Sup! Just came across this. Y'all reaction is awesome and comments afterwards made me smile. I am the original bass player for Hurt, and I remember writing this song back in 2003. Y'all can look me up on Wikipedia. And ma'am please don't cry. And Vin, I like how you thought we would be soft... Haha! I can't tell y'all the background of the meaning of the song, out of respect for J but I will say I'm GLAD y'all could make a positive message from it. Thank y'all for the love!!
Damn, I have been listening to this song for a while now. I love the absolute terror in this song. I had lost my baby girl to a mother that snapped and well.... Nothing good happened. I am not saying this is what this song is about. But it makes me think of the life that was taken too soon. I cry everytime I hear this song. It is cool to see you coming on here and giving props to Sori and Vin! I know I am 2 years behind the comment. But I just wanted to say thank you to you for such an amazing song. (I know it wasn't just you writing it, but you're the one here)
Shawn...met you guys years ago at a show in Portland. You guys were a special band. One of my girl and I all time faves. J is a special talent. Hope all is well man.
VinAnd Sori theres a few songs where the band/singer adresses disillusion of faith, such as "talking to god", but "how we end up alone" is a powerful song, its pretty raw in depiction of self reflection. Especially the music video cuz it deals with through the eyes of someone with dementia
Vin, Sori, you guys really get into the meat of a song and there are a lot of good ones from this band. Abuse, Addiction, Faith(lack there of), "bad" Love, these are all really common themes. The music video for "How we end up alone" can give more insight into "Rapture". I know since these are the underground series, you probably want to keep introducing new bands. But this group is one hell of an experience, and I can recommend quiet a few amazing songs: Personal Favorite, that got me through my childhood friend's death: "Alone with the Sea". Heavy songs: "When it's Cold", "Another Time", "That(such a thing)", "Aftermath", "Loded", "Abuse of SID" **(I realize expecting them all to be recorded is insane, but do look them up on your own time.)**
@@VinAndSori I would love to see more Hurt from you guys! Summers Lost, Talking to God, Got Jealous, Abuse of SID, House Carpenter, there are too many good ones that I know you guys would have a party trying to figure out and I'd love to hear your opinions. Much love!
I'm not gonna lie, several of this bands songs make me cry. J has the rare ability/talent to make you feel the emotions he had when he wrote these songs, especially when you see them live. Seeing this band for the first time was life changing, and I'll be forever greatful to them for doing what they've done for music in general. So many bands these days could learn so much from hurt, and maybe pull the music industry out of the toilet.
The child was brought into the world. One more thing it looked like me back when it breathed. Rest in peace. Look up the history all of the singer. He hated religion and it was because of his upbringing.. this is a very tough song to get through and if you follow to the next album with ten-ton brick you might get some more. You guys are doing great. You have a long way to go before you get really messed up people and how they operate and think. God bless you both
Hurt got me through two very difficult times! They are highly underrated! I cry still to this day when I hear this particular song! But hurt is my all time favorite band!!!
Poor Sori, your just singing along and digging the song. Then bam the end line. You can just see the horror in your face. Great song!!! Great reaction!!!
Same story! Saw them live in MN like 5 times in 3-4 years and even with all the line-up changes the oldest to the most recent songs are just amazing. Majorly underrated band.
Also this first abum from this band is one of my all time favorites. So many good songs like Rapture, Overdose, Falls Apart, Unkind, House Carpenter... Just so powerful and amazing
Vol 1 and Vol 2 from Hurt are still to this day some of the deepest albums i have ever heard, i got to see him live and the passion he puts into his performance was insane!
I've loved, loved, loved this band for so many years. They are so underrated. Their songs always make you think and feel deeply, no matter the subject. We need more HURT!!! Thank you for this video; I hope you'll listen to more HURT (please).
I knew as soon as Sori heard the lyrics, she felt exactly what this song meant. That’s kinda how this song is. It slams into you at the end. This is actually my first time viewing your channel. It was posted on Hurt’s page. He sends his thanks for not only listening, but feeling his music. ❤️❤️❤️
I actually think this is a first hand account of what happened to J. Loren Wince, the lead singer. They had an unapproved relationship and she gave birth then killed their baby because of her demented religious views. It's a story of before birth and after.
J. Loren from the band HURT posted this on the HURT Facebook page Someone sent me this. Over a decade later, all of the sacrifices so many have made on behalf of the music can only be justified by folks like this that are willing to feel AND they, live on camera, willingly undertook the uncomfortable process of thinking about it too. For 5 minutes I was together in mind with someone. Through this I felt alive again. A moment of being "normal" and not alone. I hope you stay true and never callous and keep showing art that you find to be of substance to the world. You make it worth it. Thank you for listening. (edit) if you stop by their channel, give them my thanks.
I added this song to my phone, because it’s so good. I enjoy the vids, because they’re usually 20-30 minutes long. Most reaction channels spend 10 minutes on each video, just so they can put ads on the vid. I can tell you guys really enjoy what you’re doing, because you put effort in the vids. Keep up the good work! If you have time, listen to Death Blooms by Mudvayne.
Damn, I was gonna suggest this song. It's such a powerful and emotionally "heavy" song and I knew if you heard it you would feel the same way too. Again, a great discussion afterwards. This video and song stands alone and separate from all your other videos as being immensely moving. Great work.
Vin and Sori please do more Hurt reactions, they need more exposure. Hurt volume 1 is arguably the greatest album in the history of mankind. It’s a shame the world is missing out on such powerful artistic music. Hurt vol.1 Overdose, falls apart, losing, or house carpenter. Rapture is good but you guys are missing out.
Thank you so much for this video. It was also the first song that I heard from this band. I fell in love with the sound and the stories that were told. I was overjoyed when I spent time with the band to find out J. Loren, the singer, is as humble and emotional as he portays himself to be through his music. He doesn't have the alter ego that some musicians do off-stage. This song, and many others of theirs, show how real and raw love and devotion can be.
This song grabs you hard. I remember the first time I heard it and was blown away. It's really amazing how music can emote even the darkest reflections of society
I've been a huge fan of Hurt (and a devout follow of Christ) and this is the most insightful interpretation of this song I've ever heard. This is amazing insight and actually brought me to tears. Great job guys!
I just found your channel and I have loved this band and this song for years. Your real and honest reaction was incredible to see and the knowledge and true faith you both bring to light on the subject was truly touching. I hit that subscribe button fast. Thank you for showing a rational side of the Christian faith. And a loving one. Thumbs Up.
I've been watching your channel for one or two years. But I followed for your reaction only to Metallica or Tool. Recently my phone suggests me to listen to this song by Hurt. I listened to it and I had no air to breathe! Such heavy lyrics make me goosebumps. And I still can't watch your reaction till the end. What a great song and impressive reaction. My respect
Please please do more Hurt. You two were so great to listen to. I think you did J Loren proud with your analysis and it broke my heart to watch the song sink with you both.
I have seen Hurt live and met the guys many times, they are one of my favorite bands and a great bunch of musicians. The first time I really listened to "Rapture" and processed the lyrics, it sent shivers down my spine. It is morbid, and it means what it means. The verse "so she walked in the baby's room, knowing what she would do, leaves me in absolute horror, she put her hands on it's lips and gave it one last kiss" is brutal. We all know what that means. I just hope it's not a true story from J's life. Great discussion, and what reactions our hosts had when they were putting it together! WOW!
The first verse hints to an affair. The second they conceived and the woman kept the baby tho it was not her husband's. Third the guilt drives her to try to fix the mistake justifying it as it was a sin. And the final parts are him reacting to the loss of a child. Because he cannot do anything about the woman doing that to the child that was his without outing his and her discretions. If you watch their live performances of this song you can see the incredible very personal connection the singer has to this song.
I'm digging this song! They are new to me though. I really think "Hurt" is an understatement to the pain this song describes. So sad yet such a beautifully retold story.
I'm a bit late to the party on this one! I was listening to this song today and was going to suggest it for you then saw you already had a reaction to it. Great review. I can see that Sori really felt this one
Sori you have become one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen. I've listened to HURT since the first song I heard almost 20 years ago. J Loren is a musical genius, his word play is beyond comparison...but EVEN WITH ALL OF THAT; it's the EMOTION that he rings from you, just gut wrenching, visceral, true emotion! Whether it's anguish, or disdain or whimsy or love...THIS MUSIC MAKES YOU FEEL!! I asked another person to react to this and she halfass listened, didn't even pay attention to the song, was busy reading live stream comments, then she and her buddies poo pooed and negated the song in one fell swoop! She lost my respect, because THIS SONG is one that just has to be absorbed! Sori, your emotion, I wanted to hug you and say "maybe you can explain to me why I'd EVER believe in the whole 'God' thing?"
This song was about a teenager in the Carolinas who killed her baby because she believed Jesus told her to. Her pentecostal church was extremely critical of unwed teen mothers as well so she killed the baby. Wish I could remember more about it but I do remember it was in the news. I was obsessed with this album when it came out.
Understandably how difficult this song is to swallow based on the subject matter. I agree with an earlier comment that someone stated it would be a hard one to regurgitate; however, from a musical stand point, I really enjoyed the composition. It had nice change ups with some metal flare. I agree Vin, it has that 90s nu-metal feel to it for sure. I am going to reach into their song bag a little deeper on my own and see what more they have to offer. Have a great Saturday Vin and Sori!
So, that was my Christmas video 2019! Haven't seen it before. This song is tough man and (almost) every time either one of you cries I cry too. One day he will wipe away all our tears... Love you guys, too.
Been listening to this song a Lot. Great genuine review, It goes down with songs like Judith by APC as you mentioned. Love both and love this review. Great advice at the end and walking through this with logic. People struggle on the world and it’s great to use logic not just faith to guide your life.
Vin And Sori, it's the first video I watch from you and I liked it so much that you have a new subscriber, Amazing words from an amazing song. The 1st time I heard this song I understood nothing of english and I loved the song, now a decade later and fluent in english I find it again here and wow! I am christian, and at 1st I admite I was shocked with him talking about "destroying God", but giving real attention to these lyrics just WOW, I think just as you fellows do. I loved the song before, now I love it even more! it's in fact true how fanatism, fear and some other things can damage so much a family, and... I mean, if the girl of the song stayed with him from the bigining why to step back for a baby?? Thats Crazy! and is something that really happens! so yeah, that kind of people is crazy. And the man depicted in the song is really amazing... and taking the shoes on a non believer, I would say that kind of things! but after all that to keep talking about "us"... just WOOW!! for me this song has 20/10 points now. "Judith" from "A Perfect Circle" is a good song too, of course I don't agree with the perspective, but these are true feelings of true people, a great song, I don't know if you've reacted to that song but is really good too. I know you may not know even bit of spanish, but you can translate, look for the song "Angel" From the band "Helker" 100% recommended!
You should watch their acoustic version of this track, it's incredible. This band is so very underrated, just like this song many of their tracks are stories that often tug at the heart strings and so full of imagery.
You both did such a great job analyzing/evaluating this song. I'm a long-time Hurt fan, and this was one of the first songs by them that I heard. I heard it in a noisy environment, so I didn't grasp it, but I liked the drums and screams and guitar that I heard. Fast-forward to when I really "heard it" for the first time... and then yes, it hits a different way. Fast forward even further than that, to this week, when I've been rediscovering my collection of Hurt discography (which you should definitely have a listen to if you haven't already!) and the proud father of a 6-month old baby girl. This time, I felt the song. I feel that I've experienced this song three different times, three different ways, that have mimicked my own lifes' outlook and situation at the time. You two, though, hit all three of those realizations just on the one listen. I appreciate your insight Vin and I really empathized with how you felt this song Sori. Well done both of you, truely. New subscriber!
Highly reccomend listening to talking to god, alone with the sea, or pandora. this band is so underrated, some beautiful violin work from the singer aswell
As much as you two were blown away buy this.. How in the actual fuck have you not done more Hurt videos!? Get your shit together you two.. LOVE THE CHANNEL!
Great react video. Like a lot of the other comments, J's post brought me here. Gotta check out the rest of their songs, one of my all time favorite bands. Awesome guys too, always take time to talk with fans after a show.
I don't know if anyone has said this yet cause you guys have tons of comments, but there real meaning behind this song. It's suppose to be base on the lead singers life. That he fell in love with a married woman who was religious. She got pregnant with his child and gave birth (not sure cause some say she didn't and had an abortion) but later felt it was wrong due to her beliefs and then she killed their child. When he was asked about this song he said "I don't want to talk about it. It's too painful". But he created this song to help express and ease the pain. This is from what I have read on other sites. If this is true, it's a truly sad tale that no one should go through.
I'll never forget how I got into Hurt. My young son hearing it on the tv and loved this song. Then I was hooked. All of their albums and I would kill to see them live. They are so underrated and need to do a world tour
J the lead singer wants to thank you for reviewing this song. This band is his life and it is very underrated. I love this band with all my heart. You should take a look at ten ton brick if you want soft lol. Check out all the songs and you will love this band I guarantee it!
Even their soft songs are hard. That’s the mark of a great band because even in a softer song the lyrics and delivery is still heavy af. Hurt is absolutely amazing the most underrated band of all time.
thank you for reacting to this band, their music is amazing but they don't seem to get much exposure unfortunately. you should check out another song by them called adonai from their album the crux that came out in 2012, it was the last album they released. the lyrics of the song would probably give you guys plenty to talk about
This is the very video that got me hooked to your channel. J. Loren from hurt shared this video when you first released it. Is there any chance you guys will make a trip back down to this band sometime, although of you don't I understand fully. Several songs dive in to dark places. Would love if you guys did, I absolutely love this band, but it isn't for everybody. I would suggest Vin do a preliminary listen to some of the other songs
I think he was saying “ because you’re born again, until you’re worn again” the cycle of Christianity being born again, and then worn again, being worn out, or death.
I haven't quite figured out myself whether it was an abortion or if she had the baby and killed it. I think they purposely created the lyrics like that. This song really captivates your attention, I am still drawn to the lyrics everytime I listen to it. An absolutely AMAZING band.
I heard that his girlfriend had killed their kid and killed herself because she heard voice tell her to, this song is about refrences towards his personal life.
I had the same :0 reaction to the song. I first saw HURT, live, opening for AiC. It was like crack for my soul. I've been addicted to them since. I hope you enjoy the rest of their library. J. Loren is truly gifted. Thanks for the video and exposing your emotions. It was truthful. D
Oh and a third thing that I don't think you Vin and Sori would know about but maybe other Hurt fans can concur with me about is the thing that tugged on my heart the most about this album and set it apart form anything I've ever hear was just that repeated strange woman's voice of "I love you so much" thoughout the album..
George Bedrin dude, no lie. I remember listening to this album through headphones while I went to sleep. The end of House Carpenter, once the false ending came and started back, I snapped awake just as the "I love you so much" hit and I was terrified. Lol. But yes, the repeating nature of it adds to the cryptic nature of that whole album.
