Another good one to really check out is Drown By Bring Me The Horizon. Another strong powerful lyrically written song that has a message about Mental Health and depression.

If your down, depressed or suicidal..."The Amity Affliction" is definately the band to rage out to. They will help you through it! 🤘🤘

All Fucked Up by these guys really got me through a dark time in my life. I literally never cried so damn much in my life before like I did last year. My best friend Maya showed me All Fucked Up. And honestly Maya and All Fucked Up played big rolls in saving my life, and saved me from wanting to take my own life. I was hesitant about watching All Fucked Up music video because I didn’t know what I was getting myself into. But one day I caved in finally and watched it and honestly I wasn’t expecting what I watched at all. It shows a big message on what us people go through every. It sent out a very powerful message. Never abandon your brothers and sisters. Check it out. I bawled like a little baby.

Suicide survivor myself, and I still struggle with it to this day.

You definitely need to react to more of The Amity Affliction. Their lyrics are very much centered on mental health. There's also this bsnd called Caskets, and their music video for their song "Better Way Out" you'd be moved to tears by the music video.

These guys are so good live. They’re very engaging with the crowd and do not shy away from talking about mental health.

The mix between Joel’s screams and Ehren’s clean singing is beautiful

This was the first song I'd heard by Amity Affliction, and it definitely hit me hard. It's nice to see you take a look at it, not a lot of people know about it, but it's so well done.

One of their best songs. The whole Let the Ocean Take Me album is about Joel’s (screamer) mental problems.

this is the amity from eight years ago, but they're still making incredible music. If you want to hear something sooo melodic and powerful, they released a track called 'Death And The Setting Sun'. They also have a much darker and brutal track called 'I See Dead People' from their new album.

Yes! Love seeing people react to The Amity Affliction. This song was actually written and entitled "Pittsburgh" because at Warped Tour 2013 in Pittsburgh (burgettstown actually but close enough) the main vocalist Joel (the screamer/dirty vocalist) was drinking heavily that day and it was super hot out and he ended up having a seizure and being hospitalized so he wrote this about how he felt in that time. I was actually at that warped tour and was waiting for them to come on and they announced they wouldn't be able to perform but didn't say why. I was super bummed as a huge fan but we didn't know why til later. It was heartbreaking to hear later what had happened. He's turned himself around and is much better now. Another great song of theirs is "Drag the lake" as well as their trilogy music video series called the misery trilogy which goes "Ivy (doomsday)" "Feels like im dying" and then "D.I.E." hope to see more reactions of these guys❤

I actually "stumbled" onto your channel by accident/pure chance. You do such a good job by analysing lyrics etc, as well the obvious health issues and help you provide. Keep it up Amanda!

The amity affliction is my favorite band of all time. Almost all their songs aim toward depression and suicide awareness as the screamer suffers with it himself. They have helped me through the darkest periods of my life. They truly saved me.

Think this was the first Amity Affliction song I listened to. Other songs to check out that are on the same album as this would be "Don't Lean On Me," "The Weigh Down," and "Death's Hand." Some others to check out are "I Bring The Weather With Me," "This Could Be Heartbreak," "Shine On," and "Not Without My Ghosts."

This Could be Heartbreak and All Fucked Up are GREAT songs that deserve a reaction. These guys helped me during my biggest battles

The Amity Affliction is deep rooted in mental health and I strongly encourage people to listen to more of them and follow along with the lyrics. Music has the power to heal and help cope. It's truly a hopeful form of therapy!

I love these guys. Their lyrics make me tear up , especially the song weigh down
