Double Feature! We React to Jinjer "Perennial"

[@saadesigner07]

I think you ladies would love “I speak Astronomy” and “Pit of Consciousness”.

[@Neal_YouTube]

Definitely I Speak Astronomy

[@odell4625]

Second that. 2 of their best songs.

[@stangcobra592]

I suggested the Pit double reaction, official and Live Kiev :)

[@slapmaster5001]

Bam perfect

[@unknownx7252]

I too speak astronomy

[@michaelmalpassclemsonnatio9670]

Few bands sound better live than in studio, but jinjer is one of them.

[@KaiMarcad]

True, which reminds me: BAND-MAID / DOMINATION (Feb. 14th, 2020).

[@Wollestar]

When I heard Pisces the first time on the record after listening to it so many times in the live version, I was very disappointed to be honest. The ghost notes on the drums alone give it that much more life. It is insane

[@MRDARKTURKEY]

Wollestar the original version had their previous drummer, the live session was actually done to showcase what Vlad’s style added to the song...

[@Soulxlight]

I love how more raw the live versions are. The studio versions tend to keep Tatiana's voice more centered which is fine but I like her more guttural live vocals. Another thing I miss which she rarely does live or studio anymore is scream. She screams but instead of her high screams like in Scissors or Exposed as a Liar she does mid high guttural screams.

[@Xord499]

Gojira also

[@GeronimoSioux]

try "who s gonna be the one" or " teacher techer" or "Outlander" :+)

[@underdawgboost]

☝️This!!!!!

[@polish72]

Yesss and "Sit Stay Roll Over" too

[@gerbdev]

Yes, Yes and YES!

[@j.f.fisher5318]

All great songs. :)

[@frankenvonstein3386]

these 3 are a must

[@brianthompson9677]

This is probably one of my favorite reactions to Perennial. I love that you talk about the lyrics and visuals. It is such a powerful song about "perennials" but more about tatianas seasonal depression. Its in my top 3 favorite jinjer songs lol

[@williamgoble2831]

Im glad to see y'all decide to follow the rabbit down the hole now we need to see Teacher Teacher, Judgment and punishment, whos gonna be the one, outlander.

[@caveira13]

dude, I speak astronomy!!! :)

[@bertoneill2488]

Sit Stay Roll Over

[@taiyonokuroi]

Just Another.

[@briansteenbergen501]

I was at this gig last year at wacken. 11 o'clock in the morning, and they where ripping the place apart. one of the best new band in the last 10 years

[@geneticrex]

I'm requesting..."Teacher Teacher", multiple times. You'll love it.

[@michaelbrooks742]

So damn glad you ladies were able to finally get back around to Jinjer. Ari, as you were noting the poetic sense of their songs, Tatiana studied poetry at University (in particular Russian poets) and she's been writing poetry since her pre-teen years. Many of her lyrics are inspired or pulled straight out of her own poems.

[@jonathanbradshaw2665]

So good to have someone pick up on Tatiana's lyrics as the 'best' thing, totally with you on this, Ari. Some metal lyrics can be a bit knuckle-dragging, or just, "I want to blow things up till it's all gone away" (not all, there are other great lyricists in the genre), but Tatiana's lyrics add a whole other layer of discovery, reflection and revelation from a female perspective within a male-dominated culture that retain their 'Metal' (with a capital M) credibility. Got to love her, and them, for that too.

[@swergdach]

> Tatiana's lyrics add a whole other layer of discovery, reflection and revelation from a female perspective within a male-dominated culture that retain their 'Metal' (with a capital M) credibility LOL, another demagogue stretches his hype-trending (according to all these likes) "vision" to where it doesn't exist. I wonder if Tanya herself knows that she is "fighting" for a place in the "male" world of "Metal"? She probably has to fight with all the other members of the group 24/7, because they are men, and they are also dare to be white? Spoiler: no. Or maybe she is the first vocalist in the "cursed" world of "male Metal", and therefore she suffers every day from the humiliation of men? Spoiler: no. This is ridiculous! By the way, an interesting question: why are there more male vocalists in "Metal" than women? Maybe women singers are just LESS INTERESTED in "Metal " as a musical genre? No, that's crazy, isn't it? It's just that the men forcibly ousted the women from the "Metal", yep. Cool story bro. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@RahimRahmat]

@@swergdach Meow?

[@89mdawg]

teacher, teacher - Jinjer. The message and lyrics are great.

[@encapsulatio]

@ That's not really a thing in Eastern Europe...so no.

[@MDDham0]

Jinjer - who is gonna be the one live napalm records

[@weswing04]

Definitely this one! She looks and sounds so good

[@MyBrainDontWork920]

If you want another double feature (from Jinjer) Do Cloud Factory and Cloud Factory (Official Live Video). It's one of their older songs, but I think its one of their best!

[@j.f.fisher5318]

yes, this! :)

[@TokSic420]

Yes, Cloud Factory is aurguably one of their best, along with Outlander

[@Alesia_Ianotauta]

Love your reactions, but I can't stop laughing at the kitty doing stuff in the background (or the foreground). 😂😂😂

[@FalconFlurry]

These lyrics are among my favourite of all time, so much so that I wrote them on a t-shirt, lol. One thing that makes them even more meaningful is the double meaning behind them. They are not about suicide. The real meaning behind this song is not obvious at all, thankfully Tatiana explained it in an interview. One thing I appreciate about Jinjer is they always explain what their songs are about. Basically Tatiana wrote the lyrics to reflect her own seasonal depression. She used the natural cycle of life -particularly of a perennial flower that dies, then comes back to life, as a metaphor that illustrates what her depression feels like. This is a story that describes how when the fall comes and nature starts dying her depression sets in and she too feels like she is dying, like death is crawling to her toes. She says her goodbyes to the world, but she has a glimmer of hope because she knows it will pass and she will see everyone again next time. You can feel the pain and desperation in her voice when she screams "Goodbye!", that line gives me chills. The part about winter I think is pretty clear in this context. When it comes to spring she feels like a new person, like she has been reborn. One of the last lines I think is really powerful: "From the ashes of my roots the new me will rise to live again". That is literally what a flower does, the flower dies and turns to dust, but the roots remain intact through the winter and from those ashes a new flower grows in the spring. Indeed, the flower was not dead, it was just resting in a coma. These lyrics are incredible, and to add to that English is not her first language, or possibly even her second! The band is from Eastern Ukraine, so their native language is Russian, and no doubt they also speak Ukrainian, yet her ability to write poetry in a foreign language exceeds a lot of artist's ability to write lyrics in their own native language. Keep up with the jinjer reactions, every song has a story of its own, every song is completely different and incredible in its own respect, don't be afraid to look up the meaning of the lyrics beforehand. If you want another lyrically creative song I would suggest Bad Water, Cloud Factory, or When Two Empires Collide. Bad Water is about a dystopian future where humans have ruined the earth by pollution, Cloud Factory is about people that are willing to destroy other humans and the earth just to turn a profit. It is written from the antagonist's perspective. And the third one is about the Ukrainian civil war/Russian invasion that began in 2014 and is still ongoing. The band experienced this firsthand as they had to flee from their homes when the war started. Even now it is difficult for them to get in contact with their families.

[@crhu319]

That is a truly deep and valuable review, very much thanks for that.

[@Neocoolzero]

They have incredible looking videos, check out Judgement & Punishment for a incredible mix of reggae with metal, they are masters of mixing diferent sounds and genres with metal, and that's an awesome one. And Teacher teacher is mandatory!!

[@Makka316]

They could do a double feature with the music video and live video of "Judgement & Punishment". The music video is entertaining in itself as a mini-film and the live in Melbourne video shows them being able to pull it off live.

[@StevePronger]

@@Makka316 Great suggestion

[@jazoon7249]

Yeah, finally someone did both versions together. Love you guy's reactions. The meaning of the song is comparing Tati's seasonal depression with nature's cycle. Also Jinjer's music videos are all bomb.

[@TonDNT]

It's awesome to see that you guys recognize all the elements that make Jinjer a uniquely great band: great vocals, great instrumental, good poetic lyrics, Tatiana's charisma. I especially admire Leann for getting out of her comfort zone and recognizing the artists for their talents, even though it's not her typical style of music!

[@handcoding]

I loved this double feature-what a fun idea! And if you might like to check out some more Jinjer, I can totally vouch for “Who’s Gonna to Be the One” (live) “Teacher, Teacher”! And just to toss out another idea, if you might be up for another female-fronted metal band, I think you might like Arch Enemy-and as that goes, I think “The Eagle Flies Alone” might be up your alley!

[@jamescurfman3284]

YES! Awesome, Ashley! :)

[@goldenruletv7301]

Yes..& Arch Enemy is not half as original or talented in my humble opinion....matter of taste though, really

[@BluuurghAg9]

It was my pleasure to watch this 17 and a half minute video featuring 3 gorgeous ladies and good music.

[@edmondbaker2898]

I’ve loved System of a Down my whole life because of how they implement their culture into their sound. Jinjer does a beautiful job of just that. This is music you feel, not listen to and love every bit of it. All of Jinjer’s music is phenomenal!

[@mcanepa6787]

Very refreshing to see a reaction channel focus on their poetic lyrics. Great job!

[@aletheia_tv]

Great Jinjer reactions! Scissors, Outander, Retrospection..

[@aenimaexists5706]

Pls don't stop with Jinjer!!! You two are amazing and I want so much more!

[@niteshades690]

Tatiana is probably one of my favorite singers, I love the way she can switch from a soft angelic voice to such an intense growl

[@Skurian_krotesk]

Very cool that you did both videos!!! Since the life video came up nobody is reacting to the music video anymore and i miss that a little so thanks on that. I am a very poetic person.. I am a writer myself and when i look for good music the firt think i look up are the lyrics and jinjer has some really amazeing lyrics. Listen to ape if you want nice lyrics. It is a pretty chaotic and heavy song but the text is beautiful

[@oldmanjimh3165]

If not for KZbin we would not be exposed to the two of you. Thanks so much for the double feature. I absolutely LOVE Jinjer. Please do more. If you want some snow, come to Maine. We average over a hundred inches here.

[@BrianAustin-rm1ef]

Fantastic reaction, great chemistry and intelligent observations. Jinjer is my favorite pandemic discovery, and I’m hooked now.

[@stevendorsey4554]

Just watched this again after a year..........Still awesome!!!!!

[@miker4617]

I love that you did a double feature. It really shows jinjer video concepts are amazing. Her legs kicks are awesome during the live shows. They are my favorite band.

[@CamOp72]

Great reaction. Love seeing you enjoy Jinjer as much as we do. They are such an amazing band. Welcome to the Jinjer family. We all have that same crush on Tatiana😂 🤘🏻😝🤘🏻

[@auzdoz]

You ladies ROCK! love the reaction. Please check out more live Jinjer "Who's gonna be the one" , " I speak astronomy" .. Keep rocking🤘🏽

[@tdiamondskate]

I was supposed to see Jinjer live again last month but sadly it got cancelled. I seen them last October and they are amazing. You definitely need to check them out live when it ever happens again.

[@necrogoblin]

Teacher, Teacher! Next for sure

[@chriswalden798]

Hey wasn't sure what to expect being a first time visit to your channel, but really enjoyed both of your reactions to this amazing talented band! And nice surprise to see it was a double feature ;-D So many great songs its hard to recommend just one from this band, but look forward to your next Jinjer reaction whatever it is and hope you continue to do many more! I think the song "I speak Astronomy" official video would be a great next one for you ladies :-) PS I was lucky enough to see Jinjer live in a small intimate club venue last year in Canada on Halloween night, it was absolutely the best show i've seen and was so mesmerized watching Tatiana and the band perform literally 10 feet in front of me on stage after watching countless hours of them on youtube and listening to their albums, after just discovering them myself last year. I totally became immersed in them after going down the rabbit hole. Personally they are very interesting, raw/humble people if you get to know them through social media, interviews etc, and they deserve all the success and notoriety they are finally getting after 10 years as a band, all which really came to fruition for them from their Pisces song on youtube. They have to be the hardest working band out there!

[@Loki44]

Love your reactions ladies.!!! thank you

[@mannistef]

It was so much fun watching you two react to those songs. Thanks from Iceland.

[@billholder1330]

That soaring clean voice part after the second verse (6:27) where she crouches down at the end, then comes up growling like some zombie marionette, is my new favorite Jinjer moment! :)

[@thoronthol1175]

From the ashes of my roots... the new me, will rise and live again. Isn’t that incredible?

[@justinpramis3171]

There's so many things. One of my favorite things is how Tati matches her lyrical content with her vocal performance.

[@wally837]

It is great fun to watch your reactions. You two obviously care a lot for each other and it comes through in these videos. I think there are times that one enjoys the reactions of the other at least as much as the music/video.

[@Neal_YouTube]

I fucking loved loved LOVED your double reaction. I could tell you lovely ladies really dug this song.

[@bigbrutalbassbeer410]

Ah, concerts. I want to go to there.💪🏻🤘🏻

[@donchaffins1313]

You both are so adorable! I am glad that while metal may be out of your wheelhouse that you not only gave it a chance but seem to enjoy it. Keep up the good work!

[@ViktoriN.Nilsson]

What is one to say: top notch and thks for the warmth and nearness...💟💟💟

[@SSslicerSS]

Awesome reaction guys, its nice to see people understanding the background and meaning of the song, not many youtubers do that. And if you guys are going for the long run in reacting to Jinjer, i suggest going by order of what fans normally suggest, we jinjer fans are like that. "Teacher, teacher", and "Who is gonna be the one" live. And for me the next one is "Judgement and Punishment" live at melbourne 2020. Keep up the good work!

[@BeardiusMaximus]

I must've seen dozens of these, but i've never thought to watch the music video before. The live is SO much better! Damn!

[@stevenjohansen3827]

You two are fun great job on the double feature. Jinjer is one awesome band. Hope you get to more sooner than later, so you don't explode from trying to not listen to more.

[@BookofTerrors]

Love your enthusiasm for my favorite band.

[@ДанилГончаренко-е4ъ]

We need more Jinjer

[@tribaltalker1608]

Best Perennial reaction I've seen. Really so good - this is how to do a reaction. Already a subscriber so I just hit "Like". My suggestion for another possible double bill: Judgement & Punishment, there is a cracking live performance and a super fun official music video, plus (key bonus!) it's a really strong song. You'll get to see Tatiana's dark sense of humour in the music video. Warm regards from the UK!

[@aneliigarcia7158]

Y’all are gorgeous. Both of you.

[@joetrotsky6700]

I literally get goosebumps when she sings....her voice just...it just has an affect on me.

[@odell4625]

Fantastic reaction ladies!!!! Absolutely loved the double feature setup. So many others that react to Jinjer react to just the video or just the live performance, not realizing they are kind of doing theirself a disservice. They have so many songs with videos that are outstanding and live performances the match up to it, not to mention many of these songs have even deeper meanings than Perennial. Here's a few great examples Loved it. SUBBING On the top/ live in Kiev Pit of consciousness/live in Kiev Judgment and Punishment/live in Melbourne Cloud Factory

[@niewolnik72]

Love your reaction, my beautiful ladies !!! Tatiana is the Greater!!!

[@rofyle]

Your last reaction of Jinjer tickled me. It was cute and funny. I'm glad to see you guys back for more.

[@jen.g.]

The editing here is top notch. So glad you followed up with the music video. I totally want to hang out with you two after this. Please do more Jinjer. 🤘🏻🖤

[@paulthompson1294]

Just give in and so a Jinjer marathon, you won't regret it. Person favourites are "I speak Astronomy" and "teacher teacher", which hit me initially as a teacher before I took some time to understand it, but it is awesome and has a valid point in its message.

[@ThePoorBoy]

I just recently discovered them as well. I almost get the sense that the quarantine has really led to an explosion in awareness of them, and when they're able to start touring again, the band will be shocked by how much their fanbase has grown. When they come to your town, you better get on buying tickets, because I have a feeling their next tour will set out pretty quickly.

[@nateallen644]

Beautiful people thank you for the double 💕 you 2 are a delight! Keep up the positive vibes. The lyrics do remind me of EAP. Keep up the good work!!

[@briandaniels5745]

Great job watching both the live and official videos!! That would be a great idea to do when reacting to their videos as most of their videos have both regular and live official videos.

[@cloudrise]

HELL YES LOL Major cheers for doing the double feature!!!

[@PopRocks74]

I agree with many others... “Teacher, Teacher” & “Who’s Going to Be the One”. Y’all are great, btw. Keep killing it!

[@MrFreezeYo]

I know i am late to the party - but I just love your reaction. Thank you for sharing this. And yeah, I have a crush for her since a few weeks now, too :D

[@cameronwatson610]

You guys are rad I love these jinjer reactions

[@pvilches06]

Amazing live performance and such an epic video!!! Jinjer never disappoints! I love seeing your reactions. I hope you can react ans review "I Speak Astronomy" and "Teacher, Teacher". You two are awesome and lovely. 😊

[@christophparsons1729]

This is absolutely their most beautiful song. It is, in fact, poetry for me and you.

Im glad you watched the Music video. I find her so beautiful in it without the makeup.

[@jaykay3320]

Bigs ups for doing both live and studio videos! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@johnfish8208]

Love you girls 🙂❤ do much fun to enjoy Jinjer with

[@f1akman]

Love the enthusiasm in the reaction. Also great you did both. I like when the official studio version is followed up by or paired with a live performance so you can see how damned good they are live. Also, loved the cat in the background scrounging on the counter haha! Reminds me of home!

[@Slo1kDz3mu]

What a good reaction! Very expressive! Ssssssssubscribed!

[@NOSpwered]

Love you guys! You are both amazing!

[@guitarlicker_]

That was actually a really awesome idea to watch the video after the performance. Particular for a song with meaning.

[@OldManTenno]

They’ve quickly become one of my favorite bands. Tatiana gets the spotlight, but the whole band is pretty fucking good. The music is unique, and their lyrics are pretty deep. 🤘🏼

[@ElijahParfitt]

Love your reactions! Your guys rule!

[@doppelgangerV]

I loved this! You girls rock!

[@busser649]

I'm a little late to the party, so I'm hoping that other people are suggesting to do the same thing with their song "Judgement And Punished", live performance & the official MV. Both are spectacular.

women are just awesome singer song writers i listen to them all all ways listen keep an open mind or you will miss out

[@bjsmith6187]

I miss live music so bad. I feel your pain. I was supposed to be seeing Jinjer for the first time at Epicenter Music Festival the first weekend of May and it was canceled. It sucks so bad.

[@talictdf4757]

Teacher, Teacher is a great one. Plus the official live video is awesome as well.

[@cowboy41231]

Wow, an actual review and reaction of jinjer! ARI I totally agree with you about the senseless lack of “connection” to music videos and their lyrics! It’s frustrating. Jinjer is real, and badass at that. In the working world, They are like the “boss” that still works the heavy labor with the rest of the guys: meaning they do their own lyrics, composition, Tatiana obviously does her own makeup, etc. Their managers have been in/with the band for years. It’s awesome how tight nit of a group they are and it shows! Recognizing that is another level, good job! #jinjerarmy

[@TgBigNeil]

Seen them live in a small club setting at the ned of last year...I suggest you see them live...its AMAZING

[@MJR_heyfunny]

First of All love you guys def in my top 5 as far as reaction tubers go! loved the Pisces reaction especially. I recently got into Jinjer as well and immediately fell in love. Thought of Maria Brink of "In This Moment" as far as female leads that can sing and go full metal as well,.. Also really love Otep. ^_^ Tatiana though holy cow the talent and she is so tiny and adorable!!! Seems like a very sweet and friendly person from other videos I have seen :)

[@stangriffinstan_the_alaska9668]

It doesn't matter what you do next just keep the Jinjer coming it's all amazing

[@Chello53427]

Who Is Gonna Be The One (live) is amazing 👌🏻 and Teacher Teacher is also great

[@luiscandeias7718]

"Outlander" one of the first songs of the band...good rhythm...nice reaction 👍

[@johnny4055]

It's such an excellent performance and track 🤘

[@colbywaldemar8949]

Great reaction! Perennial' is about the Earth's 4 Seasons, mainly the Fall. How everything turns Brown and seemingly dies, .. As she kills herself'.. But, in the Spring, everything wakes up new! And how Tatiana' wishes she could do the same.. Awesome song! Awesome reaction! Subbed!

[@MrKingdavis13]

I have been a huge Jinjer fan for years and I could not be happier to see so many new fans being birthed from the experience they have mastered. Each and every song has something that makes it stand out from the others as you are beginning to see but the one common thread is that Tatiana (Booya) puts her heart into each songs lyrics and strives to get a point across in each compilation. As you saw in Pisces she was talking about the duality of life and the struggle with good and bad, in Perennial the natural balance of life and death. Some tracks are more focused on the musical aspect with extreme changes, breaks, shifts and things like that to keep the fans interested in that as well. For you ladies I would suggest reading the lyrics to "I speak astronomy" before watching the video so that you can appreciate the story being told before hearing how they composed it and try to imagine how they may have done it for yourself knowing how Jinjer sounds now. I bet you will be surprised even though you have an idea what to expect. This song is about her 28 year struggle to find "Mr Right" and the feeling that he must be in a different universe while telling the listener how we are all made of star dust that found its way here over extreme lengths of time and I think you will both be hooked on this track and it will be added to your playlist for sure.

[@Martonesdef]

Ohhh, double feature! I'm here for it..... 4 years later 😅

[@travesty-studios]

Yes! New reaction channel to binge! Edit: New to me, don't know how I've missed this channel.
