[@briangreen9677]

"Gone Away", "Wash It All Away", "The Tragic Truth", "When The Seasons Change", "The Bleeding", and "The Darkness Settles In" are all songs that showcase the band's abilities and struggles. If you're someone who can handle a song written about being in an abusive household, the song "Remember Everything" is a must. FFDP writes music with the intention of reaching into your chest and squeezing your heart. I've met Ivan Moody, the lead singer, a couple of times and he's always been the most honest and sincere guy. The entire band are great guys and have hearts the size of cities. As a Veteran who chewed the sand of both Iraq and Afghanistan, their song "Got Your Six" is, by far, my favorite. I've lost so many of my buddies to their own hand. The struggle is real. If I'm lucky, I'll get to see them all again someday.

[@kevinsneed3951]

First of all, thank you for your service. Thought of enlisting myself. Anyway I love their music. They don’t pull any punches and tells stories of what it’s like to be a soldier. Not just because they’re highly trained badasses, but it shines a light of how society views them. How society also shines a light of hypocrisy. We show the American soldier as heroes, but to the government there just tools. Seen as “expendable” which is morally unacceptable. They talk about stolen valor in ( fake) and the struggles of morality being a soldier, being forced to make decisions that chip away at their souls. Even question themselves as people after all of the things that they done or sacrificed for their country. It’s fucked up, but to have determination to live despite the odds by giving a middle finger the haters saying “I’m a soldier, I fought and suffered.I have killed and done what I had to keep me and my men breathing under orders given to me. I was on the front lines and had to bury my brothers/ sisters who fought along side me for your right to speak and live free. Im a little fucked up sure but I made my path and choices ultimately and I’m going to live with them. This is who I am. If you don’t like it then you can leave snowflakes.” Over all in my opinion it’s bravery incarnate. Something I heavily respect. I know partially, because Ivan was a Marine himself if I recall so he knows how it is.

[@timkeck5665]

I've wound up homeless a few times, and twice an Army buddy I served with over 30 yrs ago pulled me from really bad places and helped me to get the life I have now. Didn't do much for me but gave me a safe place and time to pull myself together. He's my brother, vet's are family forever.

Disabled veteran myself and lost a couple brothers over there. This song tears me up every time I hear it. I would still give up my life to save any of my brothers or my country .

[@karlbecker8775]

FFDP are very vocal supporters of our troops. Another one that hits you in the feels is their cover of the song "Gone away".

This is a great song. I thank you for reacting to it. A few months ago I almost became a part of the 22, but a lot of awesome people saved my life, for which I am grateful. Your reaction was great. I'll be looking forward to seeing more reactions from you in the future.

Charis I’m so glad you did a FFDP song! This band is incredible and they give a lot of money to the veterans that struggling with PTSD. This video was so powerful when it came out they gave all the money raised towards this. They got an award for the awareness.

Thanks to your brother for his service 🙏🏻 Thanks to you for showing real and raw emotion 🙏🏻 subbed

[@danielosheigh4793]

Don't be sorry, this hits everyone like that. It's an important message that everyone needs to hear and see.

[@tysonpeterson6119]

Just over 30+ years ago when I started my career, retired now, I started counting the friends I lost along the way. The count is 31. It does take a toll and I've never met anyone who wasn't changed by their experiences. I suppose if you weren't changed by combat you wouldn't be a real human being. Thank you for doing this so respectfully. It's much appreciated.

[@TheJohmac]

So much is made about the message of this song, and rightfully so. But the musicianship of the song is also incredible. The vocals, the guitar the drums, all great. And that solo is amazing.

[@emmullgn]

Thank you for letting it play all the way. My brother, father, and grandfather all served, and this could have been them. FFDP is a really cool band, they are all about helping the troops.❤ great reaction.

[@matthewgoodA1206]

I really liked what you said about great art being able to transport you to different places. I always felt that way about books- a novel or story is like this little world you can visit. And I believe that music lets people connect to the most powerful of feelings and emotions.

[@Timmy9384]

This video still gets me every time. I often wonder how the guys i served with are doing. Thanks to social media, i was able to connect with a few of them; it's the ones i can't find i think of most. I wish i could get em all of the streets, all of them. The ones who are anyway. Great reaction video, thanks for covering.

[@sammiebray1661]

People talk trash on Five Finger Death Punch, and I admittedly haven’t been a fan for a while now but these guys are massive supporters for active and non active service members. It’s amazing the lengths they go to for our military.

Good song, great message (even tho I'm not an American, doesn't matter, still important worldwide to support Veterans). Don't worry or be embarrassed about crying or not. If it hits you hard, it just means you have an actual heart, and sometimes you can hide it and sometimes not. It hits me hard too. Love your reactions ❣. Another song with a similar message is Ghosts by August Burns Red, highly recommend.

[@NYARMYMP]

Thank you for watching and reacting to it...I've lost many friends to these issues.. Please check out gone away, the bleeding, coming down, wash it away, jekyll and hyde

[@Cavscout5096]

I lost friends, good men, ones I call brothers... I was almost on the streets, as I have TBI (Brain damage), and heavy PTSD... But I was one of a fair number of vets whom had a safety net to have support... I feel for my brothers and sisters who wasn't as lucky.

[@littlefrog30]

I definitely agree with this video after serving multiple tours in coming home, you are forgotten, and your sacrifice means little to those in a society that have become so jaded. They just expect things not doing what people lose to make their freedoms possible.

[@jamescurfman3284]

Thank you for letting the end of the video continue. Respect. :)

[@ArmyEric1-21]

Army Combat Veteran here, I say Combat Veteran because anyone can be a Veteran all you have to do is sign up. I was an 11 Bravo or Army Infantry and I had the luxury to fight in Iraq from 2004-2005. Wasn't a good time to be there because that was when the insurgency started and when they first started introducing IED's. I hate to say that I am still "Hard" or "cold," but you had to be to fight in a war. Still this song is one of the few things that will make me tear up, because I know there are brothers in arms out there that have it worse than I do.

[@BABstudios570]

Coming down by this band is really good for suicide awareness and gone away for military and dealing with survivors guilt, gets me every time

[@Pecos1]

Crying in that moment shows you have a soul, young lady. Never apologize for that. I fought in war three times, the guys I was embedded with searched for HVTs. I was blown up by a car bomb. I stayed in service even after that. I don't regret it one bit, I fought for my country. Even though I suffer with PTSD, TBI, nerve damage and a whole host of other maladies. I have never been more alone than I am now, even though I have a family, and I live with them.

[@Pecos1]

Oh, and laughing is also my coping mechanism.

[@Harv72b]

10:22 to 10:40 - "It's about something bigger than what we are and it's about using your gifts, talents, and abilities to do something that's bigger than you. I think that it's so important to use those things to do things that are impactful and you bring about change in things you're passionate about." You're talking about art there, but you also just described perfectly the ethos that drives the members of our military.

[@CharisSellick]

[@scottdoyle8052]

The last interaction between the homeless vet and the vet in the suit gets everyone who served in combat. The vet in the suit clearly tells the homeless vet “you saved my life, brother.” That line right there… fuuuuuggggg

[@justonjenkins1589]

I appreciate the reaction a lot of younger reactions try and relate to the problems in this video and I doubt most understand what's going on I'm not saying that they don't have their own personal trauma to deal with but what the soldiers went through is absolutely horrible so thank you for being great about it

[@vernhoke7730]

As a veteran who's father served in Vietnam, and have served with veterans of the Korean and Vietnam wars. Who's buried brothers who were killed in the Marine Barracks bombing in Beruit in 1983, one I had served with 5 years prior. I served during the first Gulf War and my job was dealing with the effects of every casualty. At times I sucked so bad I had to take some time to clear my head. Not much because I had an important job to do.

[@lobotomizedjellyfish2171]

My grandfather was a WWII and Korea vet. He never talked about it, but I could always see the pain and grief in his eyes, even as a small child. He would do this thing where he would be talking about something (anything) and in the middle would just stop and stare, then resume. It was several years after he passed that my father told me it was his memories flooding in and consuming him. I pray for a day when this world doesn't require people to solve differences by killing mass amounts of others.

[@angrywindowlicker9442]

Gone away is another really good song that you will need to bring tissues for.

[@chrismadden132]

You bib good. I served the army for 35 years I lost so many friends and then my son was killed the day I was going home from the army. It killed my heart.

[@harolddorsey9179]

For all service vets. THANK YOU

[@Zeraphim]

Swede here. I have not done any military service but i have truly a great respect for all my friends and others that are out and risking their liver for others. This song hits hard even though i'm not american. If i may give a suggestion on another song 1916 with Sabaton. It is a cover of 1916 from Motörhead that takes up the folly of war, it is about the battle of the Somme during WWI and it is very emotional .

[@ingobordewick6480]

I second that request. Maybe listen to both, the original and the cover by Sabaton.

[@Zeraphim]

Could add Price of a mile aswell.

[@DaGobster1]

Five Finger Death Punch - Gone Away It's another emotional one but it's damn good, especially with the music video.

I reenlisted in 06 for active duty, re-upped in 09 to go to Afghanistan...I suffer with this shit every day/ every night. I don't go to counseling...this is my cross to bear

[@joshmiller8663]

It's so sad that so many have forgotten the sacrifice all these men and women have given for our freedom.

[@danielharris5661]

I wasnt in the military, i tried. This song still gets to me, such a tragic story

[@Michael97Moore]

One of my favorite bands

[@TheVas76]

They also made limited edition jerseys and all of the proceeds went to various veterans groups. Also, watch their video for When the Seasons Change. Another excellent song and video. Another tear-jerker, btw. Finally, Coming Down. An insanely powerful song and video. Major trigger warning though.

[@JoshSmith-wo7zw]

There was a guy when I was a kid that whenever a plane flew over he'd go dive behind something and yell take cover. He did it all the way up until the day he died. It was like he just couldn't snap himself out of the fact he wasn't in Vietnam anymore.

[@AlAmantea]

Honestly, there are only two kinds of human beings that can watch this without experiencing sadness, anger, frustration, and guilt. One is the Psychopath, the other I call the Manikin. BOTH are selfish, narcissistic, disconnected people whom society needs to help as much as the veterans fighting our wars and conflicts. Neither should be OK with their own personal reaction, or the lack thereof. Knowing many who have died, many continuing to fight, and many who will do it again without hesitation, I thank them all for their sacrifice, no matter how great or small it may be. It is said that war changes a man, but in reality, it changes everyone. Never give up, Never surrender, and never feel lesser for asking for help. We all need it. USMC. I see you, devil dogs...

[@alanfoster6589]

Saw them last summer. Powerful stuff.

[@orlandorodriguez8303]

@charis sellick. Fist thank you fro your reaction. I also thank you for being upfront with if you do not get emotionally attached to the video, it is due to trauma that you have been through. But I do you and your viewers to know that we all been through something and the fact we been through something we all can relate with one another. But yes this video hits every-time, because I have lived that life. It is not easy, yes there are services out there for us but those of us who is really having a hard time do not know how to ask. So I just say when you do see someone don't always think it is fake, because it is not. Especially where int he video it showed the Veteran just walking around screaming. I was in a conflict to where I took a young kids life. I have had nightmares about that incident, but instead of the young boy's face, it was my daughter's. I have told her and a lot of my family my experiences, but it took me a while to open up, because I thought they would judge me. But they did not. A lot of Veterans are scared to speak because of the same reason.

[@Tradekraft]

Everyone in this band is a veteran and not all US veterans, the drummer, Is from eastern Europe. We all have similar wounds in our minds.

[@TitusBG]

Well.. i am geting emotional every time i hear this song.. Not a single miss..

[@roblaw4554]

First, absolutely stoic by nature here...with decades of direct experience both in-uniform and out. One result in me now is a dramatic shift to an ease-with-no-embarrasment-at-all place where I embrace and willingly display my emotions without masking. I have, over the years, had a very raw and direct rant as my usual reaction to this vid. All I will say today is this: if WE won't work as hard to protect and save our brothers and sisters off the battlefield as we did on it, then WE have failed our comrades. Period. Full stop. STOP looking to others to take care of US. Sitting at home and whining does NOTHING. Step the FRAK up and make the right things happen. Or shut the frak up. Thank you for sharing a reaction. How real it was will be demonstrated by action... Cheers rl 🤘👹🤘

[@alexflores7652]

This song is such a kick in the nuts for the ones that went and fought. Then just thrown away by the government. They believe that those that fight in the wars they created should be kept in a glass box and brought out only for the next war. I severed but not in combat I was in between wars. I was still in High School during Desert Shield/Storm in 1990 and 1991. I had just started my junior year when Iraq rolled into Quait. This is a great and sad song all in one, I tear up every time I hear it. I was Air Force from Apr 1997 to Apr 2001.
