Politics aside, metal has always been about confronting the evils of the world. About grabbing the nearest torch and pushing back against the darkness. About forging strength in the fires of adversity. Throw up the horns for those who fight for their homeland, for those forced to leave their lives behind, and for the artists who give voice to their plight! 🤘
She wrote the lyrics from the view of a 14 year old witnessing the ravages of war, and how hard it is to understand what is happening, Absolutely brilliant.
The song was inspired by the events of 2014, when Tati was 27. They were touring and wanted to return home but the conflict that started around 2013 in the Ukraine stopped them. When they did manage to get back to Donestsk, where they had lived since they were children, the band feared for Tati's safety and got her to move to a city by the Polish border.
Thank you for covering this, Elizabeth! I’m from the Eastern part of Ukraine myself and I can relate a lot to this song. I had to relocate the second time in 8 years.
Hallo from Austria, we HAVE to be neutral, but just to state it : We are on your side ! Please be safe - if you can. I too hope this is over soon , as my anxiety is through the roof, we are not able to do S#!t, but we are still in the middle of Europe, just 1594 km or so from your capital city !
Your interview with Tatiana is still the one I recommend the most. The atmosphere was just so relaxed and friendly, that even Tatiana, who is usually kinda on the edge in interviews, seemed to be fully relaxed. It was really sweet to see that. I really hope the boys will stay safe, as they're still in Kyiv.
Based on latest news Kyiv is relaitively safe and will be. Ukrainian counterattack pushed back russian forces so they are too far to hit the capital city with their artillery. Russian don't have enough reserve forces to continue offensive on Kyiv. They are most probably preparing to launch a second wave of their forces within few days, but it will be focused on south-east Ukraine.
Was going to request a reaction for another artist. Not today, not on this one. Good choice Elizabeth. Timely and sincere. Cannot wait to see the whole episode. Prayers to Ukraine.
Another one that brings me to tears with this band and the circumstances they've endured is the song "retrospection" I'd highly request that one too, plus hearing Tatiana sing in Ukrainian is achingly beautiful
Also, if you want to hear her tear it up in their native language, I highly recommend the song “ Желаю, значит получу” from the album Cloud Factory. 🤘😎🤘
My daughter loves unicorns. 🦄 I can’t imagine the feeling of that being stripped away by bullets, bombs, and invading soldiers. I love this band. Preordered a peace to Ukraine tshirt from them at the beginning of the month. I look forward to wearing that proudly. 🇺🇦
Gandalf said it best “Some believe it is only great power that can hold evil in check, but that is not what I have found. It is the small everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay. Small acts of kindness and love."
Shoutout to sister Tatiana and the brothers Eugene, Roman, Vlad, Sasha, the Dmitrys, Morton and everyone else involved with Jinjer along with all of Ukraine and the rest of the world going through a time of war right now. The old roses are dying away and with them, the thorns of negativity 🙏🏻💜
So looking forward to this song having spent much of 2021 in Ukraine, based in Odessa. Ukraine has a very special place in my heart. The people were wonderful and only desired the same as every free people. Peace, prosperity and to provide for their families. Do not confuse the misdeeds of governments and oligarchs with people. The people of Ukraine deserve our prayers and support.
Likewise the young Russian kids being sent to die in service of their leader's ego. The price for the misdeeds of the powerful is paid by the powerless.
@@christophercheck1590 Amen to that! Home is not a building Home is liberty A place where memories live In prosperity and peace I came back home so I want my home back I came back home so I want my home back Don't you leave us homeless! Don't you leave us homeless! Homeless homeless
@@christophercheck1590 That was true in the early days of the war, with the hungry and confused soldiers who surrendered to anyone they could find. Since then russia has taken to artillery and rocket attacks on obvious and unmistakable civilian targets, and there is no way for the russians to plead ignorance. I appreciate your empathy, but there will be terrible things done to those russians who are captured now. And it will be hard to condemn the soldiers who respond that way. Peace for Ukraine.
@@danielblair2673 , I've seen Max Cavalera with Soulfly numerous times. Incredible energy, I've seen mosh pits instantly dissolve as arenas/stadiums begin to move in complete unison.
I was looking at your headphones and while I know it's possibly the largest mover of musical gear and instruments, I love that your link is to Sweetwater. Sweetwater is about 30min down the road from me. Been there many time (it's a Disneyland for musicians and I've got friends in high places there.
It's kinda crazy, Elizabeth, that aside from everything else that is SO AMAZING about you as a human being, I can also listen to you speak (as a guy with very severe ADD) about these things I know very little about--in this case pitch, vocal folds, etc--and feel not not only like I actually understand what you're teaching me and that I care about learning, but also that YOU care that I'm able to understand, too. You truly are gifted in so many incredible ways.
I'm so with you. Jinjer is such an awesome band🤘.... Tatiana is an incredible singer🤩, the band on point☺.... I think it's so awesome that you totally fell in love with this band.... and especially how you unconsciously sing along to some lines hahah - love it🤘
The Lyrics :( ... What is this? What is this mess? What's that noise? Is this a death sentence? Terrifying silhouettes Rising over the motherland Are those the fireworks? No, it's a military quirk Is it a mermaid singing? No, it's a siren screaming Is it an angel watching over us? It's an air-fighter making a fuss Is it a unicorn galloping down the street? No, those are soldiers' boots marching to the beat Marching to the beat Is it an angel watching over us? Is it an air-fighter making a fuss? Why is this party looking so bizarre? A party? No, this is W.A.R My darling, did we wake up like this? Isolated bodies in a boudoir of helplessness A bullet is an early bird, a midnight owl Morning greetings of a rooster are replaced With fire in a hole, fire in a hole My dear, do we have to go to sleep like that? With a soothing cocktail and the hundredth cigarette Morning greetings of a rooster are replaced With fire in a hole Our beds are cold As cold as basement floor Our beds are cold As cold as basement floor This house is not our shelter anymore This house is not our shelter anymore This house is not our shelter anymore Anymore Home is not a building Home is liberty A place where memories live In prosperity and peace I came back home so I want my home back I came back home so I want my home back Don't you leave us homeless Don't you leave us homeless Homeless, homeless genius.com/Jinjer-home-back-lyrics
Befor I even watch this video, thank you for doing this, only for me (I know you did). Jinjer and the people of Ukraine deserve our support. Let’s get to it!
We booked an arbnb outside kyiv with a family who told us tanks were rolling by their home when they received notice of our booking... and it made all the difference that they werent alone in their crisis. We cried.
Hey Elizabeth, its been too long and we need more Jinjer. I Speak Astronomy(OMV) or Wallflower(OMV) you will love them both. Thank you for everything you bring to us!
Your face when it changed to the "soldiers marching to the beat" echoes mine when I first saw this video. Also, what hit me was the smooth jazz with the dark lyrics (rooster calls replaced by "Fire in a hole") . Makes me shudder everytime.
Thank you for this awesome reaction. First time I heard this song about a year ago it brought me to tears knowing what happened to them back in 2014. Only the second metal song to ever make me cry. First being "Tears of a Clown" by Iron Maiden, a song about the late Robin Williams.
I'm not crying, you're crying.... I love this entire band, got to see them live in December in New Orleans and Tatiana's ability to recreate her sound live is just amazing. They are one of the few bands that I can honestly say sound just as good, if not better, live.
I bought one of their "Home Back" donation shirts when they first announced them. It's the least I could do. It's a preorder, so I can't wait for it to get here!
Jinjer is always win. Every member of that band has honed their craft so well. Tati is just metal vocalist master work, which she wouldn't be limited just to metal if she didn't want, she has some of the most beautiful cleans I have ever heard.
Thankfully tatiana is safe in the usa with her American husband but im worried for the boys in the band and of course the innocent Ukrainian people being stuck there in this senseless war.great reaction Elizabeth as usual 👍🏻🤘🏻🇺🇦
@@H4UNTED85 they are married.straight from tatiana’s mouth .theres also a picture after the wedding and im sure ive seen them in a picture for wedding photos.
Thank you for doing this. Tatiana is indeed a great vocalist, and the entire band is really tight. I have colleagues in Ukraine who have decided not to leave but fight. No idea if they are still alive. Never had I thought we would do this shit in Europe again. Love and peace from Germany 🖤🖖🤘
Thank you for the excellent analysis. I have been a Jinjer fan for a log time. You are giving me a deeper understanding of why Tatis vocals are so mindblowingly amazing, and why her voice needs Vlad, Roman and Eugene to get the power behind their music and lyrics. Thank you for sharing the link to the Jinjer merch campaign.
6:45 As you've said, music is about feeling something, it can be happiness and the will to dance, but can also be sadness, depression, anger, hatred, and the will to scream in suffering, people that listen to metal, specially 2000- and modern metal, often fall in love with harsh vocals beacause even if we want, but can't scream in real life for some reason, the feeling we get by listening to harsh vocals do the job for us, and very often makes we relief our own pain
This song feels highly relevant, and when the tea party shifts from a jazzy almost childish vibe in to a creepy mad hatter vibe it really hits me hard because I can't help but think of the kids being affected by wars like the one going on right now in Ukraine 💔☮️🇺🇦
Yeah, I think the point was to drive home the surreal experience of trying to live a normal life when your country has turned into a war zone, and it's super effective at communicating that idea.
I saw them live back in December, and this number took the house down. So much energy. And none of us knew what was coming in 2 months. Eugene sent a video from Kyiv a few weeks back. I hope the guys are okay. I also love the subtlety of that 7/8 bit. They do it in "Pisces," too, where they're in that angular time, but you don't notice at first because they make it feel smooth.
Seeing this made me realise that one of the things I like about reaction videos is having the ability to experience something the first time, although vicariously. Add to that the anticipation for specific parts of a song, and it elevates it so much. Last a good/skilled person to do reaction and analysis is paramount, and I like your ability to convey both emotion and very good insights.
This is what I've been waiting for since I joined TH-cam. Actually got a lump in my throat listening and watching. Thank you Elizabeth. You are my favourite TH-camr, content creator, reactor. Always looking forward to your videos.
Tatiana has on numerous interviews, including the Tea Time one with Elizabeth, expressed her influence and credited Guano Apes singer Sandra Nasic and how she sang to her stuff and developed. Their styles are so similar. Sandra was a huge influence on so many female metal singers. Guano Apes were biggest in the 90's. There are also some reggae and numerous genre influences with Guano Apes as there is with Jinjer. I often hear so many similarities.
You have become soooo much better in including the effects (emotional) that the videos create. Not a day passes where we can't improve ourselves. Much Love to you and Ukraine 🌻🌻🌻💙💛💙
This has been my favorite display of Jinjers skill set since they released it. Nowadays it's so hard for me to watch it with out feeling some kind of way, mostly heartbroken for them and the rest of the people suffering in Ukraine. I'm so happy you chose to give it a listen.
This song was written 3-4 years ago. When this is shit is all over, hopefully soon, I just can't imagine what kind of songs are going to come out of it. Hope everyone stays safe. Also, with how awesome Tati is, there is never enough credit given to every band member and how great they are.
That jazzy interlude has a "Girl from Ipanema" vibe. I like the irony of it. SOAD has a gift for that as well. Lyrically this song is a gut punch. Some really sinister growling which drives the point home (no pun intended). Heavy
YESS FINALLY!!! I have been waiting for this one. One of my favorite songs and just the right time to listen to it. This song hits me hard every time. I really like to listen to it but i am only rarely able to keep myself from crying. Her low vocal in the end are both brutal and the most impressive vocal performance i have ever seen from a woman ever. Tatiana is a goddess in my book.
Thank you! I cannot get over how brilliant some of the lyrics are in conveying feelings of civilians suddenly caught in a warzone. 'Bullet is an early bird, midnight owl.'
just so you know, those of us that care, can read your shirt. and we very much feel it's the shirt an opera singer sharing insight and an appreciation for the passion metal can express should be wearing. much love
Finally! I am waiting impatient for another reaction/analysis of this talent and amazing band, Is muy favourite, this song Is a message ti te world for see the war of the correct form, only pain and surffer. All the support fron Colombia 🇨🇴

I think you described harsh vocals perfectly. There are times when clean singing just can't deliver the emotional impact that harsh vocals can.
Unfortunately, "this house is not a shelter anymore" is the harsh reality for millions of ukrainians today. 😢

Thanks to US taxpayers funding yet another military excursion. Death to the great satan.
Epic reaction for an epic song.

@@swojaczek "will be" is a statement you can't back up. It's one madman's decision away from being obliterated, they don't need artillery for that.
@@swojaczek Let's hope and I pray to any entity out there though being atheist, that it stays that way......
@@swojaczek but they have chemical and nuclear weapons
Love when Elizabeth counts off the complex time signatures. I love complex timing in music.
Finally someone gives the false fold growl transition the attention it deserves. Thanks for the reaction and supporting this band.
The lyric "morning greetings of a rooster are replaced with fire in the hole" will never not feel like a punch in the gut...
Was going to request a reaction for another artist. Not today, not on this one. Good choice Elizabeth. Timely and sincere. Cannot wait to see the whole episode. Prayers to Ukraine.
Classy choice, bravo to you!
Another one that brings me to tears with this band and the circumstances they've endured is the song "retrospection" I'd highly request that one too, plus hearing Tatiana sing in Ukrainian is achingly beautiful
What Gary said!! I second, third and fourth this. It is an amazing song about her upbringing in a war torn country.
Also, if you want to hear her tear it up in their native language, I highly recommend the song “ Желаю, значит получу” from the album Cloud Factory. 🤘😎🤘
@@papasith7766 YES!!! THAT'S MY FAVORITE JINJER SONG!
I second that. Retrospection is an explosion of talent and emotion.
Retrospection is really a sister song to Home Back in many ways a beautiful and heartbreaking song.
My daughter loves unicorns. 🦄 I can’t imagine the feeling of that being stripped away by bullets, bombs, and invading soldiers. I love this band. Preordered a peace to Ukraine tshirt from them at the beginning of the month. I look forward to wearing that proudly. 🇺🇦
More Jinjer!
Gandalf said it best “Some believe it is only great power that can hold evil in check, but that is not what I have found. It is the small everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay. Small acts of kindness and love."
In the jazzy part, there’s no shaker. Those are hi-hats. That’s how precise and in control the drummer is.
Shoutout to sister Tatiana and the brothers Eugene, Roman, Vlad, Sasha, the Dmitrys, Morton and everyone else involved with Jinjer along with all of Ukraine and the rest of the world going through a time of war right now. The old roses are dying away and with them, the thorns of negativity 🙏🏻💜

The way this message is delivered is absolutely perfect. Stay strong.

The Lyrics :( ...
What is this? What is this mess?
What's that noise? Is this a death sentence?
Terrifying silhouettes
Rising over the motherland
Are those the fireworks?
No, it's a military quirk
Is it a mermaid singing?
No, it's a siren screaming
Is it an angel watching over us?
It's an air-fighter making a fuss
Is it a unicorn galloping down the street?
No, those are soldiers' boots marching to the beat
Marching to the beat
Is it an angel watching over us?
Is it an air-fighter making a fuss?
Why is this party looking so bizarre?
A party? No, this is W.A.R
My darling, did we wake up like this?
Isolated bodies in a boudoir of helplessness
A bullet is an early bird, a midnight owl
Morning greetings of a rooster are replaced
With fire in a hole, fire in a hole
My dear, do we have to go to sleep like that?
With a soothing cocktail and the hundredth cigarette
Morning greetings of a rooster are replaced
With fire in a hole
Our beds are cold
As cold as basement floor
Our beds are cold
As cold as basement floor
This house is not our shelter anymore
This house is not our shelter anymore
This house is not our shelter anymore
Anymore
Home is not a building
Home is liberty
A place where memories live
In prosperity and peace
I came back home so I want my home back
I came back home so I want my home back
Don't you leave us homeless
Don't you leave us homeless
Homeless, homeless

You gotta do “Retrospection”. Hearing her sing in her native language is just amazing. Love that song.

Hello from France 👌🏻
This songs hits hard especially during this day in age. Love this band!
She knows what is a war..:(..bless U Tati..
I've listened to metal for as long as I can remember, and as far as I'm concerned, no band conveys emotions like jinjer. Vocals and music.
This song feels highly relevant, and when the tea party shifts from a jazzy almost childish vibe in to a creepy mad hatter vibe it really hits me hard because I can't help but think of the kids being affected by wars like the one going on right now in Ukraine 💔☮️🇺🇦
Yeah, I think the point was to drive home the surreal experience of trying to live a normal life when your country has turned into a war zone, and it's super effective at communicating that idea.
This IMO is tye best Jinjer song. So much going on in it musically. And Tatiana's range is ridiculous!
I saw them live back in December, and this number took the house down. So much energy. And none of us knew what was coming in 2 months.
Eugene sent a video from Kyiv a few weeks back. I hope the guys are okay.

This is what I've been waiting for since I joined TH-cam. Actually got a lump in my throat listening and watching. Thank you Elizabeth. You are my favourite TH-camr, content creator, reactor. Always looking forward to your videos.
this is one of their best songs, so deep. They are really good at discordant songs. They use that to pull you into the music.
Tatiana has on numerous interviews, including the Tea Time one with Elizabeth, expressed her influence and credited Guano Apes singer Sandra Nasic and how she sang to her stuff and developed. Their styles are so similar. Sandra was a huge influence on so many female metal singers. Guano Apes were biggest in the 90's. There are also some reggae and numerous genre influences with Guano Apes as there is with Jinjer. I often hear so many similarities.
I was wondering what sounded familiar about this and you nailed it. The switch up to the jazzy section is so much like Guano Apes.
This is yet another example of how Metal can unite the world!
.....so much.......beautiful reaction 😀🤘
It's not a band I listen to all the time, but they are just incredible musicians! I've had goose bumps through out this song!
you are doing the right thing .... the world need more love, let's spread it
You have become soooo much better in including the effects (emotional) that the videos create.

Also, with how awesome Tati is, there is never enough credit given to every band member and how great they are.
The war started in 2014, and the band was from the region affected by it. Granted, it got much, much more brutal last month
Yeah, the next Jinjer album is going to be absurdly heavy and thought provoking
Thank you very much for that, JINJER is my favorite band and that songs is just awesome...love it!
Also, this is the heaviest song I have ever heard in my life. Like, **actually** heavy
Thank you so much for selecting this song. It breaks my heart how it was written a couple years ago, and yet is so relevant today.
Brilliant piece of music... I hope we can see them (a)live after this fu*ing war has ended!
That jazzy interlude has a "Girl from Ipanema" vibe. I like the irony of it. SOAD has a gift for that as well. Lyrically this song is a gut punch. Some really sinister growling which drives the point home (no pun intended). Heavy
I believe, that like me. Tati drives you crazy. I so love both of you. Thank you for the video
Loved the reaction. I appreciate you don't shy away from difficult subjects. Cried a little, but that's not on you. Tati made me do it.
YESS FINALLY!!!
I have been waiting for this one.
One of my favorite songs and just the right time to listen to it.
This song hits me hard every time.
I really like to listen to it but i am only rarely able to keep myself from crying.
Her low vocal in the end are both brutal and the most impressive vocal performance i have ever seen from a woman ever.
Tatiana is a goddess in my book.
Thank you!
I cannot get over how brilliant some of the lyrics are in conveying feelings of civilians suddenly caught in a warzone.
'Bullet is an early bird, midnight owl.'
It is nice that you are covering and supporting this band.
just so you know, those of us that care, can read your shirt. and we very much feel it's the shirt an opera singer sharing insight and an appreciation for the passion metal can express should be wearing. much love
I think a Foofighters song should be next to commemorate the passing of Tyler Hawkins. Any song. Theres so many great ones.
Finally! I am waiting impatient for another reaction/analysis of this talent and amazing band, Is muy favourite, this song Is a message ti te world for see the war of the correct form, only pain and surffer. All the support fron Colombia 🇨🇴
