Tati is an introvert in real life, so she's talking about herself in Wallflower, and the anxiety she gets writing the lyrics for Jinjer's music. I love her poetry.

[@VocalCitizen]

I love it too. So unorthodox, her writing style. It's addictive.

[@jamhousestudio362]

Bands like this could only exist in metal music without boundaries! Such a fan of this band!! 😆🤘

[@VocalCitizen]

Moi aussi...

[@nathaniellopez6438]

Their music is an adventure, and it's heart felt when heard. That's the beauty of their music. You can feel the music. Really feel the passion!

[@VocalCitizen]

I always feel it from the inside out. Shivers me timbers...

[@ZachComa]

Wallflower is a song about herself, Tati calls the song the introvert's anthem. Alternatively, the song Call Me a Symbol is kind of the opposite, she sings about being someone who's nothing like her for a day. Tati said, "The song has a dual meaning: On the one hand, it’s a song of a woman that is adored by many people no matter what she does-even if it’s a pile of shit. So, she is very confident and even maybe bloodthirsty or evil. Some of these divas are pretty evil, like a queen or goddess. On the other hand, that’s something I’ve really wanted to be. But I think I never will be like this because I’m not that egocentric. My nature is pretty shy, but I would like to be like this woman for at least one day."

[@VocalCitizen]

My Call Me a Symbol reaction is in the Jinjer Reactions playlist... I love Tati's mind and the way it plays with both reality and the dream realm. She's one of a kind, to be sure.

[@tgkn8376]

I hope you feel 100% soon, and please take care of yourself. The videos can wait, your health cannot.

[@VocalCitizen]

I'm on the mend. I appreciate your concern. But I'm pretty resilient. 🥰

[@Phix75]

What a band ! This version of Wallflower is simply stunning my favourite live version that i've heard. I'm loving your reactions on Jinjer , I stumbled across them when covid hit and they blew my mind in a way I honestly didn't think was possible from music anymore at the age of 45, it was like being that 14 year old kid discovering prime time Metallica in 89 all over again..lol Jinjer without doubt have and are making some of the most exciting music my ears have heard in the last 20+ years, they tick so many boxes and opened my mind to new ones as well. 🤘🎶

[@VocalCitizen]

What a band, indeed. Jinjer is extraordinary... their history, their story, their beautiful chemistry... This documentary floored me, to say the least.

[@module79l28]

If you want to see a raw version of how they are when they're together, you should check their 2016 tour vlogs. Short videos mostly of pre and post concerts' antics and behind the scenes clips of their daily life on tour. There's no better way of getting to know them. You can find the videos on their YT channel. 🙂

[@VocalCitizen]

Hell yeah. Thanks. I'll check them out for sure.

[@artiemeyer8803]

You should react to the official Wallflower video. It is phenomenally made with many references to her struggling to get lyrics written while the band hounded her.

[@VocalCitizen]

I absolutely will. I plan to react to all of their OMVs.

[@meidasmightyJESSICAT]

❤ Awesome 😎

[@VocalCitizen]

thanks for always being with me, sis... you're the best.

[@s3any1977]

Great little documentary.

[@VocalCitizen]

Glad you enjoyed the vid. Thanks for watching.

[@MRxMADHATTER]

Love it. Yeah Tatiana writes the lyrics on the fly....at the loast minute. Just.....WOW. The "Bus Invaders" video interview is very entertaining.

[@VocalCitizen]

YAY 😀

[@ericwilson5453]

Born end of 75.. we had the widest range of music, happy to sad to angry and thought provoking. Im amazed my kids (born around 2000) have a wide range in musical taste, likely due to their parents😅 but current generations are ready to pounce on a differing opinion. No imagination or empathy at all. This band, though, is a force of nature. Loved them since the first listen, and nore so since seeing them in Nashville last year.

[@VocalCitizen]

I can't wait until they come back on U.S. soil. I'll be there...

[@jamessewell5636]

I'm so happt tyou watched this and did it live! Sorry I've not commented recently, I've been in the hospital for a couple of weeks and have really missed your Jinjer reactions. This is such a great little mini documentary of my favorite band! I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!

[@VocalCitizen]

I hope you're doing better.... ?? I really enjoyed this. I DIG DOCUMENTARIES. MUCH more Jinjer coming across the weekend.

[@spinelliXYZee]

thanx so much for your profound view of Jinjer! art is what you feel and try to transform into sounds... that's the reason why we didn't get a record deal in Berlin over 30 years ago, cause we weren't prepared to let our music have its soul stolen; "spinelli XYZee" if you are interested... lovely greetings from germany, Thomas

Lots more interviews to check out to get to know them better. Tati and Eugene are usually most talkative as I think their English is probably the best of them...though Tati has to ask Eugene what a word is occasionally. We'll send you some links to check out at your leisure.

[@VocalCitizen]

you're always on top of it... I thank you and would definitely welcome any links... just text 'em to me, doll.

[@JonNo86]

Their songs Ape and The Prophecy both have themes about us as humans being blood thirsty parasitic creatures and Tati has said in multiple interviews that if it wasn't such a taboo to eat humans she would...so when she talks about going off to the woods and eating tourists, she wasn't necessarily joking! 😅🤣

[@VocalCitizen]

This made me laugh and laugh and laugh... Why did I laugh?

[@jamestalkington6306]

Btw, tati is KILLING it on that performance of wallflower. And the song is the introvert's anthem. The OMV is worth a watch of course.

[@VocalCitizen]

I'll definitely be doing their OMVs... No worries.

[@dimasaviles7525]

you really should check out the Prologue and Beggars Dance from King of Everything back to back to hear their versatility as well as Retrospection. She makes me a little bit better understood as an introvert.

[@VocalCitizen]

I will check them out... I've heard King of Everything is a dope album... Thanks!

[@palladinodessa8988]

Jinjer is something special and the fortunate thing of their journey is the bond they created through their struggles and their music. They have quite literally poured their all into this and accept the consequences of this choice. People listen to Jinjer and recognize the talent but the path they traveled to get to this point is not so commonly known. You have a very astute sense - say what the f*ck you want, many of us identify with that. Plus, I have 2 years on you 🤪 rookie 🤣

[@VocalCitizen]

I learned so much from this documentary. Just makes me love Jinjer that much more. One of my mottos in life is this: Always remember, if you're bouncy through life, despite the hardships, you'll have a much easier time. Thanks for calling me a rookie 🙃 I dig it.

[@nickmoutos8308]

You aren't old! Not to me anyway, I'm OLD! I'm so glad the "cancel culture" isn't smart enough to listen to metal or else bands like Jinjer would be cancelled and that would deprive us all of a phenomenal experience.

[@VocalCitizen]

You are not wrong... and I'm getting old. But - unlike most people who dread it, I embrace it because it means I'm not dead yet. 🙃

[@rofyle]

I'm a little older than you. Not everything in the 80s was happiness and joy. There were tons of musicians, some of them even popular ones, who were covering dark topics. Suzanne Vega's "Luka", Phil Collins' "Another Day In Paradise", U2's entire "War" album (not to mention half their catalogue up until Zooropa), Metallica's Ride, Justice and Master albums, Megadeth's entire catalogue, Pat Benetar's "Hell is For Children", Nine Inch Nails' "Pretty Hate Machine" album, just to name a few.

[@VocalCitizen]

I realize that. I was there... but the overall mood of 80s music was light and happy. I've been a MetallicA fan for decades. There were certainly many rebel-style bands, but the general mood was upbeat. NIN, U2, Billy Idol... all pushing the boundaries... but I believe I made my point with regard to the "cancel culture" not rearing its ugly head during that time.

[@Robertsmith-dy3sh]

Having had the opportunity to meet the band on several occasions, I can say, they are very humble, kind and funny, great people who deserve all the attention they are finally getting!

[@VocalCitizen]

I'm glad I'm finally aboard the Good Ship Jinjer. Perhaps I'll meet them one day.

[@module79l28]

Their original bio, from 2009 to 2016 (that was on their first web page, which no longer exists), is enough to write half of their biography. And I managed to save a copy before they shut it down. 😉

[@VocalCitizen]

I would deeply enjoy writing their biography. I believe they're in my veins now... I could do them justice. If you want to share it, hit me on IG chat...

[@module79l28]

@@VocalCitizen - I don't have IG, all I can do is copy and paste it here but it has to be in several comments because the text is too long and YT doesn't allow it in a single comment. Let me know if it's ok this way.

That's fine. I don't mind the work.

[@oldmanjimh3165]

Ha! You're young. I'm two decades older.

[@VocalCitizen]

I'm thrilled about getting older. Unlike SO MANY PEOPLE who dread it, old age just means you've been wise enough to survive. I'll take it, given how many times I've danced with Death already.

[@chrisflaim8257]

If you would like to see Tatiana features she did her first ever was with their album producer, Morton - Through the Never I Will Return, Morton - Horror of Daniel Wagner & with romas old band Falstep - One step. Then with Twelve Foot Ninja - Over and Out, Decapitated - Hello Death, Lions At The Gate - Find My Way, Metal: Hellsinger - Burial at Night it was for a video game. Quarantine colab with Suicide Silence Man in The Box and Territorial Pissings covers. Last one was P.O.D. - Afraid To Die.

[@jamestalkington6306]

Also, spinal stenosis? I don't know all the medical jargon, but as an infant, I had pyloric stenosis, which was the opening between stomach and small intestine being too thick, and leading to blockage, which was a simple surgery in that case. Obviously not so much for something similarly wrong with the spine I would assume. In any case, gotta love a good attitude through things like that, but at the same time it's like, what does it serve to let it keep oneself down. After all, we're permanent souls with a temporary body.

[@VocalCitizen]

I hope you enjoyed it...

[@VocalCitizen]

I hope you enjoyed it...

[@VocalCitizen]

I tell people all the time: You are not your body. The person you are is all in your brain. The body's just the car. Some people get faulty cars. I have what's called severe spinal stenosis and degenerative disc disease. Basically, my spine is compressing itself and crumbling. There's no way to stop it. I will one day be bedridden again. I've had neck surgeries and now have a spinal cord stimulator, which enables me to walk. I also have chronic supra-ventricular tachycardia (bad electrical in my heart), primary sclerosing cholangitis (a degenerative liver condition, like an alcoholic's liver, but I don't drink), and lost my large intestine in 2016, due to advanced ulcerative colitis. I have an ileostomy now, and I LOVE him. I named him Stannis Baratheon from GOT. That being said, I've always been an optimist. I've found having an upbeat attitude just makes my experience better. When ya feel down, you feel worse. I'm sorry for your medical trauma. I feel you...

[@jamestalkington6306]

Seeing what this is now....this is why when i DO make a paid request, i try to pick one thats not in the natural current path of the channel possibly. Lol.

Good work- commentary on the band's commentary is tricky, you balanced it well. yeah , cancel me, or I'll cancel myself - who wants to be in a herd that thinks they can cancel things that don't fit their narrow view. (shrug) Anyway, thanks for keeping on keeping on.

[@coder4liberty]

The intro and outro songs she is talking about are Beggars Dance and Prologue. You wouldn't think a metal band did them when you hear them. In fact Beggars Dance sounds so much like Gwen Stephani it's practically Tatiana's impression of her. They are on KZbin. They are just videos with the album art and the audio. Each is about 2 and a half minutes long. Someone already mentioned it but Wallflower is both about Tatiana being an introvert and the band pressuring her to get her lyrics done for the Wallflowers album. The music video depicts that in an interesting way. A good example of the issue with art and discourse would be reactions you can find on KZbin of the movie Airplane. Universally young kids from today say "you could never make that movie today" but they still laugh at the jokes. They just know they could never make those jokes on social media or in a show now. Tati is an amazing singer and performer but her unsung skill is taking all the wild changes and time signatures that the guys come up with and laying lyrics over them when some people hear their music, start to tap their foot and lose track. There are a lot of good interviews and other videos. One that is pretty much a must for Tatiana fans is the video she did for Revolver Magazine called Man or Beast. Her personality really shines in that one. I have a playlist of other behind the scenes stuff here kzbin.info/aero/PLhlYsqoR9XLH7QHy-YJJajBU_5uc3iXI6 I for one would gladly venture into the woods to seek an audience with the queen. I'm not afraid.... well okay maybe a little.

[@VocalCitizen]

I'd bring her some tabasco sauce. Just in case... Thanks for the link and the AMAZING logic. I dig it.

[@chrisflaim8257]

I commented before this but Ukrainian Metal Bands channel has all Jinjer interviews new & old when they speak russian they have english subtitles I help find some of those interviews for them to translate. Tatiana's best interview by herself is with the Charismatic Voice channel. She recently from earlier this year did a interview on Knotfest channel.

[@coder4liberty]

@@chrisflaim8257 I like the one with Beth Roars as well.

[@ericpeterson7512]

This is a great video. And a great reaction. The performances here are so good. Especially Wallflower. It's just gorgeous and immaculate. They are so good live. This intimate setting really shows how tight and smooth they are. Military precision. Ukrainians are badass. They're smart and savvy and resourceful. They're a whole country of McGyvers. BeeTeeDubs, they speak Russian. It's their first language, although they can speak Ukrainian. That's the case for much of eastern Ukraine I think, especially the Donbass. It's arguably a symptom of Russification. Generations of Russian-speaking families live in Donbass. But it is Ukraine, not Russia. Historically speaking it goes all the way back to Kievan Rus (Kyiv was founded by Swedish Vikings, check it out!). In the modern era it was liberated from the Soviet Union in 1991.

[@VocalCitizen]

I was raised by a MacGyver. I'm so glad you enjoyed the reaction. I'll be doing the original music vids of all these tracks.

I do disagree with Eugene a little when he talks about cancel culture. ALL forms of art have ALWAYS had severe critics in their time. Poets, composers, painters, sculptors. Every one of them has pissed some people off somewhere. Mostly pearl clutching religious folks.

the main difference is that back then, people would attack the _[thing]_ (usually) ; and people were a lot more open to forgive-and-forget -- we still understood and appreciated the concept of redemption. but nowadays, 1 wrong word and the crybully brigade sets out to destroy your _entire life_ .

@@Double_J_48629 Throughout history there is evidence of ostracization and even outright killings of people that thought and expressed differently. Artists have sparked violent controversy forever.
