Therapist reacts to a 45 by Shinedown

- Therapist analyzes the lyrics to 45 by Shinedown to discuss the value of shifting your anger away from what happened and toward the negative things that anger or situation makes you want to do. Shifting your anger toward something that can actually change is a more powerful action instead of focusing the anger on the past which can create a sense of hopelessness.

“A lot of us died a long time ago no one could tell because there wasn’t any blood” I feel this quote
where did you find this. i agree with you, so so much
Jesus fuck
Even if the blood was there people are so stuck on them selves they wouldn’t see it anyway .. even if walking thro it
@@jimhaga9553 its the lyrics of the song
@@nero756this is def not the lyrics to this song. Like what?
I would recommend going down the shinedown rabbit hole. How they started and who Brent was. And how he came out of this and still creates real music today for the winning team. He's a hero
And in case it gets missed, which is easy to overlook, is be sure and take the branch of Shinedown that is Smith and Myers. Brent's story is such a perfect and epic journey for any therapist to see and potentially use to show that here is someone who not only hit bottom, but stayed there and then not only climbed thier way out but decided to climb the mountain that was next to the hole. Especially how today his is so open and often discusses his continuing mental health struggles. She could probably even land an interview or long format conversation. He's a living example of everything is possible.
His story is absolutely amazing! They’ve been talking about mental health in their songs their entire career. Jump down the rabbit hole and you won’t be sorry you did. He and Zach were recently on Beet Kreicher’s podcast Bertcast and they talk about it.
Agree
I went through hell on the wards in the nursing home in 2020. The only thing that really helped me heal was seeing them live in baton rouge. That did more than I could ask for, I was alive and not gone but I did try.
Crow and the butterfly
This entire era of music was intense, there just seemed to be so much sadness, sorrow, and hopelessness. It fit really well with a whole generation of kids who felt like they'll truly never have a place in the world, and no one knew what their future was going to look like, not to mention, most kids who listened to this style of music were the "weird" kids so your only escape was music since school and often home weren't safe spaces. This is what made bands like Slipknot, Linkin Park, Shinedown, Hoobastank, Incubus, Korn, Tool, Evanescence, etc... so popular, they all seemed to encapsulate that loneliness and fear we were all feeling at such a young age. This is the reason why my musical tastes haven't really modernized because there's really nothing modern that I feel really resonates with me much like the metal and rock from the early 2000's.
I feel this, I do get into newer music and other music here and there. But every time, I always come back to the early 2000s.
You really hit the nail on the head with this comment. Felt lost then, still feel lost now but it feels somewhat like a blessing to have had these bands and this music to lean on, then and now.
You forgot A Perfect Circle, Nine Inch Nails, Stone Sour….. ✊ I miss those days
seether
I agree. I grew up in the 1990s and early 2000s and used music as my therapy. I just thank God our generation didn't grow up with social media. I couldn't image how much harder that would have been.
There's a version of this song where at the very end, he whispers "but I'm still alive" and it radically changes the song and makes it all so beautiful and encouraging.
i wanna find that version, id also recommend the acoustic version

@@HadesRising99 Its the acoustic version from Kansas City.
th-cam.com/video/mkBCosrxF5Q/w-d-xo.html
thats so frikkin cool!!
The fact that he wrote the song on the wallpaper of his hotel room and how this song literally saved him just adds a whole extra level to it.
"what a shame" will probably give you chills and tears
I was looking for this one
Played it at my twin brothers funeral. Kentucky Deluxe and Marlboro Reds. Too many commonalities in the song. The whole album was the shit. Call Me gets at Me, too
And Save Me
If this is first reaction to shinedown welcome to the worm hole as you will not stop listening to them
💯!
This is probably Shinedowns saddest song. But it is also a banger. Great analysis.
What a shame is a little worse.
"45"
"What a shame"
"Save me"
"Crow and the Butterfly"
"Call me"
And of course "Second Chance"
These are the songs that have always gotten to me.
There is a live version of this song, I believe from Kansas City. Brent Smith explains the origin of this song. It's a message that many need to hear.
Yep. From the Somewhere in the Stratosphere double live release
Kansas City 2003 I believe. Has a different ending as well.
Problably my favorite version of it. Just love that entire show! His voice really shines when it's acoustic.
Came to say that!
I was hoping someone brought this up! Really really moving when and how he explained the song. Complete silence in the audience. This video here with Taylor brought me to tears
Shinedown’s music, more often than not, will elicit an emotional response. Brent Smith does a masterful job of conveying the emotion of the song through his voice.
then brent smith got sober and now makes the most uplifting songs... definetly one of my favorite bands
Thank you
More shinedown! Also Brent (the lead singer) shared one of your videos on the band Facebook a week or so ago!
That's how I heard about this channel/foundation and what they're doing. I'm all about it! I requested more Shinedown since their platform IS mental health
It was always the breath at the end that got me. Cause I’ve been there. That breath on the other side of deciding not to leave. That always put a pit in my gut..
The acoustic version of this song is so powerful, would highly recommend giving it a listen!
That song will never NOT get me in the heart 😢❤
Shinedown is so good, and has gotten me through everything from depression, divorce, military deployment. They have become a part of my life since Leave A Whisper and has never stopped. I think you will have a lot of options going down the Shinedown rabbit hole, and it’s a great one.
It's amazing how this band evolved and changed over the years this band really can make you feel something, absolutely incredible live as well
Everyone is free to interpret the song how they want to, through their own filters. I find it therapeutic and heartening.
As a veteran of a couple of tours in Iraq… I couldn’t have said it better. Thank you for this.
Shinedown has a huge catalog to choose from.
An often overlooked song is Burning Bright (from the same album as 45).
More Shinedown, please
Burning Bright is my all time fav.
such a good song
And, Breath. It's such a good song!❤
One of my favorites!
Listen to atmosphere and atmosphere demo, very different but both are amazing
I remember when this hit the radio waves. It had quite the impact. Beautiful and tragic.
I was 16 when this song first came out. I won't ever forget hearing it on Rock 108 for the first time. It, along with Down With The Sickness by Disturbed, was responsible for me finding rock/metal music and getting into the genre. The lyrics spoke to me as I didn't have a great childhood at school. The song itself was powerful and I quickly became a Shinedown fan. It's one of the songs I'll still turn to when I start to feeling depressed or unable to see the brighter side.
Shinedown, Disturbed, Godsmack, A Perfect Circle, Metallica, Linkin Park, Three Days Grace, Killswitch Engage. They're all who I turned to in my mid-to-late teens to get me through some of my toughest days. And they're still who I turn to now in my mid-to-late 30s, twenty years later, to get me through tough days.
I think you're just me from the past. I'm that kid now. the ONLY band I don't hear on a regular basis there is killswitch engage.
I hope you keep rocking on. the bands are comprised of beautiful souls, who truly mean the best for anyone they're talking to.
although now I'm curious if you listened to SOAD-either way, I am happy to see people rocking out the feels. hope you are having a wonderful time in the music!
You forgot Tool, Korn, Nine Inch nails ✊
@@kristenharrison9279 you know, those are also amazing! I 100% agree with you they are amazing. slipknot I've recently been listening too as well! rock on my friend.
As someone who suffers from depression, Shinedown is my go-to to get my head right. These songs help take away the pain of dealing with the struggles of life and after a failed attempt with a 357 revolver when I was 15 I have vowed to never do it again and Shinedown helps with that
A friend told me awhile ago that anger,bitterness,and rage stem from being hurt. And if we identify what hurt us then we can deal with the hurt and move past it. That has actually brought so much healing to my life.
My heart goes out to you. And anyone feeling sorrow , grief , hopeless… my heart aches for everyone
Shinedown are awesome? You should really try "A Symptom Of Being Human" that hits in the feels but in a good way.
A Symptom of Being Human is an amazing song! I would love to see her reaction to it.
I love this song❤
That and "Daylight" are incredible songs from that album.
This song is hauntingly beautiful and it resonates so much with me and how i grew up, im getting better mentally but songs like these give me a place to vent and im grateful they exist
I've spent years on the edge, sometimes music like this is the only thing that gets me through it. It's the only way I'm heard. It's important.
Stay strong friend, you are not alone. I spent 20 years living on that edge, stumbling on the brink and asking myself why I don't give in to the darker impulses.
Music has been my therapist through it all. I throw my headphones on, crank the volume and push forward.
It gets better. Life ain't perfect but it does get better. Keep jamming out and pushing forward, you've got this.
Glad your still here friend...I was raised in an abusive up bringing as a child and it has damaged me into adulthood but God, music and my family has gotten me through most of my issues..
Ive seen them live twice and knowing how close we were to not having brent around to make his amazing music is insane. Brent and the rest of the band are all amazing people and i love that they have stuck by one another and have always used their platform to help and empower people especially those who are struggling or have struggled. Thank you shinedown for every song yall have blessed us with
Your videos are a highlight to my day. I struggle with severe depression and have had thoughts. Thank you for your positive outlook!
Love your videos. Love the way you break things down. I'm dealing with alot of struggles just like everyone. You make me think.
I love the message you're trying to bring to this song. This song has been around for nearly 20 years and it still gets me riled up, it still drives up memories from high school driving around alone screaming this song in my car because I had no one that I felt could relate to what I was going through. Shinedown has helped so many millennials get through so much. We owe them. ❤️❤️
I love what you do . Please keep doing this. It will reach people that need it.
Shinedown is amazing. Every freaking song they made is incredible in my book. Love the song, Second Chance. There's lots of meaning there!❤
You're really good at this. I've probably watched all of your videos. Thank you for sharing your insight.
The sign of relief at the end of the song gets me every time. I work in mental health and am working toward my MSW to be an addiction counselor for people with severe mental illness and am so excited to find your channel. This is great!
You just sent chills down my spine with your 😢 take of th song
I love your reactions.. always brilliant, insightful, and HELPFUL! Keep it up!
I have been listening to them since the Jacksonville days. This song helped me through my dark times then and now. It's a blessing to see someone else's reaction to them. Congrats on finding a band that will have you in tears one minute and raging with joy the next.
Love that you just go right into the video. Gonna check your other videos after this.
Just discovered this channel recently and I love what you are doing. I have struggled with depression and suicidal thoughts for most of my life, someone like you who is doing so much to help people is amazing. As for Shinedown, this band has pulled me back off the ledge more times than I can count. This song in particular has literally saved my life on many dark nights because I use it just like you suggested. I listen to 45 and I get angry at the thoughts and what they make me think of doing, and that is always the first step away from the ledge. Thank you again so much Taylor, you are truly amazing.
Thank you for your as usual on spot and amazing analysis
This song came out about the time I went through my divorce, their music helped me get through that trauma.
The end of that one always gets me. He’s being so honest and open
This is why so many people love Shinedown. We feel the lyrics in our souls. They got me through some of my darkest moments.
I seen Disturbed live this year and they preformed " reason to fight" it was incredible, anyone struggling just know people WILL miss you. Thank you for the video Ma'am.
I needed this.
My condolences to you and the family of your lost friend. I genuinely hope you've managed to find your peace.
One of my favorite song when I was younger. Nice to see you reacting to this!
Dear lord, I need a therapist like you! This video hit me right in the feels.
I mentioned to my therapist how much I enjoyed this series and they were pretty psyched to hear about this. I love your content. It made me donate to the fundraiser.
I like how u interpret this,,,this song hits home to me every time I hear it
As someone who is currently struggling, your videos are a comfort
Thank you for this breakdown. Much needed...
Thank you for that last bit. You saved a life.
Ive heard this song countless times but never been in a place to feel it like this until now. I am feeling this big time. And how you are analysing it too...
Had me all in my feels and shid damn, combinations of anger and regret and angry that there is regret and regret that there is anger
This was the 1st song released by Shinedown and I heard it over 20 years ago. I'm now 51 and I've been a fan ever since I first heard this! And this video just gave me the same chills as it did 20 years ago! Thank you!
Loved this track and your analysis of it. Love the pivot in the final chorus
I’ve heard this song a million times. I’ve seen them live 3 times. Your initial reaction made this song brand new for new. And this is one of my favorite bands; hands down.
In a concert Shawn explained that 45 did not reference a gun.It was a metafor of the world and everythings its gonna give you take away from you.
Who is Shawn?
LOVE! LOVE! LOVE THAT YOU ARE UTILIZING THIS PLATFORM FOR RAISING FUNDS FOR SERVING THISE WITH MH/SUD! Kudos to you young lady!!❤❤❤
Would listen to this tune when it first came out and years later still listening. No one does know or has a clue or cares. The problem is you can’t change some pain and illness. If I didn’t wake up tomorrow it wouldn’t really matter. Even to people I’ve loved and helped. You always have to be fine ❤ Thanks as always
You're very helpful in putting a different voice in my head. ily.
When I heard this song for the first time, I said to myself and my friends…this band is gonna take off. Brent Smith’s voice is so made for iconic rock music. It’s one of the best voices in the genre.
I played this song more than I'd like to admit when I was younger in that song era but I'm still here, I had a heart attack 6weeks ago, I'm only 38 & it truly made me see just how precious life really is🙏🏻
I love this song! Shinedown are such a fantastic group, all of their albums are fabulous!
I came for a reaction video and left with actionable advice. Subscribed. Thank you!
There’s a lot of people that have been hurt, most don’t know how to deal with it, but are also too stubborn to authenticate their problems or pain. It’s not easy! I’m struggling with this issue with people that I love and have lost, just keep fighting!
Thank you for talking about this. The day before I got sober this was exactly my situation. I got lucky the gun didn’t go off and I got help. Now I help others get sober and am pursuing a career in doing it professionally. Every life is worth saving whether we can see it in ourselves or not.
Love your analysis, and it bears to be said that there has to be a willingness to do so for change. As mental health professionals we have to recognize signs that will encourage growth and when to admit to clients when there is more work to be done before healing and acceptance can happen. Psychoanalysis is not a party trick or a mystical art, it is a jigsaw puzzle that you work together to find the pieces. Our experience and ability to look out for triggers or traumas present a safe environment in which to grow and succeed. Again thank you for the insights into your personal experiences!
Please more Shinedown one of the best rock groups ever
Can't thank enough for this video. Both the song and you have perfectly expressed what I'm going through now
What a shame is a heart wrenching song. By far my favorite. But there is also a symptom of being human, get up, monsters, state of my head. Listen to some of brent smiths interviews about how some of the songs come about. They have been dealing with mental health issues from the beginning
Interesting that you heard "Anger" in the last section. I've always heard it as more "Screaming into the void"... a desperate attempt at catharsis when there is no apparent solution to the problems. But I wouldn't equivocate that with anger. When you get to that point, anger is in the rearview mirror, you're well beyond it. This is the point of desperation for relief in any form. To my ear, this is more a scream of reluctant resignation. I suppose there's no right or wrong interpretation of art, I just hear it a bit differently.
I never had a sister. You are now my TH-cam sister. I love what you are doing…it helps me. Thank you
I love Shinedown. This episode hit me. I was diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder a decade ago. I've been dead for years inside just managing each day. Meds didn't help. I also found out my T levels are extremely low. Have sleep apnea and feel like a zombie at times. I have been screaming for years Wishing I were dead but I have a family and refuse to go out that way. I am not staring down the barrel of a 45 but having to face the fact that i will be living the rest of my life as a hallow shell of what I used to be.
From djstarion: @tylerwright8328 Hello!
I read this and there's definitely some wins here, including figuring out what's going on, because that can be SUCH a hard step for anyone.
Have you tried talking to your doctor about the T levels (I'm assuming testosterone?) and the sleep apnea. Low quality sleep coupled with low test can have a HUGE impact on your mental health, and I would actually go that route to try and get yourself out of that hallow-ness. Maintaining and improving physical things in your body can definitely help you mentally.
I remember Brent saying that staring down the barrel of a 45 was a way of looking and what the world is throwing at you, and how to overcome it. I know you can overcome it too. It's just about finding the right direction.
From Shan: @tylerwright8328 Hi Friend,
Thank you for sharing and opening up. I'm sorry to hear about how you have been feeling over the years. I know you have been going through a lot and I understand how drained and empty you must feel from it all and for how long it has persisted. I do want to take a moment to recognize and acknowledge your strength and resilience. You have kept pushing and are still pushing through it all, one day at a time. That alone is something to be proud of, because it is not easy and it takes a lot.
I think that though you have tried some methods, such as meds, that have not worked, there is still other resources out there that can be tapped into or tried that could hopefully provide even a bit of relief for how you have been feeling so that you don't have to continue feeling like a hollow shell. The thing with mental health is that everyone's experience is different which also means everyone's journey to mental wellness is different as also. Different resources, methods, and combinations of efforts work for different people. Of course, I'm not sure of everything that you have done or tried throughout the span of time since you were diagnosed, I just want to try and be even a little encouraging that there is still something out there can be of help to how you are feeling. It just might take a little extra time to find it.
Also, like @djstarion mentioned, physical health plays a part in how we feel mentally. And the things you mentioned such as low T levels and lack of sleep can really intensify feelings/symptoms of depression as well. So maybe some physical relief from these things can provide some mental relief as well.
No matter what, I hope you are able to find some relief soon and can slowly begin to reconnect with yourself and who you used to be. :white_heart:
From Micro: @tylerwright8328 Hang in there, friend. As a fellow buddy with clinical depression, I feel this with you. Just his constant numbness, emptiness and average mood that makes life seem so bland. It's hard to keep on finding reasons to push through when nothing seems exciting or tasteful anymore.
Sometimes though, we might be hit by a golden nugget of beauty. It may not be a permanent state of joy, also not something fundamentally transformative, but it shows us how much life *can* be beautiful at times and hide treasures of joy. To me personally, it helps a little bit to intentionally turn down the thoughts that make me reflect on life in general and loses me into deep philosophical questioning. I feel less depressed when I feel *alive*, and this spark is one I can find - sometimes - by using my five senses and setting an intention to a moment. Could it be the smile of someone I love, the warm sun on my skin during summer evenings, the breeze when I place my hand out of a window while driving, the perfume of my favorite coffee... it's all small, insignificant things on appearance. But sometimes it can turn out to reveal itself as a beautiful stillness in the midst of chaos, for the time that it lasts. :heart:
One of my favorite songs of all time.
Glad this popped up on my recommendations. Subscribing
This was my ringtone from a friend for a very long time. The reminder that I've been that way for that many years .. I'm simply glad I haven't yet.
You ever get a chance to see shinedown live they are fantastic. The production value is top notch.
Sitting here crying watching this knowing I've fought through so many thoughts about ending it all, yet still wishing it all was over. The struggle continues but I'm so tired. I won't give up but some days I want to so bad
Keep fighting friend. The world is a better place with you in it. Even. when it is hard to believe.
I can tell you as a suicide survivor that chriskinds is correct. It is a better place with you here. Find someone, doesn't have to be a professional, you trust but will also tell you with no bs attached to talk to. Those feelings won't go away overnight unfortunately but they will pass I promise
From Lyss: @ionystherogue5627 Hey there friend,
First off, I just want to say thank you for being open with us here, we appreciate it and don’t take it for granted.. I believe that sharing how you feel, and what you have been through, can help others feel less alone. Once again, thank you so much.
You are not alone in this fight my friend. I have been there, crying on my bathroom floor, bedroom floor, in my car, just thinking about how much I wanted to die. It gets hard. Emotions build up, what we have been through can be too much at times. Some days I just ask myself why am I still here? I ask myself why I haven’t killed myself yet. I appreciate you for sharing what you have felt, as it has made me feel less alone… thank you.
I am so proud of you for staying, for fighting. You are so strong and brave. I hope you continue to stay.
Life is tiring, the world is tiring. I totally feel you, some days it’s just like that last thing happens and it is the last straw, it makes you think again like why am I still here. Please know you are not alone in how you feel, the thoughts you have had, or what you have been through. Many, including myself are on a similar page to you; I try to remind myself that there have been many in the place, or headspace I am in now, and they are now living proof that it gets better. In the moment it can be so daunting, and scary; it can feel like nothing will get better… in those times I try to remind myself of those where it did get better, where things changed, where things didn’t stay terrible. I think that can be of assistance to me in the moment, to help ground myself, bring myself back down to earth, to the current moment.
I am proud of you for not giving up.
I you have come so far, that is something to remember. You may be in a bad moment, but think of the other bad moments you have been in before this- and how you overcame them, how you stayed even though it was hard, even though you didn’t want to.
In the moment I know this will be hard to accept, as I have been there myself, trying to remind myself- things get better… it takes time and work, but it does get better.
You have come so far my friend, and that is something to remember, to praise yourself for. You are doing amazing. It is hard to see the light at the end of a tunnel, but my friend it is there. Please know that we are always here for you, to listen, or to be a shoulder to lean on. You can always post on the heart support forum, and we will be there for you.
Take it slow, take it easy.
Sending love,
Lys
Always hope!
This song is a cry for help. Great song with a true feeling that some feel. It really is an abyss. I have done that stare. And for all that couldn’t stop it.
Sorry for your loss, my condolences, as a former MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONAL, former "Suicide Survivor," and Hard Rock, Heavy Metal music lover, sounds like your friend loved the band and this song for a good reason, and had a plan for a long time
This song drums up a lot of feelings and memories...
Before watching, I need to thank you for reacting to this song, which has been very important in my life for a long time. ❤
I came across your page while searching for Tool reaction videos a while back. It has become one of my favorites. My brother/cousin took his life 21 years ago, at the age of 17. Everyday I saw him with a smile on his face never thought he was going through whatever he was going through. This song always reminds me of him. To this day I have not forgiven him for the pain that he caused me. Hopefully someday I will.
From Micro: @unie911 How you feel makes sense, my friend. You are not alone. www.loom.com/share/26f49fefd17e4083b5bf9a2b20157e8e
This is actually one of my favorite songs and I love your react to it. It's also very cathartic when you're driving down the road and you've got this song on super loud and you got the windows down and you can just sing along with it as loud as you want. This definitely isn't one of those earbuds at Walmart kind of songs. This is excellent!
This channel has helped me put into words why some songs resonate with me more than others and has given me more tools to navigate my struggle so thank you first off. Second, I'd like to hear your thoughts on Bother by Stone Sour
your the first person i have ever seen point out the end of this song, the last minute of this song is when i lost it after a attempt on my own life i was solid through this song until the end when i heard him scream sing "45" broke me in places i didn't know existed inside myself, im so glad someone else finally pointed it out
This song was on repeat for about a year after I came back stateside it feels like a lifetime ago.
You have an open mind and good understanding we all have our problems I k ow I have mine and most of mine was inflicted from others
Hearing this song as coming of age teen in 2004. It still hits hard. It was perfect. It is perfect.
As a Shinedown fan I am feeling so bad for the therapist right now. Gee let's have a very empathetic caring person with a high EQ listen to the raging mind of someone with those thoughts and feelings. What can happen? Especially when she had a friend who succumbed to the darkness... What can go wrong? My sympathies.
To listen to these songs from the late 90's early 2000's now looking back A lot of us were depressed teenagers, but look at us now, out here living life. Music saved a lot of our souls...
Definitely go down the Shinedown rabbit hole they are amazing ❤
I always felt Shinedown desves more recognition than the get. Brent's voice always gives me chills.
Brent Smith is a vocal genius his inflection and octave range are incomparable to anyone today.
I really wish I had caught that switch up years ago. The perspective of this song as a rallying cry may have helped prevent both of my own attempts, and perhaps even helped some friends along the way. Thank you.
