Thanks for doing the Sixsters again, love this band. I will say, as I have said on other reactor sites, because all reactors do this version of Happiness. I understand as this is identified as the official version. I prefer the original one released a year earlier on their YT channel (both a great, don't get me wrong). After the was started, Kate's home where they had their studio was destroyed in the bombing. Most of the girls (6 of the 7) left Ukraine with their families. 5 months later, 5 of those girls met up in Essen for the first time. Within an hour of meeting they had written this song. The next day, they recorded it live in a small studio. That version I prefer because its so raw and emotional. The girks were Kate, Kira P., Maya, Anna and Maria. Just Kira K and Taya from when the war started were missing. =====> th-cam.com/video/M9cQ1ILyMJQ/w-d-xo.html
With every thing they're going through this incredible band just keeps climbing with their dreams. They are such an inspiration and are super talented. They just find a way to keep it going with professional results. Thank for the heart felt reaction.
i have liked all their stuff so far. saddens me they had member changes because of what is going on over there and makes me happy they are still creating and moving forward. Be Good To One Another And ROCK ON !!
I really like them. Another young band. I've listened to everything that's available and she is a great singer and she can play more than just a rhythm guitar. She is a good front for the band. The drummer has some acclaim too. She won hit like a girl. They all are talented musicians. I read they made this song after being apart on the run from Putin for 6 months.
Thanks Jesse for continuing to support this very talented, courageous young band. Despite everything, The Sixsters create incredible music and inspire many.
I'm still alive and it upsets me Who will sing lullaby to sleep? Lost in woods of consequences But I can't find myself Can't leave behind Will I define if it's true or false? Will I believe in your kind words? Seems like the sun is drowning somewhere People spread all the fear in the air Just a story to tell, please Add that you almost forgot me Never suffer again Just believe there is the end Wanna escape from this place But I just can't run away Happiness is foreign Impossible to understand what life has been like for those living in the Ukraine. I think these lyrics tell the story. The Sixsters put great music to these heartbreaking lyrics. Thanks Jesse for reacting to The Sixsters.
Thank you for sharing the lyrics - and you’re right, I couldn’t imagine and it’s really best said from those who have to bare the experience. So glad they can express through music 💛
Thank you, Jesse, for supporting these incredible young women. You get it. "I'm still alive and it upsets me... I want to escape but I just can't run away. Happiness is foreign." The survivors' guilt, the anger and frustration, the sense of helplessness. This song always gets me. In the video, Kate throws down her sticks in apparent anger and frustration. But then she goes and tends to her wounds, pulls her sleeve across her mouth in resolve, and returns to the fight. It's a message about not giving up, no matter how hard things get. That's why I'm not worried about The Sixsters. They put out beautiful music that pulls people in like a magnet, and it keeps getting better. And they don't give up.
This by far there most powerful and significant song on so may levelsrefuged . A bit of background to make my case. @ weeks after the invasion started the drummers (katya) home was blown up. they went to stay with family and her dad bought his first car, a van , to run supplys to the war zone and bring back survivors. after the second time his van was attacted he took his wife and 3 girls to germany. this song was created in 1 hour after most of the band had reunited there . everthing on this song was in the moment including those incomplete lyrics. I heard the original raw video of that demo and I love that they chose not to fill in those lyrics and keep it raw. IM STILL ALIVE AND THAT UPSETS ME, How much much more powerfull can it get ? but every singal line of this song is THAT powerfull
@@DanL---2024 I think it was on Katyas Patreon and through mesenger back when they were still unknown. I sent $ to help purchase that minivan and love that he used it to save many lives
@@dancan6622 They are such good and decent people, and that shines through. I am also donating extra amounts when I can. I wish I had a million. I want so much for them to succeed, to be heard.
There is an original live video of this right after they composed it. It isn't as well mixed, and I was worried people who haven't heard them before would mistake them for a garage band, so I haven't been requesting that version. But here is a link for those who understand their story and can really appreciate the raw feeling in the song. Maria's last note as she sings "Happiness is foreign, " is basically a primal scream. It reaches into your gut and it does not feel good. But it is as real as you can get. th-cam.com/video/M9cQ1ILyMJQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=07tps6OZvobZ84S4
They won the Fair Play Anti-Corruption Youth Voices Competition 2024 earlier this year, which was looking for music that speaks out against corruption. I was surprised to see the song picked was "For us... For me..." because it doesn't come across as a song of protest. Until you read the words. A lot the music they've written is the same way, with a darker meaning beneath.
The SiXsters are at the Anti-Corruption Conference in Vilnius Lithuania Now. Lithuanian band Romantic Hooligans are being supported by The SiXsters and two other bands. They are also eating Burgers and IceCream & raising he!! Running up and down the hotel hallways .
I've been following them for 4 years now, these girls are incredible performers, and they're just a treat to watch. Fever is another awesome song. 😆

Why aren't they more famous? It really bug's me. If i hear one more news article about Taylor bloody swift im going to scream! Sixsters rock ❤️
Thanks Jesse for coming back to The Sixsters.
I'm still alive and it upsets me
Who will sing lullaby to sleep?
Lost in woods of consequences
But I can't find myself
Can't leave behind
Will I define if it's true or false?
Will I believe in your kind words?
Seems like the sun is drowning somewhere
People spread all the fear in the air
Just a story to tell, please
Add that you almost forgot me
Never suffer again
Just believe there is the end
Wanna escape from this place
But I just can't run away
Happiness is foreign
Impossible to understand what life has been like for those living in the Ukraine. I think these lyrics tell the story. The Sixsters put great music to these heartbreaking lyrics. Thanks Jesse for reacting to The Sixsters.

This Ukrainian band is amazing, I love them more and more every time I listen and watch them!!! Thanks for your reaction.
nice song, even sounds some prog.

Thanks for sharing that, Dan. I didn't know that story, just that Kate's house was destroyed. These young women are a testament to the human spirit.

Such a haunting melody. A lament for a time of happiness before it was ripped away by a tyrant.
Love this band.

@rustyford2790 I saw all those! They're totally raising hell in that Hilton! I love it! 😀
You looks like Billie Ellish brother
Ahaha hey I’ll take that
