You need to have a lot of vocal technique to sing like that without hurting yourself and still keep your vocals clean and beautiful/in tune, but the girl in the video doesn't understand anything and thinks it's just shouting haha!
There doesn't have to be meaning to a song to enjoy it. You dont have to undersand lyrics to enjoy a song. Your sister claiming that all she heard was "aaahhhh" clearly didnt listen to the song. I could clearly hear what was being said. Shes tone deaf for sure and she just cant seem to grasp the concent of music. She probably is a pop artist fan that makes things sound the exavt same for every song and its so clear what its about
I think it's partly the contrast. If a singer always sounds melodic, it's great but you're used to it. If they always sound brutal, it's cool but it gets monotonous. Bands like (older) Opeth and Jinjer have a secret bonus to the emotion. The transitions make the melodies feel more melodic, the brutality feels more brutal. The drawback is the band has to be ridiculously skilled to pull this off, because they all have to learn both. Doubly so if they're adding in the time signature shenanigans.
Dying on the hill of “I can’t understand the lyrics” is really interesting to me because it’s not difficult at all to look up the lyrics and read them alongside. Even then, just because one person can’t listen through the screaming doesn’t no one else can. But what’s really annoying is her trying to make fake narratives about Metal having a small audience which is factually incorrect. Trying to lie about something you admitted that you don’t understand is really weird to me. Opinions are one thing, lies and fake narratives are another.
Obviously late to this, but my counter is that if you can't extract any meaning from a song without having to understand all the lyrics, then you're not listening to the actual music. Lyrics exist to support the tone created by the instrumentation and vocal delivery. Personally, lyrics are usually the last thing I pay attention to in a song. Also saying SPencer's vocals are just one tone is wild, he covers close to the entire spectrum of timbres a vocalist could ever hope to use well brilliantly in just this one song.
I can understand them for most part it depends like on the video its more clearer but like in live performance they can be like she said though I can tell the difference of what they saying plus heard song on other videos lol there's lots of videos bunch are lyrics videos you don't have to look up the lyrics there's lyrics songs for all kinds of music lol yeah there's lots of songs old and new that I'm like what are they saying it sounds like this but its that lol but I can still appreciate the beat the music the lyrics I do understand sometimes its funny in those rap songs I'm like it sounds like this and its something is this really what they saying lol probably not but its funny lol these guys are more easier to understand than other bands like korn or some metallica songs lol there's even some old songs I'm now listening to on lyrics videos and I'm like oh that's what they saying always figured they were saying something else and those are like some classic songs whatrver you wanna call it rock or soft rock like some bands like reo speedwagon or like Kansas or different bands like that lol
i watched roman's guitar play through of this song without the vocals... and it is SO MUCH BETTER than with vocals.... it's not even close... the riffs are incredible but you can't tell with the singing that doesn't match them and acts only as distraction
My best friend is a tailor swift fan and even she says Tailor swift fans are the worst when it comes to other music. She said (her included) are like baby puppies that don’t like loud noises.
I have to say, the fact that Spencer can write all these songs dedicated to each horro movie takes WAY more talent then a lot of pop songs out there that are just anout breaking up or whatever. He made full dedications to well loved classics and did them so phenomenally. I unsdettand not everyone enjoys this style, but it’s a style that still deserves respect.
I like you! ❤ But this was a really bad choice of song from Epica! Don't know why reactors tend to get it in order to get to know the band. Believe me, Epica can give much much more than this. A few suggestions: Kingdom of heaven part 3 - Omega alive Consign to oblivion - at Zenith Skeleton key - omega alive Rivers (it's a ballad) - with apocalyptica at the AFAS LIVE Cry for the moon (their first song) - we will take you with us
Man, you don´t really need to apologize for pausing the video. We are here to hear what you want to say, I actually like the pauses because this way I can understand what you say without a lot of effort.
I certainly respect your feelings, though the sameness you hear (I only heard you react to this song and Ghost Love Score) seems to be ironic coming from a pop singer.
To sum up, "I m going to say some stupid shit" combined with attention span of a gnat and there you have your pop singer reactor. Haha, I even gave him a like cause he was honest about himself.
Closed captions are a thing for a reason, subtitles for the weird pitches you can’t hear/understand and it requires literally no effort to enable, by her logic she shouldn’t like anything that isn’t in plain English with strong annunciation. Music is more than lyrics 😅
For me the thesis of the song is this: The elders who call the shots need to use brutality to enforce their own authority, lest the children learn to disobey. So they use the justification of doing God's work to cope with their own insecurity and guilt for their abusive nature. In turn, this leads to the adolescents either imitating their abuser, or rebelling against the regime that oppressed them, declaring that they will discard the dogma of the elders wholesale. I would say that the moral of the story is that the ends do not justify the means, because even if you believe you are doing good, others will only see the wicked ways in which you force your beliefs upon them.
LOL, in the space of 4 years I have literally gone from her point of view (literally arguing the exact same words she gives for not liking heavy metal screamo bands) to his side of the argument (making the same points he brings up). It takes time to build appreciation for art outside of your comfort zones. And even now I steer clear of the heaviest death metal bands. I still prefer the clean vocals. But I.N.K. has definitely been essential in my ongoing journey to accepting heavier music.
