PSYCHOTHERAPIST REACTS to XXXTentacion- I Spoke To The Devil In Miami 

I don't think this man understands how much our generation needs him to recognize us so empathetically. People like this are extremely rare.

About it being heavy with the instrumental, X talking about music "What's the point of music? It's not always to have fun. Sometimes it's to help people find themselves because music is frequency programming" A song like this can really connect with you even if it's not as heavy with words, but the frequency within the audio.

Songs I would personally recommend: XXXTENTACION - Snow XXXTENTACION - Never

Anima Vestra translates to “Your Soul”… there’s a lot of theories about this song, when he started music or got recognized it was for his hate and rage literally titling his first official album “Revenge” later down the road he understood the world needs more love and as he changed they say the “Devil” had stopped him from bringing back the positivity.

X utilizes strong biblical references and language throughout this mini-masterpiece. His use of enjambmen is also of note. Crafted to embody his evanescent spirit and dazed psyche, X splits what might otherwise be one line into many-exhibiting his fragmented mental state. The song reflects X’s troubled upbringing, and how pain and sadness have plagued his brief time on this Earth, as shown in the first half. X learns that if he remains true to his selfish/evil side, that he can obtain what he really craves: power and wealth. At the end of the tracks there Anima Vestra is Latin, In English, it means “Your Soul”. It is a part of the latin saying “libera anima vestra” (free your soul).

You should do a big video of listening throughout the entire 17 album by X. It’s a short album (only 22 minutes long) which he said he made specifically for people struggling with depression and mental health so that would be interesting to see you cover.

To me This songs about giving up something you value to get something else in return. But along the way you realize what you ended up with wasn't worth the price you payed to get there. Think about like wasting your time. Alot of biblical references in this song. Its ironic bc X was a preacher of sorts not a religious one but he had a way with words, he was a very inspiring person. musically gifted with His rhythm and ability to create catchy melodies. Even if you didnt like his music, you still talked about it. Ive never seen an artist get so much attention before. So much talent he was gone way too soon. I recommend you listen to "King" next.

Fun fact the beat on this song is sampled from a EDM track called ichor by the artist Alasen in 2016, its so cool to see how different genres of music can merge i to each other and its so surprising that such a dark empty vibe of a riff is used on an EDM track. Music is so beautiful. RIP X 🙏❤️

So this song is intricate, but the story continues through a song called (train food) .. also with the instrumental, he made it simple but on a specific frequency to make you feel a specific feeling. The x rabbit hole is crazy

The best meaning I can give to this song is that it's X's way of acknowledging his darker tendencies and his desire to succeed no matter the price to himself. Before he became famous he used to do a lot of question and answers on his tumbler and some live stream periscopes. He did talk about selling his soul back then for fame but its been about 6 years and it's hard to remember.

what ive always loved about x was the wide range of "genres" he explored and that he didnt hold himself back by only producing songs of 1 genre, you can really tell that the man put his heart in and was just looking to express himself rather than catering to 1 specific audience. hope youre up there somewhere having a big smile on your face jah

As someone that was almost quite literally “saved” by X I can say this was truly one of the first and only songs that genuinely connected with me. As a young kid I never really had someone who expressed themselves the way I felt, I never really had anyone to talk to or lean on. Somehow, someway this song and the rest of his music made me know and made me feel like i’m not alone anymore. He changed a LOT of youths mindset and way of thinking and I think like with anything else, it’s very important we have artists that do so without fear of being “different”. X showed me it’s truly okay to be myself at the end of the day.

I think the long instrumental gives you time to process what you have already heard. Its like the song wants you to start thinking deep

Juice WRLD - Inner Peace & XXXTentacion - Before I Close My Eyes I’d love to see your reaction to either of these!! Keep up the absolutely phenomenal work!

Watching this in April 2024, still an active listener of X, Peep, and Juice. Still my favorite artists. X was quite an intelligent individual. He was more of a poet than just any rapper.

This song is such a masterpiece. He is preaching a lot that you can take extremely literal, but it's also sooo symbolic. One of the only songs that hits deep for me.

Also would be cool if you could react to songs like "Snow", "Train Food", or "In the end" by XXXtentacion. In my opinion those X song's have interesting and meaningful lyrics to react to.

no way you actually reviewed this one you're so awesome tom steven

I just found you're chanel and I'm loving it. These videos help me so much, thankyou, lots of love ❤

To start the three songs I will speak about are correlated to one another in this order. In the 2017 XXL Cypher, X, balefully raps about what would be his approach to an apocalypse which was deeply callous and indifferent for human life. He claims that "I seen the devil, He's in you and me" meaning he's seen first hand what evil is and how we all have the potential to be and do evil. He continues rapping about how to murder or an anecdote of him murdering someone (it's inconclusive whether or not he was speaking figuratively or literally here). Further, he boldly makes his first claim of his allegiance to the devil publicly "I am a murderer. I am a demon. Son of a Serpent" alluding to the biblical reference of the Snake (devil) in the Garden of Eden. At the end, he makes us question our own faith by asking "have you felt acknowledgment?" (referring to God) and asking "If I kill you now. Will you go to heaven or hell you believe in?" Then in his next song, "I spoke to the devil in Miami, he said everything would be fine" he illustrates his experience (through various biblical references, i.e. Shepard, Wolf, the apple from the Forbidden Tree of Knowledge) how he was lead... but also willingly.... descended into making a covenant with a "baphomet" a.k.a "the devil." The baphomet would "save him" and give him what he desired most, which was a remedy to his depression, obsession, anxiety, confusion, lust, vanity and sadness. Through wealth, power, women and influence. In return, X, would surrender his "anima vestra" to the baphomet which in Latin means "Your Soul" (here he affirms and confesses although reluctantly and regrettably his allegiance to the devil). After X made the deal, he began to realize that through his confusion and fast pace lifestyle that was given to him by the baphomet he was deceived and in reality he was never going to be "saved" even with all the "remedies" the baphomet gave him. At the end of the song, he repeats "anima vestra" several times in a way that shows clear regret, disbelief, and humiliation in his decision with the baphomet. In his final song (I find this one to be the most tragic and eerie of the three) , "Train Food" you hear the sound of a train braking in a busy train station, foot steps and people talking in the back. X, starts by saying he remembers that day (when he made the deal with the devil), The piano then plays in a melancholic and insidious melody. "I remember I had walked home that day. Content with all my misery. Told myself it'd get better, no clue what there was next for me. Remember there was people, walkin', talkin' in the distance. I was dressed for winter weather. But the summer rays were kissing me, I-I was lost." Here he is in clear distress and in doubtful hope that everything would figure itself out and he would be alright. Having no real idea of what he just did. It continues, "So I took a different path. In the distance he awaited me. Had no weapon, I'm guessin' his hands were just enough for me. Was no question, I'm guessin' he laughed just at the sight of me. I was lost." This is where things start to get foul, the ominous person he is referring to here is the same man he made a deal with in Miami, the baphomet. As he took a different path home, the baphomet awaited X and stared at him with devilish ignominy...he is enjoying the fact that X fell for his deception. It continues, And there he was, his presence was alarming. As he approached, was casual, we talked 'bout self-harming. He told me, "Kid, you shouldn't be walkin' on your own". He smiled and laughed, and pat my back. He asked, "How far are you from home?". I said, "Maybe 30 minutes". His frequency distorted quick, I seen it in his image. I should've run right fucking there, a-" The baphomet then approached X in an arrogant and prideful attitude he patronizes X and talks about self harm and how its dangerous to be walking alone and treats him as a naïve foolish kid. As he asked X how far are you from home and he replied 30 mins, it was immediately then the mans demeanor and aura change into something vile and sinister, X, regrets not running that very moment. It is then in the song that X is pushed onto the train tracks his tone changes and he begins to yell in fear and anger fueled by regret. The baphomet revealed his true nature...ungodly and evil and now he is here to collect his part of the deal. The train itself is a representation of death. The final Verse, "You ever woke up on a train track, with no motherfuckin' clothes on? Death before your eyes, you prayin' to God, but ain't no response. Tryna scream for hope, just a shoulder that you can lean on. But ain't nobody comin', so you scream on and scream on and scream on. While this evil fuck laugh at you. Train getting closer, you still surprised that he battered you. Tears falling harder and harder, minutes get minuscule. Could've had a son or a daughter, now what you finna do? You finna die here on this train track. 'Cause clearly after death, ain't no way you can find your way back. Thinking 'bout your previous memories, going way back. All them fucking dreams 'bout a diamond chain and a Maybach. Now your time finally up. Ask yourself this final question, is you going down or up?. Recollectin' all the moments that you never gave a fuck. Now it's here, death has now arrived, time's finally up." As X helplessly and tearfully lies on the train tracks bloody and beaten up, he hears the train coming signifying his impending doom. He looks up to see the baphomet laughing at him. He calls for help to no avail, he calls for God, but he is alone as he made to decision to surrender his allegiance to the baphomet (his new God). He proceeds to regret the decisions he made, how he could've had a son or daughter and reminisces when the times were simpler. He regrets and thinks about whether it was worth giving up his soul for a "diamond chain and a Maybach" ( reference to the "remedies" the baphomet offered him in Miami) and how him not caring (nihilism) lead to his demise. Even in these moments he is still in disbelief that the baphomet deceived and betrayed him. We see the juxtaposition between the first time he questioned his belief in heaven and hell in his naïve arrogance in the first song and now in this song he faces reality and questions whether he is going to heaven or hell knowing the evil he has witnessed. Unfortunately, he doesn't have time to answer his question as "now it's here, death has now arrived, time's finally up." In honor of X, may he rest in peace.

These videos brings me back to how I felt when hearing X’s songs first. X is the best musician of our generation. LLJ🕊

To stay with the music from xxx, I recommend "a message to tina belcher". And a new one for NF: "Why". Anddd I still hope that Citizen soldier would be the next new artist :) Lovee

everytime i hear the piano it makes the energy aorund me just feels so heavy and claustrophobic its crazy what music can do to you

before I close my eyes is a terrific song by X off 17 one of my personal favorite albums of his

Dont get me wrong I absolutely love XXX's music. However I feel like listening to his music is some sort of trap. I think I have been struggling with a depression for the last 5 years (never had it checked) His music feels so nice when youre in a bad mood. But it pulls you deeper in it. IDK. Like you cant stop listening to it because when youre numb, you'd rather feel sad than nothing.

What I got from the song was that X was in search for his soul, his happiness, his purpose. But in his search he came across things like temptations and other things that lead him off his search, and when he came across something that was bad for him but gave him a temporary answer. And when he was ready to pay the price he realized he had the answers all along. Just wasn’t looking in the right places. That’s just me though.

this song made me realize x is not like other artists and people in general he was such a deep soul that his life doesnt seem real to me, i really love him.

This is definitely one of my favorite X songs, such a beautiful instrumental with his lyrics and voice it’s just amazing

I been waiting for this one so glad you made this video

Thanks Tom! I love how you never fail to recognize and feel the uniqueness of the music itself that these artists create. Especially 🧃🌍 and X have such a unique way of creating music as in when they pick to say certain words or how they say them - how all of that lyrics goes into a unique flow with the beat… so amazing again I love that u hear and feel that just like we do! ❤️

This dude seems so genuinely kind and understanding, gained a new sub

I found this song years ago and I always come back whenever I’m feeling some way, this is one of them nights.

I just recently found your channel and I love it! As a person who depends on meds and therapy to live, I've always wished my therapists were open to listening to some of the music I listen to. Music is what gets me through the day and it's so cool what you're doing!

I'm glad X knows what he craves was already his. This is true for anyone. Nobody can give you what you need because it's within yourself already as you are one with all the universe

YES YES YES thank u I’ve been asking for this one, love what you do man

Yay I was waiting for this one

Keep these reactions coming, I find them comforting 😪

Xxxtentacion !🙏🏻🙏🏻💔

Omg i really cant believe you made a reaction on this song! I just requested it like 1 hour ago and you actually did it , oh my god! Ill listen your reaction right now with massive attention

I always felt like the song and reason behind it is that sometimes some people get caught up in life and are on the last strand of the line and in asking for and inviting negativity and bad spirits into your realm of mind sometimes they end up speaking to the devil and he lies and says everything will be ok to deceive you and encourage more negativity into your life and GRATE VIDEO I LOVE EVERYTHING YOU’VE DONE WITH THE XXX COMMUNITY🙏🖤

Please do Talking To Myself - Linkin Park!!!

Long Live XXXTENTACTION! I’d love you to do a break down of Slipknot’s Heretic Anthem. In my opinion Corey Taylor is our most powerful vocalist left to date. And his Lyric’s don’t really get appreciated as much. X truly was special thank you for this,

i’m stuck binging all these videos these are so good 😭 he needs to have wayyyyyy more subscribers

Thank you for this video!

Love the content and two songs I recommend by Xxxtentacion is Let’s Pretend We’re Numb and Snow

I love watching your videos and seeing someone from a different generation listing to music that they don’t normally listen too, the only thing you missed in this song is when the devil is talking and he says “anima vesta” meaning your soul in Latin.

hey Tom!! im so happy u got around to this song i know a lot of ppl wanted to see u react to this, btw at the end when he says "anima vestra" anima vestra is latin, and it translates over to, your soul, or the darkness within your soul. right before that the devil who he was talking to in the song said "you will have what you want soon, but what I want is already mine. what i think hes saying in these lyrics is that basically he traded in his "soul" which just translates to gaining popularity, wealth fame all that, and basically for that trade he prolly had to make a lot of hard decisions on the way, included with all of his mental trauma which is his "darkness in his soul" and the devil is just saying once again that he has already got his soul and now, there will be no other way to treat or heal the pain. x said in a lot in his songs that you could not get over traumatic events, and that the pain of those occurences would scar and permanantly damage you, and that realistically you can keep moving on in life but they will alwyas stay and be there with u no matter what which all sounds dark but he had a outlook on things that was very different, and i enjoyed his music a lot, thanks again for reading if u had the time too.

Love you man !!! Helping me such much with everything

Love your channel! Would love to see more Dave 🙌🏻🙌🏻

Man, with the trajectory your channel has been growing I wouldn't doubt you hitting 100k subs by April or even sooner! It's been amazing seeing your channel go from less than 5k to skyrocketing towards 50k already in just a couple months or so!!!

Been waiting for this one

Thank you for all u are doing . You are so much needed . You can listen to Train Food which is possibly a part 2 of this song

You should do “train food” too, a lot of people view it as a part two to this song

Can you react to Post Malone - I Fall Apart. Please

I just found your channel and omg I’m so grateful because I love X and his music got me through so much genuinely and it’s nice to hear your insights! Keep making vids 🤍

very nice that you reacted to this song, i recommend the older XXXTENTACION songs like snow, skin, vice vity or WingRiddenAngel.

I love all of your reactions please keep them up they make my day so much seeing you breakdown the lyrics I would love to see you check out take no chance by juice wrld it’s unreleased or it sometimes goes by a different name make it sell hope to see that video soon have a awesome day!!!

Glad you got to fit this somewhere in your schedule and check it out. Appreciate it!

Finally bro I been waiting for you to react to this song it’s really sad about X how quick he came up an then the sad passing of x

BEEN WAITING ON X MUSIC SMFH

Please react to more x his music has so many messages his 17 album is amazing please

You should also consider listening to XXXTentacion - snow

uch a heavy track, I love your breakdown of the songs especially when you add the psychology in there. Really helps understand the song but always my own feelings I am dealing with feels like I am able to make more sense of this confusion. One of my favourite parts about your channel

Thanks for the reaction miss you x..

This is his way of expressing his emotions at the knowledge that his days are numbered because he can’t be as evil as the devil has asked him to be.

Please please check out “let’s pretend we’re numb” by xxxtentacion also. Really good analysis.

Yes this the one I’ve been waiting for

Great reaction, love your take on music, gives me a new perspective on songs i would have never experienced. In fact I would go as far to say you are the best reaction channel on RU-vid! Congratulations on 50k Subscribers!

Would love to see you react to Rod Wave - Tombstone and Joyner Lucas - Ross Capicchioni, there is a story line to both of them so you should react to the official videos. Keep up the great work!

Hey I really think you should react in breaks down the lyrics of bloody Canvas by Polo G. Polo g is a lot like Juice WRLD when it comes to the trauma and drug use. Polo g is a really lyrical person as u can see in your last video. And I think you’ll be really interesting to see you react to bloody canvas by polo g

*_Either this one or "Never" is my favorite XXXTENTACION song_*

Omg I've been waiting for this for so long so happy you did this

can you react to wingriddenangel by xxxtentacion its a very deep song its one of my favorite songs by him

Thanks for the great reaction and insight I love this song so much it literally means so much to me and I love you reacting to X music

Yesss, been waiting on this one!

XXX was a true artist after losing him and Peep and then Juice... their unique rap beats and meaningful lyrics and now they're all gone! Heartbreaking!

gotta react to train food by x next

you should react to the "17" album by x as a whole, it would be amazing to see you breaking it down.

You need to react to ALL his songs 🤩 Gone at the age of 20 but made such a huge, positive impact in peoples lives. Long live Jahseh 🕊

I know I’m late but the beat was made to show the never ending cycle and the length of it without lyrics is what’s unwritten in his story, Anima Vestra in Latin means “your soul”. When X made this song the lyrics told a story that you basically nailed but the beat also had a meaning.

First love your vidsssss!!!!!

You should really look into X motivational stuff. The stuff he did for us and started to talk about once he was fully WOKE. He was always a woke person. Not by luck he was such a smart perso since he was so young. Check his lives , his videos , his speeches before he died. He was a walking angel. He woke me up. I love X , i even made a tattoo tributing him. One day i will meet him. I know it.

Wing ridden angel would be a good song for you to breakdown. Love your videos. Your absolutely helping people and myself.

this song! where do i even begin !!!

Hey man, check out 'scared of love' by juice wrld. Another awesome song which has alot quite some deep lyrics, would love to see you react to it.

I really look forward to these reactions they’re very insightful. I really recommend reacting to NBA Youngboy, I’d suggest All in or Lonely Child

X was trying to master frequency. This frequency offers some closer for the poopy mondays when you get off work late, others a break up or betrayal, maybe a lost loved one. Anyways very memorizing song.

Love your videos and also amazing song choice 🙏

Maybe react to xxxtentacion- look at me is a good song 100% recomend

Great song by X is Train Food you should check it out!!

Thank you for doing these videos X is and will always be my favorite musician of all time he will greatly be missed.. I actually got Anima Vestra tattooed on me for X 🙏🏼 LLJ

I really appreciate your content! I'm a 23 year-old guy, and I relate quite deeply to a lot of the songs you've reacted to. I don't have many opportunities to talk with others about my feelings, and most of the time I prefer not to talk anyway. Thank you for helping me process these emotions, I've sat with them for far too long.

react to xxxtentacion's never music please

X was before his time, Rest in peace Jah

X was an amazing person he had a horrible childhood and stuff he did in the past but changed and wanted to help the youth and helped me through so much LLJ

Yo I was waiting for this one✌🏻

MUCH LOVE FOR THIS ;'[

Watching you relaxes me when you start talking ngl I use to do alot of suicide stuff or put myself in a position to end it my life's hard but when u start talking bout life situation helps me in every way love it man wish to see more videos you should react to lil peep cry baby
