[@DenyThisFlesh]

That riff is so good. Courtney's vocals are incredible as always. I wish we could hear Josh doing some more harmonies with with her though. I know he's there in some spots but it's pushed into the background a lot of the time and I'd like to hear him more. I'm hoping they have some of that on the EP.

[@Eagles94]

I think it would ruin spiritbox's signature sound. It would sound too much like as I lay dying if he threw down vocals. Just let it be. If you want to hear his vocals listen to as I lay dying's last album.

[@SavageBambi]

He does live in concert always

[@jamjox9922]

@@Eagles94 Josh does Sam Carter's part from the song "Yellow Jacket" and it sounds fine. Josh wasn't AILD, he was just a good ingredient. Spiritbox has always changed it up as they see fit and I hope they keep him and let him add his own spice to some songs; I think he has good chemistry with the band.

[@cecilkeith1951]

There's a live version from a show recently and you can hear his harmonies.

[@MellowMediaDesign]

This latest tour has shown some of what he can do for Spiritbox, they really need a song where he can stretch his wings a bit. Every time I hear him, I just want more. Just like Jinjer and Spiritbox.

This is a top 5 spiritbox track. One of my favorite bands right now. Now they do different track from time to time but this should be their signature sound that sums up what the band is about.

[@Scared_potato_]

Her voice is so cool. Just hearing it made me close my eyes and imagine Nik singing this song, im melting.

[@THEJustinOfAllTime]

I found Spiritbox because of Nik WAY back when his reaction to Circle with Me came out, and they've been my favorite band since. Their music has gotten me through a lot of tough times, and in a way I owe that all to Nik! So I guess this dumb little comment that will get lost amongst the others is to thank Nik on behalf of all of us for being the one that brings so much music to the forefront that we wouldn't have otherwise heard! So, thanks man :)

[@marianandnorbert]

I also found them through nik, on his heaviest drop C1 riffs for the pitch dropped part of blessed be

[@Infernoblade1010]

Me too! Wasn't too into circle originally, but after a few plays it HIT!!! LOVE SPIRITBOX!!!!

[@haikalhasni4771]

Me too. I discovered them because of his reaction

[@THEJustinOfAllTime]

This comment did not get lost among the others, wtf guys. Nik even hearted it 💀💀💀

[@harpy2602]

Nik's reaction to the Holy Roller video is also how I (think) I found them. I remember thinking "no fuckin way SHE's the one screaming this" and he immediately said something like "daaaaamn, courtney, chill out" and i was like "oh... nevermind" and I've loved them ever since LOL (in retrospect, I think I'd heard Perennial in passing on a Discover Weekly playlist the year before, but it never stuck/I never looked into the band more)

[@Nyeusi]

I know a lot of people miss their old style and musical structures, but I really love this new era of them. Some of the formulas might be simple but they hit HARD. It just gets to you. To me this is tied with Circle with Me as their best song

[@TheOfficialDuBsTeC]

I really loved Eternal Blue it was awesome than Rotoscope EP naaah wasnt really the way going I loved Spiritbox for but the new Tracks The Void and Jaded are another step up I guess The new Release will be my new Favorite its sick and Courtneys singing voice really got better and better!

[@snakeeyes9246]

Ever since I found Spiritbox a bit over 2 years ago, I absolutely fell in love with them. And it's crazy to think that this was born from a husband and wife duo.

[@josuastangl7140]

Reminds me a bit of Blessed Be, another one of my favorites from them, maybe give that one a listen

[@pasza_dem]

Go see them live, Spiritbox are so good live! You definitely gonna enjoy their music 187% more.

[@SinApex]

Spiritbox is so sick, and it just keeps getting better and better. Like Courtney's vocals are getting better somehow, just when you think she couldn't get any better, but then the instrumentals are going ham on this too.

[@KumeTheWolf]

[@Reece_Hart]

The second I heard that main riff I knew Nik was going to love it

[@egp014]

I love how Nik understands how overly saturated the music reaction scene has become, so he justs does his own thing when listening to a new song for the first time, incorporating his own talent into the reaction, trying to figure out the guitar riffs and chord progression by ear, even throwing his own improvised guitar solos. Even if he messes up, it's part of the video because it's his own learning experience captured on camera, which makes it 100% stand out from the rest reactors

[@ЗатишнийНазарій]

Banger song!!! Was waiting for you to react, and the 7:15 addition was like a chef`s kiss. Awesome song and video, Nik!

[@tomdanks8714]

What Spiritbox does so well and what so many bands fail to do is hammer home that money riff. Keep bringing it back man.

[@minturby5144]

Just hours after this song was released, I got it recommended from youtube, watched it for fun, was blown away by the guitars and then vocals. I'm absolutely in love with this song and this band!

[@MrGuazevedo]

Welcome to the spiritbox fandom. i really recommend that you listen to the past albums such as eternal blue or the self titled they are awesome 😎👍

[@JohnxCrash]

It's impossible not to love Courtney's voice, it's so refreshing and deep at the same time.

[@senseiofsong]

It is nice to know that even a great guitar player like you Nik struggles to emulate the riffs that you like from other bands. The tone from the guitars and bass in this band are incredible.

[@Kotsoros37]

Beautiful track, Courtney's vocals are super unique, and so is Mike's playing, that riff is one of their tops for sure! Sick solo too Nick, hope to see your 2000s metalcore project soon !

[@larshagen9944]

the pure/ambience chorus on the last part with spiritbox is sooo good

[@nolankuffner3573]

Genuinely, the best part of these types of videos is ones like these. Songs that grab Nik in such a way you can tell how much he loves music and playing guitar. It's here where it's a very literal definition of: he's not just remembering guitar or learning guitar, he's literally playing with his guitar and letting that creativity flow in a natural and truly organic way. It's.. amazing to see. Music needs more of it, and I'm so happy he's embraced that part of himself.

At first this song seemed like it was an overhyped nothing burger, but Secret Garden also gave that me that impression on first listen, and now it's a favourite, so I'm hoping this will grow on me too!
