment)! I was taking a video of them when they first came out on stage to do "Rule of Nines"....Courtney saw me and actually ran over to shake my hand (I got a big hug at the merch table after their set was up though- happy Greg!!)- the video was on my crappy phone at the time, so forgive the audio quality, but you can see where she came over to thank me for coming all the way from Dallas, Texas to see them 5,338 mi/8,591 km. At about the :25 mark is where she sees me and comes over- I was so happy and honored!! ruclips.net/video/cAiifZdQuRM/видео.html I gave Sabina a good "gateway map of songs" for more Spiritbox, to break her and her channel fans in easily. Courtney has masterful vocal fry & beautiful cleans, Mike's guitar work and Bill's bass work is top notch. They are still working on a steady drummer, but I think that is already in the works, I believe. They are such a talented band and its sad that COVID had to spoil an amazing opportunity for them to get more exposure. I love Courtney, Mike, and Bill dearly and I can't wait to be able to see them live again when the pandemic settles and borders open again.
My fiancé and I lost our grandma this year to dementia, whenever I see or even HEAR this song I can’t help but to cry; how tragically beautiful this is. R.I.P Nonnie, we love and miss you every day ♥️
Yesss, get on the spiritbox train. To really get the proper build-up next: blessed be, then Rule of nines and then holy roller. If you mix them you might get scared 😁
This is seriously one of my favorite songs, I've never had a song pull so much emotion from me. I lost my grandma to COVID, but she had alzheimers, and the virus seemed to speed up the progress of her alzheimers. I'll never forget that last thing my grandmother said to my mom was "im not your mother". That was March 4th of this year. So you can only guess how hard this song hit me.
Vancouver, BC, Canada where Spiritbox lives, has a vast number of terrific character actors, since it is second only to Los Angeles in North America for film production.
First time seeing this. Oh wow I wasn’t ready! Sad and powerful. Reminded me a bit of watching James Blunt sing Monsters which is about his dad being ill ... another sad and powerful song. ❤️🇬🇧
Another amazing video reaction as always, such a beautiful and powerful song. Courtney's voice is absolutely gorgeous and haunting, in a good way. The last song that got me this emotional is my immortal by evanescence or church by tom Macdonald.
FINALY a Person who don`t stop in the reaction to talk about it, but edit the thoughts in the video as text, and got the same strong emotions I have watching this! Thank you for this reaction = Follow and Bell!
@@sabina1118 I got a suggestion to reacting to if you don`t mind. A Band from Moldovia called "Infected Rain". You really should try "Orphan Soul" or "Lure" from this Band....you will love it!
Dear Sabina 🌷 this song is not to my taste, a bit noisy but I suppose it mirrors the chaos that Alzheimer’s brings to those affected. The video is powerful. I wasn’t crying until I saw you crying. It seems that songs that affect us emotionally are the sad ones. Just so you know, you’ll not cry alone. Ok, let’s have some tea 🍵.
Spiritbox are wonderful! Great reaction, I think you would like Rule of Nines by them. There's the official video and a live one take vocal from Courtney and both are worth a watch :)
So.. you have reacted now to my favourite bands: Jinjer and now Spiritbox. Awesome ! Then you probably might enjoy Vintersea from Portland. They even opened a couple of gigs for Jinjer back in 2019 during their North American tour. Please react to their song "Illuminated" Subbed. Cheers from Norway
6:02 (Danish:) "Uh ha..." (English:) "So..." XD Great reaction. Great song. Great music video. You must check out a lot more Spiritbox. They are not a band playing a genre. They are Spiritbox. They make journeys and great music. I would recommend The Mara Effect part 1, 2, 3 live at Silversound.
Another beautiful song about Alzheimer's that has a heartbreaking video is 'Doing the Right Thing' by Daughter. But 'Blessed Be' by Spiritbox would also be great song to react to if you don't feel like starting a whole 'crying while listening to music' series!
Hey Sabina, once you will have listened to the other -great- suggestions (Blessed Be, Rule of Nines, Circle with me, Holly Roller) I hope you will check "The Mara Effect live at Silverside Sound". This one is a live session of their song Mara Effect in 3 parts, less catchy as their other popular songs, but so much deeper and complex, especially the third part.
Hello Sabina! Evocative Video ,Emotional Response! Thank You. This song though is not truly indicative of Courtneys dual vocal style as most of their songs have Growls/Harsh singing simular to Tatiana from Jinjer. There is a track called 'Rule Of Nine' that displays this well.Thank You Sabina.
Great song - I love Spritbox!! And awesome and true reaction. In case strong emotional music is catching you and you like to get deeply touched try the fabulous Spanish singer Diana Navarro - El Perdon! (Official video!) She put everything on another level for emotional songs for me. And it’s said she has two oxygen tanks as she can easily hold notes above 25s.
My grandmother died from alzheimer complications. that videos was hard to see. Just did once. i was the little kid on video, her favorite grandson ( i her own words). miss u granny
Wow another impeccable reaction thanks, I know you love music I would like you to listen to The Gatering with "Travel" I think it's a great song with a lot of emotions
Bravo one of the best of spiritbox. Constance is Courtney LaPlante grandmother wich died and she couldn't go cause the pandemic. Her grandma always wanted her to sing without the grouls ans screans which she did in this one to honor her. Courtney was crying in this video which were true tears. Also the director her grandma hava alzheimer but she's alive. You should react now to the video bless be
sorry, have to correct you... constance is dylan's (the director & owner of versa films) grandmother.! this song was released on her 88th birthday back in december. she lives in home care and suffers alzheimer's disease and hasn't seen dylan or the rest of her family since march last year due to covid restrictions. courtney's grandmother past away last summer and she wasn't able to attend the funeral also due to covid restrictions - but her grandmother is not constance. so, the video refers to dylan's grandmother (the real constance is shown on the b/w picture in the video) and is courtney's way to say goodbye to her grandmother.
Hello Sabina! The song "Constance", triggers many different feelings in me. Sadness, anger but also complete discomfort. The discomfort comes not from the theme of the song, but from the arrangement. The sound texture makes the song very uncomfortable and frightened. I can imagine that people suffering from Alzeihmer's disease or dementia feel the same way as the song conveys. May I ask you for a reaction to the following song? I am a big fan of the band Anathema. The lyrics and the singing always give me goose bumps. The singer's vibrato is so great and she really has a voice to fall in love with. Of course, the singers are great too :) I'm definitely looking forward to a reaction! ruclips.net/video/-aom-fUjthU/видео.html
I think I could have made it though the song without crying if it wasn't for you starting. Then I had no chance. I was a very powerful video, but maybe too powerful. To me it drowned out the music to the point where I didn't really notice it. That's always the danger of memorable music videos. I remember watching Susanne Sundfør - When the Lord and the images was so overwhelming that I have no recollection of the music and I never want to watch it again.
I know what you mean!! The video was super intense but very powerful! I felt like the video and music was blanding together beautilfully, but I for sure see you point here - Thanks for sharing 🤗❤️
Stop making me cry lol songs sad enough..I'm just kidding..but really I'm bad ass all day too I see u ..then you make me want hold u because I feel 4 your motions..your so kind ..that's what makes u special person..bless your heart sweety..
Do you know about THE FIRST TAKE channel? I highly recommend you to check them out. The channel concept is that every invited singer is given one chance to do a live recording. Success or not depends on them. Unedited raw voice and only the first take counts. I suggest: ・Lisa - Homura (from a movie that has grossed $384.5 million and still counting) ・The Gospellers - Hitori (ゴスペラーズ - ひとり) ・Wacci - Tarinai (足りない) ・Little Glee Monster - ECHO or try one of the 3 most-watched videos (make sure to turn on the subtitles)🔥
Same.

" I love how the arrangement is expressing the frustration and pain" Best observation I've seen so far!

One of the most powerful songs too
Spiritbox needs to make a whole album with nothing but tracks like this.
been hearing this for 6 months and it still causes tears to flow...

Hi beautiful Sabina, Marc from Vegas here, OMG I was a wreck watching this video, too beautiful!!!! Keep them coming...❤️❤️❤️❤️
I watched my great grand father go through this at the age of 16. I just watched and was like "this crazy old man". I watched my grandfather go through this 2 years ago. I watched again and was like "Oh man this is real! Am I going to end up this way????" My father is starting to show signs of this. Here I am at 41. None of the males in our family have made it past 85 due to this. I have 44 years left "ish" to try to figure out how to combat this. SpiritBox - Constance and Cory Taylor's - Snuff are me. I cry for both and search endlessly to resolve both. May your days be bright and your nights be even brighter.
Sound really tough!! Thanks for sharing ❤️ And Thank god for epigenetics - you might not go Down that Road!! ❤️ Lots of love
Love that your reaction is so genuine!
Glad to see the reaction! Check out their song "Blessed Be"!
You shouldn't have to worry about a copyright strike with this band, by the way!

If you liked this song, I would recommend checking out the video of the singer, Courtney LaPlante, doing a "one take vocal" over their song Circle With Me, which also features her kick-a$$ growl/scream vocals.
Courtney's range is insane. First time I watched Holler Roller I had no idea a woman was doing the vocals.
She is surprising that's what i like
I don't know why but watching your review has brought a tear but I didn't get this from others. Must be the way you have presented it. The sound is so much better and the video is clearer to see. Great thanks!
Awesome reaction. Thank you. I would suggest 'ramping up' on spiritbox (as I do not know your musical tastes). Constance is their soft side, then Perennial and Trust Fall sort of hang in their 'mid range' for me, then things like Beauty of Suffering and Holy Roller go hard to the paint. All their songs are incredible. Blessed Be and Rule of Nines are incredible and 'mid to heavy'. Please continue on the journey with SB!
Very touching reaction, thank you. I completely agree with you, sad music can make us feel a great sense of catharsis and help relieve stress that way, it's good for the soul. Also, big props to your patron who requested you check out Spiritbox, they're an incredible group. I hope you'll continue checking out their music. As far as recommendations go I'd say Perennial is a good song to follow up Constance. Or perhaps Belcarra, if you're curious to hear their heavier side. In both cases, I recommend the music videos. Belcarra also has a live vocal performance on the band's youtube channel that you can check out if you wish.
Crying is good. I do it all the time as a 30yo man. Anything that’s touching even in the slightest makes me cry and just think about how I’m grateful for the things in my life. It’s a healthy response. Don’t suppress it.
Beautiful honest reaction! This song makes me break down whenever I listen to it. Such an emotional song.
This song brings me to tears Every. Single. Time 😭
Anyone that doesn't feel emotion listening to this literally has no heart.
@Kai Markus
Thank you.
Or like maybe, just MAYBE, it's not their cup of tea. That said, the subject matter is very deep and unfortunately relatable.
@Kai Markus just saw this and thanks for calling it out lol
World needs more Courtney!
Love you Sabina HUGSSSSS ❤ people must like seeing you cry 🙄 they keep sending you emotional videos
Courtney, Mike, and Bill are good friends of mine and I had to honor of getting to see them live in concert in Prague on March 4, 2020...that was right as COVID hit Europe and I think it ended up being the next to late show on their tour, before they had to cancel. I got to hang with them before, during, and after the show and it was an amazing night I'll never forget (last LIVE music pre-COVID pandemic...a historical moment)! I was taking a video of them when they first came out on stage to do "Rule of Nines"....Courtney saw me and actually ran over to shake my hand (I got a big hug at the merch table after their set was up though- happy Greg!!)- the video was on my crappy phone at the time, so forgive the audio quality, but you can see where she came over to thank me for coming all the way from Dallas, Texas to see them 5,338 mi/8,591 km. At about the :25 mark is where she sees me and comes over- I was so happy and honored!! ruclips.net/video/cAiifZdQuRM/видео.html
I gave Sabina a good "gateway map of songs" for more Spiritbox, to break her and her channel fans in easily. Courtney has masterful vocal fry & beautiful cleans, Mike's guitar work and Bill's bass work is top notch. They are still working on a steady drummer, but I think that is already in the works, I believe. They are such a talented band and its sad that COVID had to spoil an amazing opportunity for them to get more exposure. I love Courtney, Mike, and Bill dearly and I can't wait to be able to see them live again when the pandemic settles and borders open again.
The actors they got for the video did an amazing job as well!!
My fiancé and I lost our grandma this year to dementia, whenever I see or even HEAR this song I can’t help but to cry; how tragically beautiful this is. R.I.P Nonnie, we love and miss you every day ♥️
This song hits me in the feels. I lost both of my grandfather's to similar circumstances
Very touching...this really hit home !
I've watched people react to this song so much until now my eyes are starting to water.
Definitivamente todos lloramos con esta cancion de Spiritbox u.u la letra, la voz, los instrumentos, el video, la historia..
Yesss, get on the spiritbox train. To really get the proper build-up next: blessed be, then Rule of nines and then holy roller. If you mix them you might get scared 😁
This is seriously one of my favorite songs, I've never had a song pull so much emotion from me. I lost my grandma to COVID, but she had alzheimers, and the virus seemed to speed up the progress of her alzheimers. I'll never forget that last thing my grandmother said to my mom was "im not your mother". That was March 4th of this year. So you can only guess how hard this song hit me.
Vancouver, BC, Canada where Spiritbox lives, has a vast number of terrific character actors, since it is second only to Los Angeles in North America for film production.
A first for me it was very powerful, truthful piece and just wow x and your reaction I just wanted to give you a 🤗❤️Xxx
First time seeing this. Oh wow I wasn’t ready! Sad and powerful. Reminded me a bit of watching James Blunt sing Monsters which is about his dad being ill ... another sad and powerful song. ❤️🇬🇧
Super sad and powerful! And yes, that's actually true with the James Blunt song. ❤️😊
Another amazing video reaction as always, such a beautiful and powerful song. Courtney's voice is absolutely gorgeous and haunting, in a good way. The last song that got me this emotional is my immortal by evanescence or church by tom Macdonald.
FINALY a Person who don`t stop in the reaction to talk about it, but edit the thoughts in the video as text, and got the same strong emotions I have watching this!
Thank you for this reaction = Follow and Bell!
My great pleasure! Thanks and welcome! 🤗❤️
@@sabina1118 I got a suggestion to reacting to if you don`t mind. A Band from Moldovia called "Infected Rain". You really should try "Orphan Soul" or "Lure" from this Band....you will love it!
Dear Sabina 🌷 this song is not to my taste, a bit noisy but I suppose it mirrors the chaos that Alzheimer’s brings to those affected. The video is powerful. I wasn’t crying until I saw you crying. It seems that songs that affect us emotionally are the sad ones. Just so you know, you’ll not cry alone. Ok, let’s have some tea 🍵.
Thanks for sharing ❤️ Yes, super powerful indeed and Well Said. Nothing like a soothing cup of tea and great Company ❤️ hugs!
Spiritbox are wonderful! Great reaction, I think you would like Rule of Nines by them. There's the official video and a live one take vocal from Courtney and both are worth a watch :)
So.. you have reacted now to my favourite bands: Jinjer and now Spiritbox.
Awesome !
Then you probably might enjoy Vintersea from Portland.
They even opened a couple of gigs for Jinjer back in 2019 during their North American tour.
Please react to their song "Illuminated"
Subbed.
Cheers from Norway
This band is really maturing. I was expecting a song full of false-fold growling, but this was a well-crafted song with great changes at the end.
Oh good - Constance - I havn't cried today....
6:02 (Danish:) "Uh ha..." (English:) "So..." XD Great reaction. Great song. Great music video. You must check out a lot more Spiritbox. They are not a band playing a genre. They are Spiritbox. They make journeys and great music. I would recommend The Mara Effect part 1, 2, 3 live at Silversound.
Another beautiful song about Alzheimer's that has a heartbreaking video is 'Doing the Right Thing' by Daughter. But 'Blessed Be' by Spiritbox would also be great song to react to if you don't feel like starting a whole 'crying while listening to music' series!
It's beautiful. Noticed though that what we're hearing is transposed a step up from the original
This song is about losing someone you loved your whole life.
Sabina... Spirit box-Rule of nines double reaction (official video-one take vocal). Right here, right now. Trust me on this 😊
Great reaction!...as usual.
Thanks a lot ❤️
this song stone cold stunners me every time I listen - wrecked.
When you read the back story behind this song...
Spiritbox always finds a way to be heavy. This time, emotionally.
Me encantó muchísimo esta canción!! 😭🖤🖤
Every time I watch this video I cry DANG IT COURTNEY
I cry every time
ty sabina 🖤
🤍🇺🇸
This is a beautiful composition always seems to slam the crap out of who hears/ watches the experience of it
the crap out
Hey Sabina, once you will have listened to the other -great- suggestions (Blessed Be, Rule of Nines, Circle with me, Holly Roller) I hope you will check "The Mara Effect live at Silverside Sound".
This one is a live session of their song Mara Effect in 3 parts, less catchy as their other popular songs, but so much deeper and complex, especially the third part.
"Okay, cute voice"
If only you knew about Holy Roller at that moment.
Also, Courtney is cute in all aspects. She's just awesome.
Cry every time.......
I had the same reaction. Great introduction song to Spiritbox. The next logical follow up would be "Holy Roller."
Hello Sabina! Evocative Video ,Emotional Response! Thank You. This song though is not truly indicative of Courtneys dual vocal style as most of their songs have Growls/Harsh singing simular to Tatiana from Jinjer. There is a track called 'Rule Of Nine' that displays this well.Thank You Sabina.
The sped up tempo threw me off lol
Yea, I have to figure out when this happens as I have not done it myself purposly 😂
Yeah, it seems to be running at 1.25x speed for some reason.
Great song - I love Spritbox!! And awesome and true reaction.
In case strong emotional music is catching you and you like to get deeply touched try the fabulous Spanish singer Diana Navarro - El Perdon! (Official video!)
She put everything on another level for emotional songs for me. And it’s said she has two oxygen tanks as she can easily hold notes above 25s.
I lost my mother last November. I cannot watch this video all the way through.
My grandmother died from alzheimer complications. that videos was hard to see. Just did once. i was the little kid on video, her favorite grandson ( i her own words). miss u granny
Lost my uncle the same way.. Well this was another crying moment...
Wow another impeccable reaction thanks, I know you love music I would like you to listen to The Gatering with "Travel" I think it's a great song with a lot of emotions
My heart is broken 💔
Bravo one of the best of spiritbox. Constance is Courtney LaPlante grandmother wich died and she couldn't go cause the pandemic. Her grandma always wanted her to sing without the grouls ans screans which she did in this one to honor her. Courtney was crying in this video which were true tears. Also the director her grandma hava alzheimer but she's alive.
You should react now to the video bless be
¡Gracias por compartir y apoyar a Sabina de mis amigos en Spiritbox!
sorry, have to correct you... constance is dylan's (the director & owner of versa films) grandmother.! this song was released on her 88th birthday back in december. she lives in home care and suffers alzheimer's disease and hasn't seen dylan or the rest of her family since march last year due to covid restrictions. courtney's grandmother past away last summer and she wasn't able to attend the funeral also due to covid restrictions - but her grandmother is not constance. so, the video refers to dylan's grandmother (the real constance is shown on the b/w picture in the video) and is courtney's way to say goodbye to her grandmother.
@@godscoldhands77 Dylan, that's for the correction...
Hello Sabina!
The song "Constance", triggers many different feelings in me. Sadness, anger but also complete discomfort. The discomfort comes not from the theme of the song, but from the arrangement. The sound texture makes the song very uncomfortable and frightened. I can imagine that people suffering from Alzeihmer's disease or dementia feel the same way as the song conveys.
May I ask you for a reaction to the following song?
I am a big fan of the band Anathema. The lyrics and the singing always give me goose bumps. The singer's vibrato is so great and she really has a voice to fall in love with. Of course, the singers are great too :) I'm definitely looking forward to a reaction!
ruclips.net/video/-aom-fUjthU/видео.html
I think I could have made it though the song without crying if it wasn't for you starting. Then I had no chance. I was a very powerful video, but maybe too powerful. To me it drowned out the music to the point where I didn't really notice it. That's always the danger of memorable music videos. I remember watching Susanne Sundfør - When the Lord and the images was so overwhelming that I have no recollection of the music and I never want to watch it again.
I know what you mean!! The video was super intense but very powerful! I felt like the video and music was blanding together beautilfully, but I for sure see you point here - Thanks for sharing 🤗❤️
Спасибо за реакцию
Моя бабуля уходила так же...
Hi Sabina! Love yer reactions! Have you checked out " shoemaker" by Nightwish yet? Floors voice is impressive in that song!
you re such a sweet creature.
nice reaction
Opera Rock. From Spain please. React to Camilo Sesto: Getsemani ( live 1977 ).
Given how you liked this I'd suggest their latest, "Circle With Me"
Definiteley check out other spiritbox songs. Secret Garden would be a good next one
I absolutely love this song, but I seriously can't watch the music video. It makes me bawl my eyes out every time.
Stop making me cry lol songs sad enough..I'm just kidding..but really I'm bad ass all day too I see u ..then you make me want hold u because I feel 4 your motions..your so kind ..that's what makes u special person..bless your heart sweety..
❤️
❤️❤️
Hi Sabina! You need do react to other song of Spiritbox how Rules of Nine, Metal Detector.. Stay the tip..
Omaigod why are you so beautiful and adorable ? I can’t stop looking at your eyes , really really pretty btw great reaction
Thank you 🤗
Forgot to tell you that the nurse in the photo is the real constance
Do you know about THE FIRST TAKE channel? I highly recommend you to check them out. The channel concept is that every invited singer is given one chance to do a live recording. Success or not depends on them. Unedited raw voice and only the first take counts.
I suggest:
・Lisa - Homura (from a movie that has grossed $384.5 million and still counting)
・The Gospellers - Hitori (ゴスペラーズ - ひとり)
・Wacci - Tarinai (足りない)
・Little Glee Monster - ECHO
or try one of the 3 most-watched videos (make sure to turn on the subtitles)🔥
