YUNGBLUD - GOD SAVE ME BUT DON'T DROWN ME OUT - REACTION/RANT - WHAT AN AMAZING MESSAGE!

[@patbateman8116]

Just gonna share my story. All my life I’ve been considered a ‘weirdo’ due to my metal and pop punk music taste and my behaviour whether I’m too hyper, excitable, sad, isolated or just lonely. Lots of the time, I just want someone who really cares. Who won’t abandon me when I show them who I really am. I always get ‘it’s just situational anxiety’ or ‘why are you SO unsocial?’ or ‘why are you so depressed?’ or ‘you’ve got a house and a family? Why are you upset?’ Truth is, I’m scared of rejection. My default defence to when I’m scared of socialising is putting my earphones in and cranking up my music. My moods change rapidly, from feeling ecstatic to so f*cking depressed. I sometimes have panic attacks about doing even simple things like going to one of my clubs. I can’t stop moving, I go from really liking someone to just wanting to get away from that place and person and my brain is either running at 110 mph all the time or 1 mph and it gets worse all the time. I’m never truly ever able to relax apart from when I listen to music or play a game and have the volume so loud I can’t hear anything else. Same with the music for volume. Then school. One of my teachers is amazing. He’s my maths teacher. He works his arse off to help me but I still can’t achieve the grades I want or need to and I feel like a scam because of it. I don’t get why I can’t do the stuff like everyone else. I can’t work anything out in my head and the formulas just drift over my head and I forget nearly all of them. My family try to help me with it and some stuff gets in my brain but the majority goes over my head again. It tears me apart because everyone’s giving me the armbands and life jackets but I still can’t f*cking swim. Then the one person I was gonna ask out because she was the one person I thought I could be in a real relationship with and trust ended up going out with my best mate. She was the only person I thought I could trust but I never had the f*cking guts to ask her. I was so scared of rejection. People also say it’s ‘just hormones’ since I’m not fully an adult but I know what I feel isn’t normal. Nobody can go what I go through and be absolutely fine. I’m so scared of opening up to my parents or anyone really because I’ve always been told to just ‘man up’. I know they love me, it’s just I know they wouldn’t understand or get it. I don’t think they’d take me seriously and sometimes I think, what could a therapist do anyway? Are they in my brain? No. So they just won’t get it. One of my classmates asked me ‘why do you always look like you’re gonna burst into tears?’ I said to them ‘I don’t though do I? You only cry for help if you believe there’s help to cry for.’ (Wentworth Miller quote but it fitted the situation perfectly.) He didn’t bother me again. I felt bad but then I realised I told him the truth. I know some of this rant might have come of as cheesy, but it’s how I honestly feel. I want you to know I really respect what you stand for dude. Not nearly enough people do it these days. You make me hopeful when I watch one of your videos and you talk about this because it makes me feel less alone and that like someone cares. Thank you man. Honestly.

@North Star dude....thank you for sharing this. Never let anyone tell you that you cannot be something. You listen to a certain kind of music that allows you to feel more of who you are as a person. If it inspires you to get up of a morning and live your life then you do it man. Fuck anyone who tries to tell you to be a certain kind of person. You and you only are the only person that can decide how you are going to live your life. I have been through a lot of shit in life I really have. Music is an escape for me and to be honest I use it and treat it as a coping mechanism. Music can do things to me and allow me to go into another world that just lets me escape the bullshit of whatever happened. I have had some serious health problems from my old channel before this which led me to closing it down and to be honest I thought that was it for me on KZbin. I had worked so hard for so long only to be destroyed and left nearly doing something so fucking stupid and losing the best things in life. Emily is everything to me. She is a massive part of the person I am today. She will keep me grounded and tell me when I am being a prick but always in a good way and always with a reason behind it to make me see sense. When people say they have found their soulmate well that is what I have in Emily, she supports me in everything that I do and we are so alike it is crazy. If you ever need to chat man drop me a message on Instagram or find me on Facebook or even in the Discord server and just drop me a private message. I will be happy to talk to you and we can work through things. Like I said earlier I have very nearly done something stupid and it would have been for nothing. Letting irrelevant pricks effect you is something I will never allow to happen again. I have proven I am better than them and that they are nothing and will always remain nothing. The thing with dickheads like that is they need the attention. They need to be listened to and if you give them nothing back and eventually kill them with happiness and success there is nothing they can do. That is exactly what I have done. I am happier than I have ever been. My life now is great and I have an amazing woman behind me. Throw in the unreal support from people like yourself and look where I am now? There is always light at the end of the tunnel no matter how long or dark that tunnel may be. You are NEVER alone and there is always someone there to talk to....all you have to do is reach out and ask. I will always be here. NEVER suffer alone

MTN Reacts Thank you so much for this man. Like I said, sometimes you just need to know someone is there for you. You wouldn’t believe how much your comment has warmed my heart. It gives me a little bit of hope to be honest. No matter how bad sh*t gets, I’ll come back and read this comment. Keep safe man 🤘👍

[@sharon7968]

@@patbateman8116 Thanks for sharing your story. This is why music is so important to everyone especially in these weird times and this particular song of Dom's has a very strong message that he was determined to get across - he recorded it after he'd finished the entire Weird! album, kept the guys in the studio till 4am to lay it down and I think you can hear in his vocal he was crying at certain parts. He's very passionate that people feel supported in this kind of thing. As MTN said people are here for you and if you need some support you can reach out to me on IG or twitter. Take care and stay safe xx

[@patbateman8116]

Sharon Wolstencroft thank you so much. Really. I’ve found the music community is my home. People here care about you, not like pretty much anywhere else. We’re all a family and that is so special. Keep safe 🤘

@mtn reacts This is one of my favourite reacts to the song. As an avid fan of Dom's since the beginning, I just wanted to share. Although Dom suffered (and still does) from ADHD and he did experience a lot of the things he writes about because he never felt like he fit in anywhere, when he references parents in his lyrics he's talking in general from stories his fans have passed on not the way he was treated by his own when he was growing up. His mum & dad are and have always been incredibly supportive of his choices (well most of them!) and his mum even took him off ADHD medication because she said it changed him into a zombie and not a child she recognised. She said recently (and I'm paraphrasing here) 'you were 14, stood in front of the mirror in your bedroom wearing a dress and nail polish and singing into your hairbrush but you are what you are and we love you" .

One thing I've always respected highly about Yungblud is his attitude. I remember when I first discovered Yungblud I watched his adhd travis mills interview and he was talking about his style and slightly self consciously made a joke about he wore his girlfriend's clothes and she wore his. And explained how he just felt really good when he wore a dress, and then was like 'is that weird?' The he stopped himself and was like 'see why do I think that's weird? It shouldn't be. I should wear more dresses' -and I feel like that is the attitude perfectly on show in this song. He takes something he feels insecure about -recognises he's feeling bad about himself for it- stops, and turns it around to say- why am I feeling insecure? How is the world contributing to it?- then resolving to act in defiance of it and love himself. I know yungblud's parents are pretty supportive of him- they've tried their best to understand I think- but he has spoken about other family members not reacting very positively and how teachers and adults on the street came up to him/his parents to say he shouldn't be wearing nail varnish/'girl stuff' making him feel embarassed about something that had made him feel really good. I actually caught a recent interview with him about the BMTH song where he said he did that collab for his 13 year old self who was stood at a bus stop in a skirt and hoodie with a black eye because some bully couldn't handle it, blasting BMTH in his headphones to get through. I think he uses 'parents' in his videos as a more representative force for every adult in his life and hearing/feeling that sentiment from most of them growing up. This is definitely one of my favourite Yungblud songs. I think he's certainly one of thoseartists it's easy to misjudge on a surface level but when you actually start paying real attention you realise he is super smart,very musically skilled, and has a real purpose to the stuff he creates. I'm glad you're enjoying him.

Dom (Yungblud) He said this about the song: this is the song that saftey pins the whole album together. it was the last song I wrote off weird! and it was written at 4 am the night before i delivered the album.i kept everyone in the studio all night, so to the boys im sorry. i felt the emotion coming up my back and was crying my fucking eyes out for the whole vocal take, i think you can fucking hear it. this song is for anyone laying awake at 4 am wondering why they cant break through the wall or why they arent good enough. we all get lost,we all find it hard to keep fighting and to be oursel es but we're gonna get through it together. I WONT LET MY INSECURITIES DEFINE WHO I AM🖤 he said it had to come out this month because it is suicide prevention month!!! and the song is about that😢😢

[@marenusken4872]

Thank you so much for this reaction 🙌🖤 I love this! Please react to more YUNGBLUD ✌️

[@MTNReacts]

I plan on :) he is such an amazing talent.

[@Entspannungskatze]

My parents and I now get along well but still I will always remember when I was a teenager and my mom wouldn't take me grocery shopping with her because she was too ashamed of how I looked. That's something that just hits too deep. I will never make that mistake myself if I get children.

[@dsmembereddreams]

Everyone has their own inner teddy bear. All you gotta do is just let it out. It might just save your life.

[@MTNReacts]

I could not agree more!

[@eboethrasher]

Fuckin hell man, this is a fuckin beautiful react. Your passion on this is inspiring and makes all of us feel heard and welcome, just like Dom does. You would make a fucking wonderful dad, mate. Much love from the BHC! 🖤🖤🖤

[@MTNReacts]

Thank you so much!!! That’s a love thing to read ❤️

[@xDarkTrinityx]

Anyone else reminded of a British Bert McCracken (The Used) when hearing this song? I've had this stuck in my head for days.

[@MTNReacts]

I can see why you would get that yeah :)

[@emoJimmyB]

Good tune this - I'm pleased I know about your channel dude - its got me back into checking out music thats not just from the same 20 bands in circles

[@MTNReacts]

Thank you dude! Really appreciate the support. I will try to keep bringing new bands to your attention :)

[@seanofarrell8896]

I would agree as long as you direct your children on the right path it's up to them to see where they go if they treat the children like shit and plus another reason for suicide is bullying and the main thing cyber bullying. Plus if you let your children do crime and other things it's just wrong in my opinion. Also letting children meet strangers on the web for no reason i say it's rubbish it's up to the parents there to keep them safe and not be assholes.

[@MTNReacts]

Could not agree more!! Parents nowadays treat kids as trophies and not as fucking children!
