PSYCHOTHERAPIST REACTS to Staind- It's Been Awhile

[@HOPEof95]

Haven't heard this song since my teenage years. Thank you to the person who requested this

[@Belladonna313]

Same!!! Takes me right back

[@bchipper3932]

Your kidding me? I listen to them everyday. They have a new song and a new album coming soon

[@Mr.character.shuaib2]

So far away is another god song as well by him

[@tommywoodfin1332]

Went through 10 weeks of rehab almost 4 years ago and this song was played alot. It spoke to all of us then and is still a reminder of dark times.

[@TheREIstory]

Congrats for making it through ❤️

[@j-riz7513]

This song is actually about a heroin addiction Aaron went through . It’s subliminal . It’s not about a relationship with a woman, but seems it. Staind was so underrated. Always been my favorite since the beginning.

[@guillaumejuillard8258]

I really wish he understood this...

[@damarcuscolfer1485]

Where did you hear that?

[@JimG89887]

@@damarcuscolfer1485Pretty sure Aaron’s talked about it many, many times.

[@NinaWitham]

Love Staind "Right Here" is my #1 & "Its Been Awhile" my #2nd! Loving it!

[@dirtysmity]

the more Staind you do.....the more I come back and watch...."epiphany" "spleen" "Excess Baggage" "me" "you" "just go" to name a few...not many reactors react to Staind and there needs to be more people listening to Staind's music....Staind's music helped me thru the hardest thing in life i ever had to go thru....Aarons voice is soo soothing even when he screams...After going thur what I went thru Break The Cycle was repeat cd in my car and house for months....Stainds music has been my therapy since 96, but in 02 it saved me....also a lot of people think this song is about a relationship, and the video makes you think this, but it has more to do with his addiction.

[@cariann2220]

This song always spoke to me, my dad was a heroin addict who died when I was 13, a few short years later I was a heroin addict myself. Clean now for nearly 10 years, the line I cannot blame this on my father he did the best he could for me is my favorite because even though I followed his footsteps early on I never blamed him for it, it was me. He was a wonderful father to me, I had no clue he was an addict until he was gone.

[@stimuncy]

Today I'm 8 months and 11 days sober from cocaine! This song has gotten me through a lot

[@_HolyHell_]

CONGRATS!!! That is so awesome :)

[@BulletAgario]

Congrats! Hope you’re on your way to 2 years of sobriety :)

[@JustMe-kq4ik]

What a great song. I guess you can relate it to being in a relationship but its actually a song about addiction and his journey now being in recovery. Sobriety is the new high!

[@stephanielewis3261]

Journaling is a good thing, but when people find them and read them makes you not want too anymore. I've had that happen and I haven't been able to pick it back up since. I wish I could be its impossible not to think about someone finding it.

[@donoharm510]

Me too. It sucked. Like, why would you do that? It's hard to know people read your most personal feelings and thoughts. Especially if they use it to hurt you. Betrayal.

[@_Livid_]

Aaron Lewis is the lead singer of Staind. His now doing solo tours, and writing songs solo. Has some really good ones.

[@joekru3]

Need more of the general 'rock' genre on this channel. Love this song, great video!

[@buckrussell8832]

Such a phenomenal and underrated band. Really hope to see more of them on the channel! I would recommend the song Zoe Jane next by Staind.

[@tommywoodfin1332]

The lead singer is Aaron Lewis, he has his own catalog of powerful hits including "Mama; I Lost it All; and Sinner. Definitely worth a listen.🤘🤘🤘

[@jasonmcewen436]

Thank you for your insights during this reaction. In the midst of writing to process, regain memory and learn to let go. Your timing is impeccable. Cheers...

[@TierraSanea87]

Omg, I used to LOVE this song when I was younger. I haven't listened to it in a while so this was great. 😌✨

[@_lady_bugz_]

Great song choice Rhi! 💐 I haven’t heard this in a long time but I use to play it on repeat in my teens.

[@themurderhornet180]

I love that you reacted to this. Staind is an amazing band and helped out a lot of people get through many problems in their lives.

[@jenniferbradley924]

I'm starting school in August to be come a therapist and I want to focus on drug and alcohol addiction! SO GLAD I found you channel!

[@Chris-rh9ej]

Staind’s lead singers name is Aaron Lewis. He is a solo artist now

[@JhinderEquality]

Something To Remind You is my #1 Staind song, it'll be played at my funeral.

[@daniellaa8688]

Love this song. Takes me back to the days when I was a young teenager and life seemed so hard...

[@earlymourning5745]

growing up I listened to these guys when I was 9 years old with my dad when my mother passed away and they have always stuck with me

[@ix-badsport-xix7433]

You should definitely check out more of Staind content! So many hidden gems and hits they had across all of their albums. “Home” from their Dysfunction album is one I recommend.

[@jamesnorthup7717]

Aaron Lewis is great whether he's singing with Staind or his country stuff or solo acoustic stuff, always good 👍

[@jeffball6289]

Your commentary really touched me. Thank you.

[@bacon_lover_9352]

Hey man love the videos. It’s so cool to see someone from a different generation appreciate the music of this era. I would love to see you react to the song “new chains, same shackles” by Suicide boys, your professional input on the lyrics you cover genuinely help me put my own thoughts into perspective. Keep it up!❤️

[@_HolyHell_]

I love this song, it’s such a throwback!!! Thank you, Rhi!!! ❤

[@livinginwestgeorgia5679]

Aaron Lewis from Staind has amazing content as a solo artist too!

[@Moose96080]

If you never heard this song you must live under a rock literally

[@guillaumejuillard8258]

I really agree with this haha

[@jasongalloway9582]

I'm new to your channel, but I'm loving your content. Mental health has been a journey for me. Nearly 25 years so far. I've had some tremendous highs, and some lows that absolutely put me on my knees. Staind helped me get through some of my darkest days. Aaron Lewis' lyrics are so honest and vulnerable. This song is good, but there are others that hit so much harder for me, personally. Whether you react to them or not, I think you'd really enjoy Epiphany, Outside, So Far Away, and For You. There are others, but those in particular are powerful in my opinion. I'm glad you're doing these reactions. You're making mental health and therapy more palatable for a lot of people with your channel. There's so much stigma, and so many misconceptions about what therapy actually is. You're exposing thousands of people to concepts and truths they may otherwise never know about. I think it's fantastic. Keep up the good work👍

[@joshpurp6477]

Your not just reacting to these videos your helping me outta dark places in my life I lost 6 people in my family in a year and got cheated on with a girl I was with 7 years im trying to find myself again thank you for helping me on that mission brotha

[@rickeisharobinson8687]

This is my favorite rock group and Song my Staind. Try listening to Staind "For You " and "Outside". Also DMX "Slippin " and "In the Air"

[@tammymellies105]

I really enjoy your reactions to these songs. Thank you

[@livinginwestgeorgia5679]

Always one of my favorites!! His concerts are awesome!!!

[@lucidxchrist2133]

The wild part is if you heard the lead singer Aaron now. He still has that same iconic voice all these years later! To about aging well

[@Justgambleit]

Crazy thing he wrote this song on a whim as he went live on stage one day and just started making lyrics as he went. Sounded so natural too.

[@dustinsmith3235]

You are thinking of the song Outside. This song he has had for years. At his shows he talks about before he was famous and doing gigs, he would play this song between covers and people would walk out.

[@Justgambleit]

@@dustinsmith3235 ah got it! Mistaken it lol

[@TheREIstory]

Oh man I love this song so much. Happy to see you break it down!

[@BC-ui9yt]

A few years back, I was talking to a (much) younger buddy. He said this song sucks. I remembered the line "been a while since I've fucked up just like I always do", and thought.... in 20 or 30 years, you'll think differently.

[@keithtobin2354]

The relationship you keep referring to in this is his addiction to heroine. The candle, the taste, making it all go away... it's his ode to the drug

[@calliewall6256]

Love this song!!! Omg takes me back to right in the middle of my using years and I felt this song so hard. Awesome awesome album

[@JLC1987]

Another great song with a great message is "Ghost" by Badflower.

I know you probably have a lot of suggests and probably wont do it but you should check out Invent Animate - The Sun Sleeps, As If It Never Was [Official Music Video]

[@bchipper3932]

I’m an Stainds biggest fan. And after 12 years they have a new single and a new album coming!

[@Titus1nine]

Pease please could you try this experiment in a video: Listen to the Staind song "Break" off Tormented. Its a heavy metal song from their early days. Hang in there and pay attention to the lyrics. Then listen to "So Far Away" by Staind. Wow!!! "So Far Away" is already an amazing song but it will give you chills when you compare the 2 and see how far he came. With new music coming soon for the first time in over a decade it would be a good idea to get a head start on their music. They've had 5 top 5 albums. 😮

[@cummingsquirrel]

Staind has some more amazing songs you should check out. Also Creed still holds up nicely to this day

[@guillaumejuillard8258]

Nutshell by alice in chains, studio version. If you haven't listened it's one of the greatest songs of all time! Quite sad though

[@allenshaffer4638]

For some reason I remember this song being about his family dying in a car crash. A wife and a child. I wouldn’t swear by it but if that’s the case it makes sense.
