FALLING IN REVERSE - LAST RESORT (REIMAGINED) REACTION

[@enoch11001]

***FULL DISCLOSURE THIS IS MY OWN OPINION*** The original was (in my mind) a testament to our youth dealing with our sadness and sense of isolation but could only express it with anger and aggression. Time and experience has worn down our anger and we feel our sadness now more than ever. I believe Ronnie’s reimagining of this song is a looking glass showing ourselves as we are now. The meaning in the lyrics never changed… we did.

[@bryssdickinson1423]

Mejor explicación no puede haber 👏👏👏

[@johnnyjaycee9875]

Exactly what you said. 🤘

[@johnbenoit637]

I just read this to my girlfriend and it gave her the chills. She 100% agrees with this

[@owenskelly7039]

The original showed the rage behind the pain, this version shows the sadness behind the pain.

[@electronicweasel9083]

Many people start crying and get goosebumps.. he obviously nailed it..

[@MrJoehettler]

Ronnie absolutely slayed this cover. Hit me so hard ❤

[@fawnwalker7855]

I never realized how deep those lyrics were in the original.

[@michareacts]

Right!!

[@silver_crone]

I was 30 when Last Resort came out. I loved it. I was so blown away hearing this. The vulnerability in it, my god. I don't think the year 2000 would have been ready for 2 lines saying 'i'm contemplating suicide', nor for how deeply moving and personal this rendition is. The 2000s version gives me 'i'm broken and i'm angry about it' This version gives me 'i'm broken and i'm hoping showing you will help'

[@dawnz909]

I was 25 when it came out. It was more of a rock song to me then. Flash forward to to 2023 and I'm a 48 year old adult orphan, having lost my Mom in 2002 and my Dad in 2010. Not to mention several family members and a childhood friend in that 23 year time period. This song his completely different now.

[@d3sc3n7]

I'm an 80s kid, too (1980), and we, well, I had no idea what the lyrics really meant. Ronnie killed it

[@SilvaDreams]

Pft speak for yourself. I knew that song word for word and felt it to my core. This version still hits those old scars and makes them ache in the best way.

[@d3sc3n7]

@@SilvaDreams My grammar was terrible, but yes, I can only speak for myself there. this one almost feels like Jacoby wrote it for Ronnie. He really makes those lyrics feel like his.

[@volkerhoffmann3706]

In my opinion the song deserves number 1 in the charts because it's so awesome and beautiful

[@lagunamuir]

Papa Roach made this song when we needed it as angry teens. Ronnie did it for those of us that are now broken adults

[@gkt47341]

Damn. You are so correct

[@pocketsthekender]

I've been calling it Papa Roach: We're angsty teens, angry at the world. Ronnie Radke: We're broken adults, tired of the world.

[@Irtif.29]

Every each reaction used this words

[@mikedean7740]

The World Is Literally Falling In Reverse. Incredibly done, I love FIR. 💯

[@sethpino2963]

Falling in Reverse is the only reason I understood why other people loved music so much. I never understood or enjoyed music until I heard them recently

[@deviouslygecko]

I grew up on the original, listened to the lyrics, but the delivery made it easy to turn those feelings into more rebellious anger. Ronnie’s reimagining drove the lyrics home. Listened to Ronnie’s version about 15 times and every time it brings the waterworks. Absolutely incredible. Your reaction was great and makes it nice to know how many others from that era are loving this reimagining keep up the great content!

[@kingsfan62]

The tie into watch the world burn at the end was as epic as the song itself. Great reaction awesome song.

[@User21584]

It's like the way Disturbed did sound of silence. This is how it was supposed to sound.

[@PeterVejar666]

Dang ,very true

[@YankeeRedneck437]

Jacoby and Ronnie are friends. Theres a video on falling in reverse's channel with Jacoby listening to this reimagined version with Ronnie. It was so awesome. Ronnie is nervous and shaking doing this for the creator of the original. Jocoby freakin loved it. His mind was blown just like all of us. This shit is EPIC! If your reaction consisted of just your facial expressions throughout the whole song, no words would even need to be said. This was no cover. It was a religious experience.

[@bryssdickinson1423]

Cierto, vengo de ese video.

[@chadhobin6944]

Jacoby Shaddix listening to this song with Ronnie for his first time just puts a huge smile on your face. #PapaRoachFanForLife

[@deannafossen7682]

I am a huge FIR fan, that’s what brought me to you, I loved your reaction, you have a new subscriber!

[@ryanburnett8370]

I'm not crying, I swear

[@monicacruz8847]

Yes! Beautifully said

[@RobHall-gs9nx]

Great reaction! Stay open and share your raw feelings. It’s such a powerful song delivered this way. Keep it up!

[@johnjly5295]

Honestly I didn't know this version was done until I saw the video of Ronnie playing it for Jacoby and seeing Jacoby's reaction was absolutely astounding.

[@dhr2330]

I remember several months ago coming here to your channel, and you said I'm not really into emotional music and emotional song's, I thought that was interesting and a bit sad, then here we are several months later, and Ronnie decides to crawl into your emotions and tear them apart, with a song you said you heard thousands of times, yet you really never heard the song at all, you heard the music, but you never heard the lyrics and the message. I think it's ironic that you young people don't even know what you're listening to, I am 63 years old, and I am very intrigued by just how unaware you young people are when it comes to music, and especially lyrics, it was a beautiful thing to watch your tears, and to be able to watch this song touch your emotions with music and vocals is an incredible thing, not everyone can do it, the song is on another level if you haven't recognized that yet.

[@orangedrone]

Great vibe to this channel. Bg music etc

[@wtfissunlight3276]

Anger is always the first emotion to appear. It always masks what you’re actually feeling. So it’s fitting that the original is the angsty angry version, and the new anniversary version is more just pure emotion showing the true feelings behind the lyrics.

[@ktay7382]

Great reaction & analysis 👍👌✌️🇬🇧

[@awangiznan332]

The story line of FALLING IN REVERSE songs. ( My oppinion) VOICE IN MY HEAD- our mind under control of many things, we are all ZOMBIFIED. Now a days so many agenda n issues happen in this world n life. Then ronnie become a monster and WATCH THE WORLD BURN. Ronnie burn the world. We want world peace and clean again from war n other issues. This is our LAST RESORT. No body knows our problems. Ronnie n band was genius. Thanks for them make this cover songs with new style n make we understand the meaning about this songs .❤❤❤

[@gabrielsalazar9716]

Although I haven't seen the original version before, the reimagining is beautiful and the best version for me, Ronie is incredible.

[@LeperMessiah2]

New info. The initial vocals was done in 25 minutes and most of them was kept for the finished song. 😮 Its completely insane. Sean Rooney that composed and arranged for orchestra the other two is behind this too

[@FelycitySky]

I was born in mid 80th, so I grew up with Papa Roach´s "Last Resort" in ´00 I swear in my teenage time, this song was just a "rebel song" to show up how much you hate everything. ^^ THIS Ronnie Version... is what this song really means - desperation, pain, tears and at least some hope.

[@miller441mm]

I'm from the UK. But if I was going i would definitely be at the front for Imminence. They are 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@miller441mm]

Ps. This reaction was beautiful too. So genuine. I don't realise these lyrics too. Even tho I knew it word for word growing up. This just feels different.

[@christophercoon1716]

Wow great song choice to react to! I get goosebumps from it also. Ronnie transformed this song the way Disturbed transformed the Simon amd Garfunkle song "Sounds of Silence". I have no idea what Ronnie has been through in his life but his experiences permeate his singing and it is overwhelming and profound. Have you heard the new Falling in Reverse song "All My Life"?.

[@chadhobin6944]

Hell yeah Helsinki FTW!! \m/

[@Annaeve666]

Its true that when we were teens hearing the original we didn't think it was that deep song,but now this version..man, hits hard🥲

[@Elairee]

Because of the fact that the original song is so rebellious, I don't think a lot of people actually really listened to the lyrics. I didn't either. Ronnie's version hits so much harder.

[@aaronwaldron9273]

Love that your in Finland rip alexi I miss him so much

[@maartenkok4477]

Its kinda interesting that the same lyrics is an other setting can change the whole meaning. Pappa Roach version is the feeling of hate and anger on your breaking point. Falling in reverse making it about the silent suffering. The symfonic melodi gave goose bums.

[@michareacts]

Right! Yes, Papa Roach definitely went for a different reflection of feelings. Amazing take on the song!

[@vincespartacus372]

Good feeling react sister !!! Thx so much about this, salute from France & keep safe....

[@juliangutierrez7597]

It's the fact of the original song was very angry but the reimagined transformed that anger to melancholy

[@MrGenetix]

Your reaction is identical to mine after hearing it today 🥹

Masterpiece.

04:22 is when the reaction starts lol

seeing emotion like yours is why i watch reactors that really get into music :) sub now

It's insane how they are two different songs. Phoning in a request but do 'Hi Ren - Ren'. You won't regret it.

I'm a 90s kid and was first introduced to Papa Roach in '08 or '09, when I was like 13 or 14 yo I always knew these lyrics were sad af because one of the methods I use to learn and improve my English is by getting songs I like and reading they translation (and trying to translate them myself nowadays), but I never felt this sadness, this... uh.... I dunno if "grief" is the word I'm looking for, but it'll do. Anyway, this song never hit me the way it hits in this version, y'know? The original Last Resort was an anthem to me when some sh*t went south back in 2012 but it still wasn't a song that, uh, poked an open wound but instead it helped me to transform my pain into anger. Listening to the reimagined version made me remember in the most vividly way some of the darkest moments of my life but it also was patching up the same cuts it was making. I dunno if it makes any sense at all but I can't find a better way to describe it

[@sebamylexa4962]

I think Ronnie gives the text the right, worthy framework. The Papa Roach version is too rocky for the seriousness of the lyrics. That's exactly what Ronnie gets from this song, the pain and the struggle with and against evil thoughts. I keep hearing this song and it always gives me goosebumps. Surely only people who have psychological problems and fight against their demons on a daily basis can understand this. How often her world collapses and threatens to bury her. How many times do you think, "I can't go on like this" and fight your way out, only to find, over and over again, "Nothing's okay". But they still fight on every day. They resist to be buried under their collapsing world. The sad thing is that too many people lose this battle, ultimately running out of strength and being buried under their collapsing world.

[@rosumparat]

The original was the teenage angst, while Ronnie's is mature and more thoughtful .

Wow you get into the song 4 minutes later.. I skipped roll your jibber-jabber to get to the reaction

[@hellrider224]

It was good. I give it a 7.5 But it's much better the original! When you hear "Last Resort" it's gonna be hard to associate it with the FIR version just 'cause the original version riff is unmistakable which marked a generation and a genre, my opinion..
