I started TH-cam in 2011, covering songs with Ryan. We grew up on TH-cam together. We use to talk a lot. Even if time made its thing and we talk less, him passing away literally affected me. His music and dedication to music will stay forever ❤ Awesome song, again!
The Melbourne show the other week was beautiful. Jamie gave a speech and the entire floor section sat down and listened in full support. The emotions were unbelievable.
@@retardedcheesewheel2921 It was really something special. Sad but beautiful. Jamie's speech, followed by Martyr, had me a blubbering mess by the end of it.
@@fmkwvejf When he did that in Sydney, I think that was truly the moment that it cemented the thought in my head of like "I love this band, this is what I've been searching for". Not just because it was a super emotional moment, but it was just powerful, I just felt that great energy from him and everyone in the room.
Been following these guys since the very early days and living in Sydney have been lucky enough to see them live countless times from the early days at venues with 100 fans to their more recent bigger venue shows and I have to say, this may be my favourite song of their's. Sooooo good
Aussie here was watching Polaris when they played small shows here all the way up until their most recent show, Aussie bounce got me laughing haha Rest in peace ryan he gave me a guitar pick at their early shows and i play guitar i will find it
They recorded 3 music videos before his rest, and they sat together, reflected and talked, also with his family too, and with so much love and care for the music he created... It's hard, man 🥺
Great video, Drew. Mad respect to Polaris for thinking through releasing this video and the future music. One thing you may want to check out if you haven’t already is the song “Equilibrium” by Above, Below. It was released a few years ago but features Ryan and they even have a instrumental playthrough of the song on their TH-cam channel with Ryan playing his feature. It’s an amazing song and may be a good reaction video or just something to watch in your free time as we remember Ryan for the amazing music he gave to all of us.
You're wrong my Man The actual try not to cry challenge will be on the album itself...from what I can remember From all the albums Polaris released, at least 2 songs is just in the mood and vibe of breaking down... 2 From the last album were definitely masochist and martyr From mortal coil I can say those were cooked path and slow decay Or even the ending section of frailty "My life is flashes before my eyes...and days all seemed to pass Me by...." I remember first time I heard the slow decay I was chilled to the bone..but that line was where I was frozen.... These guys literally saved my life with these albums.... Impatiently waiting for Fatalism.. though I know this would be an impossible challenge to not to cry
American here. Polaris is the best to do it in a long time. The Mortal Coil alone is one of the best albums I’ve listened to. Tool was my favorite band before Polaris.
I think the hardest part of it is how pivotal Ryan was to the song writing. I just want the band to enjoy the enormous success they’re seeing for this album and tour and get showered with love from their fans. I know when the time comes to write a new album without Ryan it’s really going to hit them again.
@@Razthenewb no when he titles the video “Try Not To Cry Challenge!” I don’t find his words genuine. Not the time for clickbait bullshit. Someone died.

It's been super emotional here in Australia, there upcoming shows are going to heavy, beautiful but super hard. He was very loved in this community

That lead after the 2nd chorus crushed me. Rest in paradise brother ❤️
Yeah, I am not gonna lie, I teared up a little bit. Awesome music. RIP Ryan
❤️❤️

I know it's hard, but I really want them to continue, not only for Ryan, but for the love for music
Man how hard it is to watch Ryan but I take solace in seeing how much he loved what he did. RIP Ryan❤
I finally got a chance to check this out in my own recording this morning. What. A. Song. What a tribute.
Yup that slapped. I tears up on that final chorus.. rip Ryan ❤
As one of the dinks who said you would love The Death of Me, it makes me happy to see you loving this stuff.
Hits you in the feels!
Definitely hits harder with everything going on. Absolute banger ❤

Rest in peace ryan he gave me a guitar pick at their early shows and i play guitar i will find it
I definitely failed, when ryans guitar solo came before the breakdown it fucking hit me.. this album is gonna be good but rip ryan
Ryan forever. Song rips.
Definitely failed the challenge. This album will be tough to listen to
U didn't like it?
@mockz5285 yes I liked it. You didn't read what I said properly
@@Colt6661OP is saying they enjoyed it very much wdym?

I'm with you. Their songs definitely grow on you over time, Masochist is probably one of my fav metalcore song ever
We lost a good dude and it still fuckin hurts, like I’m playing notes that he put together and it’s just kinda haunting tbh
Legend Drew
What’s going to be more emotional is the album after this one.
You're wrong my Man

They’re going to Ireland, hit that man. Then give us a follow up video.
I think the vid title is kind of disrespectful
how?
Word
I agree.
Nah, the whole first 2 minutes of the video is a respectful genuine tribute... or do you think he's not genuine?
