Music Teacher REACTS TO Architects "Dead Butterflies" | Music Shed  

I’m telling you, you HAVE to listen to Gone With the Wind by Architects. It was written by their former lead guitarist, the late Tom Searle, after he came to the realization that he was going to die from his cancer diagnosis. It is one of the most angst-ridden and emotionally filled metalcore songs of all time and the vocals by Sam on the track are his best IMO.

Architects are seriously top tier. Now that you have done songs from their 2 most recent works, you should check out either Naysayer or Gone with the wind to really see how their sound has progressed since their heavier days. (Also memento mori if you want to cry)

This video footage was taken from their livestream show at the Royal Albert Hall, which was unbelievably good. Hopefully they'll release the whole thing at some point in the future

More Architects to react to: 1. Doomsday (both versions) 2. Momento Mori 3. Hollow Crown 4. Even if you win, you’re still a rat 5. The entire album ‘All Our Gods Have Abandoned Us’

And I need to comment one more thing: I LOVE when you get inspired by the song and let it dominates you, it's gorgeous!

I just want to let you know that you inspired me to pick up and instrument for the first time since I was a kid. I went and bought a used keyboard for like $30 on Craigslist. I have been practicing for an hour everyday for 2 weeks. It has brought me such joy and appreciation for what musicians do.

Please do a reaction to Silence speaks by While she sleeps. Oli Sykes from Bring me the horizon is in it.

10:45-11:45 should definitely be expanded into a full song. I would pay so much money for that sheet music. That was beautiful. Thank you for sharing!

I love when the reaction song inspires you to go balls out on the keyboard. Let's get some Sleep Token on the channel!

Dude, when you can listen to a song for the first time and play the melody the way you do on your keyboard brings chills and tears! I could listen all day to you covering songs like these the way you played at the end of this video! Keep Em Coming!!!

10:45 that was so beautiful

You reaaaaaalllly need to do gone with the wind AND doomsday. Both not either

as a trumpet player in another life time the horn line in the chorus speaks to me on a spiritual level.

Ooh! If you liked this, you’d love Bad Omens’ latest album. Also, thanks for the food ASMR to start the video, followed by some insane piano skills!

I'd like to see you react to "Wasted Hymn" from Architects as well :)

I love how much David understands the nuances of what make metal today so great. I still maintain that metal has everything anyone could possibly want in music. These are the “classic composers” of our day.

Architects are fantastic. Been one of my favorites for a long time, glad you're enjoying them. Would love to see some Sleep Token reactions (Jaws, The Night Does Not Belong To God, Dark Signs...hell, ANY of their songs). Enjoy the videos!

What the hell was this part...10:40 to 11:45 what a beautiful improvisation blood hell - Goosebumps mode: on! Cheers from Brasil Teacher!

Love this song! Architects are one of my favourite bands, super excited for the new album!

Thank you for reacting to this amazing piece of music! And thank you for the speed concert at the end :) Listening to you play soothes my soul.

I could listen to you jam these songs out on your keyboard for hours mannnnnnn love it

The piano interpretation at 10:39 is just WOW! I ALWAYS watch your videos until the end and hope to hear your INCREDIBLE piano parts that give me goosebombs. It's really really inspiring to me. Keep going!!!

DEFINITELY putting this on my playlist. great video as always, David! :)

Architects are an absolute faveeeee, your reactions and explanations are fricking amazing 😍 You must check out While She Sleeps, particularly NERVOUS!

I love your reaction to this, and I love that clear inspiration at the end with the piano. Its amazing how much you can learn about music you love from someone who maybe isn't a fan, but finds the beauty. :) I love how you break these things down.

HOLLYYYY when he breaks it down with the keyboard

The Royal Albert Hall really is a magical place, and this song fits right into it the same way Bring Me The Horizon's live performance did at the same place.

We all are waiting for the new series: Music Teacher REACTS TO Morning Breakfasts, do it!

I really enjoy how he enjoys all the reactions and music, that's a real musician and teacher🔥 regards from Venezuela!

David is a true musical talent. In awe of how good his ear is and how quickly he can learn a song and transfer it to piano. Bravo

I'll make an entire playlist of Music Shed channel for me to rewatch with some of my friends. I love the reactions especially, when you start playing your keyboard. really nice.

I’m loving your videos, you help me look at music from another perspective, you really appreciate every aspect of the music. I’m happy you’re enjoying the new hard rock/metal being put out. Keep it up broheem. Much love 🤘🤘🤘🤘

best reaction channel on youtube! thank you!

holy shit. that improv at the end belongs on the album. I wouldn't mind architects hitting you up for an acoustic version/piano reprisal ... also gotta say you're definitely the best reaction channel on youtube for music as obviously have a very profound knowledge of music but also a very unique and beautiful way of expressing that knowledge. other reaction channels sometimes make you feel excluded because they know so much about music but aren't able to communicate that in a way a layman can understand without losing any of the information. it's almost as if you are a teacher or something haha

You would really enjoy the uniqueness in sound of Palisades - Let Down. The singer is phenomenal and their instrumental is extremely unique!

This is awesome you listened to this. While She Sleeps - You Are All You Need should be next

I would really like to hear what you think of Two Way Mirror by Loathe

You are the man. I wish I had a music teacher like you growing up! I’d love to see you react to Beartooths “Devastation” or really any Beartooth! Caleb Shomo is one of the most talented musicians I’ve ever seen. Cheers, brother!

Really interesting you picked out the drummer! Dan who is the drummer took over lead songwriting for the band after Tom Searle, his twin brother and guitarist for Architects sadly died from skin cancer in 2016. Now you say it, it would make sense why the song parts are built around the drums; the other major writer is Josh Middleton, guitarist, who joined after Tom’s death. Have watched all your Architects videos as a fan, amazing that you can just pick out the chords and melody and transfer it to piano immediately. Very (jealously) impressed. And yes, Sam is an excellent singer 😁

This song is fire! Your piano playing afterwards was great too. Love this video

Thank you for reacting! It's probably already my song of the year

I honestly prefer these kinds of reaction videos by far! The insight into the pure musical aspects is really cool and interesting.

Man that piano shred at the end was absolutely amazing. Awesome analysis! Edit: I actually watched that piano shred like 10 times. I definitely felt it.

gosh i love ur videos, its so nice to see a person with such a passion to music

You should react to "Another Life" by Motionless In White

Finally David! I’ve been waiting for this! 🤘🏻

Thanks for doing what you do David. This was awesome

It seems like your videos are growing more chaotic as time passes and I'm all here for it! Great reaction as always!

Architects - Animals !

Subbed. Couldn't resist. Love the outro bits at the end when you play with the tune.

I really love when metal meets orchestral! Such an epic and powerful combination. Huge love for this band, cannot wait for their new album to drop!

To answer two of your questions, it was filmed at the Royal Albert Hall and the drummer is Dan Searle. Great video man. I love how you analyse and deconstruct these songs I love.

I love your videos!! I love the analysis of momentum peaks and valleys etc you make throughout, I totally agree that music should take you somewhere and make you feel elevated

I'm a little late to seeing this video and a little late to finding this song. Seeing your reaction be so genuine and the fact that you were so moved by the song, that it made you play something so beautiful at the end made me instantly subscribe to you. Please keep up the good work and if you're looking for another beautiful, yet heavy recommendation, I STRONGLY urge you to review "Three Fountains" by August Burns Red. That song is full of raw emotion and I hope and think it would have same effect on you. Thank you for being one of the people who show what music is all about and continuing to inspire others, such as myself, on our musical journeys. Peace and love brother!

Moar architects lets goooo Check their stuff from the All Our Gods album and Lost Forever // Lost Together

Your guy's content just gets better and better! For another amazingly composed song I have to recommend Aviations // Outliers, several of their members went to Berkeley to study music

Man I love these You gotta check out Ne Obliviscaris. "And Plague Flowers the Kaleidoscope" was used as a teaching example at Sydney conservatoire as an example of masterful composition.

If you're still looking to expand your search to some other bands, there are a few I could suggest that I think you would find to be very interesting to listen to. The top three in a similar vein to Architects would be: STARSET - (I would start with their song called "Manifest.") Celldweller - (I would start with their song called "New Elysium.") IMMINENCE - (I would start with their song called "Infectious.")

I can listen to you all day long playing the piano, I've got goosebumbs, love it!!

Absolutely love this band and this song... it's so powerful! ♥️ its definitely different from their older stuff, but I love it so much!!

10:30 beautiful!

You should def check out "Killswitch Engage" and/or "Light the Torch" with Howard Jones on vocals. Amazing singer, great melodies. The End of Heartache, Rose of Sharyn, My Curse, etc.

Check out Architects "hollow crown" Everytime I listen to it I'm so impressed it's mostly high hat, some side snare drum and some bass drum for half the fucking song. To stay that steady and gentle on drums with some keyboard low in the background and singing, I mean, you can't fuck it up, you have to be solid. Overall amazing and impressive band. And they tear at our heart strings because a lot of their music was written by a man facing death for years. Every song gets me right in the fucking feels thinking about that dude. RIP Tom..

Man I’m happy this channel. You are aloooot more fun and funnier to listen to then a lot of the other reactors. (Not to bash them in anyway) but I like how you know your stuff but also have fun with it. As a viewer it’s way more fun to listen to. Subbed!!!

LISTEN TO DEATH IS NOT DEFEAT - ARCHITECTS

You’re awesome!

Love all your videos!

do room 138 by asking Alexandria, it has a story behind it that brings the emotion out of it and shows the singer, Danny, brings to the song!

Two way mirror by Loathe please!

First time seeing your channel; i like the review.

Loved your improvisational piano playing at the end!

this song made me SOB on first listen and every single time i listen i get a little emotional. i wish i could listen to this song for the first time again

This is great! Subscribed!

You are awesome ❤️

Have spent some time here by watching your reactions to heavy songs. The feelings you show are so sincere and the piano improvisation at the end of the video are very inspiring (even enough to drop some tears ;) almost like I had to listen to the song 1st time again. Btw, their song "Black lungs" is also very cool, so you can check it out. Music rhythm and overall dynamics are so strong as you are at their concert. As you said in some BMTH reaction video "what else than music can have such uniting moments for the crowd?" It would be nice to see your reactions to the following bands, you might like, too. Easy to mention 5+ songs for each, but will leave at least 1 here: - A Day to Remember - Turn off the Radio; - Starset - Ricochet; - Crown the Empire - Johnny Ringo (there's a kind of a song trilogy starting this story); - Of Mice and Men - Back to Me; - Red - Darkest Part; - Dead by April - I Can't Breathe

Doomsday and Hereafter are excellent tracks by Architects that I seriously suggest you react to as well. Doomsday is the last song that Tom Searle got to work on with them before his passing and the majority was written by his twin brother Dan (the drummer). Doomsday is about Tom dying way too young. Hereafter, also written by Dan, is about finally trying to come to terms with Tom’s death and wondering how to move on “hereafter.” It might be my favorite Architects song because of the structure of the song and all of the musical elements within it. The emotion, the angst, and the beauty of these songs is NEXT LEVEL.

Should also do Meteor by Architects too. Such a class band

This was great! I've never heard them before and will be checking out more. I thought it was The Royal Albert Hall, music performed there seems to bring out the best in artists. Unrelated, I would absolutely love to see your reaction/analysis of Steven Wilson's song Home Invasion/Regret #9. That's one of soooooo many Steven Wilson songs that are such incredible pieces of music that he has written and produced. If you have not heard of him, please check him out! He is involved with many other projects but most known as the front man for Porcupine Tree which I became addicted to when I discovered them in mid 2000s. I think you will really enjoy. The live in Tilburg performance of 'Anesthetize' is a masterpiece and one of the best live performances of a song from a band that I have ever seen. Phenomenal! Have a great day David!

The intro was great lmao

Awesome and informative reaction .

I beg you to make a reaction to Periphery - Absolomb! I’m sure you would love the band😁 The singer has an incredible vocal range, both clean/scream

You should check out some ERRA - Divisionary or Snowblood!

Dave, you would absolutely love Sleep Token. Highly recommend their single "Jaws"

This from their live stream at the royal albert hall

I’d love to see you covering more artists like this! Like Counterparts! I’ve seen em live probably 25 times, they’re a great group of guys. Counterparts was supposed to tour with Architects the year that Tom Searle passed, so it was understandably (and unfortunately) cancelled.

Ok,now you know a little bit prog-ish influenced hard rock/metalcore,it's time to spiral out and check out Liquid Tension Experiment's The Passage Of Time.If you ever wondered what a drum,bass,guitar,keyboard combo can do these guys have it ALL.Prepare for your brain to melt.I'm aware that I don't know a lot of music out there but the chemistry of these guys are like a needle in a haystack to match.

Architects Memento mori is my fav song

You need to react to some dayseeker, like crooked soul would be my favorite. Please!

Badass piano work btw man

Man I love this man’s energy

I need a piano cover of this song right now thanks

One man acoustical jam ESTES TONE THE FLIGHT OF THE GOLDEN DRAGON ..

You’re an incredible musician. As a huge Architects fan, your piano freestyle was better than the actual song 😂

"It was very long... (that's what she said.)" xD

I'd love to see a reaction to Captives, either their song Glass Heart or Signs

You should look up what they call "architects tuning" for their guitars.

You should check out Affiance! They are incredibly talented and I KNOW you'd love them.

You HAVE TO listen to either Deathwish, Gone With The Wind or A Match Made In Heaven by Architects!!!

I would love if you reacted to any of Starset's songs! My favorite is into the unknown but if you want something more recent I liked diving bell (bc I'm obsessed with its ending lol)

Holy Ghost as a whole. This documentary will break me down 100% of the time.
