Metal Musician Reacts to Spiritbox | Constance |

[@SpiritboxOfficial]

facts

[@gazzaharris2323]

This is honestly cinematography at its finest, such a compliment to some balanced vocals and range of professionals at work. Hit so deep on a personal level but felt like such a moving song coming from a group I have mountains of respect for. Them feels!!

[@ShinokunXIII]

As Trevor Delaplain wrote under the official video: "This wasn’t one of their heaviest songs. but it was one their HEAVIEST songs!!"

[@VersaFilms]

Always an honour having you react to something we’re apart of. Happy you enjoyed it man ❤️

[@anoceanbetweenus89]

Something I’ve noticed that doesn’t get enough recognition in this song is the ending riffs. The chaotic djenty riffs at the end are constructed in such a way that legitimately felt like If dementia could be a noise/sound....That was it. Like a haunting end to your life but that immediate relief when it’s all said and done with the ambient outdoor was a beautiful touch. That was artistically brilliant and captivated so much emotion.

[@ClarkAd]

The ending is really something else. I’ve always thought about the slow soft ending section after the end riffs as like when a person with dementia has everything come back right before they pass. I don’t know if that’s true or not, but regardless of the actual meaning the ending is really something beautiful. And I’m 3 years late lol

[@colbyscott9822]

It also captured perfectly the feeling of deterioration and mental disintegration.. Just brutal and perfect.

[@Jefafa73]

I did not expect to cry today, yet here I am crying. Both of my grandmothers had Alzheimer's before they passed. I'll never forget going to see my mothers mom, sitting at a table in the nursing home eating lunch with her, and my grandmother looking at my mom and asked, "who are you?". My mom lost it on the spot. I was too young to understand, but I still remember that.

[@tonykolas4402]

Courtney is one of the best vocalists I have ever heard. From her screams to just her pure clean vocals. There’s very few artists on her level if there even is anyone else there.

[@LillyOmega2]

Yeah, off the top of my head, I can only think of four who compare. Amy Lee (see "My Immortal" by Evanescence), Ronnie Radke (see "Brother" by Falling in Reverse), Oliver Sykes (see "One Day The Only Butterflies Left Will Be In Your Chest As You March Towards Your Death" by Bring Me The Horizon), and Chester Bennington (well... everything Linkin Park ever released).

[@tonykolas4402]

@@LillyOmega2 those are 4 fantastic vocalists as well and those are great examples of them showcasing those vocals I love each of those songs and Linkin Park is my personal favorite band of all time.

This may be from a different genre of a band, but Kadeem from Loathe also has a great range of vocal from clean to scream. Kindly check Two-Way Mirror, Is It Really You, and A Sad Cartoon, or dang even the whole "I Let It In and It Took Everything From Me" Album

Prolly a good chance he hasn’t had to go through this with a grandparent yet. I can think of music that before I actually went through what the song was written about, I was totally not phased by it. Once I experienced it though the song took on a totally different perspective and feeling.

[@earthscorcher]

The nasty slowdown showing the fear and confusion that people with dementia and memory loss feel is incredible. The switch from that to the soft outro is what breaks me every time.

[@rolandoesquivel6766]

When I first listened to this song I thought it was so good, but then I actually saw the music video and I discovered it was about people who have dementia and memory loss I cried and had a new found appreciation for this song and the band as well. The way the music captivated the feelings the whole family was feeling was absolutely stunning.

[@onekidneystan4330]

Been waiting for this reaction all day. This song hits the feels so hard and the video contemplates it beautifully

[@KenoxProductions]

This was easily one of the best/most emotional experiences I've had with music this year. Spiritbox does it again.

[@TJ-qo2xu]

I heard this song earlier today and Holy hell it hits HARD! The video hits me even harder, I've lost a family member to Alzheimers so this video is... it hits hard. Bravo again Spiritbox. Another banger and another reason why I'm hooked on this band.

[@captainprobe2083]

Courtney has the cleans of an angel, and the screams of a demon. Goddess.

[@BarstucksCoffee]

I just noticed that pictures of Constance's family members have been slowly disappearing in the house throughout the video first, much earlier before even the furniture is becoming "unrecognisable" for her towards that outro/breakdown. If I wasn't already weeping from the first watch, the implications of that subtle feature just set things off even more.
