This Was TOO MUCH! | PARKWAY DRIVE - “Wishing Wells” (REACTION!!) 

1:43 Alex- “I’m already getting like sad, depressing vibes” 2:30 Winston- I’m about to ruin this mans whole career

"This is obviously the opener to the album and we wanted to put it first so it would be a real slap in the face. Every line is about the feelings of going through grief. It’s about finding some way to blame a horrible event when there is nothing to blame. There’s nothing or no-one to place the blame on and you make up things and you curse the sky and you look at yourself and think ‘what could I have done to change this?’ It’s also about when someone disappears from your life in an everyday sense and you start missing little habits. It’s purely a documentation of what that is like." - *Winston*

Best part about Parkway Drive? Winston's growls are even more brutal on stage.

"Wishing Wells" I spoke a vow today And asked if god would come and play I've dug a shallow hole for him to sleep But I swear he just won't answer me I call on out is he afraid I'll bury him down with the ones he keeps And if the devil's listening I'll come for him as well If I suspect he had a hand to play And if I see his face in town There's room for two down underground Nothing's gonna stop me 'til I'm done Until I'm done! Until I'm done! Until I'm done! Until I'm done! Because tonight I'm killing gods! Killing gods! It's guilt and frustration, it's everything between The silence and the absence hitting home Peripheral glances and the chasing of a sound I never knew I'd miss until it's gone So ask me how I'm coping And I'll smile and tell you "I'm just fine" While down inside I'm drowning in the fucking rain Because when everything is empty And your heart is set to cave Sometimes all you wish for Is a place, is a place to place the blame Burn your heaven Flood your hell Drown you in your wishing wells Burn your heaven Flood your hell Damn you all Because tonight I'm killing gods! The incendiary shock wave, scorched earth policy The devastation that only loss will leave The chants and incantations of daily rituals A subtle lapse in brutal honesty So ask me how I'm coping And I'll smile and tell you "I'm just fine" While down inside I'm screaming 'til I fucking bleed Because when everyone's expendable And your heart can't take the wait The last thing that you wish for Is the face, is the face to face the pain Burn your heaven Flood your hell Drown you in your wishing wells Burn your heaven Flood your hell Damn you all Because tonight I'm killing gods I spoke a vow today And asked if god would come and play 'Cause I just want to cut that fucker down Face me Face me Face me Face me Face me! Face me! None survive! Face me! Face me! None survive! None survive! The devil and god have died inside me! ★

Older Parkway Drive, Romance is Dead, Sleepwalker, Carrion, Boneyards, Home is For the Heartless and whatever else I'm missing this time.

React to some older Parkway please! Carrion, home is for the heartless, horizons, karma etc 🤘🏻

This song literally has the God of war vibe. If that games series has a song, this would be it.

The best part is Winston hates his voice when it comes to clean vocals but he’s so gooooood

More Parkway needed! - Dark Days - Shadow Boxing - Idols & Anchors - All the rest of their songs :p

More Parkway, more While She Sleeps, and Bury Tomorrow’s Black Flame!

Stinks that nobody is requesting "Chronos" by Parkway Drive. Makes me bummed because I know you get such a large number of requests that you'll probably never get to that one, but hopefully you'll give that one a listen one day!

Crystal lake!!! Super underrated band, give their song Devilcry a go!

Bury Tomorrow is an amazing metalcore band that you'd definitely like. I'm sure

As I Lay Dying - Blinded Just dropped the other day and Alex I swear to god you'll LOVE it!

Parkway Drive, in my opinion, has the power, heaviness, and energy when it comes to Metalcore. This might even be their heaviest songs I've listened to. Can't wait to try this out while working out.

Architects - Gone With The Wind (brilliantly emotional)

Why hasn't this man done "When A Demon Defiles A Witch" or "Hickory Creek" by Whitechapel yet

As I Lay Dying - Blinded So amazing!

2:30 Gotta love that scare jump and sudden regain of focus.

Seen this live and still get goosebumps on those opening chords

Architects - Gone with the wind, please, bro :)

Should react to as I lay dying, cane hill, any given day, slaughter to prevail and thornhill! Also karma and vice grip by parkway drive really awesome videos!

THANKS! Your reactionvideo made me find this awesome track 🥰🎸🤘

Your tangled headphones didn’t let me concentrate. LOL

Trivium- Shogun. A MUST

older parkway drive is a must. Their latest stuff is much different from the old stuff

Love that line, Alex. “This man has like the most authority like you just have to sit back and listen to him because the way that he screams is so powerful, so demanding and his lyrical content is so intense and relatable you’re encapsulated, you’re lost.”

I'm with you here Alex, this is by far not the first time I've heard this song yet every single time I get goosebumps! Parkway have such an amazing ability to convey feeling, be it pain or joy, negativity or positivity.

Killswitch engage - My Curse album version

I haven’t even seen the video yet but god im so happy you did this song dude. Can we get In Flames - Trigger?

Some August Burns Red would be dope. The Frost or Invisible Enemy

This is, one of the most powerful songs that exists... And both the lyrics, the voice power, and the video really shows the face of anxiety, anguish, rage and pain... It's lovely. Love your reaction videos!

Can we just appreciate the lighting choices in the music video for a second? Thank you! 😊

This whole album is so good. Very personal, real, and hard af. I got goosebumps experiencing it all over again with you!

Favorite song by far. Helped me get through a dark time after losing my best friend my dog chance. Having to put him down was the hardest thing I've ever done and I was so pissed with God and the world. Awesome song. You nailed what it means to mean when I heard it for the first time.

Parkway drive was one of the most intense shows I've ever seen live, they're sound hits so damn hard live and it's so good

Please react to “Stabbing in the Dark” by Ice Nine Kills!!

React to Shadow Boxing By Parkway Drive

Parkway Drive- Romance Is Dead! You'll love it.

It's such a powerful song and helped my husband through the darkest time losing his father to suicide 10 days before our wedding. It's a true testemant to how music can heal a broken person. Thanks for reacting to this dude, there's a true sense pain that can help anyone heal.

I sooo came early cos I really like this song! Old Parkway Drive still has most of my best work! Also Alex, Shadow Of Intent, anything from Melancholy 😅

React to the whole 'The Silver Scream' Album by Ice Nine Kills

2:40 - “That was very jarring”. HaHa. That had me rolling.

Woo! Thanks for reacting to this song. It's so awesome. I've seen them live twice and they're amazing! More Parkway Drive for sure.

You should do dying to believe from parkway drive, the best breakdown there is

Such a powerful song. Had a very similar feeling when I lost some loved ones so this song really speaks to me. One of my all time pwd faves.

Thank you so much for doing this song dude! The hardest thing ever was trying to keep my eyes on you reacting to the most spine chillingly brutal song to date while reacting to it myself haha. Crazily running and jumping around the back yard at 1130pm was not something my cats will ever get used to! Youre the best, man! Keep it up!

"I'll smile and say I'm just fine!" To me, means both.. The façade, and that nobody actually TRULY cares about you, so you put on the facacde that you are ok. Just to make others feel better.

Want a banger? Blinded by As I Lay Dying. Just dropped a few days ago!

Finally some Parkway! Please react to Deliver Me by them next (live sonisphere)

When I first saw this thumbnail, I hadn’t seen any of your videos before. I thought “really, how many more react video people do we need?” And then I said “a, fuck it, it’s PWD, at least I’ll hear Wishing Wells. But I have to say, you bring a good vibe lol. Assuming you didn’t turn your thermostat down , the goosebumps is legit evidence of a genuine reaction haha. And your attention to detail on the powerful vocals, drums, lyrical message. Bravo sir, sub’d for more!

That vocal work is absolutely incredible

Thank you Alex for reacting to this song! I know a lot of people don't like the "New" Parkway Drive, but this song i special. As you said in the very end ... some people can relate to it. I guess the Fans who don't like this song, simply don't understand the lyrics or can't relate to them... Cancer sucks! Greetings from Germany P.S. Nothing More did a video for their Song "Fade in/ Fade Out" ... you better be prepared!

React to Shadow of Intent - Malediction

omg the intensity of the video!!! your scared face at the beginning of the song was priceless 🤣🤘🖤

Best reaction yet lol. Your face in the beginning when he started screaming was priceless.

Gotta react to parkway drive live performances

I love how Alex is slowly but steadily getting down that rabbit hole that is metalcore etc. Try Crystal Lake - Prometheus next! :) They are a japanese Metalcore band.

YOU SHOULD REACT TO THE RIVER BY PARKWAY DRIVE

Absolutely love this song! Kinda felt the same way when my dad committed suicide. I wrote a song for my band, Dreamstate Illusion called The Hourglass, although this song was from a different perspective. I wrote it from my perception of his mindset in his psychological downfall, as opposed to the way I was feeling about his death. I hadn’t seen him for a long time, so this was my way of personally putting closure on the matter and laying him to rest. Certainly not as heavy as this composition, but still as deeply emotional. R.I.P, Tony x.

If you really wanna cry check out In Loving Memory by Alter Bridge

Yaaaayyy!!! Parkway!!!💖💖💖 I'm so so so glad you're redoing parkway dude!

It has so much more impact with the singer by himself, with the shadow in one shot. it's beautiful

Parkway by far the best metal band to date. My favorite band.

As I Lay Dying: Nothing Left. Then a follow up reaction of As I Lay Dying: The Sound of Truth. The videos go together and are amazing!

I love this song so much, it's my favorite by Parkway Drive

FINALLY!!!!! Finally ur reacting to this song! This the one of the reasons why I listen to metal since 30 years! Metal gives me more than everything... and Parkway drive is one of my favourite bands.

This song is exactly how I feel everyday and as a result it makes me breakdown everytime

Avenged sevenfold-the stage I love your reactions man and I love to see it on one of my favourite songs!

More Parkway!!! React to “I Hope You Rot” or “The Void” Keep on rocking on Alex! 🔥🤘🏽

"SHADOW BOXING" Parkway Drive.....Song saved my life!

You hit the nail on the head. It's all about major loss in someone's life. For Winston, it wasn't just one, or two, among other hardships... This video is simple for a reason, to convey the utter pain and _colourlessness_ this world turns to when you're hit with one blow after another... PLEASE REACT TO MORE PARKWAY DRIVE. I'd imgine you love heavy lyrical value and relatedness... you won't be disappointed. Love watching your reactions as always. Much respect Alex! Keep it up. Whatever you chose to do, the real lot will find the beauty in you and your work.

React to In Flames: Come Clarity, or In Flames: Metaphor, for a change of pace. Alternatively, Parkway Drive Horizons or Smoke em if you got em.

Set to destroy-parkway drive!

Devin Townsend Project- deadhead live will blow your minds 🤯

I loved your reaction to this, gives me goose bumps watching you react to it. If I could like this twice I would!

Nekrogoblikon - No One Survives You aren’t ready for what you will see!

Cattle Decapitation-The Prophets of Loss. And please do read the lyrics

I love that intro to the song, and everything else about this song 🤟 Btw "I hope you rot" is also awesome 😉

Thanks for introducing this man! I've never heard of this band before but GOD that was amazing and intense!! Gonna check other songs now.

Alex ya gotta react to starset man!! they are solo amazing!! they just released a new album and its too good... but you should probably start with the classics in the transmission album

You should check out Veil of Maya and some songs like "Overthrow", "Doublespeak", and "Mikasa"! You won't regret it!

Even to this day, Wishing wells still cuts deep when you really pay attention to the lyrics.

I’ve listened to this song before but you made me HEAR it. Intense as hell

Fun fact : he filmed this hanging upside down to get all that power in the face !! Something like that lol 👍👍👍

React to August Burns Red - King of Sorrow!!!!

Upon a burning body. Born of Osiris. The browning. They all have a 'powerful' voice. I think you'd enjoy.

About time, been waiting forever for you to do more Parkway Drive

Reverence is an important album to me, and one of their best in my opinion. I know you generally react to videos, and even though they don’t have many, mostly just audio, I hope you react to more from this album especially.

Parkway Drive - Breaking Point OR Romance is Dead

the aladdin shirt while listening to this is the best part of this video

Your reaction was so amazing it’s made my smile 🤣🤣

Alex....come on bro. Tourniquet by breaking benjamin. Its been long enough of a wait brotha

Parkway Drive - Anasasis (Xenophontis)
