This song has helped me pass through my lonely days. Every night before sleeping I listen to this song. It feels as if I am not the only one that is stressed out in this world. Some other person in this whole world has the same feeling as me. This song is just legendary
Starset- my demons. Red- pieces. BMTH- suicide season. August burns red-cutting the ties. Shadow of intent- the heretic prevails. We came as romans- to move on is to grow. Crown the empire- machines. The ghost inside- faith or forgiveness. Breaking benjamin-angels fall. Linkin park-iridescent. Parkway drive- carrion. Emmure- we were just kids. Funeral for a friend-roses for the dead. It goes on and on :)
This song cuts deep with a lot of people. It was actually written by the secondary singer (not Serj) about remembering the day his brothere died in a car accident. The two were really close and so it really feels like the loneliest day of his life each year on the "anniversary" of losing his brother, that feeling of loss being dreged up again and you can hear the regret in the lyrics, that he feels like it should have been him or at least he should have died with him, but at the end he says it's a day he's glad he survived as, through him, his brother's memory can be kept alive.
System of a Down was one of the best bands to come out of the "nu-metal" movement. Keep checking them out. If you liked this one, check out Lost in Hollywood. Keep rocking out, dude.
I don't think it is fair to call them "Nu-metal." It's kinda like calling Twenty One Pilots and rap group. I fails to explain what they are. I think both of the groups transcend genre. But if I was force to describe System of a Down, I would say that it is a very unique metal group.
Daron is not the lead singer of the band (but is on the song itself). He wrote the song, He is the guitarist and he is the only child. Unfortunately what you heard is just a rumour.
I concur w/ this song. I cry every day while listening to this song. This lonely day is mine...." Such a lonely day...I'm glad I survived." That's the whole point.
Always nice when you do music/bands from back in the day. I'm TOTALLY into contemporary music these days (you actually CAN teach an old dog new tricks !! LOL) but a blast from my past is fondly remembered. For FEMALE FRONTED BANDS DAY, please, please, PLEASE do some HALESTORM. Any Halestorm would be cool, but I really think that you would like "Here's To Us" You HAVE said you like Lzzy's grainy voice. Halestorm fans, give me your likes!
Yes! My favorite song from my favorite band! I'm a SOAD fan since I was 14 or 15 (so 11 or 12 years now). I think this song was one of the first songs I learned how to sing because it is a slow song (I'm Brazilian so slow songs helped with my English in the beginning) and that's why it remains one of my favorites ever. And I love the message at the end.. "it's a day that I'm glad I survived"
Alex, I've always loved this song. Serj isn't the main singer here but I love it, Daron's voice was perfect for the melody. The video takes me back to a time when I've travelled on a bus, starting the trip in the daylight & then on into the darkness of night. Awesome reaction dude!
@Christopher Bingham I'm the last person on earth that would be a grammar nazi but you're right, it sends my OCD into a mad frenzy, i agree 100% with you, lol

Alex! Get better! This song holds a dear spot to us veteran’s. I’m glad you liked the song, and yes that solo is absolutely incredible. You should definitely check out Butcher Babies “They are coming to take me away” or “Monsters Ball”
I found your channel maybe 2 hours ago after listening to Avenged Sevenfold. I recently lost my dog and ive been feeling sad, lonely and angry for pretty much 6 weeks now. It feels nice to watch these videos. Im already listening to these songs but at the same time i also feel kinda like im opening up about my emotions to someone. Like you were someone who just asked my "how do you feel?" and i say "just listen to this". Then after the song is over you go over what the song is about and how it makes you feel. I dont know if that makes sense but im just trying to say that i feel like these videos are helping me so thank you
Devils night by motionless in white Hail the apocalypse by avatar Black waltz by avatar The king welcomes you to avatar country by avatar Vultures fly by avatar too
This is probably THE sond that helped me through some really really tough times in my teens. I absolutely love it. As many others say, "Soldier Side" by SoAD is definitely one you should listen to, it's amazing!
Nice reaction, that was definitely Daron going off in a different direction. How about some Avatar? I recommend A Statue Of The King. One of the most entertaining videos I've seen in the last few years.
As you told, I'm one of those who has strong emotional connection to this song. It's very important for me as I listened to it on repeat after my father died 10 years ago. Those were the most lonliest days of my life, but this song helped a lot. I'm glad you liked it too.
Alex, the part that blew your mind during the solo is from a delay pedal. He isn't playing that fast, although getting the timing down to pull it off can be quite difficult.
A very unique song by System of a Down... ...as I said while personally watching this video - The random stuff on fire reminds me of the cover artwork of Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here" album ..."Lonely Day" and "Wish You Were Here" does seem go together doesn't it?
@@takecondonafiuta159 I went back and looked and damn! I didn't realize he reacted to so much by Trivium! But I don't think Shogun is too long of a song for a reaction.
