[@paulrhodes8770]

Thats why i like your reactions ,you got the meaning after a minute, most reactors not a clue ,well done 👍

[@TauriReacts]

Thank you so much 😀

Masterpiece. I can totally relate to the lyrics. The music. The composition. As an introvert, empath, spiritualist with social anxiety. I can totally relate. Love it.❤️👍

Jinjer evokes different feelings for different people and their music encompasses so many types of people and that is their power.

[@TexasVeteranPatriot]

Tatiana said in an interview that this album is a road map to understanding Tati. Even the band didn't know some things she felt. There's a direct correlation to the pressure she feels for lyric writing for the album. Her bandmates pursue her, pressure her. The bullets at them do nothing, but then she throws "her art" (metaphor for the lyrics they want) at them and they go away. The wolf story (below) is critical to understanding her internal conflicts as displayed by the wolf art. Thank you, Tati, for giving us a glimpse into your world. From a Tennessee Cherokee...Keep feeding the White Wolf. White Wolf, Black Wolf: A Cherokee Story Inside you lives a wolf of white- of patience, peace and love. He is forgiveness, hope and light; a blessing from above. This wolf of white the world will see through all the good he brings to thee. _____This wolf of white, _____this wolf of white, his gifts will set your spirit free. A wolf of black, as dark as night lives next to him inside. He’s hatred, rage, cruelty, fright, intolerance and pride. This wolf of black the world will see through evil actions, evil deeds. _____This wolf of black, _____this wolf of black, his teeth will make your spirit bleed. Within your soul, the two wolves fight to see which one will give directions and will win the right to show you how to live. Which one will win the fight? We need to pay attention; pay close heed! _____Which one will win? _____Which one will win depends upon which one we feed.

Epica used this story in their single Freedom (The Wolves Within) you should check it out if you haven't already. My husband also has Cherokee blood running through his veins.

Amazing Reaction!!! Tatiana screams usually doesn't bother me but this here seriously hit home for some strange reason in bringing tears. 🎸⚡⚡⚡

[@camlloyd3321]

Beautiful and brilliant! The internal conflict that Tatiana goes through as being an introvert who has a life style that requires her to be an extrovert is represented here. Deep, meaningful, and brilliant!

[@GG-iu6xd]

Every song has something to offer at a high level...

[@viewer9997]

it’s out to buy on iTunes Store today

[@suzanavelvet6975]

I totally agree with you! 😊 And yeah, I'm an introvert too...

[@j.f.fisher5318]

It is a really great song. I'm in the same boat about hoping the shows don't get postponed. I'm glad to at least be helping them keep going though.

[@AnthroFiend]

As a fellow introvert, I FEEL you and this song! I really love the aesthetic of the video too.

[@MustaLaatta]

Great reaction to great vid...

[@robertmiles6667]

The next year or two, a blockbuster movie starring Tatiana

[@randalljones4370]

Chin up. We all want to enjoy Jinjer in the best possible circumstances. If it is postponed, it is for our own good (odd that we might have to be spoonfed our medicine by a band from Ukraine). (I'm seeing people drop left and right around me right now... I'm kind of GLAD I work all day inside an N95) On being an introvert : I tend to be a homebody, and have issues speaking in front of crowds.... but give me a 1-on-1 audience with a patient and I can talk up a maelstrom . Thankfully, work forces me out enough that I don't get the chance to go SandPaint Psycho. Great reaction Tauri.... so many songs hit us where we live, languish, and love. Be safe out there.

If people wasn't to fucking stupid to get the vaccine, we wouldn't still be in this mess.

[@danieldavis1028]

Great its their most marketable song since pieces.

[@milaanew6115]

thankful.. great reaction.. thanks to clip for normalizing introverted people in this time..)) Yes, we're living in dark times - not just the pandemic, not only climate collapse, but the WAR with Russian Federation in Tanya's country Ukraine too..

[@rofyle]

I liked this one. It had a great hook, and wow that beginning section when the bass begins gave me strong Sixpence vibes.

[@JustJenRx]

❤️ hey pretty!!! 💕 great reaction!

[@TauriReacts]

Thank you so much gorgeous!! 💜

[@Dark__Thoughts]

I'm glad you got the song, most reactors didn't. But I guess sitting in front of a camera is usually more for outgoing people, which do not seem to be able to relate to it as much, or at all. I'll paste my a longer comment which I wrote for JW Soundworks with my interpretation, if you are interested in reading it below. Definitely the most relatable song for me so far. When it gets all dissonant I always get the goosebumps, followed by the climax of her really painful scream. This is already my favorite album, just based on those three bangers that we got. "Alright. Not sure how I structure this, especially at this hour… But here goes my current interpretation, hopefully somewhat readable. First of all, I don't think this is really covid related, but, once again, kinda about anxiety and introvert people, but also has elements of burnout or depression. We know that Tatiana has a pretty negative view of the world and some issues from her songs and her interviews. I believe the powder stuff she's doing is more of a meditative art form from Asia, but I'm not entirely sure either. It is however what is inside of the red box. The black & white / grayscale is definitely used for the scenes playing in the past, which later catches up with her, but I am not sure what the red color might represent, unless it's just an artsy choice (probably not). I think this is literally about her band life though, and the recent fame the band is experiencing, adding more pressure and stress, while Tatiana's anxiety makes even social interactions already quite stressful. If you don't know how that feels, think about stressful situations in your life, and then apply that stress to absolutely everything outside of your own 4 walls - even "good" situations, like being with friends, or situations that you wouldn't even think about, like potential social interactions when you cross someone on the sidewalk (or just the thought of it). That's why home is important, your castle, the place where you rest up again and refill those empty batteries that the sick outside world constantly drains. So I think Tatiana is sort of running away from this to be alone and care for herself instead, but the band life is catching up to her (in 2021, after quite a long break). The two wolves represent her inner feelings. The black wolf does not smell the blood, it gets active due to Tatiana's anger in that situation. We can also see it going absolutely wild when she guns her band members down, which might symbolizes her lashing out at them when she is stressed out. But they aren't leaving or getting hurt by it, still there for her, after becoming family after all those years, but also pushing her into those stressful situations. She's basically having those two side in herself that are struggling with the positive and negative aspects of her life and what it became over the years. I'm still not entirely sure about the art piece. The symbol is Pisces, her zodiac sign. I suspect her working on it strengthens the white wolf, as she does it as a self caring measure. But I am not quite sure if she's destroying it in the end, or if it symbolizes more of a channeling of that gained strength, or how exactly it relates to the band vanishing. She did this after acting aggressively though, so maybe it just means instead of lashing out, that she calmly took her time for herself instead and gained new strength and a certain inner balance again. Definitely still some open questions here on my end too, but I think it would fit of what I learned about her as a person (which, granted, is of course not much). As someone with depression and anxiety I feel I can really relate to the song though. There is a lot of emotion, in the lyrics, vocals as well as the instrumentals. The first bit is really calm and quite positive sounding, but then kinda turns really dissonant and eerie, giving me goosebumps every time so far, which is then followed by a really hurting sounding scream."

My BF and I are like you and your husband haha. He's happy staying home and I want to get out to the grocery store once in a while.

YEEESSSSSSS

I also have tickets for them in November in Denver. . I'm hoping it doesn't get canceled.

[@ChrisPage68]

The wolf motif is the same one Epica used on "Freedom (The Wolves Within)".

[@Immortall1408]

You are right that the same visual motif is in the Epica´s song, but I am not so sure about their meanings being identical. Have you already watched the new Ad Infinitum single? :-)

Intoverts unite! ..separately! ..in our own homes! 🔥I already love Wallflower! I love the beautiful way it starts, and I know I'd still love it if was all clean singing, but I'll admit I was hoping for a turn, unsure if it would come, and was not disappointed! Wallflower hits me hard as a depressed introvert (always antisocial, always antifascist!), but more generally, Jinjer helps me vent heavy thoughts and I think more people are being drawn to music like this because we're living in dark times - not just the pandemic, but the looming climate collapse that is underway caused by the narrow minded greed of the ruling class of capitalism which Tatiana has written about in many ways in so many songs. Thank you as always, Tauri, great reaction! ❤🖤🤘

[@Immortall1408]

It sounds quite bluesy, but it would not be a Jinjer song without some djentiness being present.
