He’s great. Huh? ❤️ Reminds me of a stripper I knew. (Mind ≠ gutter lol) She…had problems. Don’t wanna get into all of them but anyway, she was a “cutter” in her youth. She had these little scars on specific places depending on what she was feeling. They were her memories, albeit painful ones. She got everything she asked for in life too. Rich husband, a baby boy, nice house, never had to work, etc. Yet she would drive 2hrs each way to strip in another city. (I assume it was a judgment thing. She never actually said any of this, mind you) but after her shift she would call me to make an appointment for 4am cause I always seemed to answer the “important” calls (her words). So ofc I’d unlock the door to my apt and go back to sleep. First thing she always did was wash her feet in my tub (stripper heels, amiright? lol) Then she’d curl up next to me and just spoon. I had to get up @5am for work so it was never, like, a “relationship”. Just comfort. It’s nice and necessary sometimes. Life is hard and confusing and painful.
Say what you want about Ronnie's presence online, but so many people fail to see how monumentslly talented he is as a musician. Lyricism, vocals, composition, his direction and production of his music videos. The dude is a certified genius. The build ups in this song perfectly capture the emotions behind the lyrics. The lowering of his pitch when he sings " downward spiral, where do I begin" it's all so intricately written. The videos of him showing Jacoby the demo of this is so wholesome.
That is what initially drew me to Ronnie, I believe only someone that has lived with great pain could convey a song like this and we feel the pain listening to it.
Been waiting for this one for awhile. The best description I've heard for this song is that Papa Roach's original was for the troubled youth in us, and Ronnie's version is for the broken adult we are now. Beautiful.
This was exactly how I felt. The Papa Roach version hit me as angry young adult. This version made me actually look at myself as a father and husband. I found a therapist the very next week. Bringing this video w me.
Found this song and FIR right after my brother ODed on heroin. We had a hard childhood. Abuse, neglect, abandonment, extreme violence from abusive father figures. He never recovered and spiraled for years but this original song was something he played for hours on end growing up. RIP big brother. Thank you for reacting to this
For entertainment I like the original version, but as far as how impactful and the actual feeling of the pain involved with suicide this version absolutely nails it. That is how I felt in 2018 when I almost ended it. Mine stems from physical pain and the difficulties of living like that for 15 years. I was right at that edge and out of the blue my niece called me up and said she was pregnant and she always loved it when I was around when she was a kid and that she wanted me to be there for her kids. It was enough to bring me back and realize that I couldn't leave my family or pass on my pain to them through taking my own life.
I am crying, the people, lives, homes and many things we lost in the Kahramanmaraş 7.7 earthquake on February 6, Turkey. I am so sorry that nothing will ever be the same again. This song made me experience that again, thank you :(
I love that you knew you were in for a ride as soon as as the high piano notes came in

Thank you for doing this song.. I love how you did the clip at the end showing Ronnie nervous with his hands behinishis back. Look forward to you doing more of Falling in Reverse.
My Son introduced me to this song not too long ago, I suffer with Major Depression disorder with anxious distress, GAD, PTSD and OCD. I have been in a downward spiral, when I heard this song it was almost my life story...I have to believe for Ronnie to sing this song with such raw emotion that he has been where many of us have been. Just amazing job, loved your analysis.
Fun fact -the one with Jacoby and Ronnie was while they were touring together and one show Jacoby s wife called him crying and he was worried about what was wrong but she told him she was crying because she had just heard Ronnie's version of the song
This version hits so much different than the original. I hadn't seen the Papa Roach reaction. I'm so happy you did both of them, and I hope it helps whoever needs to hear it.
So glad you finally got around to this one, it is an emotional masterpiece. You might like to compare I'm Not A Vampire with the Revamped version, and also The Drug In Me Is You with the Reimagined version.
I've been WAITING for you to react to this one. This one makes me emotional every time I listen to it. I've had my low moments, I've had people in my life hit low moments, and just like a lot of others- I've lost some to those low moments. I feel like today's society is doing a little better with the topic of mental health, but there is still so much work to be done. There are still too many people out there that do not take it seriously. I can understand that it's hard for people to grasp the idea of someone at this low of a level because they haven't experienced it themselves, but it's so sad to see someone have to go through this pain alone because they don't have a support system that understands. This song puts all of these feelings and emotions into perspective and I hope the people that have the privaledge of not having to deal with mental health issues use this and views it as a true depiction of what it's like. Love all your reactions so so much, keep it up and stay strong out there. 🤍
I just watched your Last Resort reaction, then saw in the comments that someone had recommended a cover by Falling in Reverse, I went and watched that, then 2 minutes later I see you've released a reaction to the same cover 🤯
This song always hits me on so many levels. For something else that fits perfectly for this channel you need to react to Bloodywood. Specially the following songs (sorted from oldest to newest): Jee Veerey, Endurand, Yaad, Aaj, Dana Dan. It's an amazing group from India. And as some parts of the songs are in Hindi turn on subtitles as not all songs have those as part of the video.
I really think it would be extremely important for you to watch the official VEVO video of ITIIITIATIIHYLIHYL by Blackshape. The video was released on May 19, 2023. It's beautiful, poignant, uplifting, heartbreaking, and joyous all throughout. I'm still alive because of that video.
Seconded. This was recommended to me by a glitch in the algorithm (or a person at RU-vid tweaking the algorithm) and I was blown away. Definitely peak creativity.
In FIR's Let The World Burn, it shows at the end the planet Earth being devoured in fire, and here it restores and the fires go out. I love the ties into each piece they do with these massive videos!!!
I saw FIR in January and was so sad they didn’t play this 😭😭but was also sad Prequel came out only like 4-5 months later. Watch the World Burn is fantastic live.
Sorry for the long-winded comment here.... but.... The Original "Last Resort" quite literally saved me. My Highschool years, 1996 - 2000. Early years of Highschool, i was hit with a sudden medical issue that essentially had my lungs randomly collapse in a strangely alternating fashion every 2 weeks (ie: first the right, then the left, then right again). Result after the 4th one was a surgery over the summer between Freshman and Sophomore year. Fast-forward to my Sr year, and the problem came back, only when it came back, it nearly took me in my sleep (though i managed to be to stubborn to lay there and die and managed to claw my way back from the brink till the EMS that responded could help the rest of the way). Needless to say, i was in seriously deep spirits facing yet another 'gauntlet' of what i thought i had already beat. Then Last Resort came out, and something in that song snagged me. I found myself one night, prior to a 2nd, more severe surgery being planned/scheduled after yet another collapse, sitting on the edge of my bed in my room at 2am with Last Resort playing on repeat, spinning a 8in hunting knife between my hands. I was simply 'tired of fighting', despite having quite literally fighting to live just a few weeks before. A Combination of Last Resort, and my own stubbornness, and a dash of the values my parents had instilled in me, is what kept me from falling to those daemons. Stubbornness and being brought up to 'not harm those you care about' (which in the back of my mind i knew would happen if i lost that fight) gave me the resistance, but Last Resort gave me the outlet to quietly scream at while i fought that silent battle in my head. 5:46 - 6:30 (your video's timestamps) WAS my battle that night. Feeling as if i could not go on knowing i'd be facing yet another lung collapse in another 2 weeks, then another in a further 2 weeks, and on and on. "i cant go on, living this way" as the lyric says. Ronnie's Reimagined version of this song is what " I " lived though. Its what " I " was hearing when i heard the original. And the final bit of his Video, with all the walls rebuilding themselves, is what the song did 'for' me all those years ago. Crawling my way back to my feet and telling the doorman at death's door "no, im not ready yet." THIS is how i felt when i heard the original.. THIS is what i was hearing when i heard that original song... its what gave me the courage to not back down and give up. Yes i was 'head-banging' to the original (i even do the same to this version, just at a more sedated pace), but the feelings THIS song give.. are what i was dealing with at that moment... Many people 'rocked out' to Last Resort. It was their 'angry escape' song of sorts from everything from a bad day at school, looing a game, or just angry at life in general. For some of us, it had an entirely different meaning. Ronnie Captures THAT side of the song that those of us who latched onto it as a lifeline felt with this Reimagined version. 💜
Request 7 for Hellyeah- Love Falls. Super group in rock/metal with one of the best lyricist Chad Gray. Perfect for your channel, has some heavy content with great vocal/instrumental.
Could you please do Yungblud - Breakdown or Moncrieff - Young Man. As someone that have struggle with depression and suicidal thoughts, both these songs have meant a lot to me.
8:28 smack that, flip it… Everyone else is screaming out and saying nothing while their world crumbles. But WE are so preoccupied with ourselves we ignore it. Maybe it’s money. Maybe it’s confidence/competency/self-doubt. Whatever it is, NOBODY is JUST talking about themselves. Nobody. Empathy. Learn to feel again and you’ll start hearing again. Then the lyrics might help *if needed*
Awesome video as always. You should try and analyze a song by Orbit Culture called Behold. It is about inner demons. I will keep commenting this until it eventually happens haha.
Always found it a little ironic that this channel decided to react to Ronnie’s stuff. I get metal and rock have a history of being accused of perpetuating a lot of negative ideas, often falsely, but given Ronnie’s history and the way he conducts himself online seems counter intuitive to what this channel is trying to achieve
I strongly disagree with this, I am a very intuitive person when it comes to emotions....Ronnie is full of emotions, it is hard for him to hear negativity about himself, he feels like he must defend himself....I see a beautiful soul in him, maybe lost at times but many of us are.
@@brenleedee8061 I totally agree with your statement. Ronnie has admitted his mistakes and changed his life. He's one of my heroes and I wish people would cut him some slack.
