I couldn't stop crying. Vocal ANALYSIS with isolated vocals of Lorna Shore's "Pain Remains" Trilogy

[@Ljos_Midir]

@@Slinky511nx7 I THOUGHT THE SAME THING

[@Joshschroedermusic]

Elizabeth! As the band's producer, thank you for the wonderful in-depth analysis of the vocals and music. These guys really put everything they had into this record, and especially these 3 songs. Production, mixing, and mastering to me isn't purely a utilitarian process, but a creative one too. It should always serve the song, emotions, and the people expressing themselves, and not distract from it. It's easy to get carried away, because sometimes, getting carried away is exactly what the part needs. Let me share a little bit of my process for the Pain trilogy: Part I: for the intro, I took Adam's scratch keyboard writing session lead and built an intro around it. The obvious thing to do would be to build a bombastic orchestration, but I just loved how sad and small it sounded on that keyboard. It just perfectly captured what he was going through at the time. Not a big, triumphant moment, but a sad, lonely one in studio B, with a giant "LEAVE ME THE FUCK ALONE" sign on the door, trying to write his way out of severe depression. It was this exact keyboard performance that sold me on using this melody and building the trilogy around it. Part II: the intro from part I is then developed into the chorus here, and it being the theme of the trilogy, it was a no-brainer to have Will scream along with it, step for step, to really reinforce it as the main theme. The key change on the last chorus comes from their hometown hero - Bon Jovi. I just love it when bands take influence from atypical places. That mixture and cross-pollination is what's beautiful about new music. Part III: with the transition from part II to part III, I wanted to bring the piece down to a dark place, then build it back up into this epic, malicious, foreboding climax, where as you so eloquently put it, "deathcore becomes the ascension of that emotional tension". The intro needs to set the scene for the final chapter, so my idea for the string arrangement was to have this cyclical, ascending and descending motion to it, which reflects all the highs and lows you've experienced, but also foreshadows an ominous conclusion. By the time you hit the big band outro of this song, you either realize this big moment is from the intro of part I and the chorus of part II... or you don't, but either way, you can feel the familiarity of the melody reach its peak form after the dramatic pause to cause the listener to lean in and anticipate this moment. Will uses all 3 chorus lines here, to create a new one, and to tie the entire trilogy together. A great example of his brilliant writing style and attention to detail. Outro: I wanted to close out the trilogy, by bringing back Adam's original synth sound from the intro to drive home that you've returned to where you began, but now with delicate quartet strings and a soft choir setting up that return, to make it feel like you've crossed over through this journey. I really love how this is the only time you hear the melody truly resolve, which fades into the fire sounds. I love how you can appreciate all the beauty here, but also the filthy breakdowns, haha. It's really that extreme dichotomy that makes the band truly great. But yeah, I'm just super happy that you and your channel exists and points out all of the time and effort we, and other artists and producers and mixing engineers, all put into these productions. Music appreciation makes the world a better place, and you're at the forefront of this on youtube. It's incredibly validating as a producer to hear you passionately dissecting the music, performances, and production. I absolutely love the lack of edits and cuts, by the way. Keep doing exactly what you do

[@Stroopwafels112]

Josh, great work. I'm not typically into deathcore but LS is just something else, and the production is an underrated part of that.

[@amcc8188]

I agree.... If I could get a version without the vocals I think I'd love it. The odd thing is, I'm not opposed to when a vocalist screams to emphasize something especially in the apex of a song.... but I'd like to actually be able to understand the words without looking them up before hand - Would also like literally any clean vocals mixed in. Disturbed and Killswitch I think have good juxtapositions of harsh and clean vocals, but when a band just leans so hard into the harsh vocals they lose any emotional emphasis (to me) because it's not compared to anything else. Is this impressive - yes. Is the musical part gorgeous - absolutely Would I prefer a version with clean (or no) vocals - 100% - I could only make out about 15 words so it might as well have been in a different language to me.

[@darkjoa3]

​​@@amcc8188 to me, the harsh vocals truly symbolize the emotions conveyed better than clean vocals could. i think clean vocals could just as well convey the sadness and mourning... But The harsh vocal really bring the anger, the desperation and the helplessness. The inability to collect yourself to the front. Harsh vocals... And espescially will's really convey those feelings to me in this trilogy But then again... I am absolutely NOT a vocal expert. I could not sing a toneladder to save a life. I'm not a big fan of the deathcore genre in general, but i've grown into a huge lorna shore fan, partly because of those absolutely stunning vocals. Anyway... tastes can differ and your opinion on it yours, and equally valid. I just wanted to drop my 2 cents :)

I've always heard heavy genres as pretty much just noise, and kind of still do (even though I know a lot more is behind it)... but then I heard Lorna Shore's stuff and I was instantly a huge fan of the genre. Hopefully I can find other bands in the genre that have a similar impact on me. I just don't know if they have the same abilities and qualities... which includes the whole band and the amazing production. Like these 3 songs with the music videos for example, is probably the best way to introduce someone to deathcore (wasn't my introduction to the band, but still). Music videos can really help to properly connect with the sounds, even if one doesn't know what is being said, the emotions are very clear. Also the video where they put a camera down his throat would be a really good initial introduction before hearing the trilogy, to gain some more of that curiosity and appreciation for the talent and skills.

@@youngtundra478 - Awesome, I'll check those out. I think the production is the biggest part for sure. Lorna Shore's whole band and production is really good, and they really know how to emphasise and showcase Will's amazing vocals in the best light, and then are able to fit it to really emotional story telling, which is crazy (not that I need the story telling, but it's cool). If you put Will in an average to good band with production that is average to good, then I would have likely not given a shit about listening to more of his voice, which would have sucked, but it is what it is. Or even if he was in an amazing band with amazing production, that doesn't mean they are going to be something that I enjoy listening to. I think a big part is how well they can work WITH Will's voice to elevate it, and also their ability to replicate and communicate human emotion so well. Also how they have a lot of interesting stuff going on, including with just the vocals, they're not afraid to have pauses and slow it down and use contrast to their benefit. A lot of bands will just blast a lot of sounds at the same time non-stop, and that's very fatiguing and boring for me. Like the more chaotic the better, but unrelentingly so. I think a lot of those bands have missed how deathcore can be beautiful and very emotional, and Lorna Shore certainly understands and demonstrated that. What other genre can really communicate maximum anger, genuine rage, suffering, to the extent that deathcore ideally can. There's so much more here than just the typical headbanging stuff (not that there shouldn't also be that, but it doesn't usually seem to be done very well in my view). I typed way too much! Can organising my thoughts. Maybe my view will change a bit as I listen to more stuff.

I can't help but be touched by your raw emotional reaction to this. I suffer from a mood disorder and am thankfully medicated and stable, but I've struggled with s*icidal ideation and depression at several points in my life. I've seen the darkest of the dark and came out the other side. I see it in your eyes, I can tell where you've been and why this hits you so hard. Yes, it is possible to cry to a deathcore song (epic masterpiece). Any sort of art that carries meaning can spark our emotions, especially if the sentiment speaks to us. Your relationship with "extreme" music and harsh vocals opened a door for you to experience this range of emotion. I don't know you personally, but I am proud of you. And to everyone else who's struggled with s*icidal ideation and came out the other side: I see you, and I'm proud of you.

[@wjhrazorsedge76]

I haven't seen or spoken to my one brother for about 12 or 13 yrs. Mental health is still highly looked down upon in our society. I have never learned his official disorder, but when he would medicate for it, he was a very intelligent smart person. Meth & other stuff may have diluted his ability to stay on meds that normalized him. I'm not saying everyone needs to normalize, but when you cannot see the benefits of a loving family via a normalizing drug to allow that, it's very sad for all. I'm by no way saying prescription drugs can solve everything, but I can say not everyone is the same & it sucks losing a brother via mental illness for the last 14 years or so. My Mom has spoken to him sporadically, but it is always very depressing for her, so I never bring it up. Mental illness is real & affects everyone in a family.

This one hit me extra hard especially now. Just a few days ago my husband was hospitalized with both heart and kidney failure. The thought of losing him became so very real that I felt very lost and horrified to face my life without him. He is out of hospital at the moment, but there's so much that is still lingering. The threat is still there. Hug your loved-ones today. You really just never know when you'll lose them.

Music (and crying to it) literally saved me in 2016 when my wife passed. The first two parts of Pain Remains are terrifyingly relatable to me as I have been through it all (minus the actual suicide in part 2). I was wrecked and taken back to those dark times after each of the first two parts. Wondering and at the same time fearing where the journey will go in part 3. Bracing for impact.

[@Matjo7588dk]

They glide so well together while being very different. The first one ending on. " Am I just a ghost just like you, caught between the Seams of two intertwining melodies? " Leading into the second song, where hope is gone, and he might be alive, but living like a ghost, the second song is the time between melodies. So the ending of the first song leads to the expressions of the second. And then to the 3 where it about getting past the empty space between melodies. Where he is no longer a ghost just acting, but the emotions he is feeling is acting through him. Pain, anger, everything. The attempt in the second part was the uncontrolled action, the lack of everything. While the choice in the 3 was made with and understanding what he felt his life had become. Ending the trilogy with the words " Dancing like flames, after all that I've done I'll salt the earth and disappear in a sea of fire " Dancing like Flames being part 1 All that I've done being part 2 In a Sea of fire being part 3 And the 3 also bind the first part into it again, after the half part of the song, with the sort of breakdown, the melody and flow goes through some of the same waves we heard in the first song- ending with the bells and string actually playing through the same notes, but it start before that leading up to it. So both the story and the music is brought back together at the end. Same way life starts and end the same place, in all forms. no matter the start or the end. You never know where you start. And when you are at the end, it does not really matter. It was the choices and feelings between the melodies you experiences along the way that guided you to what ever end you had. The two things in life that does not matter to you, is the start, and the ending. because you are not there to deal with them or experience them. Yet it is those two things that mean the most when all is said and done. Because what ever you did with your life, those you loved, and those you hurt is all because your life started. And your actions in between the melodies is what you will be remembered for.

How you doing ?

[@AdamGaffney96]

Honestly I felt the emotions throughout Pt. 1, 2 and 3 when listening, but watching you cry at the parts that almost got me made me cry. I think that Deathcore has always had the potential to have this sort of ballad structure where they essentially analyse what it's like to grieve, and never quite reaching acceptance. For me this song is the 5 stages of grief except you never reach 5, you're stuck at 3 or 4 (anger or depression). Just the feeling where the something tragic has happened and the world has left you behind and continued on but you can't accept it yet. This is truly an absolute masterpiece and I can't stop listening to it. I'm very lucky to have never experienced what the video talks about, but we all have that pain that can sometimes stick and can empathise with this.

[@ExileOfGods]

That’s how I felt aswellwith this. The different elements they show in both music production and physical makes this an absolute perfect representation of real human emotion. I’m blown away by their ability to tell a story with music. I only found Lorna Shore because of Elizabeth. Never listen to deathcore either and somehow…I fell in love with Lorna Shore. I saw an interview with Will Ramos and about what to expect with Pain Remains and he said “I just want to tell a story. I didn’t read a lot of books growing up and still don’t but I love to write stories.” Well it’s quite obvious he wrote a story. Absolutely beautiful band and music ❤️

I've went through a lot, and didn't realize how numb I was getting inside by bottling things up and pushing thru for years. That approach isn't sustainable, but once you go numb you just kind of coast in auto pilot and slowly start to want to leave rather than feel this dead inside anymore. I wasn't extremely far along on that journey, but still further than reasonable, and I wasn't in a good place in spirit. This beautiful song about loss and suicide is well done and very moving, as is your thoughtful analysis. However, your genuine sharing that you've been in a dark place, and most importantly your several direct pleas to the viewer to get help if they are somewhere that's losing hope, really touched a part of my soul that got bottled up along the way with my pain and suffering. When I saw an internet stranger that's a KZbinr visibly freeze and feel trapped several times at a portrayal of suicide done by another stranger that's an actor, it really, really got to me. I realized how much my loved ones would truly miss me, and how big of a waste that loss would be to even the least of my acquaintances. I ugly cried for the last half of your video, all while continuing to watch and really leaned into letting it all out and feeling again. I'm not saying you saved a life today, because that might be a bit over-the-top and missing the mark. What I will say is that you were a BIG part of an experience that helped open me up BEFORE it got into those "almost too late / too late" stages for me. From the bottom of my slowly feeling heart...Thank you. :')

[@wretchedSymphonyBR]

I know how what you mean, man. Growing up, I had some family problems that really destroyed me mentally in an age where I didn't know how to process all of these new, negative feelings. So the coping mechanism I learned at the time was to shut these emotions down and escape from reality. And in a way, it worked, I wasn't feeling the pain anymore, but that also made me unable to really emphasize with other people, which made it really hard to interact with other people and build meaningful connections, all of it in puberty as well where things where so chaotic. During those days I had a feel friends, but still aways felt kinda left out, since I felt we didn't connect as deeply as they did to each other. It was only much later in life that I looked back and noticed that the problem at the time was with no one but myself and my inability to express myself in order to create a real connection. Anyways, a feel years after that I was finally able to meet some other friends who were able to make me see these flaws and try and deal with these issues that I kept buried within, so now I can proudly say I'm becoming half a functioning human beign. So as a person, I can honestly say that I'm very happy for the self discovery you made with this video, and I also hope you were able to get more in touch with your feelings, nothing makes me happier nowadays than shedding a few tears after experiencing a work of art such as this trilogy

What's so cool about these songs is that you can feel the emotions of the band. From the drums, to the guitar, to Will's singing, you feel what they are feeling. I watched an interview with the lead guitarist where he talks about mental health and stuff that was going on in his life while writing this and it translates through his playing. Also, it's been talked about how the end of the first song is meant to portray the suddenness and absoluteness of death. (Of course it is also utilitarian because it leads into the next song on the album, but it is SO abrupt on purpose.)

[@TheFlagnard2]

As someone who's former depression exhibited itself in the form of anger, the third song hits hard. It reminds me of who I used to be and the mental state I once was in. Catharsis is definitely part of it. The third song captured the visceral fury of my depression so well I couldn't help but weep. Partially from joy of having lived through it and come out a better person, but also out of fear for remembering it, and the relief that worse things didn't come from it.

I used to be a pianist before stuff happened. Later, for a couple of years, fronted for a garage rock band. Then I kind of buried my inner musician. When I found Lorna Shore's trilogy, it kicked in heavily and made me wonder - like a strong itch on my mind - how would it sound with my non-deathcore skillset? And also made me feel a weird mix of regret, anger and satisfaction. Yesterday, I tried to pick up the different rhythms and melodies and approximate them on piano. I was only half successful, but I immensely enjoyed the process. I'll continue. It's already turning out to be the best thing I could do against any kind of trauma. I already promised elsewhere, that if I make it work, I'll post the cover online. Now, I can safely say it's not an "if" but a "when". Huge thanks to Lorna Shore and everyone involved in the making of Pain Remains. I needed something brutal but complex and you guys delivered in all the wall-of-sound glory!

We have come a long way to call something a death core love song, haven't we? 😅 When we lost our mom to cancer in 2009 I wish there'd been a Will R or a Lorna S to scream out all the pain, confusion, sadness and despare. I wish it would be allowed to play this trilogy at a funeral. This just portrays all the feelings you don't want to feel, but you do. Thanks, Lorna Shore and Elizabeth.

never would i ever think id enjoy watching reviews of music as much as i do watching your videos. normally it drives me up the wall when people repeatedly pause music but your reactions (especially excitement and giddiness) make it so enjoyable. theres so much more to metal (and music in general) that people dont see or hear and your take on it is amazingly fun. thank you.

[@kwilson2123]

This is the best album I have ever listened to in my life. The impact Lorna shores music has had on my life since Will joined is unreal.

Same 😌

I have been listening to extreme metal since 1992 and I think this is the first song in the genre that ever made me cry before. The "Short Film" that goes along with the song is pitch perfect, I believe it does a very good job relaying both the sights and sounds of grief and loss simultaneously . I have heard Lorna Shore on XM40 Liquid metal and thought they were a good band. I didn't notice how large the "Extreme Vocal Range" of will is, Holy Crap!!! I want to thank you so much for doing this song. as well as your raw reaction, You show how you are feeling the song like some of us are. I really enjoy your channel. Very happy for you that you hit 1 Million Subs. Cheers!!!

What I love most about this channel is that your community exposes you to all kinds of new music, and in turn you expose me to the same amazing stuff. Thank you Elizabeth and Community!

I haven't cried from a song like this in almost 10 years. I feel the pain this song conveys on an extremely personal level. I have nothing to say to Lorna Shore except thank you. This reminds me of a pain that I was in that I was lucky to have survived.

[@JStephens_73]

I usually watch the original video first without interruption and then watch again with the reaction but for this one, and Elizabeth, I am making an exception and watching this all the way through.

[@caprise-music6722]

Good idea. Cuz there was like 20 minutes of stoppage before it even kicks in

[@lauramalloy4036]

Crying on another level ❤ This is A masterpiece, and I'm 48 , a metal fan and have just been introduced to Lorna Shore by my 21 year old son, and i feel so much emotion, they have aligned my vibes ❤️ Thank you!!

[@danielhollis5600]

I've delt with major and often dangerous mental health issues throughout my life, for me the visuals, music, and lyrics guided me through my past issues. I love the album, and really appreciate and enjoy your analysis of music and vocals. Especially lorna shore. Stay beautiful.

[@awiratama2606]

Once again, Lorna Shore shows us another dimension of how a deathcore song can be. Truly Masterpiece 👏🏽👏🏽

[@chrisswink]

This trilogy is a masterpiece. Whoever wrote this has experienced a great loss. It's heart wrenching to watch.

[@michaelmcdonald193]

It's not just the idea, it's not just the composition, it's not just the lyrics, it's not just the development, it's not just the execution, it's not just the video to tell the story. it's, EVERYTHING together, all at once. Superb.

[@A7XEBN]

I must say that I have watched this reaction back to back 10 times and each time I agree with what you say. I've never thought I'd be emotional with a "deathcore" song, but here we are. You're so honest with your feelings that you allow me to let go some tears that I have been keeping hidden for so much time. Thank you for letting me feel free of expressing my feelings and heavy emotions. I'm sorry for my poor English, greeting from Chile :)

[@EntheogenShaman]

Just so you know, your English is fine 👌

[@caseyalexander1705]

The mouthed “I love you”…. is so important, as it gives the emotion everyone can feel.

[@bdarne0024]

With these 3 songs I feel like lorna shore has created a new peak for the genre. This is one of those moments in heavy music that I think will change the path it is going down forever. The overall arrangement makes this so impactful.

[@MetalMinion3]

Have loved seeing your progression from "OMG, what kind of sound was that?!" To: "Loved that growl slide....lets deconstruct that with science." And this triple video analysis was a perfect choice for this 3 part master piece.

[@ashy107]

Your talent isn’t just analysing the music, but having the ability to feel a wide variety of music at a depth I’ve never seen before. So awesome!!
