This song was originally written about the chronic fighting since 2014 with Russian-backed separatists in their homeland of the Donetsk region in eastern Ukraine, but it has an even greater emotional impact since psychopath Putin's all-out invasion in February 2022.

Such a epic song, but it still breaks me knowing what they have been (and still are )going through. They are some of the kindest and most humble people you could ever hope to meet and that makes the song hit even harder. Great reaction!

The war between Russia and Ukraine didn't start in 2022. It started in 2014. When Russia occupied Crimea and part of Donbass. In 2022, it escalated into a full-scale war.

This is their first refugee experience imagined through the eyes of a child. The war in Ukraine has been going on longer than most people know.

Sorry to hear you haven't been well, hope you're fully recovered soon. Three quarters of Jinjer are from Donestsk in the East of Ukraine which was essentially occupied by Russia (or at least Russian backed forces) in 2014 - they were forced from their homes then and this song is about that

They've been dealing with this from 2014 when they were driven from their homes by Russia backed separatists. For them, the war has been going nearly 10 years. They are from Eastern Ukraine, where "civil war" had been a part of their lives for far too long.

What's fucking crazy is that I had a bad trip on shrooms and went into psychosis the SAME DAY they dropped this song, and I saw it when I got home from the hospital that night. So weird that they released a song with these lyrics on the same day.

I'm amazed to see that you haven't covered Home Back yet. It's a brilliant, intense, technical piece with a wonderful surprise lounge jazz interlude in the middle & a brutally heavy ending. The Official Music Video perfectly captures the lyrical subject matter, which is in itself very heavy, being about how war brutalizes & destroys child-like innocence. The song was written in the aftermath of the 2014 Russian annexation of Crimea & support of militant separatists in the Donbass region of Ukraine, where 3 of the 4 band members are from (the drummer being from the Kiev region). The 2021 Live at Hellfest performance is superb!

🤘🇺🇦🤘

I'm not sure of other reggae like songs of theirs but I enjoy Pit of Consciousness live in Kyiv

Appreciation the attempt Sound is required not done Pit of Consciousness live Kiev will make up awesome

Good reaction. For another great performance react to "Captain Clock" live at Resurrection Fest. (Subbed)

A few suggestions from me, in case you’re not familiar with these bands. I think it’s the best first time diving into their stuff. Be’lakor - Countless Skies Ne Obliviscaris - And plague flowers the kaleidoscope (live in Colorado) Epica - Kingdom of Heaven pt1 (live in Mexico)

Man, you never miss with Wintersun 🌀🌀🌀✊✊✊

🤘🇺🇦🤘

thanx for your reaction on this wonderful band!!! warm greetings from germany

Hands down one of the very best live bands on the planet! Awesome reaction, keep the Jinjer coming!

Hell ya, that *was* awesome!

Lol jinjer live stuff is them at their best......elite level proggy djenty groove metal......they did bloodstock 2022 too......the full set is posted on bloodstock's channel.

This is as close to perfect as you can get for a live performance! Great reaction!

In this live performance, some of the clean vocals are supplemented by backing tracks, & there's some kind of high-pitched echoing sound effect at the transition at about 4:18 to 4:20 (of your video) that is probably in a backing track. Other than that, this is fully live. I think that we fans appreciate that the live sound is more dynamic / uncompressed than the studio version. I find this most noticeable on the drums & vocals. Also, the live growls are just incredibly good throughout this performance, especially during the doomy section from about 3:30 (of your video) through the end of the track. I mean *really unbelievably* good. This band is a great subject for double features in which you react to the official music video (studio track) & a live performance. Off hand, I'm not sure what you've already reacted to, but here's a list of suggested double features: "Home Back" official + live at Hellfest 2021 (no audience due to COVID) "Ape" official + one-shot live "Vortex" official + live at Hellfest 2021 (no audience due to COVID) "I Speak Astronomy" official + live at Summer Breeze 2018 "Sit Stay Roll Over" official + live in Melbourne "On the Top" official + live in Kiev "Captain Clock" official lyric video + live at Resurrection Fest 2018 "Cloud Factory" official + official live "Who is Gonna Be The One" official live is, IMO, better than the studio track in *every way,* but there's not even a lyric video to go with the studio track. Still, it's good to hear the studio track first for comparison.

Just an observation…you seem to be looking for problems. Being truthful is important..but you know that 95% of the people clicking on a Jinjer reaction vid are Jinjer fans..right? So maybe look on the bright side of things and not seem to be off put by things like, you know, it sounding as good as the studio version. Prob they’re just not you cup of tea.

This live performance was recorded not too long after the album was released. I have noticed more variations and minor changes in songs as the songs get older.

I would suggest to get the spectrum I get the feeling you're looking for, maybe go back in time to when they were fresher, newer, less experienced, and then work your way through to the present when they have all the equipment, lots of experience, and have are being presented as a proper high-end band. Go back to Sit Stay Rollover, Outlander, Scissors, Just Another...do the same comparison...I will bet you will not only see that gap between studio and live but get acclimated to their sound and be able to distinguish their growth from where they were to where they are...I also believe that when you do that, and you get to hear this track again, live...or maybe Vortex live...you will have that much more of an appreciation for just how amazingly talented this band and every member of it, is.

🤘🇺🇦🤘

Watching both is awesome. I love the video of PoC

Awesome reaction! Glad you are continuing the Jinjer journey! Keep em coming!

I love both versions!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And I also don't think that most Jinjer songs have better live versions than studio versions, there are a hell of a lot of good live versions but also a lot of very good studio versions of the songs including the corresponding videos. But that's just my opinion and that's kinda critical considerations on a very high level! thanx for your reaction and warm greetings from germany

As for me personaly - I didn't get the point of this song and I didn't like it until I've heard/saw the live in Kiyv version. Now it's in my top-3 Jinjer list I guess. Overall, most Jinjer songs have better live version then studio recording.

Lol this is a great official video but the live in Kiev version is even better

95% prefer the live Kiev,told you so but it’s your channel.Some reactors do a double,the OMV followed by the live which works well but not many do it

I prefer the live in Kyiv version

The live in Kiev video is amazing. As much as I love this video, the live version really hits. Check it out when you have the chance.

The most underated Jinjer song!

Great Reaction! This song really grew on me, but I do feel there are better songs on this album. I wish they would have filmed a video for this one!

To me, the 1st 2/3rds or so of this song kind of drones, so it's one of my least favourites. The mellow part about 3/4 through is quite beautiful, though.

Off this album I would highly recommend Pit of Consciousness the live at Kiev and Retrospection live Melbourne along with Home Back OMV.Your really missing out on their stage performance and they sound as good if not better live than the studio almost like Tatiana adds something extra live

"Pausing Death" is good (I'm afraid however that I'm so into Jinjer I'm not sure I'd call anything bad) but there's pretty definitely better songs on Macro . I think Macro is my favourite album from them so far so I'd encourage you to dig in and explore it further

thanx one more time for your interest in this wonderful band, and also for your reactions! warm greetings from a german musician

Congrats on nailing your interview! Keep the Jinjer coming! Awesome reaction!

Best band of the last decade, hands down!

It’s 51 now. You got a new sub! 🌀🌀🌀👍👍👍

Transience and The chosen path - my favorites off this incredible album. Definitely worth your reaction 🌀🌀🌀🙏🙏🙏🔥🔥🔥

This was unexpected. But thanks anyway. Shylmagoghnar is too good! 🌀🌀🌀🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍

It is different. You'll always find a touch of prog in everything they do, but classifying them is almost impossible at this point.
