Savage Reacts! Jinjer - Wallflower

[@Double_J_48629]

there are some tangential coof-lockdown references ; but this is largely all a metaphor the pressure and frustration she feels when the band is waiting on her to finish song lyrics. sorta served as some group therapy. it has been deemed "the introvert's anthem". Two Wolves: An old Cherokee is teaching his grandson about life. “A fight is going on inside me,” he said to the boy. “It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. One is evil - he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.” He continued, “The other is good - he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. The same fight is going on inside you - and inside every other person, too.” The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, “Which wolf will win?” The old Cherokee simply replied, “The one you feed.”

Ha! Funny enough, I called it the introvert's anthem on patreon without even knowing!

@@bennysavagemusic 😅🙌🤘 both the song and the album were already set to be called _Introvert_ (or some variation) , except that just before they sat down to produce the album, Tatiana had happened to learn the word "wallflower" in passing (english is obviously not her first language) and she had a eureka type of moment - "YES, this is the word i want ; i love this word" 😆

Its alot about her resentment for the band preasuring her for lyrics to the music, the art she was doing represented her lyrical art, the guns and bullets represented her getting angry wth them and her throwing the sand represented her giving them her art (lyrics) to make them go away.

Wow almost missed this one. It's a bit about cov2, but mostly about being an introvert (the song's original title), but the video also expresses something else. ...my usual post for this song. In the video, there's a direct correlation to the pressure she felt for procrastinating lyric writing for the album to the last second. Her bandmates pursue her, pressure her. The bullets (sharp words) at them do nothing, but then she sees the wolves on the wall, realizes her defensive anger and her over-reaction in a situation she created ("turning mole hills into mountains"), and throws "her art" (metaphor for the lyrics they want) at the band and they go away. The wolf story (below) is critical to understanding her internal conflicts as displayed by the wolf art. White Wolf, Black Wolf: A Cherokee Story Inside you lives a wolf of white- of patience, peace and love. He is forgiveness, hope and light; a blessing from above. This wolf of white the world will see through all the good he brings to thee. _____This wolf of white, _____this wolf of white, his gifts will set your spirit free. A wolf of black, as dark as night lives next to him inside. He’s hatred, rage, cruelty, fright, intolerance and pride. This wolf of black the world will see through evil actions, evil deeds. _____This wolf of black, _____this wolf of black, his teeth will make your spirit bleed. Within your soul, the two wolves fight to see which one will give directions and will win the right to show you how to live. Which one will win the fight? We need to pay attention; pay close heed! _____Which one will win? _____Which one will win depends upon which one we feed.

WTH. This was great reaction and good lyrical analysis but only couple of likes so far? Anyhow It made me sub for this channel. Keep up the good work.

Good reaction! Editing Ben was much more correct in his lyrical analysis than 1st reaction Ben. Let's give you a sense of the heaviness range of the Wallflowers album. I recommend that you react to Mediator next. It has a cool official music video & an awesome live drum playthrough (sans vocals). The two make a great subject for a double-feature reaction.

Not the 'vid, but an anthem to introverts

Has nothing to do with covid whatsoever.
