Music Teacher REACTS TO Architects "Dead Butterflies" | Music Shed

[@dang2564]

I’m telling you, you HAVE to listen to Gone With the Wind by Architects. It was written by their former lead guitarist, the late Tom Searle, after he came to the realization that he was going to die from his cancer diagnosis. It is one of the most angst-ridden and emotionally filled metalcore songs of all time and the vocals by Sam on the track are his best IMO.

[@iamafrenziedgremlin]

This and followed with their song Doomsday

[@dang2564]

@@iamafrenziedgremlin and then hereafter after that. Those songs all in a row tell one of the saddest stories in music history in such a profound way.

Going for Gone with the Wind instead of Memento Mori?

[@Coriole567]

Architects are seriously top tier. Now that you have done songs from their 2 most recent works, you should check out either Naysayer or Gone with the wind to really see how their sound has progressed since their heavier days. (Also memento mori if you want to cry)

[@benturtl9076]

I'd love Deathwish too

And I need to comment one more thing: I LOVE when you get inspired by the song and let it dominates you, it's gorgeous!

[@The73rdSecret]

It is!!!

[@jordanstates9050]

I just want to let you know that you inspired me to pick up and instrument for the first time since I was a kid. I went and bought a used keyboard for like $30 on Craigslist. I have been practicing for an hour everyday for 2 weeks. It has brought me such joy and appreciation for what musicians do.

[@MusicShed]

Jordan, good for you! You made my day brother.

[@ericdooley184]

Dude, when you can listen to a song for the first time and play the melody the way you do on your keyboard brings chills and tears! I could listen all day to you covering songs like these the way you played at the end of this video! Keep Em Coming!!!

[@iMattLewis]

More Architects to react to: 1. Doomsday (both versions) 2. Momento Mori 3. Hollow Crown 4. Even if you win, you’re still a rat 5. The entire album ‘All Our Gods Have Abandoned Us’

[@theplatypus104]

I double Momento Mori, crazy song

[@acidblasta]

as a trumpet player in another life time the horn line in the chorus speaks to me on a spiritual level.

[@itsbunch]

10:45-11:45 should definitely be expanded into a full song. I would pay so much money for that sheet music. That was beautiful. Thank you for sharing!

[@lilgianfry]

Please do a reaction to Silence speaks by While she sleeps. Oli Sykes from Bring me the horizon is in it.

[@terryorris6479]

Yes. Do it. While she sleeps is completely self made, their own label, makes them that much better

Ooh! If you liked this, you’d love Bad Omens’ latest album. Also, thanks for the food ASMR to start the video, followed by some insane piano skills!

[@EwzyKun]

10:45 that was so beautiful

[@RyanCogar]

For real as a guitarist I am always jealous of the way pianists just flow & seem to have very natural feel to their instrument. The chord change down & then away it goes...was very lovely stuff.

[@bravomikefox5449]

I love how much David understands the nuances of what make metal today so great. I still maintain that metal has everything anyone could possibly want in music. These are the “classic composers” of our day.

[@Swollen_Goat]

You reaaaaaalllly need to do gone with the wind AND doomsday. Both not either

[@iamafrenziedgremlin]

Yeah react to both and honestly those two songs should be one episode starting with gone with the wind THEN doomsday after as the story is so tragic and musically moving especially given the back story of the passing of one of their fellow band mates. Please, you can truly feel musically and lyrically the pain associated with the topics they sing about. Have the lyrics pulled up at the time too. It’ll help especially given the aggressive vocal on the track.

[@Vanessa-uf2rp]

these belong to my favourite architects songs, yes please!

[@Udu86922]

Architects are fantastic. Been one of my favorites for a long time, glad you're enjoying them. Would love to see some Sleep Token reactions (Jaws, The Night Does Not Belong To God, Dark Signs...hell, ANY of their songs). Enjoy the videos!

[@dang2564]

Doomsday and Hereafter are excellent tracks by Architects that I seriously suggest you react to as well. Doomsday is the last song that Tom Searle got to work on with them before his passing and the majority was written by his twin brother Dan (the drummer). Doomsday is about Tom dying way too young. Hereafter, also written by Dan, is about finally trying to come to terms with Tom’s death and wondering how to move on “hereafter.” It might be my favorite Architects song because of the structure of the song and all of the musical elements within it. The emotion, the angst, and the beauty of these songs is NEXT LEVEL.

[@psaxon2320]

[@shemarnelson7432]

I'm a little late to seeing this video and a little late to finding this song. Seeing your reaction be so genuine and the fact that you were so moved by the song, that it made you play something so beautiful at the end made me instantly subscribe to you. Please keep up the good work and if you're looking for another beautiful, yet heavy recommendation, I STRONGLY urge you to review "Three Fountains" by August Burns Red. That song is full of raw emotion and I hope and think it would have same effect on you. Thank you for being one of the people who show what music is all about and continuing to inspire others, such as myself, on our musical journeys. Peace and love brother!

[@ali3ghouse292]

Really interesting you picked out the drummer! Dan who is the drummer took over lead songwriting for the band after Tom Searle, his twin brother and guitarist for Architects sadly died from skin cancer in 2016. Now you say it, it would make sense why the song parts are built around the drums; the other major writer is Josh Middleton, guitarist, who joined after Tom’s death. Have watched all your Architects videos as a fan, amazing that you can just pick out the chords and melody and transfer it to piano immediately. Very (jealously) impressed. And yes, Sam is an excellent singer 😁

[@Kjertinge]

Man I’m happy this channel. You are aloooot more fun and funnier to listen to then a lot of the other reactors. (Not to bash them in anyway) but I like how you know your stuff but also have fun with it. As a viewer it’s way more fun to listen to. Subbed!!!

You should check out some ERRA - Divisionary or Snowblood!

YOU ARE ALL YOU NEED - While she Sleeps

[@kalahensley4373]

I’d love to see you covering more artists like this! Like Counterparts! I’ve seen em live probably 25 times, they’re a great group of guys. Counterparts was supposed to tour with Architects the year that Tom Searle passed, so it was understandably (and unfortunately) cancelled.

[@ashmototherapy]

Check out Architects "hollow crown" Everytime I listen to it I'm so impressed it's mostly high hat, some side snare drum and some bass drum for half the fucking song. To stay that steady and gentle on drums with some keyboard low in the background and singing, I mean, you can't fuck it up, you have to be solid. Overall amazing and impressive band. And they tear at our heart strings because a lot of their music was written by a man facing death for years. Every song gets me right in the fucking feels thinking about that dude. RIP Tom..

If you're still looking to expand your search to some other bands, there are a few I could suggest that I think you would find to be very interesting to listen to. The top three in a similar vein to Architects would be: STARSET - (I would start with their song called "Manifest.") Celldweller - (I would start with their song called "New Elysium.") IMMINENCE - (I would start with their song called "Infectious.")

[@g3rehmann718]

You should def check out "Killswitch Engage" and/or "Light the Torch" with Howard Jones on vocals. Amazing singer, great melodies. The End of Heartache, Rose of Sharyn, My Curse, etc.

[@dallasyarbrough]

do room 138 by asking Alexandria, it has a story behind it that brings the emotion out of it and shows the singer, Danny, brings to the song!

[@sxfstrummer]

Please react to "gone with the wind" by them. Incredibly emotional song. Tom (brother of the drummer) got diagnosed with skin cancer and he wrote this song along with the album knowing he was going to die. And this song is pretty much how he dealt with it. Love this band so much. RIP Tom.

[@Amarthie]

Should also do Meteor by Architects too. Such a class band

[@Timmysk8er89]

This song makes me cry every time, and when u went mad on the piano. Tears. If you want another pure emotion like this one I'd recommend Demon King by Brand Of Sacrifice. They're only a small band so not many people will request them, but I seriously think you should check them out

You need to react to some dayseeker, like crooked soul would be my favorite. Please!

[@jakekilpatrick4956]

[@Alex_Intense]

Have spent some time here by watching your reactions to heavy songs. The feelings you show are so sincere and the piano improvisation at the end of the video are very inspiring (even enough to drop some tears ;) almost like I had to listen to the song 1st time again. Btw, their song "Black lungs" is also very cool, so you can check it out. Music rhythm and overall dynamics are so strong as you are at their concert. As you said in some BMTH reaction video "what else than music can have such uniting moments for the crowd?" It would be nice to see your reactions to the following bands, you might like, too. Easy to mention 5+ songs for each, but will leave at least 1 here: - A Day to Remember - Turn off the Radio; - Starset - Ricochet; - Crown the Empire - Johnny Ringo (there's a kind of a song trilogy starting this story); - Of Mice and Men - Back to Me; - Red - Darkest Part; - Dead by April - I Can't Breathe

[@ShaunNicolella]

This was great! I've never heard them before and will be checking out more. I thought it was The Royal Albert Hall, music performed there seems to bring out the best in artists. Unrelated, I would absolutely love to see your reaction/analysis of Steven Wilson's song Home Invasion/Regret #9. That's one of soooooo many Steven Wilson songs that are such incredible pieces of music that he has written and produced. If you have not heard of him, please check him out! He is involved with many other projects but most known as the front man for Porcupine Tree which I became addicted to when I discovered them in mid 2000s. I think you will really enjoy. The live in Tilburg performance of 'Anesthetize' is a masterpiece and one of the best live performances of a song from a band that I have ever seen. Phenomenal! Have a great day David!
