THE HU interpreted the song and expressed it as generations after generations destroying our mother planet, and our ancestors, through the power of shamanism, has been observing us. So the lyrics are like our ancestors are saying we are watching you, leading yourselves to ruin. Great reaction! Love the pure joy on her face when the song started ❤️

[@patrickbernardy3100]

OMG, THANK you! I've watched a dozen reactions to this video, Leann, and you are the FIRST to really get the point of the narrative. It's basically as you said, we as humans have spent countless generations destroying our beautiful planet collecting gold. The four main members of the band represent the four elements - fire, water, air (electricity), and earth - and they are screaming at this human being to stop upsetting the balance between them. Great cover of a great song, but as an added bonus, an even more thought-provoking and timely message of our 21st Century environmental peril. Love you guys! And Ari, your excitement is so much fun to watch!

[@LEANNxARI]

Excellent summary, thank you Patrick! And thanks for watching!

The chorus that is heard at times says HU, HU and the voices singin are from throat sing.

[@jamescurfman3284]

The Hu must be doing VERY well for themselves. The difference in production value between this music video and Wolf Totem is like night and day. They are still just as amazing and I look forward to more.

[@crhu319]

They are globally famous for good reason and every vocalist in rap.or metal wants to work with them. And they use their fame for THIS ecological message. Total, unshakeable respect.

[@jamescurfman3284]

@@crhu319 Absolutely! :)

[@alanfoster6589]

I've been wondering ever since the Wolf Totem video if they have a commerical or government sponsor.

[@jamescurfman3284]

@@alanfoster6589 That would make sense but I think it has more to do with their Star Wars soundtrack. They EXPLODED with that one! I am glad for them. Just CRAZY awesome! :)

[@alanfoster6589]

@@jamescurfman3284 Could be. I'm just curious. Looks like a Mongolian wrestler (national sport) in the video, so if produced in Ulaan Baatar, video cost a couple of bucks.

The girl with the purple clothe, you are so cute. You made my day. Love your reaction.

[@BlackRose-mh9cz]

Im so happy that you did this reaction!! 😍🤟🏻🖤

[@uzina89]

Gold and garden theme is probably a reference to Mongolian mining industry harming environment.

[@billholder1330]

Or as a metaphor for civilization in general destroying life on the planet.

[@530MAIDU]

Beautiful ladies ...the one with long hair’s interpretation was mine as well. Thanks for posting and sharing your analysis. I absolutely love The HU BAND as well. Stay Safe and Positive. Merry Christmas 2020 🙇🏻‍♀️🎶🎵🔎❤️🇺🇸👏🏽

The thing with the wing is Mongolian Shaman

By the way, Metallica gave The HU a shout out & thumbs up on their cover.

Hello just discovered you all reaction video and absolutely love it. I discovered The HU while I was working at the Exit/In in Nashville. I hope one day you all do a reaction to The Hu Genghis Kahn video.

[@brettl.6831]

This is such a good cover!

[@javkhlanbatsaikhan658]

Thank you for the reaction and discussion of the message too! ❤️

[@robertbuckey6517]

This reminds me of when Johnny Cash covered Hurt. Just like when Johnny did that and made the song his own, The Hu did so with Sad But True.

[@crystalscolza1663]

I saw somebody in another comment section who speaks Mongolian say that it just happened to work out perfectly. The iambic pentameter is almost exact when they switch it over to Mongolian

[@snowwhite5865]

Loveeew😂❤❤❤

[@buyannemekhchimeddorj]

"Hey, hey keep hating... I don't actually need you", says the Planet 😅

[@punkweb]

The guy with the wings is a Mongolian Shaman

[@punkweb]

Also yeah he dies like 3 times, the shaman leads him back into life and he goes back. After he's spent two lifetimes destroying the world he lives in agony for a lifetime. At the end he dies after watering the ground and life begins to spring there again.

[@Red-Brick-Dream]

10:43 Isn't greed the inner evil of mankind ? Sad but true ...

[@sachadavaadorj37]

Awesome !

[@j.f.fisher5318]

That was epic :)

[@spinalobifida]

The Hu sang the song word for word in English sentence structure like Metallica does. Mongolians wouldn't understand it because their sentence structure are different.

[@sainaab4285]

She got the points of understanding video. If she got little bit deeper thought she got the vision of what is going on in this world.

[@ziegenleiche]

The wings represent Tengri; the sky god of the ancient indigenous faith of Mongolia (Tengrism). You are on the ball about your interpretation, I think. It is a running theme in their music, as is the death of tradition and culture.

[@LEANNxARI]

Thank you for the info! This video and it's message is so incredible. Thanks for watching!

[@johnsmithfrombackeast7376]

Love The Hu!

[@Pirustae]

Girls, pause the music and THEN comment.

[@deanmorton6537]

I recently had an epiphany about the song and music video. What if the human in the video was being influenced into greed, and the influencers were the band playing? Think about it, "I'm your dreams, make you real. I'm your eyes when you must steal. I'm your pain when you can't feel." I'm, I'm, I'm, etc. The band seems to represent the dark forces influencing the human in the garden. And at one moment, they were saying those lyrics straight up to him while he was dead for a minute. Oh, the winged drummer entity is likely another elemental being of death and rebirth. And it's interesting because at the video intro, they were walking into presence, as if by being summoned to do their nasty work on the human. The song also fits with this because it's basically the dark side of living. The band represent that dark side, the human is the victim, and the drummer is a version of death that repeats the cycle. It's ALL CONNECTED! (edit: it's likely that the death drummer is the cause of it all!)

[@LEANNxARI]

Very interesting points!! Thanks for sharing, that does seem to fit.

[@imcrazedandconfused]

If you are into this style metal, Ari, you should have a very close look to the albums of Tengger Cavalry (Tengri is a mongolian god). They were a New York based mongolian folk metal band and quite unique and musically very cool. Mongolian themed lyrics etc… I came back to them lately, because The HU is so popular these days and this reminded me of this cool band. Unfortunately they split 2018 and vocalist/frontman Nature G. died in 2019. (Wikipedia is not actual in this regard)

[@LEANNxARI]

Oh that's awesome! Thanks for letting me know, I'll def check them out 😊

[@milwsdl39]

[@EA-bb6yi]

nice reaction

[@spinalobifida]

The crow noticed his greed and made him older so the guy could reincarnate and try again and the guy couldn't get it right and the tree dies from neglect. My take on it

[@xJamesLaughx]

Pretty good take and for the most part on point. Basically it has the message talking about how greed of man is destroying the environment and by the time the man realizes this it is way to late to save it.

[@ichkaodko7020]

react to wondha mountain's divine madness. one of you will love it as much as one of you likes the hu.

[@ganburgedtseren1897]

The shaman says that the sad for humanity is human greed is destroying the earth and you know it very well but you do not want to think about it. If you still continued, it will be true a time will come to dig your grave holes because you have set already the bases of dooms of the earth within the few years

[@LEANNxARI]

Such a deep message. Thanks for sharing and thanks for watching!

[@mn6334]

This song was released a couple of hours after Spiritbox released Constance

[@crhu319]

Mongolians are a mix of Buddhist and animist beliefs and some Christian influence too. You understand perfectly what this was saying, yes it's reincarnation until you figure out what you did wrong which is very Buddhist. Better than most reviewers. Glad you dug up the lyrics.

[@LEANNxARI]

Amazing, such a great message! Thanks for watching!

[@Crofil]

this band is awesome :) great react, have you checked out a band called Ne Obliviscaris? i recommend the vid "Ne Obliviscaris - And Plague Flowers the Kaleidoscope live in Colorado 2016"

Fantastic U R The Best reaction!! and the only one pay attention the message!!! Buu is a Mongolian death spirit, bring humans again and again to the Earth, so at the end human understand but it is too late... Human destroy nature for material resources.. And that destroy ourselves.
