I lost my husband, the love of my life, thru a senseless, tragic accident 18 months ago and I've felt so alone and lost. But this song has put things in perspective for me. Thank you Angelina, for this beautiful and truthful song!!! R.I.P. Carlos
A lot of people have lost someone just this year, but it applies to anyone who has ever suffered the loss of a loved one. Now go re-watch this with the camera off and have yourself a good cry. You'll feel much better afterwards.
She wrote this memory of her Grandpa. And to anyone that has lost a loved one. In hopes that it helps the healing. She said in a interview that when she was recording it that there was tears running down. But she nows fills relieved Angelina does Two covers of Amy Whinhouse Back in Black ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ICY1uJe15cM.html And Valerie ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Bv0r77KN7RA.html Great Reaction and sorry for your lost
You multiplied our already established respect we have for you by your response to this creation. It is refreshing to see a young man with so much empathy and letting us share the warmth of his love for his "Mum." How proud of you she would be.
In the American Songwriter interview Angelina revealed how she felt while recording this song. “When I was in the booth, while I was singing, my tears were running,” she says. “To be honest, it was like a feeling of relief that all my feelings were written down and I felt relieved.” That speaks volumes about Angelina’s ability to transfer her emotions to her audience, who in turn will feel the same. What a beautiful gift to anyone who has grieved for the loss of a loved one. Angelina is truly a gift to us all.
For those who would like to see Angelina sing her fourth original song in a recording studio and admire how she is growing with grace, elegance and sobriety, go to AngelinaJordanVEVO. Merry Christmas to you and yours and may the new year 2021 be for you all a year of prosperity, health and happiness.
She's the best. That's all there is to say. 14 years old writing a tribute song that everyone in the world can relate to... Especially in these times. It's sickens me that trash like Cardi B is famous at all when someone like Angelina Jordan is among us. Angelina is the role model girls need...hell, she's the angel the world needs. My father died in February. I have 6 sisters so I had to be strong but even when I was alone I wondered why I never cried...if there was something wrong with me. When I heard this song I finally did. Everything I was holding inside came out and I needed that... Angelina gave that to me. I will forever love this girl. God-bless you bro.
I just spent a good 40 min crying at your reaction. This song broke me. I am so sorry for your loss and I thank you for your vulnabilty. Your mom is proud of you I'm so sure. I had to leave a job working as a nursing assistant at a nursing home 3 months ago bc I couldn't take the mental health toll anymore. It literally fu*king killed me to go. Bc I care so much for them. But I can only handle ao much death in a year while trying to survive myself amd raise 2 young kids. Hardest decision I ever made. I held over 20 hands in the last 4 months of people's loved ones I loved as my own family, as they took their last breath so they didn't die alone. And I nearly took my own life from the pain. My son is 12 and my daughter is 2. I had to walk away to get help to stay here for them. And I still can't let the guilt go that I'm not there holding a hand as they pass to heaven. People I took care of for years and truly loved. I feel I will be recovering for the rest of my life from this past year. I will never be the same. This song broke me. Please reach out to family working in Healthcare. Especially elderly homes where death rates are high. Before 2020 I never saw someone die. I left my job a few months ago now to seek critical mental health help after watching my 28th resident die, in my arms or holding my hand on my shift, so they weren't alone. I will never fully recover. Many won't either. Fu*k you 2020. And for the love of Humans be kind and and hug a Healthcare worker. Many of us are now barely hanging on after what we had to do, but willingly and happily did bc we loved your family member or loved one as if they were our own. To the 28 patients I held last, I will try to live every day for each of you. And I will never forget you, the words you said, and the messages I will get to your family. This song is beautiful but it also breaks me.
Your response is exactly what this song is for. Most folks, of course, don't 'crack' in public, but letting the tears flow is not only healing, but schools us in empathy. We all need that so much right now! Thanks for following through and sharing your gut reaction with us!
Think about this for a minute. 14 year old Angelina Jordan wrote, composed and performed a timeless debut song that will always be relevant as long as human beings suffer the pain of losing those they love. IMO, This is a master work. It came from the heart and mind of the most supremely gifted young and multi talented artist in the world.
Man, don't apologize for your feelings. That only makes your reaction real. This song is heartwrenching. How could you not feel it when she herself had tears running down her face when singing it for this recording?
A real man is not afraid of crying, because that means that he can acknowledge true feelings and not do some "pretending" not to be affected. Good for you! :-)
This song is brilliant because it absolutely pierces straight to the heart in a beautifully safe way. I also cried for my mom with everyone, and I'm so grateful to Angelina for such a song, and grateful for reactors like you who post honest, heartfelt reactions. 🙏🏼💕
Soooo beautiful made me cry too Rip to your lovely mum this was absolutely gorgeous stunning thanku so much no need to apologise think you are so lovely so genuine an fun love an god bless x
Angelina said that she was thinking of her grandpa when she wrote this, but her message is so powerful that it immediately connects with anyone that has lost someone special. She is such an incredible artist at only 14. For years her vocal skills have been on their own level... and I think in the coming years we are going to see her song writing skills create their own level also ;) Now that you have reminded yourself how great she is, don't stay away for so long this time :) Maybe check out something from her cover channel. Pick literally any one... it's all gold ;)

What a beautiful gift to anyone who has grieved for the loss of a loved one. Angelina is truly a gift to us all. Thanks for your reaction. This song was recorded before she signed with Republic according to Angelina. One of the producers played the song for Republic founder and CEO Monte Lipman, and that’s when he said he wanted to sign Angelina. Stargate, the producer duo (Tor Erik Hermansen and Mikkel Storleer Eriksen) has produced or written for Michael Jackson, Mariah Carey, Lionel Richie, Wiz Khalifa, Britney Spears, Beyoncé, Rihanna, Selena Gomez, Rita Ora, Normani, Mis-Teeq, Celine Dion, Blue, Janet Jackson, Shakira, Jennifer Lopez, Sam Smith, Mary J. Blige, Ne-Yo, Katy Perry, Coldplay, Pink, Sia, Whitney Houston, Nas, Chris Brown, Khalid, Charli XCX, Trey Songz and others. They have been nominated for 17 Grammy’s and won 4. Quite a famous list of artists and recognition, which now includes the future legend Angelina Jordan. BTW, Angelina posted on her Instagram story (Nov. 12, 2020) a video of her in a professional recording studio. To me, if this is a recent video which I believe it is, means she's able to finish her album in L.A. This would be great news to all Angelina fans.
She is an Angel. Been here before and we have been waiting for her message. Her name, her voice and her power to make us here her. Angel in a descend(Jordan) AStar
Thanks for your great Angelina reaction! So sorry for the loss of your Mum. This song is stunning, isn't it? If you were to watch all of the reactors on RU-vid so far who have done this one, you would find that most of them had the same reaction as you - tears and talking about loved ones lost. Some of them even broke down sobbing. I've always said that Angelina doesn't sing songs. She sings emotions that go directly to our souls to create beauty and love. Come back with some more reactions to Angelina. Her fans can't get enough of them!
Every loss of somebody and the pain is individual, but it conforting to know that we are never alone. Thank you for sharing with us and thank you Angelina.
Great song, well written, amazing performance! Such a mature and emotional treatment of a difficult and personal subject. So young and so mature most people especially at 14 years old are not able to verbalize their emotion in such a way. BTW you should listen to her cover of "I'd rather be blind" if you're in for beautiful surprise.
Angelina not only uses her larynx, lungs & diaphragm to sing, but also her heart & soul. That's why we all feel so emotional, because of where she's coming from.
So very sorry for your loss. That was a beautiful, heartfelt, reaction, Liam. And I felt your pain. Here's what I wrote on another channel about this Incredible song and performance: One commenter suggested that this song will become an "anthem" for this pandemic. And I agree. While the song is definitely cathartic for Angelina "when I was in the booth, while I was singing, my tears were running... it was like a feeling of relief that all my feelings were written down...”, also many people who have suffered unbearable loss (like yourself) will find the song and her performance a solace to their pain and anguish. I've listened to it more than 50 times now, and I find myself singing the words in my head---so beautiful and so touching. This is the fourth song that Angelina has written and performed, and I can see the progression in her poetic depth and acuity. And her voice is simply Magnificent! I have to remind myself that she is only 14 years old. She recently communicated with members of her patreon, and I can tell everyone that she is well and happy, and truly enjoying the entire process of producing all the songs on her new album. Thanks again Liam, for your thoughtful and heartfelt reaction. 💕💕
She started writing this after her grandfather died . There's an even better video , shot with a younger Angelina doing things with family . If you cried over this , you would totally lose it over the other .
Liam many thanks for sharing your tears with us. God knows I have cried countless times to this song. I have finally properly grieved the loss of loved ones from recent years. I have reached a good place now, knowing I am will never be alone with Angelina in my life along with all of her wonderful fans, which someday will include every person on Earth.
Great song, great reaction. It was great to read Angelina saying this. Thank you Republic for letting her do her thing. "When I was finishing the song in the studio, one of the producers played the song for [founder and CEO] Monte Lipman. He wanted to sign me to Republic, to give me the opportunity to share my love, my music. I believe at that moment Republic saw my vision and understood me.”
Hi Liam!! ! Thanks for your excelent react and comments. This song should be a big success because she's giving a kind of gift to everyone (all of us) everywhere. Millions of people are feeling involved in this tribute of Angelina (14 y.o. - born 01/10/2006) to her grandfather. Great song from a great angel sent to Earth to make us better anyhow. Thanks Angelina for your another musical gift. I'm sure there are a lot of tears falling worldwide. Emotional tears before a beautiful song. Regarding to new songs, Angelina's been working on a new album during last year. I'm sure its launch won't be late but now she's signed with Republik Records, and has an additional production work in order to release a fantastic album. We must be patient by now. See you in next reacts! Stay safe and healthy. Peace & Hugs from Barcelona-SPAIN.
So sorry for your loss, Liam 😢 I assure you that this song from Angelina has taken many people off guard as they could totally relate to Angelina's own experience of loosing her grandpa and missing him every day. I hope you found some comfort in her message, knowing in your heart "you're never alone" Our loved ones live on inside of us 💖 Musically this song is as honest and genuine as can be, with the subtle piano and strings accompaniment and drawings done based on those done by Angelina and her grandma. An outstanding debut for 14 year old Angelina!
In the 18 times I’ve heard this song I have never not teared up. Couple times cry. I can’t explain but a lot of it is for her. Knowing the connection, she had with her grandpa. I remember from 40 years ago mine, and wish to this day I could just touch his hand. I imagine her feeling the same only more raw, and the tears just fall.
Thx for a great review, Liam.. I’m so sorry for your loss. I lost my dad in July and as I live on the wrong side of the Atlantic, I didn’t make it back to Norway in time to say goodbye to him. I listen to this song every day as it helps me process and heal. She is a unique young girl, and as you say, her voice is so beautiful and she has a fantastic ability to convey her messages. The timing of this song with everything that is going on in the world could not be better.Thx again for a great reaction..
Hi Liam. I am with you brother. I lost my mom this year and this song hit me hard as well. But I also was comforted by the message that Angelina conveyed in the song over and over, “you are never alone.” The song is at once extremely sad but also totally uplifting. Strange that it would take a 14 year old Norwegian girl to help me through the loss of my mother but there we are.
Angelina wrote this about her grandpa and how it hurts to loose someone but she also dedicated it to everyone who’s lost a loved one she said on Instagram (I hope this song finds a place in your heart as it comes straight from mine)she also said she had tears running down her face while she was singing the song her grandma Mery Zamani did the animation for the song This song was well worth the wait it’s just amazing she is already a superstar as far as I’m concerned I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve listened to it she’s 14 her birthday is January the 10 so she will be turning 15 very soon Love 💕 from Denise in Yorkshire England 🏴🏴🏴💖👸🏻👸🏻👼👼🦶🦶👍👋😘XX
Thank you Liam for a lovely reaction, so sorry you lost your mum. Angelina is the best remedy for soothing your soul, from someone you lost. Just amazing artistry, and voice. Her soul is determined to bless us all grieving. I lost my MUM in April, so this song has a very special place in my heart, I have been sobbing to this song as it brings her to light again, at least in my heart. On a lighter note, I couldn't help but chuckle when you said that the sign with MUM would come out the wrong way. I know exactly what you mean, if you look at that sign reading it from the reflection in a mirror, it will read from the end to the start of the letters so SO would become OS. However, looking at a sign shown by you will come out the right way as far as I can tell?! And then it basically would still do it even from looking into a mirror, because MUM is still MUM reading it backwards !! So I had to laugh, sorry for the rambling, and take care.
Man, now you made me cry 😢 Best reaction to this song 🙏 I am sorry for your loss. This song made me think about my dad who passed 2011 and brought the tears again. So you are not alone 💕
Been writing since I was 10 (53 years ago - not as a profession, but because I love it), and in that time only 2 analogies I've ever seen have managed to make my greatest of all time list. The first was most likely written by Bernie Taupin, but sung by Elton John in his song "Nikita", and went, "with eyes 'like ice on fire' ". The second was both written and sang by Angelina Jordan (for this song) and goes, "like an empty bubble to be thrown". How perfect are both of those? I hope to hear much more from Ms. Jordan, but if I should pass on tomorrow, she should know Bernie Taupin made me happy once, and she did it once again before I died! Thanks Ms. Jordan (and you and Elton also Bernie).
I'm very sorry for your mom, these are terrible times for those who stay, Liam. Thanks for your beautiful reaction with new song Angelina's It was the same reaction for most of us, her voice and emotion take you away. ❤️ I trust in Angelina's ability, in her sensitivity and in her intelligence not to distort herself. She said she wrote a lot of songs, we'll see if it her always proves. It's definitely a good start with Republic, a sweet and intense song dedicated to the grandfather and the people who have lost someone, but also full of hope, with beautiful lyrics, especially for a 14 year old girl, and her voice ... always, charming and so from "Angelina". ❤️ ❤️ Apart from everything I found his lyrics absolutely beautiful and emotional, certainly different, but not for this not good. Her song binds you, you can hear it a hundred times, I'm on track to do it and it involves me every time ... and I love grandma's drawings, they are so "correct" for Angelina's voice and story. Angelina's slow progress up the steps towards the moon is an infinite sweetness, it's a beautiful portrait of her 🤗
Liam, Sorry for your loss. Angelina lost her grandpa a couple years ago. I lost my mother about a month ago now. This song is a balm to me, capturing the connection and appreciation I have for my mom even though she is a million miles away. It is beyond belief that a 14 year old can express such sensitivity that brings expression to my feelings, grief and relief from sorrow. I hope you find solace in this song, as I have.
Liam, we love you, man. Angelina did this for her grandpa but she hoped she would comfort other people who had similar experiences. Mission accomplished, eh? Come aboard my friend and join us on her journey. Everything she does radiates love and she has touched your heart.
So sorry about your mum loss. You are so so good in your review and reaction thank you so much love the tears so real and genuine...to lose your mom....come on anyone with any heart would cry
I’m sorry for your loss. Thank you for sharing your emotions and please don’t be sorry for doing that. When I first heard this song, I remembered my grandmother who passed away more than 20 years ago. I was very close to her and this song hit me hard. Angelina said in an interview that her tears were running while she was in the recording booth, but she felt relieved afterward because she was able to put those feelings into words. Thank s again and keep up the good work.
thanks for sharing your lost. Angelina kind of pulls your heart out, plays with it and then puts it back, all wrinkle... and everybody likes it apparently. She is making most of people reacting to this song cry. Also, never apologize for crying on a video reaction. Crying makes the video 10 times better.
Ilost my grandma the woman who raised me i connected to no one but her she was the only one to know the real me and understand me this song is strong enough to connect people as one and bring others together people who lost someone beyond important to them understand and related to every word in this song
Angelina Jordan has released her LIVE STUDIO version of this song where you can watch sing in person! It's a must watch even though you already reacted to the Lyric video. It will touch you even deeper to watch her sing to her grandpa. I look forward to it and so does everyone of her other fans! Ron from California
I'm sorry for your loss. I know how it feels. Angelina's song is so healing for me, though I cry every time I listen. Tears are healthy and love never dies. Please keep on the Angelina train, and consider reacting to her cover of Amy Winehouse's Valerie, for a completely different emotional trip!
Angelina is expressing a beautiful sentiment for her grandpa that allows us to come along and think about the one's we have lost. Angelina is a genius and makes her music real for all of us to enjoy in our own way. Sometimes it allows us the emotions we need to carry on. God's gift to our world, how lucky are we? Nice reaction Liam, sorry for your loss, and all those out there letting Angelina's song speak to them. Thumbs up sir.
I feel you brother. I lost my mom a few years back and my brother not long after. There isn't a day that goes by I don't feel a little lost for not being able to talk to them. While sad, this song also gives me some comfort. Angelina is just amazing. She never fails to stir emotions in me.
So this is a reaction channel, you are giving us your honest reaction, and then apologizing for the reaction? Come on man....no shame in a few tears. She does it to us all. That's Angelina. It affected you exactly the way she intended it to. 👍👍
Beautiful reaction Liam to this beautiful song!!!! I'm so sorry for your loss. God Bless you and stay safe from a Angelina Fan living in Lakewood, Washington USA
I’m so sorry for your loss 😔 this song together with other songs made me cope when i lost my brother,best friend and safe haven the christmas of 21. It’s the worst i ever had been trough. He also lived with me so every day i see the empty chair and the empty room. 💔❤️ Music is good for the soul and a toutch of humor. Laughter is also good for the soul 🥰❤️
I also cried through this song, lost my mum when she was 56 years old. It does hit you hard. But l fine this song helps you heal, which is a good thing.
Beautiful reaction. You did amazing and got me crying again after listening to this about a hundred times. She wrote it for her grandpa and dedicates it to all who's lost a loved one. Sorry for your loss😪💖💖💖
I'm sorry for your loss, especially if you were close, and it is apparent you were.In my case you can't miss what you never had. Neither of my donors cared much for me. But if someone were going to access those feelings and emotions Angelina would be the one to do it. She is blessed with the gift of accessing emotions most of us have buried, but she has the right tools to dig those emotions out of where we have buried them. Thanks for you reaction.
