Architects - Doomsday : My Reaction Videos #1,508

[@coltonreynolds7753]

The video is actually full of meaning. It’s about their former guitarist dying of cancer

[@Brian4096x]

To give some context for the video, one of the guitarists in this band, Tom Searle, passed away due to cancer last year. The song and the video were done to pay tribute to him. Tom also served as the main lyricist for the band and this was a song that he started before he passed and the rest of the band finished it in his honor.

[@avnc10]

Also, the drummer (sitting in the beginning of the videoclip) is Tom's twin...

[@williamroeben]

And you see, that is out of video information that I have no way of knowing. Thank you for telling me, but there was no way to know this in the video.

[@EDJR0]

Some of the points you missed in the video! This video is portraying Tom Searle, the former guitarist that was in the band that passed away due to cancer, it portrays him rising into the heavens. This was made in tribute to him as this was a song he never got to finish before his death so the rest of the band finished it for him in his honor!

[@williamroeben]

And you see, that is out of video information that I have no way of knowing. Thank you for telling me, but there was no way to know this in the video.

[@RodekkkOnly]

The video itself describes the passing of Tom, their former guitarist, who passed away in 2015 due to skin cancer. Him and Dan (the drummer) were twins playing together in the band since the beginning. This song was written by Tom but he never got to finish it, so the band finished his project after his passing as a tribute. All of the universe and space images represent Tom ascending and becoming at peace with the world/universe. All of the members in the video are slowly fading into particles, which can represent that we are all slowly meeting our end and dissapearing from the world untill there is nothing left of us physically.

RodekkkOnly *2016

[@mpk6664]

RodekkkOnly Dan actually wrote this song. Sam said this at their concert at the Pallace in London.

[@doug5838]

The song is about the bands former guitarist who died of cancer

[@purfias]

I think you'll find that the song and the video has greater context than you could imagen when you find out that it's the last song their guitarist started to write before he passed away from cancer (wildfire spread). The guy walking around is suppose to be Tom as he leaves this plain and discovers the "next" stop (be it universe, heaven or what else.)

[@williamroeben]

That is out of video information that I had no way of knowing. Thank you for telling me, but there was no way to know this in the video.

[@aintlifeacabochon5254]

Tom is also the drummer’s twin brother

[@keksac]

In the end you said "it means nothing in the context of the song" like you are sure of it when in fact it has a lot of meaning. Like you said you had no way of knowing if it means something or it doesn't. Anyway i'm not hating just saying,love your videos! Cheers!

[@mpk6664]

Rat MYFHC Just a correction. Tom didn't write this song, Dan did. It's about his fear of forgetting his brother in the future.

[@padraigmurphy3540]

Their old guitarist Tom Searle recently passed away from cancer. His brother, Dan, is the drummer and the one playing the character in the video. From what I have gathered the video portrays Dan as Tom. Tom is achieving enlightenment/ascending to a "heaven-like" place while everyone one else is slowly fading away which flows with the lyrics of the song being about the impact of Tom's death.

[@Ranesbane]

I think that effect they use is symbolic of them losing a piece of themselves after their bandmate died.

[@x3wildcard]

The video is depicting the ephemeral nature of life, of the soul. The man you see throughout is passing on, and the band around him is being torn apart by his passing. The song is about Tom, a band member and the dummer's brother, who died of cancer after being told the cancer was gone. As for vocal coaching, the lead singer is singing about one of his best friends' passing; all the vocal coaching in the world isn't going to help you through that level of intense emotion. On top of that, the lead songwriter for the band.. was Tom himself. I don't know this, but it's likely he wrote at least parts of the song himself. The key phrase--to me at least--in this song is "I have to do this for you/ and the only way out is through." Referring to the fact that they were in the middle of the record when Tom passed, but they finished and vowed to keep making music because it was his passion. It's a message to all those who have lost that there's still a future, still a reason to continue. One of the best songs of 2017.

[@toastytap]

The video techniques actually mean alot with the song. The particle effect slowly increases as the song progresses to show the "fade away" of the life of Tom Searle

[@williamroeben]

And you see, that is out of video information that I have no way of knowing. Thank you for telling me, but there was no way to know this in the video.

[@toastytap]

i completely understand, without background knowledge there doesnt seem to be a whole lot of meaning

[@mattscfc849]

This band have helped me out so much over the last year or so, i have anxiety and depression issues, then my marriage broke down. But listening to this band has helped me out massively. Sams voice is very unique.

[@Ankshus]

It's about losing their band mate, and the video symbolizes us all returning to star dust.

[@Witty_Jackson]

Imagine thinking Sam Carter needs voice training 😂

[@Witty_Jackson]

And that the visuals "aren't tied to the context of the song" without knowing what the context is. Wow.

[@williamroeben]

I even say in the videos that I go into all these COLD. With ZERO research. SO I have ZERO understanding of what has come before. So I can treat each video as its own unit and judge it on that. I stand on everything I said.

[@Witty_Jackson]

@@williamroeben but you still state them as facts, like you are a vocal teach or you have studied the songs meaning. You don't ask the piece any questions, you deliberately don't presume there is more to the piece of art than what you picked up on your first listen... Just my feedback.

[@samanthaspeaks4206]

WittyJackson right?! Im like wtf.. hahaha

[@frontrowvideos3663]

The video is showing their drummer (dan) as their guitarist that passed away (Tom) back in August 2016 they were brothers aswell RIP TOM ❤️

[@double00troubleable]

Video and their techniques used, mean everything in context of song. Related to the bands experience of losing their main song writer to testicular cancer. I appreciate your honest open review of a metal song that is very special to me.

[@myohmyDesign]

It was melanoma/skin cancer.

[@double00troubleable]

Oh excuse me. My mistake. Thanks for the correction Silentkid

[@double00troubleable]

@@ziadjamal7377 you sound intelligible

[@jessezimmermann3570]

The video has everything to do with the song.

[@williamroeben]

I do state MANY times that visual metaphor and symbolism escape me. But just SAYING it without putting anything behind it is like saying "Elephants have EVERYTHING to do with the song."

[@avnc10]

Omg I'm so glad you reacted to this... They are amazing in terms of lyrics.... I hope you have a great day!

[@wwyd4akb]

excellent work my dude, loved the video

[@emContradiction]

The video is about their old guitarist who just passed away from cancer ascending into heaven. The song relates as well. This is the first song they wrote without him

[@robloner7624]

As far as I know, Tom (guitarist's name) wrote a part for this song. Anyway, I can't help but agree, that this song is really very good.

[@lucasschmitter444]

The part that made the video even more powerful is the guy in the video is the drummer who is Tom's twin brother.

[@siim605]

It's not about ascending to "heaven", but rather, turning into stardust or something of that sort. Architects express their anti-religiosity in a lot of their tracks and therefore they don't believe in heaven.

[@daximus5988]

Most of the guys in the band are atheist, especially Tom, so they likely don't believe in heaven. In fact Tom was one of the more oustpoken atheists of the band.

[@jasonbracewell6279]

emContradiction Listen to Broken Cross, they aren't religious.

[@zazorah8888]

Hi man ! Really enjoy your reactions ! I would love for you to react to Surroundings - Weakness/Progression. A great song with deep lyrics and an awesome video ! You would definitely appreciate it.

[@bradyblanton5702]

The song is for their guitarist that passed away from cancer. and the video, (in my opinion) is showing someone dying and then being reborn. how their guitarist passed away and they have came out of it still doing what they love to do. Hopefully that helps you understand better, my dude :)

[@williamroeben]

Absolutely, thank you!

[@Unearthlywhales]

Yeah this is one of the few instances that the video actually does tell a very important visual story and should be paid attention to. I understand your viewpoint if you don't know the story of the death of Tom Searle. His brother (the drummer) Dan Searle kind of played his brother and it tells the story of ascending intro another plane of life. At least that is my interpretation of it. Try to look into what happened to the Searle Family and the band it adds a lot to the weight of the song and the video. Glad you checked it out NearlySeniorCitizen and do so again in your own time to really feel what the weight of the song feels like.

[@coal_91]

Unearthlywhales You got the message of the video a bit wrong. Dan said it's about himself (he's playing himself) accepting the death of Tom ;)

[@Unearthlywhales]

Ah never knew, thanks for the correction :)

[@lucidtickle8347]

You've reacted to almost every song I search lmao

[@apfirdaus5065]

I've thumbed up due to what you write at the white board. Good day to you sir!

[@metalhead2009]

You need to do more Thousand Foot Krutch songs. I only saw you do Running With Giants. There are other songs that are not good unnoticed by TFK. Please that is all I ask.

[@sfmikica]

I don't watch reaction videos but this drew my attention and don't regret at all, good honest opinion is always valued!

[@vicentecardoso8817]

They lost the most influential piece to their band he wrote lyrics, melodies, and main guitar....the video is literally a full representation of all of that! You dismissed it as if was just a tingle for the senses....it’s literally visual art for the rest of the orchestration!!! Again I love your stuff but please do some sort of homework on it

[@williamroeben]

I go into videos cold- I NEVER do research until AFTER I do a reaction.

[@andrewcarroll8171]

I think you'll love and be blown away by a song called Don't Lose You're Heart by Dream On, Dreamer they are a band from Australia this song is incredible

[@jessezimmermann3570]

I said only this because people who commented before me said what I would have said. Didn't mean any disrespect.

[@vicentecardoso8817]

I like you’re videos but as you spoke about him needing vocal lessons you were literally talking over his soft vocals. You didn’t hear his real vocals! Pause and look at lyrics

[@williamroeben]

Please watch the beginning of any of my 1,670 reaction videos where I explain why I CAN'T do what you ask.

[@wertknickster]

Hey! I’d like to hear your opinions on Too Close To Touch’s song, “Eiley”. It is so deep and never fails to make me cry. I like what you have to say about songs in your reactions, so doing this one would mean a lot to me.

[@wertknickster]

If you were to react to it, I would recommend watching the lyric video for it so you can really get the feel of what he’s conveying.

[@Wehttam]

100% Agree.

[@EllwinNSF]

These reaction videos are really entertaining

[@terciosonic]

Daniel dore Taste is subjective, there's no such thing as a shitty suggestion. Although i like some of emo bands here and there i'm actually not the biggest fan of the genre. Weezer is power pop-rock, kanye is a rapper, two door cinema club is alternative rock. The only emo band on the list is fucking paramore, and their last record is a full blown 80s pop lp. So, if you have a problem with my taste in music, Fuck You. Just because you dont enjoy some type of music doesnt mean its bad.

[@terciosonic]

Daniel dore by the way, you're a fucking Linkin Park fan, you have no credit calling someone a 14 year old emo if you're a fan of the emoest nu metal act that ever existed. I'm a LP fan, and even i admit some of their older stuff is cringy so shut the hell up.

[@flyingpolyp5937]

This video is absolutely fantastic. If you do some research regarding the band's background and watch it again, I'm positive you'll have a different opinion!! Also, you missed the clean vocal while you were talking about the vocalist's voice! All the best, peacee

I do believe the music video itself references a film titled The Fountain. The imagery is very similar

[@wildcow3463]

Its about their former guitarist who died of cancer and they are using the drummer (his twin) as the actor represented him becoming one with the universe

[@xnervousx]

the drums in this song are actually a good example of "drum assistance" you were talking about in the dark funeral video. these drums are heavily triggered. a drum trigger is something attached to each separate drum. once the drum is hit, it sends a signal through to a device that puts a pre-recorded drum sample in the place of the actual drum sound. you can actually blend the acoustic sound and the triggered drum sound in post-production. a lot of bands over use triggers. i'm glad you're reacting to these heavier bands though! still, react to easy easy by king krule at some point! you may enjoy it. you may not. anyway, thank you. thumbs up for that!

[@coal_91]

Anne Frank I dont hear that lot of triggers at all in Architects songs. Maybe the Bassdrum.

[@xnervousx]

ScorpionLP I feel like the toms and snare are samples blended with acoustic hits. The bass drum is def triggered tho. Lol

[@cheezface94]

Look at a live video. Why would Architects drummer Dan Searle need to use triggers in any recording, when he can play each song live perfectly every time. A professional drummer like him would never resort to a cheaper, easy way around recording.

[@mpk6664]

Anne Frank He doesn't actually use samples/triggers. He has said in the past that he doesn't like them.

[@mpk6664]

Tomm Leigh Lots of professional drummers use triggers.

[@randerins]

You talk way too much. Pay attention to the song FIRST!

[@williamroeben]

R.B. - skipped the beginning of the video then, did you?

[@DeltaCain13]

NearlySeniorCitizen Yetagamer disclaiming that you’re aware of your bad form is not an excuse to continue to keep your bad form. You’re videos may as well be called ramblings or non-reactions, because your mislead people with your title.
