“I think if an Angel and the Devil were trapped in the same body, they would embody Ronnie Radke”… the analogy I’ve been searching for but couldn’t quite find. Beautifully spoken.
My daughter said to me... papa roaches version was "anger" but this version is that of "desperation". Amazing how the music changes the presentation of the same lyrics.
Brings to mind Doctor Who and Vincent Van Gough: “He transformed the pain of his tormented life into ecstatic beauty. Pain is easy to portray, but to use your passion and pain to portray the ecstasy and joy and magnificence of our world, no one had ever done it before.”
He recorded the base vocals in 25 minutes in the studio and they used the first take, I've been waiting for this! The way the lyrics are so much more impactful but both versions are iconic.
Quick recordings aren't what makes it good..I'm a lyricist, usually my best tracks are written quickly...it's called being in the zone...not to mention he's just mixing lyrics already written and adding on. He's dope
I’m the biggest Falling in Reverse fan ever- So I’m not tryna be a hater when I say it can’t be very hard to just record a songs lyrics that have existed for already 20 years. It’s not like he had to write it. Lmfao. The simping is a little much, even for me, a die hard fan
I went to the falling in reverse / papa roach concert a couple months ago when they were doing their rockzilla tour. The lead singer of papa roach actually got very real between songs, talking about depression, how good it is to be alive, and dedicating songs to people going through hard times. There's a ton of emotion and energy when they're on stage, that gets lost with the aggressive style recording of this song. So after touring with them, I can see why Ronnie would get inspired and think of doing the song this way.
Can we all agree we need Ronnie to a whole album of reimagining! Now all I can think about what would he do with my favorite Scars! He has me all emotional again! Jacoby, thank you for writing ✍️ a powerful song 🎶 and for Ronnie showing all the raw emotion of the lyrics, it’s been on repeat!
The real genius is how deep these lyrics hit from Papa Roach. 23 years old but the lyrics are still relevant. Timeless, real emotion that Ronnie brought to us in another tone. Amazing song. Amazing cover. Mental health matters.
Wow. When you said 23 years it made me realize how old I really am 😂 I remember when the song first dropped, I love the original but Ronnie absolutely killed this song I get chills every time I listen to it
I love both versions and it's awesome to realize that the song takes two paths. In the original, there is a palatable sense of rage/anger and finality but in this version you get hurt, reflection, and someone begging to be heard. It's awesome to have different results from the same lyrics
was the earth not the same as watch the world burn. But this one he took back the flames. It is as you said the deinfition of and angel and demon holding one body lol.
@noodlewater12 I said that on the original video this is a continuation of watch the world burn as if he has went thru what demons he was fighting in watch the world burn
Anyone else get emotionally devestated while listening to this song? I felt this type of emotion in 2020 when I seriously contemplated leaving forever. This song encapsulated my feelings perfectly
He is so good to ad emotions to his voice. He really make you feel how deep the lyrics are. I dont understand how some people can say he isn't talented. He is incredibly talented.
He is a one of a kind talent that can sing, sing operatic style, falsetto, scream..then to rap he butt off. Ppl like to be keyboard warriors. I got a comment that his music is “ 💩 “…. I replied we all won’t agree but what was it that they didn’t like. I got the same emoji. Some have just made up their minds no matter what. I was called low IQ…I left it cuz I’m Not Wasting my time on someone who can’t explain themselves and name call
I think it just comes down to personal preference. I preferred the anger in papa roach especially in context of the lyrics. The anger was intentional from his past and the blame he placed on himself for being in a place of despair. But this version is great but I prefer heavier music
@@alyrr73 yeah it made me realise how deep the song really is don't get me wrong the original is classic but I get lost in the guitars in the original version where as with this version I'm not distracted
This did it for me. Last resort is one of the songs that helped me survive my younger years. I’m 35 years old and have many scars from when I was 13. Hiding them with watches from my mom on the way to school, getting tattoos to try and cover them up. Ronnie really is on a different level and I’m so proud of what he is doing.
I also wanted to leave this place. I have realised that it is a futile attempt to try it like that because you can only break yourself even further. I planned the ultimate way, I hope I will not use it, but it is strangely relieving to know that it is there.
I find Papa Roach’s version gave off a threat that they’d do it, where as FIR’s version felt more like a plea for help. Both versions are iconic. I can’t get enough!
@@niklassrk Exactly! Papa Roach gave us the aggressive teenage cry for help. The feeling of desperately wanting someone to notice just how much you're hurting and not knowing who or where to turn. Falling In Reverse gave us the adult resignation of knowing where and who to turn to, but being too afraid (having gone on for so long with this feeling) to turn to anyone. Feeling trapped with these feelings of depression and anxiety, wanting to fall apart and get help, but telling yourself to put yourself back together (as you can see in the video with the buildings falling apart then reversing at the end) just to go through it all again the next day.
All 3 versions of this song hit me hard especially cuz I have ties to suicide big time cuz I almost took my own life 5 years ago subconsciously I've never touched a gun since that day
The original is an iconic anthem for a lot of us. Ronnie's on a whole other level, IMO. The songs and reimaginations he's dropping right now are...unreal. I saw him in NYC last Friday and the show was truly an amazing experience. Your reviews are truly top tier, happy you checked this out.
I love how despite being a Reimagined of someone else's song. He made it roll into his musical Universe, The fact that the music video takes place after "Watch the world burn" is so poetic
i love that it's a really emotional song, (this version actually made me cry) - but in the video he's healing the world from the aftermath of Watch the World Burn. I LOVE THIS GUY SO MUCH
I never heard this cover song till I was driving home from work this afternoon in a thunderstorm and it came on the radio. My work day was a bit rough today. I wasn't expecting this song to be this emotional. Tears streamed down my face as I listened to it. It was just what I needed. Just a simple cry that was buried in my soul. This cover is one of the best I've heard.
This one is like Chris Cornell covering Billie Jean. You're left with no option but to hone in on the lyrical and emotional content of the song. Ronnie conveyed the utter desperation and despair of the lyrics to Last Resort. Beautiful redition.
Great comment. This ORIGINAL WITH THE RAGE IN IT WAS ABLE TO LET YOU TAKE IT OUT ON THE SONGS LYRICS!!! Life saving song!!!! LIKE POD “YOUTH of THE NATION” or “WE ARE”
Absolutely amazing arrangement! The song is so iconic that it almost seemed like an impossible task to take it on but Ronnie not only took the challenge, he made it his own. Also kudos to the graphics team on the video...they mastered Unreal Engine 5 lol. Incredible video!
I think we are witnessing a new form of music right now, you see artist like Ren, Ronnie and NF, even Eminem making these inner battle songs. They take the depression, anger, fear and then towards the end turn it into hope, pride and power! It's a wonderful mix and I am fuhking here for it. Obviously these hit hard for many people, myself included. When I was watching the crumbling of the buildings, the symbolism is powerful. It's like when my world felt like it was crumbling then it stopped and you you rebuild it! It's just powerful, the aggressive power is the key. No longer do I feel as depressed, I feel more fuhking angry, at myself mainly for allowing this to progress and beat me down for so long. Anyways great reaction Knox, love your channel!
it's the city of watch the world burn the first shot is the part where the beds surround it, I love this chronology that he does to represent how he rebuilds everything in his own way
The Magical artistry of Ren and Ronnie has reawakened my love of music! In all my 56 years... ive never seen such artists who can do it all so well, while crossing genre's with ease!!!
This is one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard. Ever since he released it it’s been one of my favorites. The raw and gorgeous take of this song that’s from another favorite band of mine just hits so deep. I would love to see him do this live one day cause it helps heal me every time I hear it. Just lost my mom a month ago and haven’t listened since before and that part hit so hard it just hurt. 🖤
It took me until 2023... being 33... (and admittedly never looking at the lyrics) to figure out that the lyrics weren't "If I took my life tonight, chances are dynamite" It would have been so cool if they could have played this live. It's still surreal to me, that I actually got a chance to see them this year. Ronnie is an artistic God, and it shows in how much he puts into literally every aspect of his career
The original makes me want to hit a punching bag, this makes me want to weep. Both a way of releasing emotion, but in very different manners. Just like these two versions.
Knowing that this song is hitting people as hard as it’s hitting me just adds to the perfection of it… I haven’t been this entranced by a song in a long time…
As someone with a pretty strong mental illness, this version of this song and this video is the perfect way to describe it to people who ask how it feels. I am thankful he made this.
The greatest thing about music is that it's open to interpretation no matter what and everyone can interpret the same lyrics differently. In this case, the same song delivered differently can mean 2 completely different things. This song was written to convey a cry for help. Papa Roach performed it in a way that conveyed they were angry with their lives and didn't want it anymore. Radke delivers it as a beaten human to is desperate for a reason to live. Music is the only language that is universally understood no matter where you live or who you are.
I wish there were more songs out there like this. Songs with this modern chords and lyrics and melodies, but they have this epic feel and grand scale because of the orchestra
This version makes me feel things I never have listening to the PR version. The way Ronnie sings the song you can feel the torment the person was feeling that Jacoby was writing about.
Waited all damn day yesterday for your reaction haha. You nailed it again bro and your message at the end is SPOT ON! Music is the one thing saving my life. I grew up loving this song and hearing this version hits the feels so much harder. Got to see both Papa Roach and Falling in reverse together last fall.... I WISH they would have done this one together! WOW!
When I first heard this and saw the video, I felt it so deeply. To me, this video is a representation of walking through the darkness of depression and anxiety I experience every single day. It is eye opening.
He put this song on another level papa roachs original gave different vibes but this literally takes you in that place, Just incredible and Powerful vocals, Ronnie's outdone himself recently 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
This song is difficult to sing, but Ronnie nailed it especially the “cut my life” part, just perfect arrangement. I know they’re good friends but Jacoby must be proud.
You're breakdown is on point and Ronnie Radke is a musical, emotional, and visual masterpiece embodied into a person. He's so insightful and raw, with the ability to tap into the notes and melodies that make us all feel his vision. Phenomenal song, and amazing video to accompany it. Great reaction as well.
This reminds me of a really good song by Architects called Doomsday who did the exact same thing, and I honestly think their Piano Reprise is so beautiful
I just love how he has such a beautiful singing voice that completely surprises you, in the same way that Cory mf Taylor from Slipknot can surprise you with his beautiful voice.
I’ve been waiting for this reaction. The World Is Literally Falling In Reverse, beautiful. Ronnie is so magically talented it’s ridiculous. We need a whole album like this. If you didn’t catch it, the last few seconds he is reversing what he did back on Watch The World Burn.
Thank you for the reaction, Knox ❤! Ronnie's choice to approach this song with a more subdued instrumentation and emotional vocals really sells the true meaning to the song Last Resort. You have no choice but to hear the lyrics and realize just how despairing and depressing they are.
Beautiful react, Knox, as always! This lad's vocals are serious. I can hear so many different tones in each note. He's very talented! And this is such an emotional piece. Phew! Peace! xXx
First time adding to the comment section. I remember when me and my friends first heard this, and how hype we got when listening or watching the music vid. Now “Hearing” /Seeing this wow.. not going to lie caught a tear in the eye for a moment shedding a whole new vibe on it. Much love and respect for what you bring and we enjoy
The way you explained the feeling that depression brings had me in tears. But not tears of sadness. The hardest thing when you're in it is believing that there are others who have felt exactly the same...or worse. I think it was brave of you to admit you've been there. Thank you for that 💜
Thank you! I've watched quite a few reaction videos to this song, and no one has called this song haunting (exactly what I thought the first time I heard it), but finally someone else called it that, too. Grew up with Papa Roach's version, loved it forever, but this rendition feels as if it's splitting your soul open and exposing what truly lies within.
It hits completely different.. from a very aggressive song.. to a sad cry for help.. Ronnie my friend.. you are a true genius.. thank you for the music.. Knox. You're one of my favorites bro.. thank you for the reactions
I ain't even gonna lie, from the way it's composed, I felt stuff welling up. I lost my mother when I was young, so when I heard the original version a long time ago, it resonated deeply, and I felt alot of those feelings, and this captures the feeling so crazily. Well fucking done.
A few things. First, Knox, my man, the first video of yours I saw was your break down of Popular Monster and I loved your examination of that song. Love your work, man. Second, I've found with Falling in Reverse when I hear the song first I get one thing from it, but then when I see the video I always find much greater depth and more layers than I had imagined existed in each and every song. Third I saw someone say this in a post on another reaction video to this song: Papa Roach: We were teenagers angry at the world. Ronnie Radke: We're broken adults ground down by the world. I've been listening to this song for a bit, love both versions but yes, the roach's version is very much angry and angsty. Ronnie's version is desperate, driven to the edge, teetering over the abyss. But something with the video, to me the way everything rebuilds at the end with 'wish somebody would tell me I'm fine' and even though he's still saying nothing is fine the rebuilding, the repairing seems to offer this sense of hope, this little glimmer of light in the darkness. Maybe that's just me, but the video gives me a much more hopeful feeling than just listening to the song on its own. HAHA i just heard you say the same thing about hope and rising up as I was typing this comment.
I suffer from an anxiety disorder, major depressive disorder and PTSD. I was raped at 15, and assaulted. I’m 23 now, and I’m much better now, but this song makes me cry it makes me think of how hard I had it. I isolated myself for 3 months, slept for over 13 hours a day. I’m finally medicated now. I still struggle sometimes, but this song just made me remember how much pain I was in.
Knox, you always say you read all the comments, so I hope you see this one. I desperately needed to hear the words of encouragement and that I am not the burden that I fear I am. Thank you for actually speaking from the heart and not just going through the motions. You have no idea how badly I needed this today, so thank you. Sincerely, thank you.
It’s insane what Ronnie does. How he can express emotion through this vocals is on another level. At the end you can almost hear him gritting his teeth out of sadness. The statues crying is so symbolic and everything crumbling around him…this is a true masterpiece.
Thank you for the plea at the end to encourage people to get help. This song and what you said are extremely personal for me. So thank you for caring enough to say that!
When he screams it has such raw despair and hope and anger it perfectly captures that moment when you have already hurt yourself and the regret hits and then your suddenly trying to live. 😢
First, I just found your channel yesterday. I appreciate the talent, and also, your reaction video provide some much more detail into why things are so impressive that those reactions are impressive. Thank you. Also, this version of LR by FIR made me shed a tear and I am a 47 year old military veteran. They crushed it! Ronnie impresses me more and more with every song.
I get to see them live next week, I’ve been seeing them for nearly a decade and hearing Ronnie’s voice age like fine wine has been such a pleasure. Id love to hear this on the set list! Major thing I noticed was in Watch the World Burn it ends with panning out to a burning earth. In this the world becomes whole and stops burning.
You are THE best reactor on the internet. Your breakdowns are so good. I don't comment often on videos, but I felt like that needed to be said. Thank you for what you do.
3:40 I thought the same exact thing I remember rocking to this like an anthem when the original was released. I clearly wasn't paying attention to the verses at all in the original song. It's pretty stunning.
My coworker played this at work today and I immediately thought, “I really hope Knox Hill has a reaction to this!” You’re the best, bro! I ended up blasting the song in my headphones after work and SOBBED.
This version of the song is truly a masterpiece, Ronnie is mad talented. Knox your reactions are always top class as well, and thank you for the bit at the end, I really needed to hear those words 🙏 😢
This is absolutely amazing I’m always blown away by Ronnie’s talent level….just when I think he’s hit his top……he comes in with this beautiful deep experience with this song….I’m shocked yet again
You are the only person that i have seen react to this song that caught the but when he fades out sat at the piano.... the only one and ive watched .. alot Thank you for another spot on top reation xx
The original is such a great song and an alltime classic, but I really enjoyed this cover as well. Puts the lyrics in a more prominent place and helps them to shine even brighter, just kinda proves how although the original is commonly known as a banger the lyrics themselves are seriously underrated
I couldn't wait for this reaction! Your face says it all Knox ->AWESTRUCK😲 Its a MASTERPIECE! No other way to say it! Peace and love always until there is no more!😊❤
Thank you Knox! This made me have chills and tears. It was beautiful and so well done. Jakob from Papa Roach loved this and was so excited for this version. He even made comments that this song is soundtrack for a movie. I loved watching him support Ronnie. Much love❤❤❤
Goosebumps...... just.... goosebumps...... And quite a few tears.... 😭 The original song, came out at a godsend moment for me. I was dealing with a relapse (for lack of a better term to use) of a medical issue in my late teens that had my lungs randomly collapsing. Was in a really dark place due to the constant collapses + scars from surgeries..... the Original is what kept me from staying down and clawed my way back out of that pit. THIS is how i felt when i heard the original.. THIS is what i was hearing when i heard that original song... its what gave me the courage to not back down and give up. Yes i was 'head-banging' to the origional (i even do the same to this version, just at a more sedated pace), but the feelings THIS song give.. are what i was dealing with at that moment...
I am in Love with the original one and i am in love with this cover. Ronnie is beyond great. So are the producers . Phenomenal. I have also lost my mind and my sight so i relate yes i do.
I've always wondered why this materpiece of a Song never got a real good cover, but there is this musical genius Ronnie. Love him since the early escape the fate songs, he never took himself serious. One kind of a person Thx for this awesome reaction knox
The depth and Knowledge you have on bars breakdown is Amazing. it's always interesting to see you breaking down it's meaning and explaining it in detail especially with Falling In Reverse!
“I think if an Angel and the Devil were trapped in the same body, they would embody Ronnie Radke”… the analogy I’ve been searching for but couldn’t quite find. Beautifully spoken.
The funny part about that statement is that the devil is an angel lol. I get what he’s saying tho and I agree
absolutely
I laughed when he said it cuz I knew exactly what he meant xD
cornballs
Same! Was perfect
One shot has an angel cello player weeping,showing someone did care. Amazing song.
Yeah, someone always cares. I just wish we could get those that choose suicide to realize that.
My daughter said to me... papa roaches version was "anger" but this version is that of "desperation". Amazing how the music changes the presentation of the same lyrics.
on point.
that is exactly how i thought of it! But, how far is true anger from desperation?
I saw someone say this, and I couldn't agree more
Papa roach: Us as rebellious teens.
Ronnie: Us as adults trying to make it through every day.
I think your daughter nailed it man
@@kingcageman4847you can feel angered desperation, & also sad desperation😊
That dude has chops - perfectly said “if an angel and a demon were trapped in one body” 😮
This is a version of this song we didn’t know we needed but damn we really needed it! It seriously gives me goosebumps
For me it brings the song from teenage angst up to the adult emotional level and it’s absolutely giving me goosebumps
YES!🖤
Brings to mind Doctor Who and Vincent Van Gough:
“He transformed the pain of his tormented life into ecstatic beauty. Pain is easy to portray, but to use your passion and pain to portray the ecstasy and joy and magnificence of our world, no one had ever done it before.”
He recorded the base vocals in 25 minutes in the studio and they used the first take, I've been waiting for this! The way the lyrics are so much more impactful but both versions are iconic.
Thats absolutely insane for the quality of the song. Insanely talented.
That's insane! His range is just ridiculous
Do you have any interview links?

While FIR is giving us that adult sad/emotional feeling

Absolutely great take my man!
@@niklassrk Exactly! Papa Roach gave us the aggressive teenage cry for help. The feeling of desperately wanting someone to notice just how much you're hurting and not knowing who or where to turn.

Knox has the best breakdowns
Every time 💯🔥💕
Lorna Shore has better breakdowns
My take is that the original will always be great but this captures the lyrics for what they truly are and that gives us a masterpiece.
This one is like Chris Cornell covering Billie Jean. You're left with no option but to hone in on the lyrical and emotional content of the song. Ronnie conveyed the utter desperation and despair of the lyrics to Last Resort. Beautiful redition.
Same thing with Hurt by Johnny Cash vs the original from Nine Inch Nails

Great reaction! Ronnie has highlighted the amazingly sad Papa Roaches lyrics to another level. 😢
This is one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard. Ever since he released it it’s been one of my favorites. The raw and gorgeous take of this song that’s from another favorite band of mine just hits so deep. I would love to see him do this live one day cause it helps heal me every time I hear it. Just lost my mom a month ago and haven’t listened since before and that part hit so hard it just hurt. 🖤
I heard this on the radio in the car this morning, and I am obsessed. I love the reinterpretation and artistry.
It took me until 2023... being 33... (and admittedly never looking at the lyrics) to figure out that the lyrics weren't "If I took my life tonight, chances are dynamite"
It would have been so cool if they could have played this live. It's still surreal to me, that I actually got a chance to see them this year. Ronnie is an artistic God, and it shows in how much he puts into literally every aspect of his career
The original makes me want to hit a punching bag, this makes me want to weep. Both a way of releasing emotion, but in very different manners. Just like these two versions.
Knowing that this song is hitting people as hard as it’s hitting me just adds to the perfection of it… I haven’t been this entranced by a song in a long time…
As someone with a pretty strong mental illness, this version of this song and this video is the perfect way to describe it to people who ask how it feels. I am thankful he made this.
The greatest thing about music is that it's open to interpretation no matter what and everyone can interpret the same lyrics differently. In this case, the same song delivered differently can mean 2 completely different things. This song was written to convey a cry for help. Papa Roach performed it in a way that conveyed they were angry with their lives and didn't want it anymore. Radke delivers it as a beaten human to is desperate for a reason to live. Music is the only language that is universally understood no matter where you live or who you are.
I wish there were more songs out there like this. Songs with this modern chords and lyrics and melodies, but they have this epic feel and grand scale because of the orchestra
This version makes me feel things I never have listening to the PR version. The way Ronnie sings the song you can feel the torment the person was feeling that Jacoby was writing about.
been having this song on repeat, when i first saw the video and heard the song got my emotions flowing, he never disappoints, just going up for Ronnie
Waited all damn day yesterday for your reaction haha. You nailed it again bro and your message at the end is SPOT ON! Music is the one thing saving my life. I grew up loving this song and hearing this version hits the feels so much harder. Got to see both Papa Roach and Falling in reverse together last fall.... I WISH they would have done this one together! WOW!
I saw them during Rockzilla 2 back Feb 5th 2023. Amazing
@@candi_renee_28 Hell Yea! Ronnie knows how to put on a show
When I first heard this and saw the video, I felt it so deeply. To me, this video is a representation of walking through the darkness of depression and anxiety I experience every single day. It is eye opening.
He put this song on another level papa roachs original gave different vibes but this literally takes you in that place, Just incredible and Powerful vocals, Ronnie's outdone himself recently 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
This song is difficult to sing, but Ronnie nailed it especially the “cut my life” part, just perfect arrangement.
I know they’re good friends but Jacoby must be proud.
You're breakdown is on point and Ronnie Radke is a musical, emotional, and visual masterpiece embodied into a person. He's so insightful and raw, with the ability to tap into the notes and melodies that make us all feel his vision. Phenomenal song, and amazing video to accompany it. Great reaction as well.
This reminds me of a really good song by Architects called Doomsday who did the exact same thing, and I honestly think their Piano Reprise is so beautiful
I just love how he has such a beautiful singing voice that completely surprises you, in the same way that Cory mf Taylor from Slipknot can surprise you with his beautiful voice.
I’ve been waiting for this reaction. The World Is Literally Falling In Reverse, beautiful. Ronnie is so magically talented it’s ridiculous. We need a whole album like this. If you didn’t catch it, the last few seconds he is reversing what he did back on Watch The World Burn.
Thank you for the reaction, Knox ❤! Ronnie's choice to approach this song with a more subdued instrumentation and emotional vocals really sells the true meaning to the song Last Resort. You have no choice but to hear the lyrics and realize just how despairing and depressing they are.
Beautiful react, Knox, as always! This lad's vocals are serious. I can hear so many different tones in each note. He's very talented! And this is such an emotional piece. Phew!
Peace! xXx
First time adding to the comment section.
I remember when me and my friends first heard this, and how hype we got when listening or watching the music vid.
Now “Hearing” /Seeing this wow.. not going to lie caught a tear in the eye for a moment shedding a whole new vibe on it.
Much love and respect for what you bring and we enjoy
The way you explained the feeling that depression brings had me in tears. But not tears of sadness. The hardest thing when you're in it is believing that there are others who have felt exactly the same...or worse. I think it was brave of you to admit you've been there. Thank you for that 💜
Thank you! I've watched quite a few reaction videos to this song, and no one has called this song haunting (exactly what I thought the first time I heard it), but finally someone else called it that, too. Grew up with Papa Roach's version, loved it forever, but this rendition feels as if it's splitting your soul open and exposing what truly lies within.
Thank you so much for covering and lending your commentary to this amazing masterpiece. I just discovered this artist tonight!
Best remix ever, of all time!!! Ronnie needs to create a rock opera!
It hits completely different.. from a very aggressive song.. to a sad cry for help.. Ronnie my friend.. you are a true genius.. thank you for the music.. Knox. You're one of my favorites bro.. thank you for the reactions
I ain't even gonna lie, from the way it's composed, I felt stuff welling up. I lost my mother when I was young, so when I heard the original version a long time ago, it resonated deeply, and I felt alot of those feelings, and this captures the feeling so crazily. Well fucking done.
A few things. First, Knox, my man, the first video of yours I saw was your break down of Popular Monster and I loved your examination of that song. Love your work, man.
Second, I've found with Falling in Reverse when I hear the song first I get one thing from it, but then when I see the video I always find much greater depth and more layers than I had imagined existed in each and every song.
Third I saw someone say this in a post on another reaction video to this song:
Papa Roach: We were teenagers angry at the world.
Ronnie Radke: We're broken adults ground down by the world.
I've been listening to this song for a bit, love both versions but yes, the roach's version is very much angry and angsty. Ronnie's version is desperate, driven to the edge, teetering over the abyss. But something with the video, to me the way everything rebuilds at the end with 'wish somebody would tell me I'm fine' and even though he's still saying nothing is fine the rebuilding, the repairing seems to offer this sense of hope, this little glimmer of light in the darkness. Maybe that's just me, but the video gives me a much more hopeful feeling than just listening to the song on its own.
HAHA i just heard you say the same thing about hope and rising up as I was typing this comment.
I suffer from an anxiety disorder, major depressive disorder and PTSD. I was raped at 15, and assaulted. I’m 23 now, and I’m much better now, but this song makes me cry it makes me think of how hard I had it. I isolated myself for 3 months, slept for over 13 hours a day. I’m finally medicated now. I still struggle sometimes, but this song just made me remember how much pain I was in.
Jesus loves you and would love to free you and save you 🙏
Knox, you always say you read all the comments, so I hope you see this one.
I desperately needed to hear the words of encouragement and that I am not the burden that I fear I am. Thank you for actually speaking from the heart and not just going through the motions. You have no idea how badly I needed this today, so thank you. Sincerely, thank you.
It’s insane what Ronnie does. How he can express emotion through this vocals is on another level. At the end you can almost hear him gritting his teeth out of sadness. The statues crying is so symbolic and everything crumbling around him…this is a true masterpiece.
Ronnie's music is the perfect example of Good and evil being caught in the same person and battling between each other 😭❤
I never thought I would be describing this track as beautiful but here we are.
Here for it!! Ronnie is back!! Masterpiece in all levels 🔥🤘
Thank you for the plea at the end to encourage people to get help. This song and what you said are extremely personal for me. So thank you for caring enough to say that!
It hits even heavier when you've BEEN on that edge and fought that life or death battke inside your head.
When he screams it has such raw despair and hope and anger it perfectly captures that moment when you have already hurt yourself and the regret hits and then your suddenly trying to live. 😢
First, I just found your channel yesterday. I appreciate the talent, and also, your reaction video provide some much more detail into why things are so impressive that those reactions are impressive. Thank you. Also, this version of LR by FIR made me shed a tear and I am a 47 year old military veteran. They crushed it! Ronnie impresses me more and more with every song.
best reaction of this song I've watched.. and I've watched a lot of them this week!
I get to see them live next week, I’ve been seeing them for nearly a decade and hearing Ronnie’s voice age like fine wine has been such a pleasure. Id love to hear this on the set list!
Major thing I noticed was in Watch the World Burn it ends with panning out to a burning earth. In this the world becomes whole and stops burning.
Thank you!!! I cant stop listening to this and i appreciate these appreciative reactions.
You are THE best reactor on the internet. Your breakdowns are so good. I don't comment often on videos, but I felt like that needed to be said. Thank you for what you do.
3:40 I thought the same exact thing I remember rocking to this like an anthem when the original was released. I clearly wasn't paying attention to the verses at all in the original song. It's pretty stunning.
My coworker played this at work today and I immediately thought, “I really hope Knox Hill has a reaction to this!” You’re the best, bro!
I ended up blasting the song in my headphones after work and SOBBED.
This version of the song is truly a masterpiece, Ronnie is mad talented. Knox your reactions are always top class as well, and thank you for the bit at the end, I really needed to hear those words 🙏 😢
Another great song from Ronnie. I love these theatrical , emotional songs. Great job Knox
I really wasn't sure if this would work when i first started playing it, but ive probably played it 10 times. Its absolutely beautiful.🖤
this one got me in the feels.......big time. WOW what talent.
Your comment about an angel and Devil being trapped in one body 🙌🏼🥰🤩
Love Ronnie!
This is absolutely amazing I’m always blown away by Ronnie’s talent level….just when I think he’s hit his top……he comes in with this beautiful deep experience with this song….I’m shocked yet again
That second voice is Jacoby Shaddix the singer of Papa Roach. Ronnie ran this song by him unmixed and asked him to sing on the track.
You are the only person that i have seen react to this song that caught the but when he fades out sat at the piano.... the only one and ive watched .. alot
Thank you for another spot on top reation xx
This is so fkn good! I'm so impressed with Ronnie. And awesome reaction as always Knox!
The original is such a great song and an alltime classic, but I really enjoyed this cover as well. Puts the lyrics in a more prominent place and helps them to shine even brighter, just kinda proves how although the original is commonly known as a banger the lyrics themselves are seriously underrated
I couldn't wait for this reaction!
Your face says it all Knox
->AWESTRUCK😲
Its a MASTERPIECE!
No other way to say it!
Peace and love always until there is no more!😊❤
Thank you Knox! This made me have chills and tears. It was beautiful and so well done. Jakob from Papa Roach loved this and was so excited for this version. He even made comments that this song is soundtrack for a movie. I loved watching him support Ronnie. Much love❤❤❤
Another great reaction! Ronnie is one of the best singers of this time, and he nailed this again😌
You are one of the top reactors for me on this song, your breakdown is great
Goosebumps...... just.... goosebumps...... And quite a few tears.... 😭
The original song, came out at a godsend moment for me. I was dealing with a relapse (for lack of a better term to use) of a medical issue in my late teens that had my lungs randomly collapsing. Was in a really dark place due to the constant collapses + scars from surgeries..... the Original is what kept me from staying down and clawed my way back out of that pit.
THIS is how i felt when i heard the original.. THIS is what i was hearing when i heard that original song... its what gave me the courage to not back down and give up.
Yes i was 'head-banging' to the origional (i even do the same to this version, just at a more sedated pace), but the feelings THIS song give.. are what i was dealing with at that moment...
I am in Love with the original one and i am in love with this cover. Ronnie is beyond great. So are the producers . Phenomenal. I have also lost my mind and my sight so i relate yes i do.
This music is incredible. As always, I cherish your reactions and words!
Thanks for jumping on this so quick I wanted to see your reaction first
I've always wondered why this materpiece of a Song never got a real good cover, but there is this musical genius Ronnie. Love him since the early escape the fate songs, he never took himself serious. One kind of a person
Thx for this awesome reaction knox
That piano just hits so well in the beginning
The depth and Knowledge you have on bars breakdown is Amazing. it's always interesting to see you breaking down it's meaning and explaining it in detail especially with Falling In Reverse!
The screaming at the end, I had goosebumps and tears listening to this all at once. Bravo on the reaction, you nailed it
CHILLS the whole time ngl.
