So, I heard FALLING IN REVERSE's New Song...

[@hotelkiloactual]

Ronnie tweeted that he did this in one take. Said he was at the recording studio for 25 minutes. Mad talent right there.

[@Frederick0220]

The video or the recording of the sound?

Ronnie is super talented but idk if I believe that lol

Yeh and who ever mixed it probably filled in yhe gaps

[@QveenXsiren]

Lol

[@empiref0kr]

Papa Roach version - we were angry teens mad at the world! Falling In Revers version - we are broken adults tired of the world! Its a masterpiece

[@grego2280]

Facts!!

[@alexandermcknight248]

💚🤜🤛🖤

[@DropXplode]

Im young but both kinda relatable

[@lisacardenas9098]

So true! ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥 This song means so much!! His voice is amazing!!

[@pierredrucker8380]

100% agree!

[@miketheviking_]

This is absolutely haunting…. It gave me the same feelings that Disturbed Sound of Silence and Johnny Cash Hurt did. These covers really allowed the lyrics to tell their heartbreaking stories how they truly wanted to be heard.

[@MunkeeFWRrng]

Same. I love it when other artists do this. It makes the lyrics hit you 10x harder.

[@rad4end]

Yo man ! You described it so damn well!

[@elizabethparsons1071]

Sound of silence covered by disturbed was an unbeatable masterpiece imo. It's a truly stunning work of art

[@zoegartham312]

@@elizabethparsons1071 Oh definitely. It is incredible what David Draiman/Disturbed did with such a classic song. Loved the original, love the cover as much or more.

[@zoegartham312]

The only thing that I could debate is what we call this. Disturbed most definitely covered Sound Of Silence in my mind, as the melody, harmony, and everything else related to it is essentially the same. I can't speak to Johnny Cash's Hurt; it's not something I have had the chance to hear, nor is the original. I think Falling In Reverse labeled it correctly when they said it was a reimagining of the song and NOT actually a cover. While the lyrics are the same, the melody only has a passing resemblance to the Papa Roach song, enough to pay homage to it, but (in my mind, and opinion) not enough to be considered a direct cover of the song. Of course, this is probably splitting hairs, and both versions are incredible for what they are and what they have given us.

[@luv2behot2003]

Ronnie melted my soul with his vocals on this. Last resort got me through high school so this hits hard for me.

[@pixel_glitched]

The added visual symbolism really adds to this - not only the crumbing buildings - but the fact that at the end - they _reform and rebuild themselves._ Really fitting, as the band is called _FALLING IN REVERSE._ It's uplifting. It's overcoming what has dragged you down.

[@jw70467]

Just as you have the ability to tear the world down around you, you can will it back together. The buildings didn't reform and rebuild themselves, he rebuilt his world.

[@suprmn1978]

This rendition gives me new respect for Jacoby and what he must have been going through when this song was written. The original is such a banger you don’t get the impact of the lyrics. Ronnie woke this song up and opened up gave new meaning to it. Love both but this just got me. Depression is real. Great reaction. Give the wife some headphones. 😂

[@nikkiwooton6198]

I would LOVVVVVVE a whole album of reimagined covers by him... he's so amazingly talented and RIDICULOUSLY underrated as a vocalist but also as a musician...

[@rebekahcarter8120]

Yes!!

[@optimusprime7243]

He's definitely not underrated lol, everyone knows how insane he is, considering Everytime he comes out with a new song, it ends up a masterpiece, it breaks the fxckin internet and people go insane over it XD

[@nikkiwooton6198]

@optimusprime7243 you are entitled to your opinion the same as I am entitled to mine. I feel as though he is underrated because a lot of people don't see how he is not just in a singer in a band but a talented musician as well. He KILLS the piano and sings beautifully. Not just rock, but heart-felt ballads like this. He is a musical genius in the way he does his "reimagined" songs.

[@missbittykitty1506]

Papa roach: we are angry teenagers. Ronnie: We are broken adults

[@MetalHeadCoder]

I can't remember any song that hit me square in the chest with such emotion and actually brought me to tears like this did. Well done once again, Ronnie.

[@kefkaspawn79]

Honestly Alex, I never really heard the lyrics as a younger man listening to Papa Roach, but this version had a way of really reaching in and tearing out your darkest feelings and putting them on a plate in front of you to feast on.

[@jesperschultz5568]

One of your reaction colleagues said: "Ronnie´s voice is the purest form of mortal struggle" - that is..probably the biggest compliment, and on point ways to describe a master. Thank you Alex. You hand out some master reactions too, and always have other nuances to your evaluations. Thank you for doing this.

[@annabell5453]

This Version is so good. You can deeply hear the pain and the emotion in his voice 😢❤

[@chelseacarpenter2302]

This song was a cover that I didn't know I needed and wanted but here we are, and I'm absolutely in love with it! I saw it the day it came out and it gave me goosebumps! Much love from Arizona 💜💜

[@TheSirensCalls]

Dude every time I hear this it legit chills me to my soul! He breathes this song into a new level of existence!! I’ve never felt this way with any other song!

[@Singraft]

I have went from video reaction to video reaction on this, glad you liked it. It’s amazing how this song communicates to everyone. Absolute dynamite 🧨

[@chefmott1]

I'm glad I'm not the only one that does this. I have like 10-15 reactors that I watch on the regular and when a new track comes out that really blows me away I will watch them all. Back to back if possible. I feel I have a great grasp on music and meanings in songs but I feel like I have become so much wiser because I listen to all the other views and I learn something new from every single one of them!! You could almost say some of these reactors are in my top 5 people in my life, at least an aspect, and that's made me a better appreciation and understander of music.

[@friendlyNemesis]

I do the same! Currently on Tour of Reactors for Last Resort. LOL. Watching someone new experience FIR is one of my favorite past times. ha! But I also love their take and digging into comments for good nuggets of information. I have learned a lot in doing that.

[@shanebarkley1833]

Ronnie’s vocals sound so haunting and it really makes the lyrics shine in a different way than the original. So freaking good. Eiley by too close to touch would be a great song to react to if you haven’t already!! It’s also very emotional and chilling

[@jacobsmom83]

Love it too .. its like hes bringing back what we as teens used to listen to and rage in anger and defiance of our parents.. Now hes doing it like hes been threw some shit and singing to our adult selfs.. loved it

[@burningstage4461]

Wanna hear more from your wife, she's funny 😁 Thanks for this reaction, you never disappoint. Ronnie is a god.

[@xyeetusx]

Not many songs get a visceral reaction out of me, but this one does especially with everything going on in my life. Man it hits home.

[@ZarathosDaimaoh]

Nice reaction to a great song , as per usual . Also much love to your wife , her spontaneous bits and comments are the extra bit of spice i never knew your videos needed . As far as suggestions go , i think you'd love the group “Caskets“ .. they had some really great songs like “Guiding Lights“

[@badkittyak69]

The emotion really hit me..I was in tears by the end of it.. every time I hear this. Absolutely beautifully done.

[@karen5670]

The song is beautifully complex . The use of the string quartet is on point and I never could have imagined it delivered like this without seeing it for myself . The song has a unique cinematic feel to it!!! I love Hearing your take on songs

[@kymgilbert8513]

Absolutely one of my all-time favorite bands and singers. Ronnie could sing the phone book w/ elegance and grace. I just hope he sings this when we see them in 2 weeks ❤❤❤

[@heavenwithin81]

I just love Ronnie's ability to arrange and know exactly how to phrase words and what keys to sing it in and all with that fullness and dynamic range. He just knows what to put where. Thanks Ronnie!

[@coreymcdaniel2759]

This cover song is an entire vibe! It's so beautifully and masterfully done. Absolute masterpiece! Ronnie is truly at the top of his game right now and changing the game completely with dtuff like this. Very impressive! There's a video of Jacoby reacting to it as well. It made me do happy to see the mutual respect for each others talents and see how far they have both come as artists since they started. Amazing!

[@Gwydion_Wolf]

Ive posted this on a few other reaction vids.. but personal story for me... Goosebumps...... just.... goosebumps...... And quite a few tears.... 😭 The original song, came out at a godsend moment for me. I was dealing with a relapse (for lack of a better term to use) of a medical issue in my late teens that had my lungs randomly collapsing. Was in a really dark place due to the constant collapses + scars from surgeries..... the Original is what kept me from staying down and gave me the strength to claw my way back out of that pit. 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... 5:16 = that moment when i was at my lowest during those days, literally teetering on a knife-edge ...... 5:21 + is what this song, in its original form, did for me.

[@sw_elian]

This band never disappoints. They are always on top. Every music or other they create is a pure and huge masterpiece. Thank you for your reaction Alex, I was looking forward to it 🙏

[@younggretzky9011]

Love the reaction. But not enough people are talking about the end of the video and how a cover ties into an ordinal they did “Watch the world burn”. Really sick stuff.

[@infin8reactions]

I made the connection in my reaction 😁😉

[@rebekahcarter8120]

Really brings out the meaning of the words. Love it. And yes, I love that his voice can be both operatic & clear but also raw & edgy.

[@LyssieLyrical]

I love both versions so much but for two totally different reasons. One for more of an angry, anxious depression, the other for the really low, deep melancholic depression.... like two stages of grief....If that makes sense... Hard to explain... I cant get enough of this one though 🖤

[@sum1zdad292]

Went in looking forward to rap hip hop metal and maybe a touch of drama... Found my heart on floor. It bled out all my emotions. My life changed two years ago, rather not focus on it, and the lyrics are more relatable than ever. Goddamn.Ronnie, it's not fair giving us some of the dopest metal out there then make us feel again with a powerfully emotional performance.

[@kbrewers]

I want to say, like the most unexpected thing about this was, that there was no huge rock breakdown at the end. And I think for this song, i loved the decision to keep it visceral and emotional til the end. And that it brought the flames back to heal the world, rather than the end of watch the world burn. its a cool duality, or maybe its just an easter egg connecting the two.

[@rosejones2304]

The first one of course is amazing! Played the heck out of that version. This is the version we didn’t know we needed. I’ve had it on repeat as much as possible.

[@danmontague8312]

Love or hate this guy, he is amazing and his talent is unmatched. Terrific range.. he always impresses.

[@josefgordon7712]

Reminds me of when Johnny Cash covered NIN Hurt. Same song, same theme, two distinct interpretations and they are both amazing tracks.

I was at the opening night of their Popular Monster tour a few days ago in Charleston W.V. They are so amazing live! Great reaction!

[@lashedsuns4529]

I'll be seeing them next week! Thank you for doing this one. I lost my mom a few years ago, but I was driving home from errands the other night and Papa Roach's version came up on Spotify. When that verse came up, "it all started when I lost my mother", I had to pull over. I parked on a dirt road for about 20 minutes with that song and the reimagined on repeat. I was just thinking about life. It took me some time to get my nerves back, but this song just hits home once in a while. I hope they play a reimagined track or two when I see them in Iowa, though. Much love, Alex!

Great reaction Alex!! I'm 46 and a HUGE fan of the original. When it first came out...EPIC! Ronnie's take is absolutely beautiful. ❤ The lyrics have never hit me this hard. Imo, both versions are PERFECT! Just saw FIR and INK on Thursday, and this song shook the entire venue 🔥🔥🔥🔥

I’m an Aussie, and have been waiting for you to do this, I checked yesterday. Its3.59am here and I can’t sleep so look at my iPad and here it is!! Never clicked so fast in my life! The original song was not well known here, so I had never heard it before. This is fricking beautiful!! I musically am in love with this man and his voice, and the piano always does it for me (classically trained pianist here until I discovered boys). I did go and listen to Papa Roach after hearing this, polar opposites of each other in the delivery. I love this song much!! And major kudos to @SeanRooneyMusic for the stunning piano arrangement again. just wow!!

[@StephanieJBlack-1313]

Spent half of 2018 in this kind of madness. So Grateful to have lived through to hear this young bands' rendition.

This is great ... Ronnie is incredible... like jaw dropping amazing... I am so glad he reimagines music... his voice and the musical accompaniment is bang on.. the PASSION in his voice... wow.. just WOW

[@Death66636]

The paino ❤ and his vocals, the range ,this gave me chills 😢 it was like he let it all out his past , the doubters , him being incarcerated his past troubles. You can hear the screams in his voice 😢❤ so good ❤❤ It's because of this and all that I said makes this song more meaningful

[@april6058]

I was waiting for your reaction! You never disappoint. This song is so beautiful and haunting 😢❤️‍🔥. My take on the end is the world after WTWB is repairing itself, but he’s still not fine. 😔

[@WinterDahlin]

I'm surprised how many people didn't realize how deep the song really is I love Ronnie music video yes your world can fall apart around you but it's never too late to put it back together that's something the original doesn't have Ronnie's like a fine wine he gets better with age

[@trophyhunt4545]

Man so happy to see how Ronnie and FIR have grown and become just incredible. Their videos are also next level.

This gave me goosebumps! Fantastic remake, having the crescendos at just the right moments.

[@scottdraven2001]

Today was the first time hearing the version and omg it a master piece. It hits way differently I’ve almost cried four times. The part that hits the most is about losing your mom I lost my mom 2010 and no joke I didn’t want to be here anymore I would tell my friends the safest place for me was a padded room and a straight jacket. But still here and loving the version awesome job Ronnie thank you.

Ronnie is one of the greatest musicians of all time. I truly feel blessed to be here to enjoy his art.

[@megtwix721]

Okay WTF Ronnie! First he does this with his own songs, now he's covering other bands songs and doing the same thing? What can Ronnie NOT do someone please tell me, what can Ronnie Radke NOT make sound beyond words incredible? OMG! I LOVE this song and this makes me LOVE Ronnie and Falling in Reverse even MORE! Anyway this song HIT/SMACKED me HARD, the lyrics are so hauntingly beautiful and relatable I've been really struggling with depression for the last few weeks now. The last couple of days have been the worst, I've NEVER thought about taking my own life or cut myself and I NEVER would. BUT this song is depression/anxiety in a nutshell, the raw emotion in Ronnie's voice is insane. You can feel it in your soul literally OMG! I'd LOVE to see Falling in Reverse live, I'd lose my voice screaming the lyrics to all the songs they played. Popular Monster would make me have zero voice cause I'd scream the lyrics to that song so loud, I'd bawl my eyes out too, and if they played this song I'd cry harder.

[@blackbird42]

It's anger of the original vs desperation of the cover. They convey completely different emotions. Both are great songs.

[@ladyethyme]

When he says the line about losing his mother…that hit raw, especially knowing he grew up without his. Did you catch the end was the reverse of ‘watch the world burn” ending…??? He healed the world, not burn it.

The amount of emotional trauma this version unlocked for me is just unfair. I was an angry teenager when the OG came out, and resonated with me. This version feels like a grown up version of it since that rage and anger has turned into a painful understanding of my trauma.

[@rain-wanders]

I think what I found amazing about this is: the original is still the anger coming through, so depressed and done with it all that you're pissed as hell and wanting to still scream it to the world, let everyone know. This version? The screaming is done, the anger has all drained, and all you have left is the empty resignation that things will never get better, I'll never be fine..... THIS is my fate and I've got no fight left in me. I feel haunted because I've definitely been in THAT place before... resigned, completely out of fight... just resigned. *shiver* Yeah, don't ever want to be back there again.
