Queensryche (Silent Lucidity) Kel's First Reaction on the Kel-n-Rich Show 2.0 

This is hands-down one of the most beautiful songs ever written. Lyrically and musicly.

Kel’s response to “Silent Lucidity “ was one of the most beautiful reactions I’ve ever seen. Thank you, Kel, for sharing this with us. You have blessed us.

My mom introduced me to Queensryche and I have to give her credit for my tastes in music. It's been ten years since she passed away at 48 from breast cancer. Yet I still think of her everytime I hear this song. R.I.P. mom Tracie L. Miller 05-03-1962 - 08-28-2010 miss you mom.

Who's still here in 2024? I've watched this multiple times and it's always still powerful and magical to witness. Thank you to both of you for being such amazing people and humans. Sending love from the UK. [el'sda2].

It's cool, I'm 6'3" tall, long assed hair, completely tattooed...... And, I'm crying too...….this song is nothing short of Magical....

Some things can't be put into words. Her face said it all.

30 years later, it still makes my cry. One of my all time favorites

The most real, true, wholesome reaction I’ve ever witnessed. Enjoy Kel

Seeing the music move Kel to emotion and watching Rich move with emotion because how it is impacting his wife. Such a powerful and beautiful moment....thanks for sharing.

Kel, I'm a 55 year old man and I am not ashamed to say that I shed tears every time I hear this song. I haven't watched y'all's videos for a while. Pretty sure I saw this one a while back. What a beautiful and pure reaction to a beautiful and pure piece of music.

One of the most beautiful songs of all time.

This song is made for her !!!

It’s been awhile since I watched this and still brings chills every time I see Kel’s reaction to the chorus when it kicks in, priceless ❤️

That's the reaction we all had the first time we heard it!!!!!!...TEARS OF JOY!!!🙌🙌🙌

The harmonies in the chorus are uplifting and empowering. It makes me feel like a child being protected by my parents, encouraged to venture out all the while knowing there is a safety net should I fall. So nice to hear why it affected Kel so emotionally. Great reaction!

This song is magical, and always sends chills. Your reaction should be everyone's reaction.

The songs on this album just melt together beautifully...listen to more...EMPIRE!

I'm 9 years old, and I'm going to watch this video. Suck it RU-vid

Rich, I do have to point out also that we could see your emotions throughout the video, from watching the deep emotional impact the song was bringing out in Kel, to the moments where you had a slight tear in your eye, to the point where you know that the "Second" part was coming up and she would once again hit an internal emotion of pleasure, enlightenment and I am sure some angst from all of her past, just almost coming to a point. Having known her for many years and at the end of the video, you wait... patiently. I have watched MANY of your videos, not all, but many. Rich, did you suspect, that this was going to be one of the songs to open the flood gates of emotions? That Kel would just Let loose and get much off her chest, I tell ya one thing... I cried then, I cried when I showed my wife, and I cried again this evening...... Even 6'2" 245lbs men have soft spots...... ONCE again, cheers from Ottawa.

I'm crying. I have listened to this song for years and never paid attention to the story. Awesome..

At 4:10 it looks like you had discovered the meaning of life and unlocked the secrets of the universe at the same time lol

One of my favorite Queensryche songs. Always felt it had a Pink Floyd vibe to it. Poetry put to music.

That reaction of hers on @ 4:07 secs, is crazy! I know that feeling she's having, because over 20 years later, I still have that same reaction when I hear this song after a long absence. Her reaction by the way, (I'm almost 60) always brings me to tears. That's how incredible that moment is to me.

That was, without a doubt, the most intense and gut-wrenching reaction i have ever witnessed. It was as if I were on that journey with you both, a husband who realized the beauty and power of this song, and ,perhaps, the healing qualities it possesses also, and a wife and mother, who took the journey for the very 1st, and, dare I say, not the last, time, a journey of emotional awakenings and realizations. I don't know if there other dimensions, other realities, Heaven, I cannot prove any of it, but I choose to believe and in doing so, I choose to believe I will see those I have loved and lost again and we will know joy and wonder, as we have never known it. I can only imagine the pain and loss you both have and continue to endure, I pray this song brings some healing, and know that a complete stranger, on the other side of the globe, is sending his love and prayers to you both.

Holy crap... Kel, your reaction made me cry

28 years ago I saw operation mind Crime in LA. About 15 years ago I took my wife to see them in Sacramento. My wife passed away 8 years ago from ovarian cancer but that was the only concert I took her to. Operation mine crime in Sacramento and it was fabulous

This is one of the best reactions videos I've ever seen, the emotion Kel feels is so moving, powerful, easily the best music reactors on here, keep doing what you are doing, through your reactions, I've started listening to other artists I'd never heard of, if you hadn't reacted to them, so thank you both for that

This is one of the BEST SONGS EVER WRITTEN AND PERFORMED! It is so emotional! The words are AWESOME!

What I love about true artists is that you can’t fit them into one clear box. I love when people discover that the same group that brought you Into the Eyes of a Stranger also can switch it up entirely and level you with Silent Lucidity. That’s the power and palette of an incredible artist such as Queensryche and the vocal performance of Geoff Tate in particular! Enjoy!

Okay. I've watched probably 100's of reaction videos...and that was by far the best true reaction. This song still evokes emotions. thoughts and tears from a genuine soul. Awesome video guys. Cheers

My husband passed 5 months ago and when I listen to this song I fall apart.

This song was made for Kel I cry right alone with her every time I look at this beautiful reaction

Poetry in music in it's truest form , this song touchs me deeply and the reaction was priceless

Without doubt the most genuine reaction to a song ive watched anyone have, watching Kel even brought me to tears and watching Rich watching Kel you could see the love he has for her in the way he was looking at her. Great job by both of you!

I want to thank you both, I had never heard of Queensryche or Silent Lucidty, the song is beautiful and the group is soooo talented. So grateful to you for leading me to this. Many blessings

This song gets me - every - fucking - time. I is one of the most emotive songs I have ever heard. I first heard it when it was released back in the day and it STILL affects me just as much. Excellent stuff.

I have recently come to realize that there are differences between listening to music and feeling the music. This is one of the bands that showed me that

The cello at the very end is actually playing the theme from Brahms' Lullaby

Her reaction was so beautiful. I used to sing this song to my daughter so she could fall asleep. She asked me to sing it almost every night. I myself was tearing up with Kel hearing this again missing my little girl so much. Thank you

This reaction video never gets old.

The sheer brilliance of Queensryche is mind blowing. They have stupendous talent right across the board.

4:10. Kel gave me tears of JOY!!!! Help me relive this song!!! Rich at 6:23. Love you man. You knew what was coming the whole song and kept an eye on Kel! WHERE THE HELL IS THE LOVE BUTTON FOR THIS VID!!!!

Love watching you guys. Seeing you get emotional and hearing why you get emotional is amazing, and gets me...well...emotional. Keep em coming.

If someone where to ask me “if there is one song out there that gives you chills, what song is it?” I would respond with simply “Silent Lucidity by Queensrÿche”

I Cried The FIRST TIME I Heard Silent Lucidity To! And Ever Time After...It Just A Beautiful Song With The Perfect Singer!

Kel’s reaction to Silent Lucidity is still my favorite of all time in the reaction game!!! I love how she goes from inquisitive to surprise to excitement and finishing with euphoria. Truly great music should have this reaction like that it does with Make Sistah Cry (check her out too!).

I listened to this song for the very first time via this video when it was intially uploaded, so I have this connection with Kel. I had the same exact reaction as her. Every subsequent listen to Silent Lucidity causes deep emotions to rise up within me and tears to fall from me. What a song! What a great couple! Keep those deep songs coming.

I'm old as dirt and was there when this music was new, Daltrey's primal scream at the end of Don't Get Fooled Again did it for me and I shared your reaction when I heard this composition for the first time, a legendary piece of music. I'm glad that you had the chance to hear it too, well done.

This piece is a musical representation of multidimensional thinking. Spiritual, metaphysical, and psychological. If you listen to it from every aspect, you will hear things that are not apparent initially. This is not just a musical experience. It is meant to show us how limited our perceptive abilities are, and what they could be if we were to look beyond the vale of human understanding. These guys were not a run of the mill metal band. They were light-years ahead of 98% of all the other bands from that era. This song became "our song" for me and my ex-wife. I almost feel sad for newer generations of music enthusiasts and musicians. While I appreciate what the digital age has done for production, I can also see what it has taken away. Thanks for your review of this song.

This song was made for her! I've watched it several times in a row... and I tear up each time! I Love It!! The most Honest, and perfect reactionary video ever!!! God Bless yall!!! Sharing! 😁

This is what great music does, you feel it all through your body and it touches your soul

1st time running across this duo on RU-vid. What a powerful reaction!!! Every time I hear this it brings back very strong emotions. Thanks so much for sharing.

Great reaction, she totally "Get's it"

I really liked your reaction to this the first time around. Watching it the 2nd time....Love it. Kel has her heart and soul into it, genuine and true I’m going to really enjoy the vault.Great stuff!

You can tell Kel took the Queensryche journey through this masterpiece of a song. This a deep meaningful song. Not many songs like this

Saw the premier of this at a Ozzy concert in Long Beach, Ca weeks before it hit MTV

Wow! Just watching Kel's reaction brought me to tears as well. I am a musician like you Kel. Not an elite level classically trained musician like yourself. I am just a guitarist in a rock band and rock and metal have been part of my life since I was very young. I was never denied any of this beautiful music and yet this song brings an emotional response from within me every time I hear it.

My favorite Kel reaction video. Peace

Just watched this video. This song is one of the most beautiful rock ballads ever created and Kel's reaction is... simply priceless. So genuine and intense. And the way Rich looks at his wife, the love in his eyes, going along with her in this small journey. So good.... Definitely the best reaction video I've ever seen. All the best to the both of you and... keep listening to great music. Good music makes life better.

Indeed, thirty years later and I still get emotional listening to this song!

This is hands down the best reaction that I can find to this beautiful song. Watching you both react touched me to the core.

By far one of my favorite reactions from Kel! She gets it... I hope you do too!

This song still has that feel even as a 15yr old when I first heard it .. it’s timeless it reminds me of my youth

one of those songs that stood the test of time so easily..What a great song this still is. One of Chris DeGamo best written songs.👍

One of my all-time favorites. Growing up in an abusive house, this song made me think of a better way to live once I got away.

This is my fave reaction vid from you guys.

Wow! I got emotional watching your wife get emotional during the song and hearing her story after. Love this song and Queenryche

"Silent Lucidity" has an effect that is indescribable. Warm and Soothing, absolutely Beautiful !

Watching and hearing your reactions to this gives me hope that not all is lost in this world. You have truly moved me. Thank You!

So sweet seeing her reaction and knowing where it's coming from. It's a whole new world ... enjoy !!!

Still the best reaction to a song ever. She was completely overwhelmed by this song. It was neat seeing her react to different parts of the song. Very, very cool!❤

That is the most honest and beautiful reaction to this song I have ever seen. I've been a queensryche fan since the 80s and this song has always been one of my favorites. Most fans put this song down, I still don't understand other than they put the band in a box and this song didn't fit in that box. An amazing song

Thank you Kel and Rich for retrieving this from 'the vault'. I hope it will be possible to do the same with many more. I was working through your videos and had hundreds more to look forward to, or so I thought! My reactions are often like Kel's, it is lovely to see.

I don't know what to say. What a great and honest reaction. Thank you guys!!

This is my first time to your channel. I came here because I'd been viewing others' reaction to this most stunningly beautiful song. Rich, I appreciate your sincerity and sensitivity towards Kel's musical experience having not been allowed to listen freely to anything but Classical and, hence, never knowing the full joy, exploration, and expression of the sounds ringing through her soul. I also appreciate your being still so as to allow for her complete, unadulterated experience. Kel, your expressions and reaction to the song were as beautiful and meaningful as the song itself. I was so moved by your tears. Those were tears of joy - the sonic boom and overwhelming beauty of the cacophony of orchestral strings and horns married flawlessly to the sweet edge of guitar, bass, synth, and drums with the haunting of Geoff Tate's voice all in the searing moments validating all your heart, mind, and, soul have ever felt, thought of, and longed for musically. This was amazing, moving, and, beautiful to see. Priceless. I loved it! You have a new subscriber! 💖💖💖

I have chills just thinking about being 3 rows from the front, and taking a picture with the lead guitarist!!! Good times!!!

Love Kel’s reaction. This is one of my favorite songs. I bought a drum kit just to play along with this song

You have a very amazing story. Rich you’re very attentive to Kel...both of you are a great example of a loving relationship

Her reaction to queensryche Silent lucidity was tear-jerking and moving.

kel we miss you and rich reaction to music keep up the great work

good man, her response was genuine and felt to one of the most beautiful songs man has created

I love this reaction!! One of my favorite from you. Nice new intro too 🤟

Wow, tears came with me when Kel's tears came... I never got into this song, until now...! Now I get why so many people love this song. Thank you Kel!

What an awesome couple!! Love you guys ! Thanks for bringing us into your home !

I can ONLY imagine how Kel’s passion world pour out now in her music as she plays now, being musically Free.... Her new found freedom to pour into her piano 🎹

The song moved me But you two elicited a stronger emotion in me. Its nice to see a couple express their emotions and share them with us. Thank you!

Recently found you guys when I saw this song I KNEW what was coming. Thank you for sharing.

This song is always dedicated to my children on their birthdays every year!!! Love them... always!!!

Kell is in a whole different reality While listening to this song. Probably a reality That she needed to go to But did not know how to get there.I Don't know if you are also watching the video while listening to the song,But I would really like to see kel watch The original Video while singing to the song. It just adds a whole other dimension.

This was perfect... I feel like I’ve witnessed every emotion in the purest form. Thank you for sharing, and stay safe and healthy 🙏🏻

Kell, your emotional reaction is completely relatable and easy to understand. This is one of those perfect melodies that can and does invoke so many feelings and memories. Thank you for your honesty and vulnerability in that moment.. You guys are cool people!

Beautiful song and even more beautiful watching you listen to this. Brought tears to my eyes.

I love Kel's reaction to this.

For a metal band, this is amazingly heavy shit. Love the lyrics / music.

One of the most beautiful songs ever written...and it speaks to me the same way.

Kel I call it a musical Rush, that no drug could ever bring. I have had goose bumps and tears from certain music. Let it flow and go with it, it's why I love music the way I do, love you guys

I really enjoy watching, listening to you guys, and ABSOLUTELY love Kel’s reactions to the tunes played. If you have not, check out Children of the Sun by Billy Thorpe...A MUST with headphones!

Essa música e uma das mais linda já composta pelo ser humano , uma obra prima

Scotty is such a good drummer.. That fill at 6:01 during the words "tumbling down" was incredible.

I couldn’t take my eyes off Kel’s face for a second! That was a spiritual reaction!
