An Aerial is an acrobatic move. While watching something mesmerizing, our minds lose all of our built up biases and filters, which usually keep us small minded in our day to day life. He is basically saying, lose your small minded thinking. With an open mind, you'll free your life..

@@justdave9610 That is the definition when it is used as an adjective, but adjectives alone can't be used as a sentence's subject. With the letter "s" used at the end of the word making it plural, Aerial(Aerials), it can only take the definition of its noun form. Adjectives do not have singular or plural forms and never get an "s" at the end. It is a preposition of location(stating something is somewhere). "Aerials" is a plural noun and the subject of the sentence. "In" is the preposition(in this case, expressing relation to the place) and "the sky" is the place. Circus Acrobats are performing "aerials in the sky/so up high..." For even more context, the beginning of the video shows a circus tent, which is a place where acrobats perform.

@aranthur 11 месяцев назад

That line, "Always want to play, but you never want to lose," strikes me as a reminder that every life ends in death, but not in a bad way? Some people refuse to really accept that, they want to live but they never want to die, and instead of appreciating the time they have they live their lives in fear of losing it It's a pretty beautiful line

Your question about the music, aparently Malakian was asked in a Variety interview about the instruments used. "There is a mandolin, there was some banjo and there was an actual sitar on “Aerials.” I had never played one before so I kind of winged it." -Malakian

@KerriGilpin Год назад

Thought it was a sitar, but I hear the mandolin now too!

@clear804 Год назад

Yea sounded like sitar but was confused if it was any other similar sounding instrument

@beetlebob4675 Год назад

My friend did that. Lol. He's such a bro, but he's also an unexpected musical prodigy. 😆 threw me off. I knew he was gifted, but years ago i finally understood when he unpacked the fresh sitar he'd just gotten and had never played before, and plucked out something badass in 30 seconds. I've heard him play music for years now. Has his own thing going. It still baffles me, though. Lol

@supahfly2106 3 месяца назад

If you look at the album credits it shows that he is playing the sitar on most of this album. It gives the sound more of an eastern, or more ethnic feel. Along with the vocals you definitely hear the Armenian influence mixed with the western rock , and metal infusion. When they debut, they literally sounded like no one else.

@UltimateGamerCC Год назад

to think Metal is so misunderstood, but when someone comes in with an open mind, they find themselves enthralled, enamored, and wanting more. with so many sub-genres and styles, Metal has something for everybody, they need only to seek it out.

@regib1992 Месяц назад

I hear metal but I feel hiphop in this! First time I heard it I was like “wow! This is like hiphop in metal form!” I was hooked on this group ever since and were talkin when this song first dropped! 🔥🔥🔥

This band is one that honestly doesn't have a bad song. Album to album, they consistently put out great songs. Their more recent song "Genocidal Humanoidz" is fantastic

"...one again after the fall" To me, that also spoke to people coming together after chaos, war and tragedy. We commune after the churn breaks us apart. ❤

@unclefoot Год назад

Love your take on this!!! A lot of SOAD’s music is rooted in existential/religious themes. I’m sure other commenters have pointed out the bands Armenian heritage. That heritage plays a massive role in their music. Both sonically and thematically. Great band. Keep ‘em coming! Cheers

@mightyreborn8071 Год назад

So many good ones from SOAD to dive into. I always recommend P.L.U.C.K or Holy Mountains, as the message of those songs are a big part of who System is and what they've tried to bring recognition to over the years (the Armenian Genocide).

@OnyxANZ Год назад

Holy Mountains needs far far more people reacting to it. SOAD fans know of it as a masterpiece, while nobody else knows it exists, it's sad. I guess in a way.. it's poetic and represents the contents of the song..

I love how this band has only two kinds of songs: super deep and meaningful ones like this and B.Y.O.B., but also stuff like Vicinity of Obcenity and Bounce... that are also deep when you actually read into the lyrics, but not as obviously as the other ones.

@SaulTNutts-no6js Год назад

The string instrument sounds like a sitar (common in India).

@andrewjuby6339 Месяц назад

Something like that, yeah. They're Armenian, so I've always figured it's probably an indigenous instrument that's a close cousin.

@RusZugunder 11 месяцев назад

Man, turns out i didn't listen to most of the SOAD songs in years. Just saw your reaction recommended and decided to listen how you would like the group... Apparently i've never heard them after learning English, lol. As a teenager i just liked how they sound. This particular song brought me back to the time when i had no PC or any gaming console, but was very much into gaming. I was so much into it in fact, that i've not only endlessly annoyed anybody with gaming system with my constant visits to them with the intention to just sit at their place and play games for hours, but i also spent nights watching that weird TV channel that was rolling gamplay montages all night. One of the friquently played montages was cs 1.6 or css gameplay with this song played over it. P.S. sorry my English, and sorry for a bit of a blog i got here😁. Just a strange memory that hit me in the face.

@jimmydean7219 Год назад

Love watching you react to the stuff I grew up with. I get to experience the music again for the first time vicariously through you. Someone in the comments already recommended avenged sevenfold, which I second. A good start off song for them would be “after life.” Whatever you do, wait until you’re familiar with him before you do “a little piece of heaven,” no matter what anyone else says.

@Desu-Desu-Chan-San Год назад

The instrument in question at the end is a sitar.

@higgs3040 Год назад

Although Daron Malakian said in some shows that “Aerials” doesn’t mean anything, the overall theme of the song is our mistaken views of ourselves as being individual and isolated from the rest and how we actually are a tiny part of something greater, from which we come when we are born, and to which we go when we die.

@thecube17 Год назад

something that i would recommend listening to would be any song off of Shinedown's Planet Zero album (or all of them)

@caitrinmcfetridge8889 Год назад

Yes! 100% agree with u. Shinedown is amazing and we need a Knox react to them!

@Koray.K Год назад

"We are the ones that want to choose, always want to play but you never want to lose" I think that's a reference of not accepting death as a part of life. We always want to have fun and have great moments in the life, but at the same time trying our best to avoid death even tho it is part of life too. Losing is a part of game, someone has to lose for you to win. Such as the cycle of life.

K but why are you sooo good at this!? Best reactions.

@avm4477 Год назад

I believe the instrument that you hear at the end is a sitar, Indian/Central Asian origins, it’s like a guitar but also very different with the shape, amount of strings, the notes that those strings play and also that distinct sound of airy, legato notes. It’s a very unique, difficult but also interesting instrument, George Harrison of the Beatles would actually play some of it on some songs like “Love you too and Long, Long, Long.” Hope this helped!

@DarionJackman 10 месяцев назад

I was looking for this comment- I am not a musician but I took a couple of theory courses. I hear a sitar when he questions it just after 8:23. I would like to be corrected by someone who knows what they are talking about ;-)

I recall seeing an interview with the bassist and he said the song is actually about handicapped people. He said to imagine a handicapped boy in a wheel chair going to the circus and sitting front row watching the acrobats do their aerial maneuvers he's enjoying himself but he's sitting in that wheelchair knowing he will never do what they're doing. It's about the dark reality these people face and us that don't suffer from such things take our lives for granted. It's actually summed up quiet well in the music video if you pay close enough attention.

This takes me back to 2000-2001 being in middle school. As far as Nu Metal bands they came out swinging. Everyone knew who they were then. Their sounds was like nothing before. Just like Linkin park at that time....Korn & Limp Bizkit where big then too. Anyways 9/11 fucked up a lot for that band... as the lead singer is middle eastern. They got so much hate mail during that time & death threats. Super sad. Anyways that's a band that had so much talent/ a unique sound and changed the rock game at that time.
