Vocal Coach reacts to LORNA SHORE - Pain Remains III: In a Sea of Fire 

If the Pain Remains trilogy doesn't make you emotional, you are probably a robot

Seeing her whispering "I love you", combined with the musical explosion of the song as he burns down the house including himself to be united again with the love of his life breaks me every single time 😭

"dancing like flames After all i've done I'll salt the earth and i disappear In the sea of fire" Just fantastic

That moment of silence, the silent "I love you"... That's the moment when everything breaks inside me.

On July 31st, our 13 year old son lost his mom and I my wife of 24 years. The Trilogy came out at about that time frame and it helped me to stay away from dark places and focus on my son and his future. Thank You, Metal, for saving my life. Bands like i.e., Lorna Shore, Evergrey, Darkwater, I-Exist, Nightwish, Rammstein (the Zeit album came out during her worst time), Volbeat, Dream Theater, and so many others that are too many to list here were equal parts of the journey to learn to cope with the pain. If this LS Trilogy does not bring you to tears, you have yet to endure hardness in your life. At 57 years old, I had to learn that I can cry rivers of tears... And I am proud of every single one of them!!! 🤘🏻😭🤘🏻

The thing that really impressed me about the trilogy? The composition, instrumentals, vocals ? Nope what impressed me is the way most people get personally involved with the story told, and the protagonist in the video. The fact that it's so compelling, heartbreaking makes it art. Thanks for the great reaction!

Sorrow transforms into hopelessness before giving way to rage. An amazing trilogy of songs.

When people say heavy music has no meaning I direct them towards this trilogy, it really is a masterpiece in musical storytelling taking you through a rollercoaster of emotions 🤘🏻🔥🖤

When you were like 'He's OK!' i could help but feel bad knowing where this goes...

Still makes me cry. Painfully beautiful and cathartic. I believe the music and lyrics came first. The entire album is a concept album having to do with lucid dreaming, and the world that was created. In that timeline, the trilogy is the part where it all comes crashing down. The album lyrics are Will's, the storyline for the trilogy videos come from guitarist Adam De Micco.

The reason why this type of music is so good is because you can quite literally feel the emotion of the words he’s singing and it just pulls you in on an emotional level. Beautiful.

Since you were heartbroken about this, here's something will lift you up a bit: pain remains (the album, not the trilogy) is a concept album in which a man starts to dream and become a god in his imaginary world he created himself by dreaming. with this information the whole story of the pain remains trilogy just turn from a tragedy in which a man first lose his loved one, then try to kill himself, then tries again and finally succeed by also burning away the memory of her to a sad story for sure, but with an happy ending or sort: a man (well, actually, a god) lose his loved one, then try to kill himself....then tries again, finally succeed by returning to his real world in which he was just a man and basically moving on from a world which wasn't really real in the first place. Sure that world was beatiful since it lasted but since she was dead there's was no point anymore in it, so he just burn everything away, moved on and returned to the "real" world. Not an happy story for sure but at least it's not just a tragedy of two people just dying by sickness and suicide.

The panic and torment in Will's eyes when he says "Take me back to where it all began"....Also, when he inhales, right as the lighter strikes...incredible.

And this is why we love Lorna Shore. No matter what your type of music is. This trilogy will make anyone cry watching and listening to it, and we fucking love it. Well done Beth

saw them live last month and man it was amazing. Their encore was pain remains 1-3 and words can't describe it. It was an experience

As someone who lost a spouse very unexpectedly, both the lyrics to the trilogy *and* the visuals from the video trilogy perfectly encapsulated my feelings in the days/weeks/months afterward. Massively cathartic to see years later. Much love to Lorna Shore.

I lost my best friend of 11 years on Christmas Eve and this series is absolutely destroying me 😭 miss u bud 💚

Lorna Shore raised the bar for deathcore

Such a powerful and emotional ending to the trilogy as well as the album itself. One of the best albums I’ve heard in over a decade. I enjoyed your series on these immensely.

How can something that is sooo dark be so beautiful

I saw Lorna Shore in concert, a small venue, they were amazing. Will Ramos' voice is insane. The whole band was such a joy to watch. Will taught himself how to sing the way he does by practicing in the shower. If you have the opportunity to see them live, go.

Thanks for the Trilogy reaction Ms.Beth , the lyrics and melodies are so full of emotion, losing something in life isn't easy and it's very true that Pain Remains and this band have expressed that pain in there music. Keep rockin 🤘

You don't always have to react as a vocal coach. When the art as a whole is this moving, just react as a human, like you did. 🖤 Great job and Thank you!!! I've seen this a couple of time times now. Mostly through reactors or while also reading the lyrics. Not to much yet just for my own listen. One thing I noticed this time (I'll have to listen some more to see if its consistent) I think the lyrics and vocals are always representing his inner thoughts and torment. While the music might me representing his outward appearance or the mask he is wearing for the world to see. While you were talking about the music being more melodic, he was quietly sitting. Then when the music became more 'chaotic', it was when he was throwing things and preparing to do harm. Maybe it just worked out that way for the couple of scenes I noticed. Maybe I'm reading too much into it. I'm not sure.

Just saw them live last Saturday.. holy shit!! What a great live act! Much respect! ✊

Truly a work of art. Great reaction Beth.

9:58 As I understand it, and I may be wrong, Adam (lead guitar, the guy that does the shredding solos) is their composer and lyricist, and about 1.5 - 2 years ago was going through a massive depressive period, in the more extreme end of depression. Much like with Nightwish after they dismissed Tarja, where Tuomas wrote "The Poet and The Pendulum," Adam committed "musical suicide" through Pain Remains I-III. So, in terms of your question, the concept came first, the music and lyrics came next, and when they knew they had an absolutely revolutionary trilogy, they very intelligently did the music videos with a "visual novel" style of story, with each part getting its own theme (rain, snow, fire) to reflect the emotions of sadness, despair, rage.

This Lorna Shaw trilogy always puts a lump in my throat! Incredible

What a treat to see your reactions to parts 2 & 3 in my recommendations. Made my morning!

Hi Beth. The Pain Remains trilogy is a emotional rollercoster ride. i cry to. Thank for the reaction video. Lots of love

These guys are truly amazing! Great reaction!

Beautiful reaction to the trilogy! ❤ I was tearing up throughout the reactions, even though I’ve watched the trilogy numerous times

They glide so well together while being very different. The first one ending on. " Am I just a ghost just like you, caught between the Seams of two intertwining melodies? " Leading into the second song, where hope is gone, and he might be alive, but living like a ghost, the second song is the time between melodies. So the ending of the first song leads to the expressions of the second. And then to the 3 where it about getting past the empty space between melodies. Where he is no longer a ghost just acting, but the emotions he is feeling is acting through him. Pain, anger, everything. The attempt in the second part was the uncontrolled action, the lack of everything. While the choice in the 3 was made with and understanding what he felt his life had become. Ending the trilogy with the words " Dancing like flames, after all that I've done I'll salt the earth and disappear in a sea of fire " Dancing like Flames being part 1 All that I've done being part 2 In a Sea of fire being part 3 And the 3 also bind the first part into it again, after the half part of the song, with the sort of breakdown, the melody and flow goes through some of the same waves we heard in the first song- ending with the bells and string actually playing through the same notes, but it start before that leading up to it. So both the story and the music is brought back together at the end. Same way life starts and end the same place, in all forms. no matter the start or the end. You never know where you start. And when you are at the end, it does not really matter. It was the choices and feelings between the melodies you experiences along the way that guided you to what ever end you had. The two things in life that does not matter to you, is the start, and the ending. because you are not there to deal with them or experience them. Yet it is those two things that mean the most when all is said and done. Because what ever you did with your life, those you loved, and those you hurt is all because your life started. And your actions in between the melodies is what you will be remembered for.

Omg i really love ur reactions 😄

(Sad mode on) I had the privilege to see Sparklehorse live in Italy twice... then... It's a wonderful life. P.S. Happy 2023 Beth!

This trilogy to me is one of the few songs that emotionally moves me 😢 the music, the lyrics, and the visual storytelling it all just… works together and gives such a emotional rollercoaster ride.

Others have done it, my turn: "Dancing like flames, after all that I've done, I'll salt the earth and disappear, in a sea of fire."

"I really hope he's okay" "He's okay, wohoo!" "He's burning his memories, noo" >burns himself too *quiet sobs* Yeah. Same. This trilogy sure is something.

Seeing this live was a completely out of this world experience. I cried.

Having lost somebody I thought I couldn't live without, the moment in the memory when you can see her say "I love you" and the deep inhale and scream perfectly incapsulate the feeling of wanting those memories to go away and the rage feeling like everything around you will remind you of those moments. It shatters my heart every single time I hear it.

This song is a masterpiece. You need to appreciate all the work and dedication behind it.

Seeing you react on these metal bands is so fun. You have nice way of explaining techniques and such, and you get emotional over certain songs as well. Like that you are so very British as can be, ginger hair, pretty ladies. What's not to like. Except more never metal, NW, Within Temptation, Sabaton ,Lorna Shore and many more.

the beauty of music. emotion

Thanks to react. Masterpiece songs 🤘 greatings from finland

"I love you" HOW DID I GET FROM WATCHING ENYA TO HERE?!

Yeah this is a classic trilogy , gets me everytime and watching reactors like yourself and charismatic voice also Tank, it is very powerful and effects everyone a different way who can relate to it, the lyric trilogy video is something to watch for the story breakdown but dos not have th same effect, looking forward to seeing them at Download festival 2023 , they may be lower in the pegging but come June can see them higher up , awesome reaction and heres a hug :)

the possibilities with music in these times are crazy. and those possibilites comes together with a mind like Will Ramos or Dicky Allen it becomes a complicated yet expressive masterpiece. Hope we see songs more like these

I'm a 34 year old man crying at a reaction video to a song I've listened to and watched the music video for over 500 times and it gets me every single time

As I'm laying in my hospital bed after being admitted for observation as they changed my anti depressants in 2 weeks time and I'm now on the 3rd week, I can say that this trilogy has caused a storm in my head again. The thought of the sweet release of death and an end to my suffering for these past 6 years that I've been on this mental rollercoaster. A ride that really showed me just how deep you can sink mentally. But the fact that I'm going to be an uncle gave me the strength to push through, not for myself just yet, but for her, my family and friends. In time I'll be able to find joy in it for myself but until then I'll cling to this lifeline, this little ray of love and hope that will be my niece.

I've listened to this trilogy in total no less than 100 times. It is the most beautiful thing that came of 2022. I have only watched the videos themselves twice (outside of reactions) I cannot finish dry eyed. It just isn't possible. I suck at dealing with death... it takes me a LONG time to get over death even remotely

“He’s okay!!!” 😢😢😢

9:10 I think the change you’re talking about reflects the change from sadness to pure anger, after he lost her

Hell yeah

"I'm so happy he's alive"...two minutes later...

Will literally learned to sing/scream and summon the devil in the shower lol

11:41 i blown away in that scene.

Adam, the guitarist, wrote the music first. He's said that he was going through a *really* tough time with this album, and I think it shows in the music itself. Then Will wrote the vocals, the entire album acts as a concept based on his memories of warching anime when he was younger, essentially someone lucid dreaming a world that they have complete control over. These three tracks function as the finale where the protagonist realizes the dream life, and someone in it, have become more real to him than real life and he burns it all down to escape. But at the same time, the message of loss and pain and heartbreak resonate so strongly that the idea of these videos probably wasn't much of a stretch to reach. I adore this whole album, but these three tracks at the end are truly Art in a way most music doesn't quite reach.

Yessssss

9:00 It's that moment during depression where you're feeling so hurt that you just snap and say "fuck it" and start destroying things. It's like going from one extreme emotion to the opposite emotion in a split second. I've had it happen. Not in the same way depicted in the video, but I know that EXACT feeling. Going from extremely sad to angry in seconds. It's so cool the way they were able to depict that in not just the video, but within the realm of extreme music as well. They're fucking brilliant.

You need to listen to them all together back to back no breaks on Spotify or something bc they instantly flow into each other seamlessly So does sun//eater and cursed to die

You mentioned which came first the music video concept or the song. If you read the synopsis on iTunes it explains song by song how this whole album is a concept album and what happens in each song. It’s all one story. 👍🏻❤️

A dream died there... Nothing in genre history has conveyed the "why" of "screamo" music. Such an over-simplification. There is no better, poetic emobiment of that inner voice -- that inner "scream." This brings people five steps ahead in understanding why this style of music is relavanat.

I think how part one the rain represented sadness and part two the snow numbness and part three the fire anger.

I haven't cried in years. 11:38 absolutely tears my heart in two!

13:02 You'll also notice how much of a journey the 20 minute track is in that it starts with rain for the first 30 or so seconds, and it fades out to the anti-thesis of water with a crackling fire as the only sound. From sadness to, as the final phrase of the lyrics go, "Dancing like flames after all that I've done/I'll salt the earth and disappear in a sea of fire." A recall to the title of part I (dancing like flames), then part II (After All That I've Done), concluding with the title of part III (In A Sea of Fire) to close out the trilogy.

I think the first part of the trilogy is the best still, it caught me totally off guard. I was not mentally prepared to be emotionally moved by a deathcore song. That said, the way they built the trilogy with the first having the rain, the second it's turned to snow and the last is the sea of fire is such a good idea! I think they are sort of stages of grief, with the first one being sorrow/sadness, second one being depression and third one is anger. Unfortunate that the protagonist couldn't overcome the third stage though, never arriving at the fourth step, acceptance.

As it is it's one of the most beautiful, brutal trilogies I can think of.

Hey Beth, I love your reactions and analysis. You are one of the few people I watch who always finds the groove and can move/headbang to the rhythm of any genre. Please react to the video for “Yen” by Slipknot.

this trilogy hits me differently, its not the concept, not even the story but the lyrics just out of pure honesty. those who went through real pain, facing and fighting the same demon everyday, until it reaches the point where there is no room left for happiness, no purpose of smiling and no point of controlling the chaos anymore, and just let it be till u actually forget what is happiness and what its like to be loved. just burn everything.

Theres an album called old souls by make them suffer, to understand its story your have to listen to it in a backward order The story is somewhat similar but in more depth

The end instrumental part got me everytime

Lorna Shore is fantastic. Thank you for doing all three. You should look into Avatar, Johannes has a wild voice.

Anthony green- dear child. That’ll blow your mind

The very last stanza ties all three together "Dancing like flames after all that I've done I'll salt the earth and disappear in a sea of fire"

Hello! You're cool)))) I watched for the first time about JINJER, I liked you very much. Now I watch you more often . and it's better for you. If you don't mind, I'll come to you for coffee.))) I'm a Scandinavian myself, half Russian, I don't know the language well. Happy New Year to you!!! Happiness, love and peace!!!

#1 is the preparation of the end. #2 is the depression. #3 is the anger after. A collection of the prosses of extreme emotion.

Oh shit, 666k subs? The perfect amount

они лучшие!

8:50 i got Body covering goosebumps for solid 30 seconds 😳

Cool video. Cool person

Part 3 is about finalization he know he doesn’t “ in this world I made to be infinite ( I forgot the part here then ) that a world with out you isn’t ment for me” it’s he’s committed to seeing her

was that a dark souls reference at the end? LOL the sound of the bonfire

Will Ramos says he cries every single time he does this song live…:(

It's actually composer's mind what i've gotten. Which is rhythm guitarist...and you can check his name yourself. Nobody ever gives him credits. His surname starts with O'

Hi Beth. Regarding Lorna Shore there's little more we can say that hasn't been said before. Being one of the few pros that react to extreme vocals I'd like to bring to your attention a band that literally blew my mind vocallywise. That's the vocal playthrough ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cdq5KmiyJ7c.html and I am very curious what'd you say about that man... Gosh, to me he sounds even more inhuman that Will. Have a great New Year! Cheers!

Damm Beth....

can i be sincere? they have a bit influences of French band Anorexia Nervosa...songs like drudenhaus or Stabar mater dolorosa etc etc most in the intensity or the symphonic area

5:20 all of Pain Remains 1-3 is in 4/4 time for what it’s worth

29 December 2022: *665 k* subs! So close to *666* 😈, Beth! Soon... 🤘😀

Renunited in heaven

metalcore does not transmit feelings.... lorna shore: you will cry

Least he's finally reunited with her.

Ill salt the earth and dissappear into sea of fire

As hecho que el grupo llame mí atención seguiré su música bien Beth 💙💜👏👏🍀🍀

react to Infant annihilator -Blasphemy, and pure chaos

Just react to ado and your mind is blowing

The way that Will explained these three songs, the video doesn't match the lyrics in a literal way, but certainly does in a figurative way.

Could you listen to WHEN DEATH UNCHAINS THE SPECTRE by OBSIDIAN GATE…. Obsidian gate is one of the most underrated symphonic black metal bands. The album was orchestrated by professionals and it shows, one of the most beautiful songs even as a black metal song lol. (I think the piece is in C minor)
