    Finally, someone gave "Poem" by Taproot an honest review on TH-cam. Coolness!!!!

      Right! What a great track. I haven't heard this in years

    "Poem" is the first song I ever heard from Taproot. This entire album is amazing. What stands out the most to me about Taproot is the vocals. I'm surprised you never mentioned the big, flawless harmonies. That's a signature Taproot thing and the thing I've loved the most about the band. I really like what the bassist plays in the chorus as well. And no, he doesn't scream more than this in most of their songs. The scream/growl thing he just really sprinkles on the songs here and there for "flavor."

      As a Taproot fan myself.... this is a great explanation.

    Awesome, you don't see to many Taproot reactions on YT for some reason. I recommend checking out "Calling" it's a step up from this song musically and vocally. Plus it makes an excellent ring tone for an ex to remind you not to pick up.

    Taproot is such an underrated band. The first few albums were really good imo. Thanks for doing this reaction. Really cool

    Great reaction! Taproot is sooo underrated. They have a different kind of sound that love. Thanks for reacting to them!

    Taproot is a solid band you may also like Trust Company, give their song Downfall a listen to

    • @cmudd9788
      @cmudd9788 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      I was thinking the exact same thing while watching. Poem and Downfall are 2 of my favorite songs from that era. Happy and Not Falling by Mudvayne are were some of my favorites as well.

  • @SirZapdos
    @SirZapdos 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    Awesome song. The singer, Stephen Richards, also guest stars on Linkin Park's second album in arguably the best song on the album, a remix of Pushing Me Away.

    Have to say this is one of my fav songs for its unique sound the singer has and how groovey it is

    Their song Calling is great too. Shows his vocal talent a bit more.

    I really liked Taproot in my late highschool years around 1999-2000. I saw them on 120 min on MTV. I emailed them after I got their address somehow and said I liked them and hope they get big. They sent me free a demo cassette with the song "Again & again" and a couple others on it, some bumper stickers and other stuff in a manilla envelope one day. Super cool.

  • @williamkramer9731
    @williamkramer9731 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    Loved their first 2 albums.... very reality based and relatable for many. Sadly, Layne Staley, a very obvious influence of there's, was supposed to appear on a very chains style song, but passed away.

  • @crow476

    if you want more Taproot their song "I" is fantastic. That song got me through some angsty teenage feelings!

    I'm glad to finally see someone react to this song. I've suggested it to other reactors but none have reacted to it. Based off this reaction I think you should check out some Mudvayne. Happy and Not Falling are some good ones.

    I'm old. I remember walking through Circuit City and seeing this on the TVs and losing my shit. Finally a piece of my music was on display in public, even if it was the softer side.

    Freshman year of high school Taproot was my first show.

  • @ChrisSimokat
    @ChrisSimokat 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    It was neat to see when you realized the poem is the song itself. The house abandoned because it was burnt out (you also see scorch marks when the character steps out at the end) and the couple making out's bodies are covered in soot (not ink) with their sweat a la "In case of fire..."

  • @SmaugUKA
    @SmaugUKA 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    One thing you'll notice if you listen to more Taproot is Stephan uses that BREAK! line a lot in their music to designate the Breakdown. Almost like a trademark of his. It's almost a catchphrase with some Taproot fans.

  • @BlehgarySD
    @BlehgarySD 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

  • @Sufferingvictor
    @Sufferingvictor 20 วันที่ผ่านมา

    I agree with you about the meaning. It being a family at a table tho, im thinking its possibly him breaking ties with either his family or some ppl close to him like friends or maybe roommates, bc he realized they're too toxic for him and he finally got out.

  • @BigEvil13
    @BigEvil13 27 วันที่ผ่านมา

    It's about escapism. Using poetry as a third person letter to yourself. It's about breaking through the horrible and neglectful upbringing he was going through to break the cycle of that lifestyle.

  • @rickyiglesias5384
    @rickyiglesias5384 หลายเดือนก่อน

    yeah I've given up analyzing what's "going on" in a music video. i just watch and listen .lol. one of the best nu-metal songs of all time here.

  • @jameswarner5809
    @jameswarner5809 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

    My favourite Taproot track is Fault which is also punctuated with growls. Their first album was good, the second (from which Poem and Fault come) was great, the third was good, then things went downhill.

    I Suggest you to watch:
    *FILTER - WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE*
    It's sound so Magical & Nostalgic, even though you never heard of them. Their Lead Singer is *Chester Bennington* ( Lead Singer of *Linkin Park* ) Biggest Influence on Scream Vocal 🤘🏻

    Como que la canción y el vídeo musical de ésta banda representa que la poesía no siempre puede hacer que tengas una buena vida, y que no hará que regreses con el amor de tu vida.

    She, Everything I Said Was True, and The Everlasting are other great Taproot songs.
    Also, if you want to delve further into some oddly popular early to mid 2000s alt rock, check out TRUSTcompany - Downfall, AFI - Miss Murder, or Hawthorne Heights - Ohio is For Lovers.

  • @PokeKid1ge1co1
    @PokeKid1ge1co1 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Its interesting you brought up a few things but I am not sure you quite connected the dots the I think the artist was trying to convey. You mentioned "everyone's covered in ink" thinking it was in reference to the song being a poem and that the house looked abandoned. My interpretation is this. The person writing the poem in the paper in anger is him before he is able to move on. It is the poem that allows him to breathe and eventually move on because everyone and everything around him has been burned down by the people he had around him. Its not ink they are covered in. It is ash and the house is not just abandoned it is burned and its not until he is able to get this poem out that he is able to move out on his own.
