Therapist Reacts to Bloodywood - Aaj REACTION  

How did nobody recommend "Jee Veerey" from Bloodywood?! It's literally about mental health and the struggles associated with it. And a great song regardless of topic.

Bloodywood IS a force a nature! This band is killing it. Their message is so inspiring!

A week or so ago, I had a very difficult day. My issues with self-loathing and self-doubt were REALLY kicking my ass. This song appeared in my YT suggestions. It was EXACTLY what I needed to hear at that exact moment. I think I listened about 10x in a row. I decided to fix what's been broken with me for years. I'm now setting my goals and making my plans. You are 1000% correct that this is a WARRIOR ANTHEM. Nothing inspired me to fix myself like this song did.

Anthem!!! Even now, after roundabout 1.000.000x listend to this song, I get tears in my eyes every single time. Definitely an Anthem... Stay safe and greetz from Germany

Thank you for doing my request, well worth the wait. Great reaction! Every song of theirs has a message and if you may not react to any more of their songs then I highly recommend getting the album. You won’t be disappointed.

As an extreme introvert, often to my own detriment, metal is my outlet. I don't talk about how I feel and I rarely show emotions. I know it's unhealthy but when things have a severe impact on me I shut down. Metal keeps me going. So from personal experience, you're absolutely right. And metal is much, much more than just raw unfiltered aggression. That's the first thing people tend to pick up, but metal is very easily the most diverse genre there is. From catatonic and gloomy to raw and angry to warm and wholesome. There's happy, upbeat metal, there's depressive metal, there's grand, epic metal. Some bands paint entire landscapes with their music, others keep things simple and within a certain mood. People who claim they don't like metal, just haven't heard the right bands for them yet. You shouldn't just listen to a Metallica song, not like it and discard all of metal entirely. You'll miss out for certain. If you don't like the screaming, that's fine. Plenty of bands don't use it. If the music is too intense, that's fine too. Not all metal is loud and heavy. If you don't like certain lyrical themes, once again, that's fine. Metal lyrics span from anywhere between folklore, grand adventures, personal emotions and just about anything else. Some metal bands draw inspiration from stories like Lord of the Rings. Others are obsessed with aliens and sci-fi. Others write half their catalogue about drinking and partying. Again others make concept albums that take you through a story of their own creation. But above all else, metal is brotherhood (or sisterhood if that's what you prefer).

Aaj is my heartbeat. My anthemn. No matter how many times i fail and stumble and fall. My savior picks me up and i rise. As long as i have breath i will declare that there is a free gift available that brings total freedom. Freedom to fly. I will always be a warrior for Jeshuah. 😇

Bloodywood are a wonderful group of human beings. Often a message in their songs, this being one that effects me to most. Jayant's chorus is such a battle cry it lifts me up. An adding the Snake Charmer, Archy J, on the wordless section adds the beauty and calming balm. Live, this hits hard.

You'd love their song Jee Veerey. It's about suicide, but not in a miserable way. That's probably not a good way to describe it. Accurate though. The song really meant a lot to many people (me included). It translates as "Live, brave one".

I love Bloodywood. It's a shame that reactions to them only get so few views. I'm listening to them almost every day.

I haven't even watched this yet. I am so glad you picked this song.

Another artist might've finished the song with that crazy breakneck part and it would've been a great song, but what a fantastic touch to resolve it with a dead stop at the peak and a leap into the ambient female vocal chant, then let all the pieces slowly assemble again into the finale! What a song!

Love this track - and your interpretation of it as always Rosalie. I love the rawness some artists bring to their performance - their roar out to the world - yes it is motivational. Love it 😍

Powerful vocals and lyrics.🤘😆🤘 It's been over a year since you did a reaction to Jinjer, I recommend "Wallflower".

Rosalie, you are more right than you know. Aaj is an anthem -- especially for those like me that are chronic depressives, who have those days where we wonder what's the point to living, what's the point to life. And this song is an anthem of not just encouraging people to fight, but to realize we have the power of choice in our lives, to change our situations. That we aren't stuck in whatever mire we find ourselves in. It's also about taking a chance, if only to not have the regret of not taking that chance. That being said, I still would want to hear your analysis of a couple of other Bloodywood songs: Jee Veerey (Hindu for "Brave One") and Yaad (Hindi for "In memory" or "remember"). Additionally, I'd like to hear your analysis of an Unleash the Archers song, a cover of a Stan Rogers classic from 1981 called "Northwest Passage." Lastly, you now have another artist to check out: Archy, known as "The Snake Charmer," who combines Celtic and Irish traditional music with traditional Indian instruments, all while playing the Scottish bagpipes. Because of her dedication to her art, she is now known as the first female Indian bagpiper, and has been nationally recognized in India for what she does. That being said, check out her rendition of "Toss the Feathers," an old Irish "pipes and drums" song. I think you'll like it as much as I do!

While most recommendations are for Jee Veerey , I would also recommend "Endurant" since you are a Therapist.

Dude this was badass! I am a big fan of metal and I was impressed with this a lot, thanks!! I hope you continue your metal journey, there is so much to learn and so many feelings that metal can encompass and share with you. Appreciate you Rosalie!! ✌🏻🫶🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

The Snake Charmer the female singer have worked with this band a few times, including they helping her out with her music. Overall great and interesting band

as a fan of folk metal I LOVE THIS BAND!!!! I also have a list of folk metal bands spanning all inhabited continents if anyone is interested

There is another Indian band- Agam, that quite literally proves how similar progressive rock and classical music is in technicality. Their genra is a perfect fusion between traditional South Indian Classical music and Rock. Yet another one, is a song called Navarasam from an album of same name by the band Thaikudam Bridge. I think you'll appreciate the subject matter explored and storytelling in that song's visuals as well.

I got to see them live in Chicago this year. Amazing show! So positive, and absolutely the best concert I've ever been to. Got to meet the guys before the show and they are the kindest, most humble guys I've ever met.

welcome to the big metalhead family

This is the only song that has ever been able to lift me from a severe depressive episode.

You absolutely have to do Jee Veeray. This song gets you ready for the battle. Jee Veeray tells you you're worth fighting for.

These guys give me the gooseybumpses EVERY TIME

My second best song of 2022 👌 Bloodywood is one of my favourite discovery from the past two years 🤟

of all the bloodywood songs a therapist should listen to, jee veerey should have been the first one.

@11:36 can't lie, this song bringed me to tears from the avalanche of emotions. It's just plain crazy how many difrent music genres they blended toghter: folk metal, power metal, techno, some rap.. I don't know that much music theory, but it seems to me they used the structure of metalcore but lyrics of power metal. @14:52 that's what I've seen metalcore does with the blend of clean and distorted vocals.

Heavy Metal was the best Therapy I ever received, best part a hard core heavy metal session aka buying an album, going to concert and buying another album is still cheaper than even 1 regular therapy session. Granted when I went through therapy it was for being attacked, metal soothed me more, the therapist made me feel like I was in an insane asylum. My therapist demanded I cried on command, hate the person and wish them harm, but when I didnt she went insane trying to force me into far extended classes. as someone who studied psychology for fun I am conflicted if my Therapist at time had mental issues, or just couldn't accept someone could be wise enough to heal on own even if person was a very bright 13 yr old boy.

Powerful song and very good reaction. Thank you

The flute adds some nwxt Level of epicness to this song.nthe Song overall ist Just a masterpiece

Great reaction 😊

Actually music is exactly my mental charger when I'm too stressed... :D

So true, if you tell me like 10 years back to listen to Rock or metallic, I would say naaaaa, but today I am in love with rock and heavy metals. Maybe we just dont know what is right when we young.

Loved this do you know Home free and voice play

Awesome

Bloodywood!!!!

You should check out architects and their album All Our God's Have Abandoned Us

Music is the one of the bes way to HEAL.... And BLOODYWOOD ensures that with their 'Walk the Talk" tracks. (Jee Veeray - fighting depression, Endurant - Anti bullying, Yaad - loss of loved ones, Dana Dan - sexual harrasment..and so on)

Ich mag dein neues setup😊

given a follow and probs in advance before checking the video!! MK!?~ studios Cheers.

Great! You should check some "The Manhattan Transfer" It'll give you chills...

Wonderful analysis. Bloodywood caught me and blew me away ever since I stumbled upon "Gaddaar". You should definitely listen to "Jee Veerey". If you enjoy skilled musicians and motivating lyrics, maybe check out Nemophila? Their songs "Rise" or "Adabana" could be right up your alley. And if you need it to be a bit less metal, then "Life" will knock your socks off. Edit: Oh, and I forgot - most of their songs have English subtitles.

At the end of one of their older songs they give away 60 1hr sessions with an online therapist for anyone who needed it. So they have more songs that touch these issues. Another one tackles school bullying, and Dana Dana sexual abuse.

Jesus chrost this reaction content the same thing i was talking with my therapist yesterday

Great reaction. Thx Rosalie. In the context of your channel - world music and psychology you should check out 'The Warning' and their album 'Queen of the Murder Scene'. They are 3 sisters from Mexico playing hard rock music. This album is a concept album telling the story of unrequited love turning to obsession and spiralling into psychosis and murder. They played the album live and in sequence several times but the best is probably live at Teatro Lunario in Mexico City (CDMX). They are well worth checking out anyway but if you do, be prepared for TWA (The Warning Army) to Mob your channel!!!

Metal = Energy

Sure, this was a folk metal song... but did your ears catch the sound of the synth? :D

Since you mentioned psychology you must check out JEE VEERAY or ENDURANT Everytime I feel let down, depressed or just disturbed, I just listen to BLOODYWOOD.
