Music Teacher Reacts to SPIRITBOX - Constance

[@dmann05]

This song wrecks me. Even after watching so many reactions it still makes me tear up. An amazing song from an amazing band

[@kadriblabali]

Same here, at this point every time I click it or a reaction video of it I already know at least a tear is guaranteed

[@Dark__Thoughts]

Holy Roller is their heaviest song, and Constance is their "heaviest" song. You know the backstory of this? It's a tribute to Courtney's grandmother that died last year, and she could not actually go to her funeral due to the closed borders. Her grandmother wanted her to sing without the extreme vocals on her funeral, so this song a way for her to deal with the loss and the situation. But it is also a tribute to the grandmother, Constance, of the video producer, Dylan, which suffers from Dementia. There's a comment of Dylan's father which cleared up a bit of an issue with the original press release and provided some more info: "Constance is my mom. Today - December 4th is her birthday - she is 88. She is the nurse in the photo. She is in a long term care home and I have not seen her since early March of this year due to COVID-19. Unfortunately the press release is incorrect. Courtney’s grandmother died in 2020 and she wrote the beautiful lyrics to honor her grandmother. Dylan’s grandmother is still living and has been suffering from dementia for several years. Dylan created the video imagery to honor his grandmother and her struggles at this time in her life. Mom goes by Connie to those that know her. Today her proper name of Constance is more meaningful. Dylan from Versa Films is my son. I am thankful to Courtney and Spiritbox for having the courage to tackle a subject like this. Courtney: I am sorry for the loss of your grandmother. I am touched by the comments from everyone that has been through this. As the son, I know how it affects me - everyday seeing your mother not remember you. Counting the times she remembers your name. As parents we don't always see or realize the impact these circumstance and this disease has on the grandchildren. Dylan, Courtney and all the comments show that the pain runs deep within the families. For me it is tough to watch this video. It is harder to live with or to have lived with this in real life. Words cannot begin to describe. Thank you to everyone for their comments as hard as they were to publicly display. It's amazing Dylan. It's amazing Courtney. It's amazing Spiritbox. Constance is proud. I am proud."

The most genuine reaction & comments !!!

[@imcrazedandconfused]

Yes, now you are a part of Spiritbox Army forever, right? We all dropped a tear or two, even the hardest old metal guys. The music, lyrics and video are so on point, at the right time of the year 2020, it hits hard perfectly. Deep emotions. Yes, it is the most surprising and awesome band after Jinjer for me. Getting Constance out after they released the only song without clean singing, right at Christmas time when everybody thinks about family and the past in a year, where many old people passed away because of corona, too, is just unbelievably smart and adorable. Stuff for legends. 2020 was their year, for sure. Let's hope the story continues this great. Always appreciating your reactions. Thank you!

Oh, and I forgot totally (I hope I am not already demented): the new Jinjer video release is absolute dope, possibly the best video visuals from them to date. But you know, their best releases are always the recent and the next one... ("Home Back")
