First REACTION to DREAM STATE (White Lies) 🔥👌🤘

[@trshbrnr1]

Love this band! Excellent reaction as always. Thanks for adding to the list of bands I may never have found independently.

[@ChaseCarneson]

This makes me very happy. Really glad you enjoyed it.

[@hellixx256]

I watched them perform this live, they are incredible, and the vocalist really makes a point to connect with the crowd

[@bhg70]

Personally, I'm fine with you not delving into the lyrics too much. Lyrical interpretation can be way too subjective and personal. Musical analysis, on the other hand, can help someone like me who might not be into a certain style appreciate what the band brings to the table. Like this song, for example. Totally not my style, but hearing/seeing you break down the pieces of the song and how it's presented, I can appreciate it. A lot. Don't get me wrong: if you want to dive into the lyrics, go for it. I won't complain. Just saying don't feel obligated. Cheers. :-)

[@joshuatapp3447]

Agreed. Lyrical interpretation and appreciation is a completely separate thing from musical analysis, and musical analysis takes far more training. I'm here for the musical analysis.

[@surfdeprived]

Agreed, too. Lyrics can be interpreted and made personal. Musical analysis is foreign for most of us... and even for those that it's not, you can still bring something someone else missed.

[@aarinmiles990]

Completely agree you give such insight into the music production which is more a signature for your reactions and what makes them distinct from others. I'd hate to see you lose focus on the production breakdown to focus just on the lyrical content.

[@stevefromlondon4949]

This is what I’m really enjoying about your channel - you do the usual bands that every reaction channel seems to do (but you do them better) and then you introduce me to bands I haven’t heard before. I really liked this. Going to check out some more. Thanks!

[@ChaseCarneson]

Awesome. Really happy you liked it. Appreciate the kind words.

[@Estherr94]

As someone who knows absolutely nothing about music, I noticed the title of the song wasn't in the chorus but in the end and it made me feel so proud of myself when you mentioned it too! Thanks for another great reaction :)

[@ChaseCarneson]

Niiiice. See, we're all learning together. That's awesome.

[@christophoenix__6987]

I believe she mentions it around 5:19 of Chase's reaction as well. "Got be blinded by these white lies".....of course I know nothing about music as well so I could be, and probably am, wrong. Haha

[@paravarium]

Really pleasant surprise getting the extra video in 🤘 Spot on commentary, both on the song and that a simple song isn't bad at all as long as you voice your art into it, it's not just contrived. Love it as always

[@Deato9000]

Great to see you check out such a talented up and coming band! Dream State has such a bright future. They toured with Babymetal in 2018, I expect to see them on more and more larger tours. I'd also recommend you checking out their songs Primrose and New Waves.

[@autohmae]

Saw them open for Babymetal and they were great live performers. I feel like I'm not the target audience maybe, but did enjoy it live.

[@maximilianschultz8244]

Oh we're posting videos twice a day now, I see.

[@ChaseCarneson]

😂👌🤷‍♂️

[@danielleloose1072]

I love this group! They have so much talent!

[@northstar7694]

Thanks for those guys, i really enjoyed them. Another "new to me" band to explore, and that's why i'm here. Great reaction as always Chase. As for simple songs, i often find that they leave nowhere for the band to hide its flaws. At the same time, it's easy for the band to flex its strengths if it wants to.

[@ChaseCarneson]

Completely agree with this. Glad you liked them!

[@GaryHolloway-810]

Chase, am I glad you reacted to these Welsh wonders. They don't get the recognition they deserve,so could you please react to the MV of "Rebuild,Recreate". C.J.Gilpins vocals start like an angel & end like a screaming demon.Love it.

[@Paladin1034]

It's definitely my favorite song of theirs. I listen to it every day

Your taste continues to be great, sir! I'm a fan of this band, too, and as always love your analysis!

[@ChaseCarneson]

Glad you liked it.

[@miguelalarcon8694]

Me encanta Dream State...!!! Excelente reacción... Saludos desde La Paz Bolivia🤘🏻🖤🇧🇴

[@DG_2725]

I love it how you don’t just judge them because they may be “softer”. You sit back and really analyze the music and appreciate good writing and production. That’s gonna keep your subscribers interested.

[@ChaseCarneson]

All music is welcome here!!!

[@MsPeachWood]

Your face at 8:51 is GOLD, lol! Dude, this is the first video of yours I've ever seen and I have no idea who you are but when I saw this I was intrigued, and after seeing your initial reaction I had to keep watching because I was literally excited for you to get to that part hahaha! Then again at 9:51 ... there it was again, that expression! Tickled me to death, lol. I genuinely enjoyed watching you react to this song, your excitement reflected my own when I first heard it. To me it felt like we were having a moment :)

[@ChaseCarneson]

Certainly was a moment. They're an awesome band.

[@SandraNelson063]

They're YOUNG! They can only GET BETTER! Her voice will get more flexible as she goes on, through experience. I hope they keep going.

[@aenorist2431]

Theres plenty of examples to the contrary, many creative flames burn out hot, but lets hope they grow with experience.

[@rowinwan1]

Ooh you finally got around to Dream State! I'll be honest a pretty big part of why I love them so much is their emotional, hard hitting lyrics and CJ's vocals match them perfectly and really put the force behind that emotion. Completely understand it's hard to focus on everything though, still a great reaction, I always learn a lot about the musical aspect, even about bands I've been listening to for years, thanks a lot!

[@ChaseCarneson]

Really glad you enjoyed it. Yeah I'm making more of an effort to look into the lyrics but generally lean towards the music first

[@ginger_jack92]

Another Great Review Chase - I had not heard of the these guys before and loved It! So, thank you for the introduction!

[@ChaseCarneson]

Awesome. Glad you enjoyed

[@neilsontc]

Had never heard of these but I like, now following on Spotify 👍 great, informed reaction as always

[@neilsontc]

I just wanted to add that I was introduced to your channel after you checked Nightwish, who I've followed for about 20 years and the qualty of your reactions and the disection of the music has made me come back over and over again. I wondered if you have ever heard of a band called Fit For Rivals, the singer Renee Pheonix is quite remarkable in my view, would be good to see you check out their track 'Steady Damage'

[@ChaseCarneson]

Cool band name, no I haven't heard them. But I want to now. Will give them a look. Thanks for the support.

[@neilsontc]

@@ChaseCarneson know you like links, so here's the link to the official video kzbin.info/www/bejne/rqbWdGNnf7ibrLc

[@danielepanaro]

I find "Are you ready to live" and "Made up smile" their best pieces. The first song has some great meaning too. Great band.

[@keegankwirant6972]

Quick turnaround! Awesome react, as always.

[@immaculatemisconception8133]

Honestly you're reactions are unbelievable and so inspiring and insightful, Dream State is one of my favourite bands and so underrated, you would absolutely love their newest album Primrose! Thanks man for all the amazing reactions ❤️

[@davidwolfe6773]

This band has alot of potential in my opinion very underrated not alot of reaction channels do them yet more people need to react and check them out..

[@nellybod8742]

Goto respect a man who's rocking a Tele! First-time listener, but really liked this. Going to check some more Dream State

[@hiamp2k10]

I hadn't heard this band until this post and liked this one, but then found New Waves, the studio version. Mind-blowing song, would love to see you do that next.

[@hachikuji_mayoi]

I had gotten so used to the stable 1 per day that seeing this upload kinda confused me Edit: The second half of this song was pretty insane. Another new discovery thanks to this channel. You react to a lot of bands others don't.

[@ChaseCarneson]

I appreciate the support. Yeah figured we may mix it up for the next couple of days

[@damienmaynard8892]

Initial vocals reminded me of Maria Brink/In This Moment- song "Whore" - intonation and breath. Visually - Arya Stark!?...... 8:51 YES!!! Thank you! Great analysis again! I have another new band to follow!

[@ChaseCarneson]

Nice one Damien. Arya Stark 😂👌

LOVE DREAM STATE 😎

[@riskyanitha3050]

I know them cuz they toured with babymetal as openings in 2018 ...

[@androgmey]

I have an obsession with female fronted bands. Definitely love dream state, they remind me of Rivals a lot. You're making my heart very happy! 😁 Two of my favorites I've never seen anyone react to are Beneath the Silence and Icon for Hire. ;)

[@jopes4855]

I have no clue about the band, but oh boy i got flashback from NHL13/14 (the game, last ones i've played) But song is pretty darn good. Need to check more of their stuff. Straight to playlist. Thanks again!

[@chilly2go]

I always learn so much from your reactions. So appreciated! I would love to hear you react to Wintersun sometime. I could really use your analysis as to why something so complex musically works so well. I suggest starting with "Sons of Winter and Stars" live rehearsal at Sonic Pump Studio. Thank you for your channel. It is a great place to learn about music.

[@ChaseCarneson]

It's in the plan. Shouldn't be too long now.

[@chilly2go]

@@ChaseCarneson Fantastic!

[@ChrisPage68]

@Chase If you want another up-and-coming British rock band, I humbly submit *Marisa and The Moths*. "Choke", "Needy", "Skin" and "Slave" are all on their KZbin channel. One of their guitarists - Sophie Lloyd - also has her own channel. She's done some very good instrumental compositions.

[@boneless9305]

If you've never heard it the piano version of this song is so good

[@larsangeles7298]

dear chase, you are really one of the best! so entertainy and full with knowledge! can you please take a look at Within Temptation with Enter live at Pukkelpop 2002? liebe grüße aus Deutschland

[@Betonwolke]

I really like this band, which until now is unknown to me. I discovered several good songs from "Dream State". In particular: "Twenty letters". Thanks and greetings from Germany. Good job, and stick to "Band Maid". :) My suggestion: "Blooming" .

[@ConorJordan35]

“White lies” is in the lyrics right after the first chorus. But I do like how it’s not used in such a way that helps it stand out at the very end of the song

[@ChrisPage68]

They're from South Wales, but their record company is in Australia. Maybe they misheard the band and thought they said they were from NEW South Wales? 🤔🤣🤘

[@ChrisPage68]

Primrose, Twenty Letters and New Waves are also very good songs by them. I've found my new musical obsession. C.J. is equal parts Hayley Williams and Chester Bennington.

[@frostyj29]

Enjoying this run of female powerhouses you're on. Would highly recommend checking out what I believe is the debut release by Nemophila - 'Oiran' (KZbin version). A new all-female Japanese band that is something of an all-star group with members from other bands in the scene. The rehearsal setting is perfect. Won't say any more. Cheers!

[@feralconcepts1575]

Very much enjoy your breakdowns and reviews. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE check out Silent Planet - Trilogy. Would enjoy hearing your input on something like that.

[@snowdoll3778]

Lyrics though are what makes it hard for me to enjoy some of the musically technical and talented groups you react to. sometimes because they sing in another language so i have no idea but other times because I can't relate to what they are singing about or sometimes when I can relate to what they are singing about but feel like their musical talent is way way ahead of their writing ability. :D If I had to choose between Technically Sophisticated Music with Meh Message vs Not Quite So Technically Sophisticated Music with Interesting/Thoughtprovoking Message, I would pick the second one every time. and actually some of the most amazing music emotionally isn't even all that technical or sophisticated. Okay, there is my 2 cents, i will shush up now and just keep watching and learning. Also i realized today this is the only yt channel that i have watched literally every second of every video, even though most of the bands i dont really like too much. :D

[@snowdoll3778]

okay so i just got to the end of this video and you are saying some of these things too, so i almost deleted the above, but i will leave it anyway :)

[@ChaseCarneson]

Really glad you didn't delete it. O completely hear you. I think the more we attach to groups the easier it becomes to follow the lyrical themes.

[@hiawatha.g]

Women are getting their moment in rock (including metal). You've done a lot of women-led bands, and I'm all for it. Rock needed a jolt of female energy. Now if only more Americans would wake up to it...

[@ChaseCarneson]

The ladies are killing it!

[@ChrisPage68]

Spiritbox, Vintersea, Halestorm...all American.

[@hiawatha.g]

@@ChrisPage68 didn't say there were none. But for the size of the US market, it's few and far between. We've been taken over by corporate, overproduced, autotuned drivel, and hip-hop. The biggest pop stars are certainly female but they aren't doing rock!

[@ptbempire]

Amazing bandas always bud check out are you ready to live? And primrose

violent kind of energy there

[@surfdeprived]

When this band was first recommended by someone, I checked them out and there was definitely a Flyleaf vibe to the vocals and the music. Which is cool with me, especially since Flyleaf isn't doing it anymore anyway.

[@glenkelley6799]

Great reaction and thanks for this, had not heard this band before, love the vocals, need to check out more of them. I really like that a lot of bands are now fronted by female vocalist, I think that's a good trend in music as it adds something that has been lost in the past. You can't do a reaction, but for your listening pleasure, take a listen Eva Cassidy (sadly she pasted away about 6 months after this performance) - kzbin.info/www/bejne/aKPHaYmhqblrrrs

[@jessicar5748]

Her screams remind me of Maria Brink from In This Moment

[@OlettaLiano]

I was actually thinking the singer sounds like Lacey Sturm just before you said that. That's not a bad thing, as I rather like Lacey.

[@ChaseCarneson]

Yeah big fan so no issues there.

[@tihomirtomov]

I recommend you to hear Ankor - Lost Soul. They are not very known, but definitely worth checking.

Chase, kind of a side note, could you review some Nightwish with Annette as lead singer, I love Floor but Annette deserves some attention with Nightwish and her own current project as well

I absolutely plan on doing that. Got a few more to get through first but that's definitely on the agenda.
