[@jonpaulcuzon5892]

"Sometimes you don't need breakdown to make a song heavy" definitely. Or you can have both to make a heavy heavy like Constance.

[@residentevilclone]

Constance was one of my favorite tracks last year. This song isn’t even close.

"What can this dude not dude" - Nik Nocturnal 2021

[@KennySchafer]

I love that bands are showcasing their range in genre and talent. I hope more comes from this and Spiritbox. Even Gideon has some stuff similar in range!

[@Loleasyclass]

Can't forget about Whitechapel either. Phil Bozeman has some great cleans. Especially in the acoustic version of Hickory Creek.

[@torbeno96]

Can you name some of the Gideon songs? I'm interested 😀

[@Krayvune]

Constance by spiritibox and this song hurt right in the feels.

[@Matt_Nor]

Proof that love is incredibly heavy Human connection is the absolute worst and best

[@SeenFeen]

Nik was expecting to get destroyed. Idk why he's so confused about getting emotionally destroyed

[@XxMechaxWolfxX]

Legit bawling while eating my taco bell rn, wtf bro I was NOT ready

[@SpaghettiWithMeatSauce]

This sounds weird, but I really like they way you plug your merch and channel. Super quick and painless but very obvious where we need to go to check out your other stuff. You don't spend 5 minutes like a lot of channels do. Props to that

[@VasKurtas]

Nik said at stream that he doesn't understand these people who puts tons of ads and in description there are links to all their stuff and merch at first place, before the song. But he himself does it :/

[@frost6006]

@@VasKurtas It's literally him promoting just himself for like, 10 seconds. Stop whining

[@anthonyaymond1746]

This video always punches me right in the gut every single time. Because it definitely reminds me of my grandparents, and their home too. Props to Darko.

[@aaaargl]

this got me all teared up bruh. thinking of my grandma that passed away 6 years ago.

[@moneton8627]

Exact same thing here, even the number of years are the same. Constance by Spiritbox had the same effect on me as well. Remembering all the good times but also the hard time right before her passing, slipping in and out of coma and didnt recognise me the last time i met her

[@jj_sakoo]

Same here bro. My grandma and grandpa passed away a month apart, about 2-3 years ago. More times I hear this song more I will cry I guess.

[@user-174a3byt7]

L bozo 😂😂😂 only in ohio am i right 😉

[@mrgagarin4384]

A new wave of sad emotional videos, asked SpiritBox, this song/video so good , and beautiful.

[@KidKat__]

This song made me have to sit back and gather myself again. It's been four years to the day since I lost my grandpa. Meant the world to me. This destroyed me alright, emotionally. Amazing song though, really shows their dedication to making whatever the fuck they want, and making it work. Huge talent, much respect.

[@ryry8552]

Dude I had the same exact reaction! Then I listened with lyrics and I found myself a sobbing mess about losing marriage and family. Absolute musical genius this band 🖤🤘💔

[@waynevolkov6114]

I'm just hearing this now, this is insanely good I can't believe Tom barber can do this style.

[@amelia1722]

this song makes me ✨big sad✨ edit: coming up on three years without my dad so this shit hits hard

[@holymorphzephyr5989]

I can understand your pain. The loss of a loved one is always hard. My mother died when I was 13, I'm 27 now, and the pain is still there. The part that hit home for me was when the man was hugging what he thought was his wife/daughter.

[@shuffletoexpress123]

this really hits me too, my mother in law has stage 4 and everyday she gets worse. first time i heard this song i was at work... had to really hold back the water works :(

[@aaradicatin12]

I lost my dad when I was 10 in 2014. He only fought stomach cancer for three months, but everyday after those three months, I wished I used that time better with him :( It's insane how fast time has gone and how little the regret has changed at all.

[@ashleyosenbach5633]

April is the 3 years for losing my dad, hang in there it gets easier. It's tough, it is definitely tough, but life will get better

[@amelia1722]

@@holymorphzephyr5989 I’m sorry for your loss, this song & video is definitely a powerful reminder of the loss of a loved one.

Of all the songs to make me sad and cry, this one, the one i love to listen to does the moment i watch the video

[@lucashouse9117]

This is such an amazing song. Omg the feels.

[@MorganFuse]

I love this song so much, and I cried like a baby when I first got to watch the clip.

[@derekhowe672]

First it was spirit box having me in the feels and now Darko. And both songs are dealing with losing someone. Fuck man. Anyone else crying? No?

[@Knowonselph]

Every single time I listen to this song, it brings tears. I instantly start thinking of my parents and my kids..

[@PlatinumBlackOut]

Nick: this is the heaviest band I’ve ever heard. Me: 😭 (crying)

[@SaintTrinasTorch]

My grandfathers birthday is on this month, and he passed away from dementia a few years back just shy of his birthday. I might not ever cry, but I’ll be damned if there isn’t a grip on my throat right now. It’s crazy how much you miss someone, and they’re no longer here with you. Amazing track. “Beautiful.”

[@denisb1223]

this song is a masterpiece.

Such a beautiful song that I can definitely relate to. 🤘🏾

[@shankz1328]

Haven´t heard from Darko before and think the songs is quite decent ... but damn when the old man (widower) embraces the ghost, that hit me hard in the feels.

[@reneebear3641]

You know, when Pale Tongue came out, I only expected heavier. But this song really surprised me. It makes me expect some real life from the new album. I’m even more excited than I was, though I would’ve preferred this single being left for the album in favor of another single.

[@reneebear3641]

Never mind, wasn’t expecting that ending. Well, that’s something that someone needed to get out.

[@violasophie4367]

4:12 so true! Great video :)

[@BlaZe-pl4ym]

Damn, Toms cleans are really fucking good.

[@kyledecampos3436]

He’s done another song with cleans well a guest spot look up Tom barber clean vocals and it’s the top sing

Woah did not expect this to hit me this hard in the feels ♥️

[@wessones5548]

For those surprised that Tom is doing cleans, listen to The Alliance by Lorna Shore. Dude can sing

Are you ever going to give us the Termina album Nik?! I need it in my life right now! Darko US's talents are boundless. Incredible job Mr. Barber!

I know I'm a little late with discovering this band but I really become speechless while listening to every song because every aspect of their song writing just works so well all together. Great reaction btw Nick 🤙

[@josynavs4736]

This amazing song is pure melodic hardcore 🖤

[@descendng]

A band I think you'd find interesting is Satyr. As for a song to react to by them, I'd recommend either Bird or Picayune. They released these songs around this time last year but I think it'd be cool to hear your thoughts on them, because they're really good!

[@blacklotus2136]

Dude they’re amazing I thought no one else knew of them

[@yellowsaurus4895]

Yooo, one of my friends turned me on to those guys the other day. They are ridiculously good. I'd recommend a band called Belmont for some similar vibes as well

[@fjord6984]

Am I the only one that think the vocals slightly remind BMTH's type of style ?

[@dev4965]

i was waiting for this HAHA.

[@kilotron702]

I definitely know now what song I want played at my funeral someday

[@zerozeeros]

I've been busting to see your reaction. It was pure cause you had no indication of what it would be so it was more authentic. The is exactly like Constance. Toms cleans are a mix of Sam, Oli and Chester imo

[@nameus]

Dammit, dude I got goosebumps in one moment Tom start cleans This is what I called talented vocalist
