Skynd - 'Columbine' (Review/Reaction Video)

Columbine, super-sensitive subject but a very well done video portraying that day.
This woman is so fucking twisted but so fucking creative and artistic about it! I absolutely love it.
Enjoy!

Hands down amazing video... being in high school when this happened this event shook the foundation of the country and opened eyes ...nothing like this had ever happened before and alot of lives were lost because they had no idea how to respond or that this was even possible

[@suctioncupman4744]

It didn't open eyes cause we still have school shootings happen

[@SoulPlayer55]

Would love to see more Skynd on this channel! I'm also a true crime junkie!

[@SemiCharmer]

True Crime is the best! I'll be checking out more, for sure!

I was a Unitarian youth advisor in Boulder, and we had a youth conference the week before Columbine, with kids from all over Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, and New Mexico. One of the youth there went to Columbine - she wasn't hurt, but a lot of the kids knew others at Columbine. We had a large goth contingent, and a lot of otherwise non-mainstream youth. I talked with them a lot. One of the worst things in the aftermath was the treatment the goth kids got. The schools treated them horribly. One of the saddest things was that some of the goth kids found other students treating them more nicely, which at first they thought was great, until they realized that the nice treatment was not not selfless - it was from their peers who thought they might not be killed if they were friendly. So fucked up. This was hard to watch, but thank you.

[@SemiCharmer]

Oh wow. See. I was way too young to know the true effects and aftermath of this. Thanks for sharing!! It's super sad to even think that people were scared of goth kids like that and that's why they were treated "nicely", not nicely out of the kindness of their hearts. Pretty shitty and fucked up to hear shit like this. Thanks for watching, buddy.

It's a strange feeling to hear such a good song while being told a terrifying true story. And in an artistic and visually creative way. I like your video. I identified with your reaction. Greetings from Mexico. btw React to Jim Jones or Tyler Hadley who are also artistic gems. And musically Ne Obliviscaris - Intra Venus would be very good for your channel. xoxo

[@SemiCharmer]

I'm definitely going to be checking out more of her stuff! Thanks for the greetings. Hope everything is well down there! 🖤

[@willowpiano]

get up ready mark shoot how many victims is we 'bout to lose?

[@demolitionman5003]

She's trying to process that videos crazyness at the end you can tell it hit her hard!! Awesome song BTW

[@Saintphoenix86]

The how many vitcims line is "how many victims are we bout to lose" and its not her thats bill who sings that part

[@SemiCharmer]

My bad, yo! Still super eerie!! Thanks for the correction. 🖤

[@smward87]

Also Bill is the face on the computer. So just like SKYND herself hanging out in the background of the video being omnipresent the entire time, Bill is as well.

[@rybo0072]

Get up ready mark shoot how many victims is we gonna lose. Get up ready mark shoot how many victims how many victims is the lyrics in the chorus

[@wolfhawk1999]

They asked Manson what he would have said to them. He said, "Nothing. I would have listened." I was in middle school when this happened, I believe. I remember the lockdowns and the craziness. This video fucked me up when I first saw it. Great song tho

[@SemiCharmer]

Yeah. Super heavy song. I think I saw a documentary on it and an interview with Manson about it. It's super sad!

[@JMulvy]

SKYND is what is known as "true crime industrial" music. What I love about SKYND is that they do not try to glorify anything, they just use the case evidence as it stands and try to give you a real feel for the horror these people went through. Originally, SKYND was a duo. There was the female vocalist "Skynd", the male instrumentalist (wears all black, hoodie & mask) "Father". Now "TallyHo!" does all of their videos. In all of them Skynd takes on one of three forms at any given time, representing the silent watcher, the victim, or the aftermath. In that last scene her makeup and mask was designed to look like a shotgun blast. All of the lyrics are pulled from case files, here they are directly from the home videos Harris and Klebold made leading up to the shooting. Bill $aber's part is "Get up, ready, mark, shoot. How many victims is we 'bout to lose?" Their more recent videos are very artistically presented. Michelle Carter, Jim Jones, Chris Wattts are all great songs.

[@AshokaMazda]

Unsettling as fk. And beautifully dark. Love Skynd!

[@bolognawilson3252]

I wonder if the mask she ware in the end was suppose to be a image of shooters when they shot them self in the face with the shotgun. Like showing what happen to them.

[@SemiCharmer]

An interesting take, I didn't even think about that.

[@user-jc4wd4us7k]

When I listen to the songs about the Columbine tragedy again, it gives me goosebumps(how terrible a tragedy it was through the eyes of students)

[@imcrazedandconfused]

Reminds me of "This is America" by Childish Gambino. If you missed that one, immediately fill this gap.

[@DawnOfMutilation]

I was thinking more of my hs-live than that shit -i would not even call it a song imho. And i would be one of the guys doing the action. - 20 years ago that would be .. but sorry, comparing this to the gambino song ? no, not even close mate..you have nooo idea...

[@havoc9206]

well done for not having an awful sound file like the rest

[@Philosophy42DaysUth]

I understand wanting to like music with horrible, unhealthy messages because it sounds good or the singer's attractive or charismatic. But I wouldn't get on the comments for a potato chip commercial and say "it is great how delicious this product is and it is so healthy for you. I f-ing love that they made these chips so f-ing good for you!"

[@seangriffin8514]

I absolutely love the way, that you end up having zero sympathy for the shooters and all the sympathy for the victims, good job

[@marisamorden161]

It’s how many victims is we bout to lose. Her real name is Marina Ortega. If you paid attention the picture on the computer screen in the video is bill saber

[@kieshamoore2263]

I was in 8th grade when this happened I remember it being announced over our system and we watched it on the news the rest of the day so sad

[@MakotoKinoSailorJupiter2020]

What’s really sad not much has changed. They still ignore the warning signs and red flags about the shooters till it’s too late. And when they address what happened, blame guns, violent video games, music, etc, but never what’s going on at home, at school, in the shooter’s head, or law enforcement dropping the ball.

[@DenverNinjaGaming]

Colorado local here!

[@BrandonP8176]

[@oksana1508]

She so great!!! ))

[@Arianwubbe]

Just stumbled upon your Blasphemian reaction and afterwards I checked this one to see if you have a soul. I'm comforted, hahaha.

[@heathert5455]

I was 11 years old when the tragedy happened. It actually affected how school was ran for us and I lived in Michigan at the time. I still believe that Columbine was the inspiration for all the school shooters after this event.

[@SemiCharmer]

I do too, girl... It's such a sad thing and such a problem in this country...

[@DF-tv8jb]

Decapitation fornication or Ere the crimson dawn by infant annihilator?

[@goonbob27]

SKYND

[@piercesamwcula]

Paleface - curse us. Please please please react it is such a heavy banger and glad to hear you are feeling better being sick sucks

[@lucicifarelli1637]

Get up ready mark and shoot how many victims is we about to lose

[@erichellmann3116]

Lol... I did the exact same thing.. even said "Woof"

[@anzamoni]

She's been around as Skynd for 3 years I think, but she has a "main" singing career, and also is a motorsports enthusiast and races as well, She's a spokesperson for Porsche, or representative, something like that lol. She's also from Switzerland, Father I believe is the one from Australia, which was where she met him before forming the group. Her "normal" pop soulful stuff is good too tho, a mix of covers and originals. Definitely check out Jim Jones tho if you haven't, that was the first song/vid from them I saw, and that one still just messes me inside everytime I watch that video, that MV is my favorite, with how it was shot, very artistic, more tame then the others but still as poignant. I've read her say that song affected her the most too, and was hard to do, and you can see it in her face during the MV.

[@evaearthling]

SKYND is not only HER, there's the Father and the rest of the Band.

[@anzamoni]

@@evaearthling yes Skynd is used to collectively call the Duo, other members are usually fillers, as Father normally takes care of all instrumentals in studio, but she is also referred to as Skynd and He Father during interviews. "Formed of SKYND (vocals) and “Father” (producer/multi-instrumentalist)"

[@SemiCharmer]

This is quite interesting. I didn't do my research and am quite interested to know more. I definitely will check more out cuz I love it!

[@anzamoni]

@@SemiCharmer definitely doesn't hurt to research the song titles before listening, you'll be able to notice all the little details they add in the videos that most would probably wouldn't think anything of before

[@taylorcoyle33]

How can I find her “normal” stuff?

[@vincentvalentine9936]

Omg Nice vídeo Nice music

[@imcrazedandconfused]

You are into serial killers? Watch Spiritbox - Bleach Bath. Inspired by Ted Bundy. A f*cking awesome song and video. You will not regret.

[@SemiCharmer]

Woof! I love me some Spiritbox and Ted Bundy is my favorite serial killer. As fucked up as that sounds, but yes. It's true. 😆
