@Andrea Joy 9 years fighting cancer? Fuck. I'm saddened you've had to fight for 9 years - but you're still FIGHTING and thats fucking amazing. My heart goes out to you and yours, Andrea. Stay strong
@@nikkieJane7831 Thank you! I will fight until any spark of life is gone from my body. I will die knowing I taught my children not only how to fight, but why you fight. Much love to you. ❤❤❤
This version is good but the original version of this song is my favorite song of ALL time. 11 years after it came out, it still send chills down my spine. Thanks for another great reaction!
So much I can relate to in Andrea’s story that it’s giving me chills. 💯 Dear Agony has been an anthem for me as well as Lost in Paradise by Evanescence and a host of others. Music has literally saved my life
My wife shared your page with me, I love your reactions to these videos, I have subscribed and I love your words of encouragement, never give up, find to the end, never ever give up. So true for me, I'm a disabled veteran. 👍🙏❤️
A very good and very close friend of mine is one of only 10 people who have been diagnosed with a clear cell sarcoma. This song always makes me think of her. She got that excised, was in remission for 4 years. But recently they discovered that cancer had come back in both of her lungs. I don't know what the future holds for her, but her strength is unbelievable and unimaginable. To Andrea, you're just as strong and inspirational!
All respect to andrea, just remember brother, someone else's pain does not dismiss your own. Your struggles are valid and you deserve to pick your crown back up.
We all deal with struggles in our lives and they are all a lot. But when it comes down to someone that is fighting for their life we can’t even complain
Just wanted to say I'm on a like 2 hour binge of your videos bc I so relate and get you. The way you see life and humans and your reactions just hits my soul so deep and I'm glad there are other humans out there who get it and feel the same and can feel music the same way. I want to echo what you said.....you never, NEVER have nothing. Keep fucking fighting. If you are breathing...keep fighting. You are worth it, you matter and you can do anything. Keep fighting.
Lacey Sturm is the former lead singer of Flyleaf and you definitely need to react to one of her songs! I'd recommend I'm So Sick or All Around Me. Both are absolutely amazing songs.
This song touched my heart ❤️ I’ve cried since the moment I heard it. My Dad Passed away of Brain cancer Jan 9 2020 after 8 month battle, I imagine this is exactly how he felt.. I could see the agony he went through everyday. He fought until his very last breath.. Andrea My prayers are with you ♥️
This is a wonderful song, but hearing it after knowing his health and addiction battles, and hearing Andrea's story, it becomes one of the most power songs I have ever heard. If you haven't read about Ben health battles, please do.
I love this song, both versions. It has helped me through a lot with my metal health. If you'd like to listen to some more of Lacey, I'd recommend Soldier by Lacey Sturm or I'm so sick by flyleaf.
God bless you Andrea. 🙏🏼 I truly pray you won your battle. I lost my mother to cancer 5 yrs ago and I will just say the fight against cancer is not a fair one. 😓
Andrea sounds like an amazing lady , and its very true there is always someone else worse off than you. I have been to work today I work in a care home. We are lucky our care home has not been hit but others in the town have.I have to be careful as im classed as high risk , but what can you do you cant just not go into work you need to help the residents.
The female vocalist, Lacy Sturm, sang a similar song (more of an upbeat one) called "Fully Alive" while in the band Flyleaf. Give it a check if this did something for you
Andrea.... let hope burn bright in your life....i can relate...i have fought cancer for 7 years, I am diabetic and suffer from a balance disorder. I will always have hope..... this song made me cry.. and your review and everything you said is spot on.... keep fighting the good fight... live your reactions by the way
The Ghost inside- Aftermath. Plz . This band was in a fatal head on crash in their prime. And after several years of rehabilitation for multiple members of the band they are back and this song is all about it!!!!!!!!
That’s absolutely not true. I’m from the town he started breaking Ben in and played in bars before they got big. They are here all the time and that never happened.
Fantastic reaction as always brother. May i request a reaction to The Amity Affliction - Soak Me In Bleach. Its a headbanger and they are a heavy heavy band. In my top 5 without a doubt
My brother on the other hand did answer the car that night and heard his girlfriend screaming and crying. So it will haunt me for all of my days and I will always wish I answer that call but I can’t do anything about it now so I just have to hope and know that he knows how much I loved him and I think it is. He’s with me here every day and his Zurn and we take some dance tournaments around the living room or the kitchen just being connected with each other in the best way that we can now. It might sound morbid but it’s kind of the way that I can stack kind of still feel connected to him
All respect to Andrea. I totally understand her situation. My mom was going through the same thing. And beside cancer she is dealing with a long list of other illnesses such as brain tumor, severe asthma, an enlarged heart and many many others. She is the strongest person i know. She is my hero. And so are all people like Andrea and my mom. Can you please react to A reason to fight from Disturbed. Is my mom's favorite song. We went last summer to Disturbed's concert in Romania. It was one of the few chances to do something really special together. It is both my and my mom's favorite band. Would mean a lot to see you react to that song. Thank you.
When it said I will fight for one last breath that is what I believe my dad was doing when he tried to call me the evening of his passing and I was asleep so I didn’t answer the phone. I kick myself every day for not answering that. It wasn’t till I woke up that morning that I was i Bombarded with text messages and voice messages that I realized what had happened and so I put my son on the school bus for school came home that was what I needed to and then went to work. To which I broke down at work and then took the next two days off
I’m sorry I’m a year late Mr Fable and Andrea. May I be so humble to write something for you my friend? “Rain unto thee, the welcomed rains of love. Excruciating, the pain of a wrongfully dealt hand. Parading through the dark, a glimmer is your soul. Trespass upon us, only to be loved. Cemented in my heart, it has crumbled. May the oceans of peace calm and blanket you. Thank you Fable and Andrea. I’m ready to write again.
Wonderful song. Hope to see him react to it. It holds a special place in my heart since i have been through a lot of things that made my home not feel like a home. I am curious to see his reaction
***This is just how i interpreted the album*** You see, the album "Dear Agony" was a real personal album for Ben (the lead singer). It was the first album Ben wrote sober. He also had Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome (partly because of his drinking habits), but wasnt diagnosed with it until after 2015 sometime. But the entire album is about himself going through the mystery illness and all the agony it caused him. How he struggled to deal with it. On the album, he goes back and forth from vowing not to go down without a fight (The song "I will not bow") to wanting to give up and die (in the song: "fade away"). In the song "Give me a sign," he appears to be trying to make a bargain with God himself that god will just communicate with him in some way, he'll change his ways and be a better man. In the song "Into the nothing," he appears to actually be between the living world and either heaven or hell and is waiting for wherever he is supposed to go next, but it seems as if he doesnt really care either way. The last song, "without You," it seems like he has made a decision to live, but only if he can move forward with "you." I'm guessing its his significant other. Or perhaps god.
*#ABNEGATION**:«Even if I have to spend the rest of my life in **_Loneliness_;I will live alone to show how wrong you are... GOD ...I have not yet given up _Defeated_** so don't give up on me...»*
Andrea!! May KARMA bless you for all the GOOD you do everyday even though you're fighting just to live at the same time. YOU are AMAZING & AN EXAMPLE of exactly the kind of HUMANITY that's needed in this life. I had stage 4 nasopharyngeal cancer. My prognosis was grim. Survival wasnt in the cards for me "they" said. I refused to give in. 27 years later & im STILL HERE. KEEP FIGHTING ANDREA!! YOU GOT THIS!! MUCH, MUCH LOVE BRAVE WARRIOR!! ✌❤💯🔥👑
Hi Andrea Joy!! Its been almost 5 months since i heard your story & commented. I wanted to check in & see how you are doing. You are in my thoughts fellow warrior. Please dont hesitate to contact me if you need anything...even just an ear to listen...ill do whatever I can. Hang in there. You are LOVED. 💯😘🌠🌠🌠🌠😷✌👊💪👑
@@420smokinghippiechick sorry. I was off for a while. I am well and still fighting. Much love to you and thank you for the unbelievably kind words. It's wonderful to know how many kind and beautiful souls are in the world.
Excellent fucking reaction! You should listen to the Dear Agony album all the way through in all its glory. I played the shit out of that CD back in the day. It is a masterpiece. Ben Burnley was fighting for his life after living fast and loose with WAY TOO MUCH alcohol, and it damn near killed him. He ended up with water on the brain, but got sober and is dealing with the consequences quite bravely.
Just stumbled across your channel. I don't know you. I've never met you. I have always been moved by this song, but also moved by your genuine raw human emotions connecting with your audience. We as people need to be strong, but also keep things in perspective. I've subbed on that impression alone.
An interesting tie to this song Is Ben has been chronically ill, literal physical joint and muscular problems and they've never diagnosed . He thinks its tied to his battles with alcohol in the past. pretty sure it was also linked to his time away from performing.
Great reaction and great song. I had a spiritual teacher who told me to not look at how bad your situation is, but what are you learning from it. Everything has a lesson for us. That’s what makes us stronger and to make better choices...if that applies to the situation. So when I’m really down I think about the lessons and how I’m getting stronger. ❤️
Yes! This song has always been my way of finding that center in myself, and my way of telling cancer it won't win. I rarely look at the negatives in my life, and to me my cancer has only made me stronger. The fight leaves me humble, and filled with hope. I see it as an example to my kids that you shouldn't fear death, it's inevitable, you should strive to live fully in every moment. Much love to you and I hope you are healthy and well ❤❤❤
Hey man, I recently found your channel and I really like how you interact with your subs. Keep it up, I believe you reach high like this! I have a few songs if you would like to check in future: Avenged Sevenfold - So far away (lyrics are awesome) Amorphis - Amongst stars (growl/clean vocals along with female singer and has a lot of energy) Shinedown - Monsters (this one has really dope lyrics) Take care everyone!
Valentino Bodom thanks so much for this man and thank you for the love and support ☺️❤️ absolutely will do these for you. Will add these to the list ❤️
