Oh man. I can't wait to play this tomorrow. Love at first listen. It's got it all 😍👌

Your song... Its wonderful. It hurts. Its insightful. It rips away everything that covers my most secret wound, revealing the ugly, evil face hidden beneath the smiles, the self-inflicted judgment that I can never turn away from. "I play the victim and the villain in the same breath... I am the jury and the judge and the defendant... Oh God, do not spill your blood for me... Oh God, Oh God, this is all my fault!" I truly admire your ability to write lyrics that aren't just clever but which actually mean something. And your music is a perfect choice for your lyrics, hard, accusatory and yet pleading. You really are a master at finding the right notes and tempo to lend your lyrics greater power and emotion. And the final verse of the song, after the second bridge, is so great. The repetition of the question, "Would you still be here if you knew the weight of my heart?" Exactly right - a perfect choice to end the song. I imagine some people might think that last verse to be too repetitive, or even a mistake or filler or some such, imagining that you couldn't think of anything else to make the song longer. But for those who really understand, we get it, because we live it, every day. Every day we wonder if this will be the day the ones we love will finally see who we really are and leave us, abandon us, because that's what we deserve. (Even after 25 years of marriage, I know - I know - she'll leave me once she finally sees me for who I truly am.) This is another of your masterpieces. Thank you for sharing it with us.

I got captivated by the thumbnail, so I think your goal of getting a little better at this youtube thing was achieved

Awesome!

🎉

Such a great podcast!! Thank you for doing it. I admire you being brave enough to share your thoughts and experiences with us. And I love your idea of showing you composing a new song while talking about a previous song. I really liked the new composition - can't wait to hear it in full if you decide to develop it further! Thanks for the context around 'Eat You Alive'. Is it terrible that I missed ALL of the signs that this song is about an eating disorder? 🥺 (It just fit so well with the voice in my head that's fueled decades of severe depression... I guess it just shows how multi-faceted your music is!) I'm glad I understand your intention now, though. Also, thank you for sharing your story about your eating disorder from its inception until now. As a father of one young adult daughter and two teenage daughters, it's always been one of my great fears that they might develop an eating disorder. I've spent years 'watching for the warning signs' and trying to use my words and actions to help bolster positive resilience in their minds and hearts, but always feared that I'd screw up and let them down. I hope that what I say next comes across the way I mean it to - knowing that you went through the terrible battles of your eating disorder but have recovered and are a more beautiful person for having done so is encouraging to me, as I know that even if all of my paltry efforts fail, it doesn't mean all is lost for my girls. On a different note, you hit your goal of making the music uncomfortable while still making a song that is great to listen to! I think that there should be a new category/genre of music created - PROTEAN. The word means "tending or able to change frequently or easily" and "able to do many different things; versatile". I think this fits your music perfectly. If this were an official genre, I think more artists would become like you instead of tying themselves to just one thing. Last but not least - thank you for sharing your face and pictures/video of you and your family with us. That takes real courage! You are courageous and wonderful!

We your fans have been waiting with great anticipation for your next song, and you did not disappoint!! First off - I love the shifts in the music, from light and innocent to jagged-edged razor. Your music is experimental and new, so much better than the empty commercial drivel that takes up so much of society's time and energy. The lyrics, even more than the music, is what makes your songs great. Once again, you are so talented! Your word choice, the rhythm and rhyming scheme, and the way you position the words with and then against and then with the music again... it is so spot-on! No I don't need your help, no I don't need a break, I've got no reason to rest, why would I when everything Everything Is FAKE... I appreciate you have some concerns But I am watching the whole world burn I don't know if what I am writing is enough to capture how great I think your music is, so I will finish with this. You have created another master-piece! Thank you for your bravery, energy, and drive to share your music with the world!!

I love this 😍 The beat pleases my neurodivergent brain The lyrics speak to my formerly-bulimic soul

I'm sitting here crying. From despair and self-destruction to one of the greatest declarations of strength I've ever heard... This song is incredible! You are incredible!! Thank you for this amazing song.

This got recommended to me randomly and i dig it! Keep up the good work, love the meaning behind the music

I really like this one. Once again, your choice of pairing upbeat music and haunting (no pun intended) lyrics is jarring to just the right degree. This song is another great addition to your channel. Thank you for sharing it!

ANOTHER MASTERPIECE! The choice to use child-like voices confused me at first, but as I listened to the lyrics, it just made more and more sense. "I am better off shocked than sleeping in my grave." Wow. I've read about eletro-shock therapy, seen it in recordings (both fake/Hollywood and recordings of actual treatments), even talked to a few people who have had it in the past. None of them conveyed the feelings that are in this song. "I hope when I wake up I don't know who I am." You are a BRILLIANT song writer. Thank you for sharing your talent and your life with us.

Thank you for sharing your voice. It helps everyone in one way or another. I'm so happy to find this song from Therapist Reacts. We are all humans and your art is a bright light that shines in this world.

Oh this really scratches the brain, i love it! How do you only have 65 subs?!

Genious song

OMG THIS SONG IS SO GOOD!!

Wow! Just... Wow! That was not at all what I had expected when I saw the thumbnail - it was even better! "The temple belongs to you... you decide what goes inside... do what you want to, but you're losing either way. Listen to me, I'll never let you down..." Chilling. So much like the little voice in the back of my mind. Wow. Just wow.

Found you through @therapist reacts video. Thank you for your candor. You have a beautiful voice and I appreciate that such a heavy dark feeling is conveyed with light music - feels like hope. ❤

You made the right decision when changing the music to be played on piano. Thank you for the gentle description of how depression feels. I'm so glad I get to hear your music.

I’m amazed by your real talk. Thanks for sharing your experience and thoughts.

As someone who experiances severe depression, you express it so eloquently. It is like the words I wish I could say, and said beautifully.

I love this song! ♥

I really enjoyed listening to this, even tho the ending brought me some unpleasant questions. I hope you are doing fine Katie! Love your music! Much love <3

Thank you for giving the inner screams a voice

Hi Katie, your voice and music are beautiful (kind of angelic sounding, don't you think?). However, I'm really here to say thank you for raising awareness about mental health and the state of "care". Wishing you all the best 🥰

Thank you for doing this podcast - it adds so much to the meaning of the song. You are wonderful and so brave for sharing this with the world. There are people who need to hear your words (I am one of them).

This is beautiful, Katie, and I connect with it in so many ways. Thank you for sharing your art and your soul.

@TherapistReactsOfficial sent me over, and ye gods, what a song. So excited to see what you do in the future :)

You are amazing. Extremely talented. I'm going to watch very episode if these! :)

i Love your music, i want to listen to the song Suicide you sampled in this video, Where can i find it? Keep making beautiful music. You are super awesome.

This was an interesting listen. Glad you are doing well and have reflected positively on your difficult experiences of being sectioned. Btw You were recommended to me via Stuart who has the @TherapyInACTion channel.

Each word is a knife stroke cutting away at the mask I wear.

They say the most beautiful art always comes from pain. What you made with this song is more than beautiful, its honest and true and helps whoever listens to it. I hope more people will find this song and hope that you find your way in life and to cope with your feelings (I know how hard it is) I wish you the best!
