She is the first person that i have seen that reacted to this version of the song, that actually understood the part of the stages of child abuse in this song. Way to go.
As twisted as these songs seem it's how people deal with emotions and express what they're feeling without actually acting on them. Imagine being in that situation and hearing a song that portrays how you feel and the comfort and expression it can give you. Great breakdown Mel, I think you got a great understanding.
"Inside the Fire" is another good one by them (Disturbed), but seriously prepare yourself, it's pretty dark and it goes into some serious subject matter. Like suicide chain/spiral places kinda dark.
Love seeing new people introduced to Disturbed as a 20 year fan. some recommendations Prayer, Inside the Fire, Hold on to Memories, The Animal, Warrior, Vengeful One, Are You Ready. There are endless other greats but these are must hear IMO
Hey I I'm a new subscriber and love y'all's reactions. Plz react to Disturbed's The Night. I think it's one of their better ones and gets pretty deep. Hope y'all keep doing these, and enjoy! It's gonna be a wild ride!
That reaction was priceless. When Mel described her thoughts at the end was absolutely spot on! Excellent, that couldn’t have been said better! 👍🏻 🙏🏻 Happy I found your channel.
I absolutely loved your faces during that song. Such a switch from “Sound of Silence”. Disturbed also has songs that are thought provoking and supportive. Check out: “Reason to Fight” & “Hold on to Memories”
*”MOTHER”* is a term for the government. Don’t worry, he’s not literally talking about his mother, or a mother in general. I hope y’all read this so you don’t get this song wrong.
I bought their album when it first came out and was blasting it in my room. My mother rushed in damn near knocked my block off for listening to it. I had to explain it to her, then she was cool. She was a big hippy and totally agreed . Anyway she bought every album afterwards until she passed away.
And mainstream society with how they treat outcasts and people who don’t fit the norm of acceptable society when this came out because at the time outcasts were being targeted because of the Columbine Massacre and lgbt people were still being persecuted by most of society
New to Disturbed and listens to Sound of Silence: “Alright. We’re good. That was great.” Second song is Down With the Sickness: “What did we get ourselves into?!?!?!”
I love everybody's reaction to that last bit where he talks about his violent mother, because I know it's coming and to see the expression on your faces is priceless
EXACTLY.... YOU HIT IT ON THE NOSE.... He said... When I dream.... WOW... DISTURBED does touch on these hard subjects.... its POWERFUL and a lot of people know this PAIN...
My son and I seen them in Ft. Wayne. Everyone sang “Down with the Sickness” with David. It was an awesome thing to be a part of. You could see the band enjoying it too
Your reaction is awesome 👍🎶💖👍💖🎶 disturbed are one of my favorites,more awesome Disturbed songs are inside the fire, stricken, indestructible, stupify,a reason to fight & hold on to memories 👍💖👍💖👍💖👍💖👍💖👍
My son and I play it in the song together too 🤣🤦♀️ he’s one of my best friends as well. Maybe there’s something to that music bond. We listen to a lot of music together we both enjoy. Going to see Rage in August🤷♀️ it is what it is 😁
I love your reaction to this song! Thank you guys for choosing the uncensored version not too many ppl who just react to the PG version or censored. Keep up reactions!
I just want to say how much I love how open you two are to different genres of music. Especially her, right off the bat she understood and put herself in someone anothers shoes.
Mel you were spot on!! You grabbed the meaning of this song. You both rocked this song out! I am new to you both and by this reaction from you all ..I am in 💯
Absolutely freaking awesome reaction. First one I've heard that actually understood the message. I have watched several reactions to this video or song and most people are speechless after the rant. I appreciate you guys!
I been on a "The Sound of Silence" reaction binge today and I knew as soon as you asked people to tell y'all about Disturbed this was inevitable. This isn't music you can just listen to. Disturbed performs art that you FEEL.
I grew up with my mom beating me and my brother and telling me how worthless I was and that she wished I was never born. In those moments I wanted to physically lash out at her this song mentally, emotionally, and physically saved me from doing something I could never take back out of a fit of anger and resentment. Disturbed has saved my life on many levels many different times in my life.
I've watched a lot of reactions to this song. I wait until the dream sequence in this version to see the look on people's faces. It's always amusing to watch and you two were no different. I will say that most people don't get it but Mel you got it, nail on the head.
I heard it first when I was about 13, scared the shit outta me! 😂 check out inside the fire for a good look at these guys. They also do a great cover of land of confusion as well 👍 enjoy the distubing journey! One of a kind voice
I'm a 68 yr old Grandmother who has been listening to Disturbed since the beginning. I saw your reaction to Sound of Silence and had to see if you had heard this. Congratulations... you are now Head Bangers! Welcome!
Finally, a reaction that doesn't react to the version that cuts out the rant. This is about how society treats people who are "different." A lot of people think they are "sick" and "wrong" and want nothing to do with them. In the middle of the song, lead singer David Draiman acts out a skit where he is being abused by his mother (not in the radio version). Finally, he builds up enough courage and hits her right back. This is used to symbolize how "mother society" abuses "her" children for not being the way "she" thinks they should. "She" keeps doing it until "her" children get sick of it and are so angry with her and themselves they go out and get revenge for it, most likely by killing the people that hurt them ("here it comes, get ready to die!") A good example of this would be the school shootings that go on around the country. Getting "Down With The Sickness" means accepting people for who they are so we can all function better.
New subscriber. Listening to music you usually wouldn't. I'm glad you have chosen this path. Nothing evolves and comfort zone. You are wonderful conscious human beings.
Disturbed has been around for a long time. A couple of more recent songs that are worthy are, "Stricken" and " The Light" . The light being my personal fave. Many more awesome songs for you also.
So glad you heard the unedited version. And she gets it!! Look into David’s history with his mom. (David us the singer) Great job! Most reactors don’t understand why and what that middle means
If y'all haven't checked out any Jinjer, I highly recommend them. The best song to introduce you to for them is "Pisces (live studio session)". From there the rabbit hole goes further
Hey yall just started watching ya. Yall are fun to watch. Came a across you bc disturbed is my favorite band. Disturbed has so many great songs it's hard to keep Track. Inside The fire, Indistructible, and The animal are very popular songs by them as well. Thanks for the reactions.
Thank you so so so so so so so so so so so much for doing the un clipped version of this song, as it was meant to be. With the "rant" part, this song means so much more
