Coincidentally I learned this just yesterday, savor: taste or smell, savour: enjoyment

[@dyzzee7861]

please do a vocal analysis on tallah- L.E.D (one take vocal performance)their vocalist justin bonitz is extremely animated to the point you can see how his whole body affects his voice

[@danzig9410]

Next Rise Against song HAS to be Hero of War. The emotion in that song is heavy.

[@brothersdebate882]

Could you do a vocal analysis of this is the moment performed by Anthony warlow

[@Jonboy997]

You should do Jesus of suburbia by green day. It's their absolute best song and a rollercoaster of music tbh

[@webcrawler2007]

Hero Of War is a song from Rise Against that truly deserves more shine. It's wonderful, simple, and powerful.

[@njal87]

Agree!

[@KodyMK]

Yes

[@jameslincoln3011]

She needs to do that one next.

[@Khomuna]

Very calm and very sad

[@TheKalash]

I'm just liking every single rise against song recommendations, because they are all great.

[@daperturedan3454]

The good left undone, paper wings, give it all... more Rise Against please!

[@shaditude3461]

Siren Song of the Counter Culture was their best album by far!

[@theblazenscot618]

​@shaditude3461 agreed, every song is gold.

[@nzl_hesus598]

All 3 of those have always been my top favourites

[@VictorRodriguez-ep1cu]

Survive by them! It doesn’t get as much recognition!

[@Gorthol_X]

just want to throw "Elective Amnesia", "Historia Calamitatum" and "But Tonight We Dance" in here since I think they are heavily underrated songs

[@thomas60274]

Most people are sleeping on it but" people live here" is one of their best vocal songs. I saw it live and it hits where it needs to.

[@alvatrous]

fking love that song. disparity by design and tragedy + time are other good ones

[@MichaelMLFC92]

It's incredible.

[@Thennecan]

Love that song!

[@GobanShodan]

Honestly, the entire discography of Rise Against is reaction worthy in my opinion. They are truly a legendary band.

[@deltav864]

I'd like to put a newer gem in the basket: The Answer

[@boneapptheteeth2039]

I've seen Rise Against a few times in concert and I can say for sure that Tim sounds exactly like this live also. He's incredible.

[@DangeHD]

He used to sound like that, but he´s getting older and he doesn´t have the energy he used to anymore. But to be clear that´s natural and more than understandable after all these years :D

[@boneapptheteeth2039]

@@DangeHD He also recently took some vocal lessons to figure out how to have more clarity and less strain without sacrificing the power.

[@choppsuey4626]

He's an amazing singer, much like a Chester Bennington in the fact that you can't have the band without him

[@ryanlowe7315]

Ive seen them live, love him wnd the band but no, he does not sound like this hardly at all especially these days

[@murphymoerf]

@@DangeHD I've seen them live three times and I cannot say he doesn't have the energy. His voice isn't what it was fifteen years ago (Rise Against sadly also usually don't have the best mix live), but he always gives it all on stage. No pun intended :D I guess early on in his career he didn't take care of his voice enough, but it's never a lack of energy or effort

[@cixelsyd40]

Definitely check out their song "Make it Stop (September's Children)". It's a heavy song, but has a powerful message that needs to be heard.

[@ShadowPerson11]

10000000% agree! That's another good one for a BetterHelp sponsor, too.

[@InZomnia365]

Help is On The Way is also great. Second verse never fails to give me goosebumps.

[@GreyfauxxGaming]

Agree 100%

[@therandleray]

Came here to say the same thing, Make It Stop, and Help is on the Way are absolutely necessary.

[@jackinthebox135]

Yes.One of their best. I always tear up at that song.

[@bonniebernido8510]

Rise against is astonishingly good and their messages are real raw and blunt. I love that you're diving into them

[@rockon01233]

This band has an endless amount of amazing songs. I hope you get to hear many more! One of my all time favorite bands.

[@jcubed824]

I love Rise Against. I still have “Satellite” on my running playlist and they have been in my ear during some of my important moments.

[@HeavenlyDemonicKid]

+2 to satelite, it's such a banger

[@miniman995]

I remember when I first heard Rise Against. And they have been on my playlist ever since. 10-15 years I've been listening. And I have to say, their live performances are even more incredible. Tim McIlraths voice could hush the entire crowd. or make everybody scream at the top of their lungs. with barely an effort. truly awesome.

[@travismattingly1414]

"Hero of War" or "Make It Stop" are absolute necessities for you to listen to. They woke something within me so real and raw.

[@2rare2die100]

Both songs have made me cry more than once

[@jakobmeathead]

That and also Tragedy + Time and maybe even People Live here

[@Kevin-ex2gf]

Make it stop makes me cry to this day lol

[@sonea9444]

Support Comment. these hit different

[@SuomiGameHUB]

I don't agree. They're both some of their worst and most boring songs. Instant skip.

[@Chaps_Jr]

If i may make a suggestion for a band to analyze in a future video: AFI. AFI was one of the big powerhouse emo/pop punk bands of the 90s and 00s. Davey Havok has such an unmistakably beautiful, dynamic voice, and a total mastery of his craft. He's also a beautiful man.

[@oliviabrown1708]

Absolutely! "Miss Murder" is probably their most iconic song, but I'm also very fond of "God Called In Sick Today".

[@pixel_glitched]

I loved the older, hardcore and later emo-punk stuff; As I've gotten older, I've also _really_ come to appreciate their modern post-punk stuff, a lot. AFI is still just an incredible band. I like Davey and Jade's side project Blaqk Audio a lot, too.

[@Chaps_Jr]

@@pixel_glitched Davey's new wave project, DREAMCAR, is incredible as well. Sounds exactly like authentic 80s new wave.

[@henrylee7316]

basically she just needs to do more punk music lol

[@pixel_glitched]

@@Chaps_Jr Blaqk Audio (Davey and Jade) is also very good.

[@NovaVortexNV]

This song is such a banger that it never left my playlist.

[@Nergal8621]

Almost 20 years later and I'm still listening too.

[@Gforceracing20]

'Swing Life Away' was my wedding song. To give you a different side of Rise Against. This video has a 2 minute "interview" at the beginning for you to hear his speaking voice: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oX-2qqWfhKuDhqM

[@bigbert21]

I had Swing in my wedding as well. My wife said I get a handful of songs.... And that was an easy choice

[@chaoscat9677]

it was mine too! Although we're no longer together it still holds such a special place in my heart, what a beautiful choice to make to express love and a relationship

[@2424Lars]

That is very good wedding song, nice!

[@deeduffjr]

This was the absolute anthem of my mid 20's!

[@MichaelStockUK]

Another vote for Swing Life Away - I think it was my introduction Rise Against.

[@TylerFBailey]

FINALLY!!! MY ALL TIME FAVORITE BAND!!! First CD I ever got at a kid was their first album! Watch Give It All for their original sound. And Help Is On The Way is a heartbreaking one reminding me of hurricane Katrina. But I literally have never heard a song from them I didn't like! Those are just a couple to mention. I've got a hell of a lot more to suggest for any purpose! That'd why I love them!

[@conors4430]

RA my favourite band and have been since 2006. A few facts. This song almost didn’t make the album, the band didn’t particularly like it, their booking Agent told them they were idiots to not include it. So they did, and it became their biggest song. Tim would also be cool to get an interview with. He’s one of the nicest guys in rock ‘n’ roll and up until 2017, nine years after this song was released. He had never had a singing lesson, but his voice started to play up, and he started to Get issues on an off stage. He got vocal training in between their album, wolves and their latest album nowhere generation. The difference in his voice between those two albums is crazy, because he has found a way to bring the grit back into his voice without destroying his voice. And that’s basically 20 years into his career. Anything from the albums, revolutions per minute, siren, songs of the counter culture, the sufferer and the witness or Appeal To Reason is basically solid gold. And the latest album, Nowhere Generation is brilliant because he has been able to let loose vocally in a way he wasn’t able to sustain for a good few years. Because of vocal lessons.

[@InjectTheWaste]

Yeah when she was mentioning that his voice sounds like its almost about to break, its because it was, no training and screaming like he was was unsustainable but produced such a raw emotionally driven sound that resonates in such an awesome way. the nowhere sessions of the classic songs show how big the change in his voice was after vocal training, the songs are completely different.

[@kr1ptyk137]

I recommend another song by them called Hero Of War. It is deeply moving and very poignant. Very worth a listen. Possibly even a video?

[@joelnordgaard5155]

I love Rise Against! Please check out Coheed & Cambria! Claudio's voice is amazing! "Welcome Home" or "A Favor House Atlantic" are both great intros to the band.

[@kzed.]

The a "car"pella version of the gutter is amazing by Coheeed

[@IxIJimboIxI]

I love "In keeping secrets of silent earth 3" by them. banger song

[@lazurusknight2724]

I like Blood Red Summer because it brings on his vocals a little slowly. Also, his lip piercings were new at the time and he can't stop licking them in the video.

[@Pajamaking618]

Yes! I'm begging for Coheed!!!

[@marvcauthon]

Another vote coheed, In Keeping Secrets is a perfect first listen for Claudio's range

[@clumsyturtle8544]

Help is on the way is a powerful song by them.

[@wrifraff]

Yes! Underrated comment!

[@kurtw6922]

Rise Against and Bad Religion are delightful bands. It's amazing how they take some 'simple' punk chord progressions, up tempo drums, and passionate vocals and make absolute magic out of it.

[@MozillaFennekin]

Rise Against has been my favorite band for 15 years now; it's so great hearing such a detailed and enthusiastic review of their music. If you find yourself looking to do another RA analysis, I'd recommend "Ready to Fall" to get Tim's hardcore vocals on full display.

[@Darevas]

I know this band from a Game OST on 2004 (NFSU2), after that it follow them and now are ones of my favorite bands, i had the fortune to see them on live, and was amazing!! definitely i will not miss this video, regards from Chile.

[@Magister2005]

Savior holds a special place in my heart. Was the second song I heard from Rise Against and the one that sold me on the band. Been listening to them ever since. I would love to see Tragedy + Time. Was a song that helped me when I was in a dark spot

[@2424Lars]

Same with Me, Tragedy + Time is very powerful song!

[@tankian4545]

@@chrisklema9992 That's how punk mosh pits are supposed to be like. Wild as hell but when someone falls you pick him up. You rage against the society, not against your fellow punks.

[@Grogurt58]

I dropped my glasses once in a pit of theirs, and someone picked them up off the floor and gave them back before they got stomped on! I had just enough time to yell thank you before getting moshed in the other direction. It's still one of my favorite concert memories to this day!

[@curtiverousparsons9297]

That is fact. Saw them with a day to remember in New Mexico, and actually fell in the pit, just to be picked up immediately. Didn't even get to thank whoever it was. I was very appreciative.

[@shadowfire_08]

God I wish I could see them live

[@rueburch2856]

The producers are Bill Stevenson (also the drummer for The Descendents, ALL, and at one time Black Flag) and Jason Livermore at the Blasting Room. They've done most of Rise Against's albums as well as a lot other punk bands over the last 20 years or so, and I've always loved what they do. They manage to keep the raw power and emotion in there while putting a lot of ear candy in.

[@hyprhippo7058]

I am so excited for this!!! Please do Swing Life Away or Make It Stop next

[@GreyfauxxGaming]

Id love to see your take on their acoustic album, rise against ghost note symphonies. They re-do a bunch of their songs with much more acoustic vibe.

[@markfrey5653]

I was about to say the same. It’s such a good album, just a different take on their songs and still as good

[@oogabooga473]

[@And_rew92]

Rise Against is one of the most underrated bands. They have so many songs that are bangers, yet really go unappreciated.

[@skizzy6135]

[@zackiej89]

Seen them a couple times, absolutely awesome live

[@natecooper2492]

One of my fav shows ever see them if you can!

[@ItsAllGood_]

Has CV ever broken down a Volbeat song?? Michael Paulsen has such a unique voice. And the music shreds. Also, one of the best live rock bands around. Check out "Lonesome Rider" live. The studio track is him trading choruses with Sarah Blackwood. When they perform it live he sings BOTH parts and even changes his voice to a higher/softer pitch to do her part. It's amazing.

[@alexbliss9353]

I thought someone was suggesting the Mars Volta for a second. That would be great as well.

[@InZomnia365]

Michael has some of the best live vocal performances I've heard from a rock singer for sure

[@AlarikMac21]

I second that she should react to volbeat. Lonesome rider, Lola Montez, heaven nor hell, fallen, or cape of our hero would all be great choices, but that whole outlaw gentleman and shady ladies album is fantastic

[@sallie5321]

yes!! I'd love to see this. I think something like the live version of For Evigt would also be an interesting watch for her with Olsen featuring, such different voices but both powerhouses!

[@ItsAllGood_]

​@@AlarikMac21Those are all great choices. I could rattle off so many good choices. For Evigt, Still Counting, Sad Man's Tongue, Mirror and the Ripper, A Warrior's Call, Becoming, Leviathan, Heaven Nor Hell, etc...I could keep going...haha. I mentioned Lonesome Rider Live because his vocals are tremendous, especially live.

[@drewstar7116]

Please more Rise Against. Such a great band with powerful songs and meanings. Audience of One is a great one if you need a suggestion.

[@rhianlewis2273]

This one!! I think she'd love it!

[@LuesterLux]

This is one of my all time favourite bands. I love Tim's voice, I love how they play with tempo shifts, I love their lyrics, their energy, all of it. But more than anything else, I love how every part of their music speaks to me from a place of deep, deep compassion and thoughtfulness. And I think no song encapsulates what I mean better than "Tragedy + Time" and I would love to see you react to it. The song, to me, is about the importance of acknowledging and accepting sadness and grief as a necessary part of life, in order to be able to overcome and grow out of it. It makes you feel seen, it gives you hope and perspective and it is one of those songs, that has probably saved thousands of lives already. And I think a lot more people out there could use a song like that, so I'd be very happy if it could find a platform on your channel. Lots of love to all of you. Keep up the good work @TheCharismaticVoice #betterhelp

[@iambecomejeff]

This is why I love this channel I've been listening to this song for over a decade, and never noticed some of the sounds that were pointed out

[@CrippledMerc]

This song kinda triggered something in me many years ago. It wasn’t a new song to me, I had been listening to it since it came out and seen them live a couple times. It just didn’t really hit me until I was in a certain situation and happened to hear it. That day I made a choice to make a change and walk away from someone and something that I had put many years of my life into up to that point, trying desperately to make it work despite all the bullshit. I just couldn’t do it anymore. I realized that the mental toll it was taking on me wasn’t worth what I was getting in return, so I walked away. It’s weird how you can hear a song countless times and then when you hear it at the right time and place it can have a completely different and profound effect on you like that. Either way, I’ve never looked back since I made that choice, and the only thing I’d go back and change is that I wish I had done it sooner.

[@terrymartin5839]

I'm sorry about the situation you went through for this song to click. So many songs I've listened to all my life have had multiple personal interpretations depending on my age, experiences I'm going through, or different moods while listening. It's what I love most about music and really highlights great and timeless song writing imo.

[@jonathanmartin3767]

This song hits me hard too. Not 100% sure why. But it just resonates. Maybe it is the message of the song with the chaos of the music. Sometimes I swear my brain won't switch off and the noise is just all over the place.

[@WillRobinson]

A friend of mine was going through a similar situation and had this exact response to "This Is Letting Go".

Rise Against has been my favorite concert so far. Tim did a solo, acoustic version of a few songs during a break and it was phenomenal. Love your analysis of him, and the songs in general!

[@andyschnell58]

Elizabeth, thanks for introducing me to another great artist. I suggest everyone check out your library of videos, as they will likely learn of a new favorite. My new favorites are The Warning, a power trio of 3 sisters from Mexico and Angelina Jordan, a self taught jazz singer who can sing just about anything. I have no doubt at all, both will be creating awesome music for decades to come.

[@bse523]

I second The Warning! They are incredible. I'm thinking either Error just for the power in the chorus or Revenant just for the story behind the song.

If you're dipping your toes into punk my I recommend a few songs from on of my favorite bands, Against Me!: Pints of Guinness Makes You Strong (I prefer the version from The Acoustic EP but its a fantastic early song of theirs), 8 Full Hours of Sleep (This is the song that made me fall in love with Laura Jane Grace's voice there's a comfort to in it), Black Me Out (More of what you would think a punk song to be) and I'll stop with the songs Thrash Unreal and Stop from the album New Wave (These are probably Against Me!'s most recognizable songs I know when i was going through their discography they stood out as songs I heard before knowing them)

Make it stop is my favorite song by them. the message in the song and video is so strong and talks about a big issue that people go through especially kids/teenagers. as always, i loved your video. keep up the amazing work!

[@jpie25]

Thank you. So happy to see you enjoy Rise Against, again. Really enjoy your analysis of Tim’s lyrics, voice, and the band in general. 🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@thijspostma5031]

It's honestly a shame Tim completely broke his voice because of the early punk days, luckily he's getting back up to it again! Last album and tour he sounded so much better

[@shaditude3461]

Pretty much every song on "Siren Song of the Counter Culture". haha.. State of the Union in itself would have killed mine..

[@michealnorris1619]

Seen them for their Black Market tour some years ago now and I felt like he was struggling to sing it. I actually really respected that though, he had to of known he was struggling, yet he ploughed on anyway. Was still an awesome show.

[@deeduffjr]

They were great when I saw them in Dallas earlier this year!

[@britbrat590]

Saw them at Louder Than Life a couple years ago and he sounded amazing, but some songs are difficult for singers to perform after so many years. David Draiman is a good example, he's an amazing vocalist but some songs he just doesn't have quite the same voice as he use to 20 years ago.

Do iced earth - A question of heaven. Matt Barlow is one of the greatest signer of all time. His range is great and way too underrated.

[@TheDroppedvw]

Been waiting for this since I found this channel.

[@sirboi]

How charismatic you gotta be to really dig into every single nuance not only on Tim's voice but also all the work involved in it's production. Bravo, this was a joy to watch!

[@yowsaSC2]

Hero of war next plz

[@iamhestbech.iamorphan]

Have you done rise against hero of war ?

[@TColoradoF]

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Rise Against and your analysis! Such a dynamic band and sound. 🥰

[@kristoph221]

This band helped me through so much shit back in the day. It makes me emotional to see someone enjoy their work with such enthusiasm and sincerity.

[@Brooks_M3]

More Rise Against! Swing Life Away is a polar opposite from Savior, you’ll love it!

[@At0mix]

Rise Against are one of the few survivors of the punk genre after pivoting to a more poppy sound. Which is to say, yes, their instruments tend to fall apart in their music videos.

[@Mattyman1987]

Even though they went more poppy, they still kept their punk edge at the same time.

[@Azlind]

I keep rise against and bad religion on my phone and always come back two those two in particular.

[@chrabonszcz]

This video made me want to listen to Rise Against. I haven't listen to them since couple of years! Thank You Elizabeth! 🤩

[@woodwindfixer9248]

I love and appreciate how you pick apart so many of these songs from the point of view of musicality, structure, production effects, imagery, and all of the myriad details that make such songs so catchy, appealing, and require cranking the volume in the car but we don’t know why.

[@unofficialairsofts]

I highly recommend listening to Tonight The World Dies by Avneged Sevenfold. It's a true underrated gem and really shows off what M. Shadows is capable of.

[@0perat0r]

I can't believe there are no Smashing Pumpkins analysis videos yet 😭

[@fleetwoodmacsexpants9757]

Rise Against was by far my favorite band growing up, specially 2006-2011. I finally got an opportunity to see them live in Bend, OR in 2022 and it was an amazing concert. They sound fantastic live and I can’t wait to see them again! Great reaction as always!

[@SuperCybertiger]

Savior is one of my top ten most favorite songs ever, it means so much to me, thanks for the analyze

[@brianware8934]

Suggestion time again! Red Handed Denial - “Father Said” (Lauren Babic live one take performance) Recentish version of Lauren who can sing beautifully and scream with the best of them.

[@e.g.6386]

How have you not done an analysis on Claudio Sanchez of Coheed and Cambria? You need to do one for Blood Red Summer or A Favor House Atlantic. Claudio has the perfect voice for you to really dive deep and break down for us.

[@TheCharismaticVoice]

Coheed and Cambria is coming! They've been on my list for some time, and my patrons have finally gotten a song onto my list that I'm interested in analyzing!

[@e.g.6386]

@@TheCharismaticVoice I'm excited for that. In that case I'll give one more suggestion from a more personal place that I have wanted you to do since I discovered you years ago. Leon Russell is a local legend here in Tulsa. He greatly inspired a whole generation of artists in the 70s including Elton John and Eric Clapton. I don't feel he gets the recognition he deserves among the rock gods of the past. He has a song called "A Song For You" that he puts so much emotion into that it hurts. The song has been covered by artist ranging from Willie Nelson and Ray Charles to Whitney Houston, Michael Buble and Amy Winehouse. Unique and emotional voice.

[@KY.0009]

​@@TheCharismaticVoiceI'm excited for the Coheed song!

[@justin.rodgers]

Listen to Welcome Home!

[@DavidGowers]

What I think I appreciate most about your videos is that, you say very much just what I feel about songs like this but don't have the vocabulary to put into words properly myself. So thank you for that.

[@candy1dragon236]

For having seen them in concert. They are the best i love them, my number onw on spotify wrapped again this year. I wish you would do their entire discography (i do know that is sadly not possible)

[@thequirkyquark]

Savior was immensely popular, but there are great songs that flew under the radar. Drones, for one. Life Less Frightening. Ready To Fall. Survive. Paper Wings.

[@nikkan3810]

I'm still listening to drones quite often, though i discovered it much later than the rest 😅

[@galacticcannibl1966]

Please check out Volbeat. You'll love Michael Paulsen's voice!

[@adambailey7932]

I hadn't really thought about it before, but the way you highlight the production aspect of this song has helped me understand the role of a producer in making music. The musicians perform the song with their instruments and voices, the producer uses the band as an instrument. Definitely adds another element to the way I think about the music I constantly listen to.

[@NickiAvenged]

This throws me back into moddle school. I love this band. They were a huge part of my teen years!

[@stuartwatts3388]

Would love to hear you do a Jane’s Addiction song. Perry Farrell has such an unusual voice. A great band from the late 80s early 90s

[@stephenm8725]

Jane says / I'm done with Sergio...

[@beantownbenji]

I would love for you to analyze a Breaking Benjamin song

[@nightrocker1343]

Well, this got a sub from me. I adore Rise Against. I discovered them in 2021 during a terrible period of my life. I find their sound fascinating! Your analysis makes me love them even more. Like I knew when his voice carried the instruments or vice versa, it made me feel things, but your explanation helped me put words to that sensation. Thank you very much.

[@jebus7679]

Rise Against is amazing. They are one of the few bands that I have seen multiple times. And I would keep seeing them no matter how many times I had seen them before. They sound so good live.
