Therapist reacts to Metallica - Nothing Else Matter (FIRST TIME REACTION)

[@miguelguerreirobaptista4856]

Well, Fade to Black is perfect for a therapist to react! You definitely check it out!

[@nuhacetquinteroportero8556]

Absolutly

[@brianstinson7757]

Fade to Black is too easy - need a deep dive into Dyer’s Eve

Yes, and The Unforgiven trilogy as well.

[@seangrover6101]

I agree Dyer's Eve would be great. I would also recommend Am I Evil

[@chapina1492]

Metallica has always been my go to for the hardest moments in my life. Instead of leaving me in my depression, it gives me the desire to fight, to move on, to not give up.

[@friendryan]

im taking Metallica into the after life to keep evil demons and spirits away

[@georgelopezcarrillo2904]

Same thing here

[@FB12887]

exactly what happened to me. 5 years ago metallica gave me strength to battle the depression.

[@lindasantiago8253]

Metallica is pretty my go to for everything.

[@MrMetallidude]

The singer (James Hetfield) actually wrote this song for his then-girlfriend. The song is about long-distance relationships and missing your loved one. But this is the genius of his writing. He can write lyrics to a song and people can interpret it very differently, because he is able to write it so universally.

[@timl8302]

He broke up with her. So, it's now a song between Metallica & their fans.

[@susanconstable2113]

I always say in reaction videos how james writes lyrics in a way that is very personal to him yet vague enough for the listener to interpret them unto their own life’s experiences! He is a master poet for sure. Hundreds of years from now people will be reflecting on how spectacular a writer he was!

He was actually afraid to introduce the song to the band as he was afraid they would think it was too soft. :)

[@danismithmn]

SIR Elton John told Howard Stern that this is one of the best songs ever written. That interview also had Metallica in the studio with Howard and James cried a little bit when he heard that. Lars smiled a lot for him.

[@ARandomInternetUser08]

James tearing up in that interview made me tear up just like him. Seeing something someone said touch him the way it did just...😭😭

[@MrDeengels]

“Open mind for a different view” That line changed my life.

[@nwslimbubba]

It's crazy listening to you because I'm still here because of Metallica. There music is Therapy to me. Fade to Black is another that for me saved me the most It's sounds dark but the lyrics let me feel that I was not alone I'm not the only one going through what I'm going through. The build up through out the song lifts you up and bye the end of the song you are pumped and full of energy. Thankyou for reacting to Metallica I've bin listening to them since 1986 and I'm still here.

[@hdw237]

Sanitarium was my I-hate-the-world song as a teenager. Fan since 1990 ❤

i have heard this song has saved a lot of people. glad you are still here.

[@BadrMarfack]

It is my favorite song of metallica

[@zorven]

I have at times in my life played that song on repeat. It allowed me to experience the feelings of the song without physically experiencing the feelings, if that makes sense. It really did help me get through those moments.

[@Icantbelievethisshit2]

Same here. Fade to Black said it for me but it felt like a release to hear it. Still does.

[@Nickyyzz.]

You would be very interested in James hetfields past (the lead singer). He went through a lot and if you get to their other songs you’ll be blown away by his lyrics and what they represent from his life. Very relatable too

[@mztweety1374]

Yeah I just want to go back in time and give him a big hug 😂😂😂

[@tonyrhodes5541]

I been listening to this song almost 40 years and girl you hit the nail on the head about what nothing else matters means. Great job

[@mattmorganRnR]

The song "Nothing Else Matters" by Metallica is about how difficult life can be, but that we should always remember to live our lives and not let those things ruin us. It's about overcoming adversity and realizing that the tragedies of life are just something that happens to everyone, regardless of their position.

Okay; three things about this video. First, this is the first time I've ever subscribed to a channel after watching the first video; two, I really like your apartment; three, your reaction is actually not a reaction but a really deep dive into the meaning behind these powerful lyrics. I love this song and you're the first one who ever showed me that he/she understood the deep meaning of it. You did not only get yourself a new subscriber but it's for sure that I've got myself a new channel to be excited about what it'll bring next. Thank you, young lady, for this video.

[@Zikkar]

Well said

[@alanhammett09]

I've been listening to Metallica for almost 25 years, and always thought of this song as a love / relationship / romantic song, but your point of view just gave this song a whole new meaning for me, and making me connect with it in a way more personal level. It's just about self love and the confidence that sometimes we're lacking off. Thank you so much!

[@Edessa_G]

I love reactions to Metallica, but this one, you’re words helped me massively. “When you’re in a place of struggling, and you don’t know who you are or what you want, you’re so much more susceptible to thinking that every voice matters..” that hit hard, and helped in a good way. Thank you x

[@Flexstrong71]

thank you for acknowledging this.... This song has been there for me when nobody else has

[@andreagualandi99]

James hetfield is a modern poet. He still have more to say to the world

[@edwardkeith9887]

I would love to see you react to Shinedown!! They have been advocating for mental health for decades!! Especially Atals falls, Get up, and symptom of being human.

[@nimrod1975bce]

I used this song at my church for my Wedding day for my Bride to come down the isles to me. My pastor was sure if we should have used it being that it was a metal band’s song… to me: We told him we waned it and he yielded… and it was a beautiful to have my Bribe come to me with this song.

[@dustybottomstx3040]

I have listened to this song 8000 times in my life (maybe exaggerating) but ive never heard it from a therapist point of view. This was cool to listen to and if i can get a free session let me know :) haha great reaction this was really cool

[@Tux.Penguin]

This song was released 11,619 days ago, so if you heard it 5 times a week maybe you’re not exaggerating! Haha!

[@joeb4142]

I’ve had more than my share of therapists and none were even closely similar to this woman. She’s so encouraging and positive, it’s great. My journey to mental health involved a fair amount of medications but having a therapist on your side who is positive, well spoken and energetic would be quite a blessing.

[@Vidar1312]

Metallica saved my life, it gave me the strength to fight through the darkest moments of my depression. It still touches my heart in away that makes life seems worth living. 🤘

[@Zikkar]

Always makes me smile to read about how many lives have been saved by music so many people deem as evil just out of hand. I am glad you are still here!

Your awesome..I've said the the same thing about "putting on your blinders" to focus on yourself and what really matters and has meaning to your life..great job reacting

[@x0539p]

Elton John said this song was the greatest ever written and it brought James to tears. James was embarrassed when he wrote this song to play it or even think about adding it to an album but his drummer heard it & told him it was so beautiful & it needed to be recorded.

[@rickydiamond441]

You’ve slightly misquoted him here. He didn’t say it was the greatest song ever written, he said it was one of the greatest songs ever written.

Please, please, please do Fade to Black. It's the perfect song for a therapist analysis. That song has saved so many lifes (chose a live version, you won't regret it)🤘🏼🎶

[@dawngomezofficial5635]

I happened upon your videos the other day. I am so glad I did as I seem to have found someone who "hears" the music as opposed to "listens" to the music. I like how you to dissect the song and meaning. Many just "listen" to the song and only appreciate that much of the songs. I appreciate the combination of not only the lyrics but how the music is composed to is collaborated to boost the meaning.

[@bsmo9148]

Just found your channel and watched two of your videos. I like the fact you are reacting to videos and have already formulated your reaction. Well, it appears you work that way since your reactions are very thorough and thought out. You have analyzed the lyrics, and in both videos I watched so far, presented thoughts about the songs I have overlooked for many many years. I love how you interrupt these songs and use metal songs to help people through rough times in their lives. Keep doing what you're doing, Taylor!!! \m/

[@bryanlowry9162]

The multitude of awesome covers of this song out there, especially orchestral and acapella choir versions give me chills every time. I don't know what it is, but this song just reaches inside me and stirs emotions in ways I cannot begin to describe.

[@travisjohnson7111]

Hello...I just came across this reaction/ dissection of one of my favorite songs growing up, and all I can say is, you're exactly right. I've dealt with Schizophrenia since I was 11, and I literally taught myself how to listen to the voices that matter most to me, and ignore everything else. it's been a struggle, especially when my depression kicks in...but, when I focus on my building voices, instead of my teardown ones, it gets me through, and I come out the other side stronger. 'Nothing Else Matters' is by far, Metallica's best blueprint for dealing with chaotic voices...and it almost didn't make it on the album! if not for everyone cajoling James to put it on the album, I don't know where the world would be right now. Again, great reaction, and think you for understanding what music, in general, has been teaching us from the beginning. Have a wonderful week ahead, and I look forward to the next Metallica reaction you do. Bye...

Metallica's library of songs can be on the hard side of things.....but the subject matter/lyrics are pretty damned profound. From PTSD, drug addiction or suicide.....you should take it all in.

You said it. Being told 500 things to do and not to do only to have others have another 500 opinions that say the complete opposite. You get overwhelmed and feel like giving up. Until you can focus and do your genuine self, nothing else really doesn't matter. Create. The hate fades away and does more damage for you and everyone around you. YOU matter!

My wife passed away just over a year ago at 54. This song has meant so much more to me in this past year. I still cry almost every time I hear it. 💔

[@HeartSupport]

From I-Am-Reclaimer: @scottalynch Hey friend, I'm terribly sorry to hear about your loss. That's a lot to deal with and a very recent thing. I'm glad that you have a song that you can go to as music is such a healing force and metal is extremely cathartic in its own rite. The pain you've got inside needs a way to be released and I'm glad that you have a way to release it when listening.

[@HeartSupport]

From tromboness: @scottalynch That is difficult to lose someone that you spent years of your life with. A year is not a lot of time since losing one so close to you. I'm glad that this song has touched you, and I hope it has also helped you through the grieving process. Hold Fast.

[@HeartSupport]

From Micro: @scottalynch I'm so sorry for your loss, friend. It's terrible to lose the very person you've been sharing your life with and partnering with. I can only imagine the immensity of your pain and how difficult it's been already to survive through this year without her. It is completely understandable to cry and to miss her when it feels like your very own heart has been removed of such an important part of itself. Your world has been changed so brutally and it's unfair to haveto learn to deal with the absence and the silences. I wish we could collectively give you a giant hug right now, and hope for the tears to help at least in letting some of the emotions out when they get particularly heavy. If you ever need to let things out, vent and safe people to listen, you are always welcome to do it here. If you are willing to share - no pressure from me at all -, I would also love to hear more about her, the kind of person she was and the impact she had on you. Sometimes it helps, even just for a little bit, to share found memories and the name of the person we miss the most, for the rest of the world can still meet her through you, and you can keep carrying on her voice. Sending much love your way. :heart:

I happened to find this right after watching the Wings For Marie reaction, and my mother just passed away recently, I had a paper route at the age of 15, and I didn't have a driver's license obviously, my mother would drive me around at 5 o'clock in the morning, I'd torment her with Megadeth, Metallica, Slayer, and this is one of the only songs she likes, she was 85 years old and whenever she heard this song, she'd start singing along. You've got me crying my eyes out today, but the catharsis is healing and is very much so appreciated. From a clinical perspective, I'd be interested in seeing a few different reactions, The Pain Remains Trilogy, this one is 20 minutes long, but you should do it all at once, the official video with lyrics, I've already watched your reaction to Only For The Weak by In Flames, there's a live recording of The Chosen Pessimist from the album A Sense Of Purpose that is absolutely gorgeous, and Fade In/Fade Out by Nothing More.

This psychologist asked different questions than the first one i went to, and it made me realise what has caused all the discomfort, all the dramatic thoughts, all the worries, all the suicidal thoughts…..it all started as jealousy and one step i took without really knowing how much of an impact it had on me personally was to delete my Facebook account, it helped me a lot to focus on what was important to me.
