[@dyzzee7861]

please do a vocal analysis on tallah- L.E.D (one take vocal performance)their vocalist justin bonitz is extremely animated to the point you can see how his whole body affects his voice

[@danzig9410]

Next Rise Against song HAS to be Hero of War. The emotion in that song is heavy.

[@brothersdebate882]

Could you do a vocal analysis of this is the moment performed by Anthony warlow

[@Jonboy997]

You should do Jesus of suburbia by green day. It's their absolute best song and a rollercoaster of music tbh

[@webcrawler2007]

Hero Of War is a song from Rise Against that truly deserves more shine. It's wonderful, simple, and powerful.

[@njal87]

Agree!

Yes

[@thomas60274]

Most people are sleeping on it but" people live here" is one of their best vocal songs. I saw it live and it hits where it needs to.

[@alvatrous]

fking love that song. disparity by design and tragedy + time are other good ones

[@MichaelMLFC92]

It's incredible.

[@Thennecan]

Love that song!

[@Algernon7]

Honestly, the entire discography of Rise Against is reaction worthy in my opinion. They are truly a legendary band.

[@deltav864]

I'd like to put a newer gem in the basket: The Answer

[@cixelsyd40]

Definitely check out their song "Make it Stop (September's Children)". It's a heavy song, but has a powerful message that needs to be heard.

[@ShadowPerson11]

10000000% agree! That's another good one for a BetterHelp sponsor, too.

[@InZomnia365]

Help is On The Way is also great. Second verse never fails to give me goosebumps.

[@GreyfauxxGaming]

Agree 100%

[@therandleray]

Came here to say the same thing, Make It Stop, and Help is on the Way are absolutely necessary.

[@jackinthebox135]

Yes.One of their best. I always tear up at that song.

[@boneapptheteeth2039]

I've seen Rise Against a few times in concert and I can say for sure that Tim sounds exactly like this live also. He's incredible.

[@DangeHD]

He used to sound like that, but he´s getting older and he doesn´t have the energy he used to anymore. But to be clear that´s natural and more than understandable after all these years :D

[@boneapptheteeth2039]

@@DangeHD He also recently took some vocal lessons to figure out how to have more clarity and less strain without sacrificing the power.

[@choppsuey4626]

He's an amazing singer, much like a Chester Bennington in the fact that you can't have the band without him

[@ryanlowe7315]

Ive seen them live, love him wnd the band but no, he does not sound like this hardly at all especially these days

[@murphymoerf]

@@DangeHD I've seen them live three times and I cannot say he doesn't have the energy. His voice isn't what it was fifteen years ago (Rise Against sadly also usually don't have the best mix live), but he always gives it all on stage. No pun intended :D I guess early on in his career he didn't take care of his voice enough, but it's never a lack of energy or effort

[@bonniebernido8510]

Rise against is astonishingly good and their messages are real raw and blunt. I love that you're diving into them

[@ptsb5a]

Rise Against's social commentary is one of the best. All of their songs find a way to speak truths that are hard for most to hear. Their entire discography is good for the compassionate human that hides in each of us.

[@Chaps_Jr]

If i may make a suggestion for a band to analyze in a future video: AFI. AFI was one of the big powerhouse emo/pop punk bands of the 90s and 00s. Davey Havok has such an unmistakably beautiful, dynamic voice, and a total mastery of his craft. He's also a beautiful man.

[@oliviabrown1708]

Absolutely! "Miss Murder" is probably their most iconic song, but I'm also very fond of "God Called In Sick Today".

[@thepixelglitched]

I loved the older, hardcore and later emo-punk stuff; As I've gotten older, I've also _really_ come to appreciate their modern post-punk stuff, a lot. AFI is still just an incredible band. I like Davey and Jade's side project Blaqk Audio a lot, too.

[@Chaps_Jr]

@@thepixelglitched Davey's new wave project, DREAMCAR, is incredible as well. Sounds exactly like authentic 80s new wave.

[@henrylee7316]

basically she just needs to do more punk music lol

[@thepixelglitched]

@@Chaps_Jr Blaqk Audio (Davey and Jade) is also very good.

[@miniman995]

I remember when I first heard Rise Against. And they have been on my playlist ever since. 10-15 years I've been listening. And I have to say, their live performances are even more incredible. Tim McIlraths voice could hush the entire crowd. or make everybody scream at the top of their lungs. with barely an effort. truly awesome.

[@conors4430]

RA my favourite band and have been since 2006. A few facts. This song almost didn’t make the album, the band didn’t particularly like it, their booking Agent told them they were idiots to not include it. So they did, and it became their biggest song. Tim would also be cool to get an interview with. He’s one of the nicest guys in rock ‘n’ roll and up until 2017, nine years after this song was released. He had never had a singing lesson, but his voice started to play up, and he started to Get issues on an off stage. He got vocal training in between their album, wolves and their latest album nowhere generation. The difference in his voice between those two albums is crazy, because he has found a way to bring the grit back into his voice without destroying his voice. And that’s basically 20 years into his career. Anything from the albums, revolutions per minute, siren, songs of the counter culture, the sufferer and the witness or Appeal To Reason is basically solid gold. And the latest album, Nowhere Generation is brilliant because he has been able to let loose vocally in a way he wasn’t able to sustain for a good few years. Because of vocal lessons.

[@InjectTheWaste]

Yeah when she was mentioning that his voice sounds like its almost about to break, its because it was, no training and screaming like he was was unsustainable but produced such a raw emotionally driven sound that resonates in such an awesome way. the nowhere sessions of the classic songs show how big the change in his voice was after vocal training, the songs are completely different.

[@alexpool2814]

Im way behind here, but I really think she needs to listen to some of The Killing trees Romance of Helen Trent. This shows Tim's raw power early in his career. Personally, it's my favorite album he has done. A reaction to Violets are Blue would be so cool to see on the channel.

[@Gforceracing20]

'Swing Life Away' was my wedding song. To give you a different side of Rise Against. This video has a 2 minute "interview" at the beginning for you to hear his speaking voice: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oX-2qqWfhKuDhqM

[@bigbert21]

I had Swing in my wedding as well. My wife said I get a handful of songs.... And that was an easy choice

[@chaoscat666]

it was mine too! Although we're no longer together it still holds such a special place in my heart, what a beautiful choice to make to express love and a relationship

[@2424Lars]

That is very good wedding song, nice!

[@deeduffjr]

This was the absolute anthem of my mid 20's!

[@MichaelStockUK]

Another vote for Swing Life Away - I think it was my introduction Rise Against.

[@rueburch2856]

The producers are Bill Stevenson (also the drummer for The Descendents, ALL, and at one time Black Flag) and Jason Livermore at the Blasting Room. They've done most of Rise Against's albums as well as a lot other punk bands over the last 20 years or so, and I've always loved what they do. They manage to keep the raw power and emotion in there while putting a lot of ear candy in.

[@kr1ptyk137]

I recommend another song by them called Hero Of War. It is deeply moving and very poignant. Very worth a listen. Possibly even a video?

[@lukebarnes8097]

An overlooked Rise Against song lyrically I believe is Collapse Post Amerika. Its the first song on Appeal to Reason and it's an electric, really strong way to open an album.

[@rockon01233]

This band has an endless amount of amazing songs. I hope you get to hear many more! One of my all time favorite bands.

[@Magister2005]

Savior holds a special place in my heart. Was the second song I heard from Rise Against and the one that sold me on the band. Been listening to them ever since. I would love to see Tragedy + Time. Was a song that helped me when I was in a dark spot

[@2424Lars]

Same with Me, Tragedy + Time is very powerful song!

[@NovaVortexNV]

This song is such a banger that it never left my playlist.

Rise Against and Bad Religion are delightful bands. It's amazing how they take some 'simple' punk chord progressions, up tempo drums, and passionate vocals and make absolute magic out of it.

[@joelnordgaard5155]

[@And_rew92]

Rise Against is one of the most underrated bands. They have so many songs that are bangers, yet really go unappreciated.

[@ItsAllGood_]

Has CV ever broken down a Volbeat song?? Michael Paulsen has such a unique voice. And the music shreds. Also, one of the best live rock bands around. Check out "Lonesome Rider" live. The studio track is him trading choruses with Sarah Blackwood. When they perform it live he sings BOTH parts and even changes his voice to a higher/softer pitch to do her part. It's amazing.

[@alexbliss9353]

I thought someone was suggesting the Mars Volta for a second. That would be great as well.

[@InZomnia365]

Michael has some of the best live vocal performances I've heard from a rock singer for sure

[@AlarikMac21]

I second that she should react to volbeat. Lonesome rider, Lola Montez, heaven nor hell, fallen, or cape of our hero would all be great choices, but that whole outlaw gentleman and shady ladies album is fantastic

[@sallie5321]

yes!! I'd love to see this. I think something like the live version of For Evigt would also be an interesting watch for her with Olsen featuring, such different voices but both powerhouses!

[@ItsAllGood_]

​@@AlarikMac21Those are all great choices. I could rattle off so many good choices. For Evigt, Still Counting, Sad Man's Tongue, Mirror and the Ripper, A Warrior's Call, Becoming, Leviathan, Heaven Nor Hell, etc...I could keep going...haha. I mentioned Lonesome Rider Live because his vocals are tremendous, especially live.

[@stemench706]

It's incredible how she reacts. I don't really speak english but i can understand her, she is so expresive. Nice video

[@MozillaFennekin]

Rise Against has been my favorite band for 15 years now; it's so great hearing such a detailed and enthusiastic review of their music. If you find yourself looking to do another RA analysis, I'd recommend "Ready to Fall" to get Tim's hardcore vocals on full display.

[@johnmusseau6953]

Id love to see your take on their acoustic album, rise against ghost note symphonies. They re-do a bunch of their songs with much more acoustic vibe.

[@markfrey5653]

I was about to say the same. It’s such a good album, just a different take on their songs and still as good

And Help Is On The Way is a heartbreaking one reminding me of hurricane Katrina. But I literally have never heard a song from them I didn't like! Those are just a couple to mention. I've got a hell of a lot more to suggest for any purpose! That'd why I love them!

Hope you do another video on them at some point. Saw them live back in 2010 and they were great. I never realized at the time how much symbolism they put into their music. I think they're the only band I've seen where the audience at one point sang an entire verse for them.

[@Eric998765]

The things I would do for a remaster of that game

[@CrippledMerc]

This song kinda triggered something in me many years ago. It wasn’t a new song to me, I had been listening to it since it came out and seen them live a couple times. It just didn’t really hit me until I was in a certain situation and happened to hear it. That day I made a choice to make a change and walk away from someone and something that I had put many years of my life into up to that point, trying desperately to make it work despite all the bullshit. I just couldn’t do it anymore. I realized that the mental toll it was taking on me wasn’t worth what I was getting in return, so I walked away. It’s weird how you can hear a song countless times and then when you hear it at the right time and place it can have a completely different and profound effect on you like that. Either way, I’ve never looked back since I made that choice, and the only thing I’d go back and change is that I wish I had done it sooner.

[@terrymartin5839]

I'm sorry about the situation you went through for this song to click. So many songs I've listened to all my life have had multiple personal interpretations depending on my age, experiences I'm going through, or different moods while listening. It's what I love most about music and really highlights great and timeless song writing imo.

[@jonathanmartin3767]

This song hits me hard too. Not 100% sure why. But it just resonates. Maybe it is the message of the song with the chaos of the music. Sometimes I swear my brain won't switch off and the noise is just all over the place.

[@WillRobinson]

A friend of mine was going through a similar situation and had this exact response to "This Is Letting Go".

This is one of my all time favourite bands. I love Tim's voice, I love how they play with tempo shifts, I love their lyrics, their energy, all of it. But more than anything else, I love how every part of their music speaks to me from a place of deep, deep compassion and thoughtfulness. And I think no song encapsulates what I mean better than "Tragedy + Time" and I would love to see you react to it. The song, to me, is about the importance of acknowledging and accepting sadness and grief as a necessary part of life, in order to be able to overcome and grow out of it. It makes you feel seen, it gives you hope and perspective and it is one of those songs, that has probably saved thousands of lives already. And I think a lot more people out there could use a song like that, so I'd be very happy if it could find a platform on your channel. Lots of love to all of you.

I hadn't really thought about it before, but the way you highlight the production aspect of this song has helped me understand the role of a producer in making music.

Elizabeth, thanks for introducing me to another great artist. I suggest everyone check out your library of videos, as they will likely learn of a new favorite. My new favorites are The Warning, a power trio of 3 sisters from Mexico and Angelina Jordan, a self taught jazz singer who can sing just about anything. I have no doubt at all, both will be creating awesome music for decades to come.

The way his voice keeps stepping up in intensity, from the line "there's no time like the present, to drink these draining seconds", then up to "seldom do these words ring true...", then again at the bridge; it makes me think of the times in a conversation where someone is either not understanding (perhaps wilfully, but not necessarily) or is intentionally trying to push you, until at the chorus, feeling like the moment when it's been enough and the reaction is finally, 'alright fine, you wanna have a fight, let's fight.' and just throwing down.

Rise Against are one of the few survivors of the punk genre after pivoting to a more poppy sound. Which is to say, yes, their instruments tend to fall apart in their music videos.

[@Mattyman1987]

Even though they went more poppy, they still kept their punk edge at the same time.

I keep rise against and bad religion on my phone and always come back two those two in particular.

[@MarinoV1]

It's funny that you did this song so soon after Everlong. I saw Rise Against open for Foo Fighters in 2011 in Columbus, OH.

[@laurieemme1534]

I thought the same! I saw them on that tour as well!

[@quieteyes881]

These guys have so many great, meaningful songs.

[@Meenie66]

God I LOVE the pick up in pace into the chorus in this. It just sounds bloody awesome!! What an excellent song, I have never heard it before. This is why I love watching Elizabeth's channel so much.

[@unofficialairsofts]

I highly recommend listening to Tonight The World Dies by Avneged Sevenfold. It's a true underrated gem and really shows off what M. Shadows is capable of.

[@johnnorthcutt6734]

I really enjoy your break down of some of my favorite songs. Feel like I hear them in a different way, through your expression and explanation throughout. Looking forward to more.

[@brianware8934]

Suggestion time again! Red Handed Denial - “Father Said” (Lauren Babic live one take performance) Recentish version of Lauren who can sing beautifully and scream with the best of them.

[@justjoddat]

A few years ago, I saw Deftones and Rise Against, in Toronto. Such a sick show.

[@thequirkyquark]

Savior was immensely popular, but there are great songs that flew under the radar. Drones, for one. Life Less Frightening. Ready To Fall. Survive. Paper Wings.

[@nikkan3810]

I'm still listening to drones quite often, though i discovered it much later than the rest 😅

[@erikbladh7464]

This is Rise Againsts most popular song for a reason, and inarguably their best, no matter what some OG fans might say. The production is a masterpiece, the lyrics relatable and angry, and Tim is at the peak of his voice. Can't wait for you to analyze more of this awesome band!

[@yowsaSC2]

Hero of war next plz

[@jebus7679]

Rise Against is amazing. They are one of the few bands that I have seen multiple times. And I would keep seeing them no matter how many times I had seen them before. They sound so good live.

[@galacticcannibl1966]

Please check out Volbeat. You'll love Michael Paulsen's voice!

[@levantreven9659]

This makes me curious to see your take on The Ramones and The Offspring.

[@e.g.6386]

How have you not done an analysis on Claudio Sanchez of Coheed and Cambria? You need to do one for Blood Red Summer or A Favor House Atlantic. Claudio has the perfect voice for you to really dive deep and break down for us.

[@TheCharismaticVoice]

Coheed and Cambria is coming! They've been on my list for some time, and my patrons have finally gotten a song onto my list that I'm interested in analyzing!

[@e.g.6386]

@@TheCharismaticVoice I'm excited for that. In that case I'll give one more suggestion from a more personal place that I have wanted you to do since I discovered you years ago. Leon Russell is a local legend here in Tulsa. He greatly inspired a whole generation of artists in the 70s including Elton John and Eric Clapton. I don't feel he gets the recognition he deserves among the rock gods of the past. He has a song called "A Song For You" that he puts so much emotion into that it hurts. The song has been covered by artist ranging from Willie Nelson and Ray Charles to Whitney Houston, Michael Buble and Amy Winehouse. Unique and emotional voice.

[@KY.0009]

​@@TheCharismaticVoiceI'm excited for the Coheed song!

[@justin.rodgers]

Listen to Welcome Home!

[@Lauckitdown]

Rise Against has been my favorite concert so far. Tim did a solo, acoustic version of a few songs during a break and it was phenomenal. Love your analysis of him, and the songs in general!

[@stuartwatts3388]

Would love to hear you do a Jane’s Addiction song. Perry Farrell has such an unusual voice. A great band from the late 80s early 90s

[@stephenm8725]

Jane says / I'm done with Sergio...

[@jewmaxin1984]

Tum has such a unique presence with his voice, production, lyrics and how Rise Against tells stories in their work. One of my favorite songs of theirs is The Good Left Undone.

[@iamhestbech.iamorphan]

Have you done rise against hero of war ?

[@jrgengunderengen9130]

Completely agree with a lot of other commenters, you need to make a video of the song "Hero of War" - just speaking of anguish in Tim's voice and the emotions conveyed through the lyrics

[@NickiAvenged]

This throws me back into moddle school. I love this band. They were a huge part of my teen years!

[@son2soaringeagle]

Their vocals and music are very punk rock inspired Elizabeth. When this genre is done right, its distinctly different from metal in that it remains melodic while still bringing alot of energy and a driving rhythm.

[@sirboi]

How charismatic you gotta be to really dig into every single nuance not only on Tim's voice but also all the work involved in it's production. Bravo, this was a joy to watch!
