3 Doors Down - Kryptonite (Official Video) | First Time Reaction

[@quintloehmann5135]

It's about getting old and knowing who you were in your youth. Elders were bad asses in their time.

The singer wrote the lyrics to the song when he was 15y old...mindblowing :D

[@markreeves2491]

This is one of my top 100 rock songs ! I'm 66 years old, so there's a large selection to choose from !

[@TheLvkrijger]

I would love to see your list sir, i can use some of those hidden rock jams.

You did well interpreting the song Inna. Here is what Brad Arnold the singer and songwriter said about it. 3 Doors Down lead singer/songwriter Brad Arnold says this song is a question. As it turns out, it was a rather prophetic one. "Its question is kind of a strange one. It's not just asking, 'If I fall down, will you be there for me?' Because it's easy to be there for someone when they're down. But it's not always easy to be there for somebody when they're doing good. And that's the question it's asking. It's like, 'If I go crazy, will you still call me Superman?' It's asking, 'If I'm down, will you still be there for me?' But at the same time, 'If I'm alive and well, will you be there holding my hand?' That's kind of asking, 'If I'm doing good, will you be there for me? Will you not be jealous of me?' And maybe throughout the years of singing that song, I might have come up with more meanings for it than it actually might have originally had," he laughs. The fact that he wrote this song when he was only 15 doesn't seem remarkable to Brad, because, he says, "every 15-year-old has those questions in their head. They might not know quite how to say it, or they might not feel like it's acceptable to say something. And the biggest thing that I've had as an honor to be able to do is to be able to say something, and after I say it, it's okay. After an artist says it, if a rock star says it, okay, it's fine. That really boils down to why rock and roll inspires pop culture so much, or just music in general, not just rock and roll. Because artists push the envelope, and they go out on a limb to say something else. But it also comes with responsibility; you gotta watch what you say, because kids listen. And I try to watch what I say, too."

[@ibrstellar1080]

My favourite Three doors down song and one of the best songs from that era.

[@MoMoMyPup10]

Easily. But that video is hideous for first time hearing. Way too distracting -- the song deserves better

[@scottturner2622]

This band is like your R's... rocking and rollin... great reaction, keep them comin!

[@kenlawless7247]

Love this song and this band. They were pretty big at one point but never felt the need to dress or act like rock stars.

[@passionsquietrage]

For more from these guys, I recommend "Not My Time", "Let Me Go", "Runaway", "Let Me Be Myself", and "Citizen/Soldier".

[@DrewG-wd8ql]

"It's Not My Time" is another great rocker of theirs and worth the listen.

[@silverlobo2135]

Greetings Inna First of all, 'Kryptonite' is a direct reference to the comic book of "Superman". In the comic. [Green] kryptonite is a green quartz type crystal that takes Superman's powers away. It debilitates and can possibly 'kill' Superman of it is big enough and the exposure is long enough. This is why, in the video, there is a large green crystal being carried on a serving tray. Metaphorically (figuratively / allegorically), 'kryptonite' means anything the take / can take away your strength, positivity, happiness, good mood, health, or general well-being / mental state. This is how it is mainly being used in the song, with mild reference to "superhero powers". The person being sung about is the 'kryptonite' of the persona doing the singing / relating the story.

[@spikejr3113jr]

This song is my go to karaoke song.

[@naverich4603]

You're my spirit animal :D

[@ettcha]

Lol, I had these guys on repeat too but I'd never even seen any of their videos until this! I didn't even know what they look like, I just recorded this off of VOA Radio and eventually got a cd😂! I guess 1) internet just wasn't a thing around here back then and 2) the epic videos in my imagination had always been good enough!

[@Marcus-p5i5s]

One of the few post 70's rock songs that could have come from that era.

[@danrumble74]

I believe this was their first song & it was popular. These were good times. Some of the last good times, before everyone had a cellphone at all times :/

[@nathanfisher1826]

Great band

[@paulmcclaren1202]

If you like this you should also check out Matchbox 20/20 with Rob Thomas. Similar sound. Rob Thomas is also good on his own, and of course in Smooth with Santana.

[@vals_loeder]

I have loved the song from the moment it was released but only now I realize I have never seen the video. I think you're spot on regarding the lyrics. At least that is also how I have always interpreted them.

[@kaceylinne344]

keep up the amazing work. other 3 doors down songs to checkout are - loser, citizen/soldier, its not my time, let me be myself

[@blizzardofodds4220]

3 Doors down is a great band and kind of underrated and not brought up that much. I think another ballad by this band that I think you would enjoy is called "landing in London" Your correct with the interpretation of the lyrics. His weakness is the partner no matter what they do he still wants to be with them (his Kryptonite). Which would be superman's only weakness. I have seen this band live a couple of times and they sound just like the CD, loud and super clear. Excellent concerts.

[@samusahlsten5948]

Congrats of the 60k.

Hello there hey there hey

[@helbertromero3325]

La kryptonite de todos la vejez y soledad y por más fuerte que te sientas ahora que eres joven es muy probable que vivas las dos

[@rbodee]

Superman was from the planet Krypton that exploded and if Superman was in close proximity to Kryptonite, he would get weak. So the song is about a guy wanting to be a girls Superman and she is his Kryptonite. JMHO

[@Lrs12359]

Pigeon racing is very much a thing

[@DJ8017]

I think this is the man's version of Lana Del Ray's "Young and beautiful".

[@victorramsey5575]

The line "...if Im alive and well will you be there holding my hand..." always kind of gets to me a little. We tend to abandoned old people if they are healthy. We want to help the sick ones and be there for them, but we punish the healthy ones by not being there. Do me a favor: hug your parents and grandparents today. One day they will leave this earth and you'll wish you did.

[@Rystefn]

Not just old people. It's easy to forget sometimes that just because someone is doing well, that doesn't mean they don't still need someone. If anything, that's even more true when you're young.

[@JWCFB]

I notice when I watch reactions that young people try to turn music videos into something so serious. That’s not how it was, It was fun.

[@غريبالبشرغريب]

Hello internet

Well the song won't get blocked.

This was one the more popular songs in the AMVs we used to download off KaZaA way back in the day before KZbin. I had hundreds of them, but the hard drive they were on crashed and I lost them all kzbin.info/www/bejne/h3yXm5awZtyZY8U

[@CjgGlass]

My husband cheated on me. Was an alcoholic. Divorced. He drank till he fell off a porch. Broke his neck, completely paralyzed. I took him and cared for him 6 years. Known for large hands was tracing his hands when he died. True story

[@MoMoMyPup10]

The video is atrocious for first time hearing reactions. How are you supposed to focus on the music with all that imagery going through one's brain. Yet it keeps getting picked by reactors, and it always ruins the song for them.
