My lil cousin was on mtv show where they sing the songs-I forget the name But he did jump around in San Diego & went & spit game to Carmen Elektra. Was pretty pimp
Everlast isn't a group, but a guy. He almost died the day he fonished this album. He had been feeling chest pains for hours and his friend/producer got him to go to the hospital where they determined he had a torn aortic valve and was bleeding internally. Because he listened to his friend, he'll turn 55 in 12 days (8/18/69).

@Whitewolf1827 was there a second song that does a follow up to the original song? I don't mean the verse I was thinking there was a follow up somewhere, I'm old might just be thinking I heard it but thanks.
empathy! empathy!! a great song about empathy! as a culture, America has never needed empathy more than it does right now. everyone needs to listen and take a moment. this is a great tune. everlast put it all right out there in this song back in the day. again-we need this message right now-today-and always.
Except we've competed all our empathy away. We don't have time for the weakness of our competition. That's a Them Problem not an Us Problem. So, good luck with that. You're relying on the wrong people if you're relying on Americans.
@@Ahzpayne I didn't know we were given a limited supply of empathy. is that per person? or does that work more like the GNP, so it is collective. being an American, I understand your sense of reticence around trust-but what else are we going to do? I personally still have some empathy left in me, and I plan to use it. thanks for posting.
A good friend once told me something like, "I know exactly how heavy everyone's burden is... it's every last ounce that they can carry, just like mine." I try to keep that in mind when I get irritated by something.
Being an old fart who is falling apart I've seen people in physical therapy with extreme problems that make mine look mild. As one friend told me, it's not a contest and we all have problems.
Sympathy and empathy both refer to a caring response to the emotional state of another person, but a distinction between them is typically made: while sympathy is a feeling of sincere concern for someone who is experiencing something difficult or painful (which I believe Amber was describing as something that everyone be capable of doing), 'EMPATHY' involves actively sharing in the emotional experience of the other person, often and in it most sincere form, when having experienced something akin to, very similar as or exactly like what another has experienced. I think most people are capable of sympathy (pity and sorrow for someone else's misfortune) but empathy is not automatic nor can it be expected. Some people are cruel. Some are ignorant. Some are willfully blind to suffering beyond what they've experienced. Others simply have no baseline to understand what is means to be dirt poor, backed into a corner with no way out, filled with loss, etc... and are therefore incapable of empathy. Like the lyricist sang; you can only know if you walk in someone else's shoes.
Such a great explanation. I always think that even if you can't actually empathize with someone because your own experiences don't even allow you to imagine another person's pain, the important thing is effort. When we ask people to be more empathetic, we're really asking them to try. You may not be able to fully know what they're feeling, but at least they know you care. Sometimes telling someone you wish you could carry some of their pain for them is the best you can do.
@@deborahwinder3617 That's exactly it, empathy is an active act of imagination and it takes an effort to try to imagine being in another person's shoes. People willing to make that effort are also more likely to take some action on it even if that's just listening to someone who needs to be heard. Experiencing another person's pain by making that effort then just shrugging about it would be sort of ghoulish--and I don't think empathetic people would make that effort and then do nothing.
Everlast has been around since the late 80's. He used to roll with Ice T's Ryhme Syndicate befor he was in the group House of Pain, yall should peep one of his first songs Everlast - The Rhythm
Rob Squad is one of the best on here. She has the purest heart and they both put off so much positivity in their messages. Please continue being just who you are. Thanks
As others have mentioned, Everlast aka Erik Francis Schrody, is also the rapper from House Of Pain, which you'll know from "Jump Around". He also did a great song with Santana, called ""Put Your Lights On" that's worth checking out. A 90s artist with a similar name but non-related that you should check out is alt-rockers Everclear. Start with their songs, "Santa Monica" and "I Will Buy You A New Life" and work through their catalogue from there.
"White Trash Beautiful", "Lonely Road", "Put Your Lights On" with Carlos Santana, "I Get By", and "Smoking and Drinking" are all incredible songs with similarly heavy lyrics.
"You know where it ends. Well usually it depends on where it starts" is such an important message! Life is so much easier for those with a head start in life. I ran away from foster care at 16 and people looked down on me for my little studio apartment but I didn't care because it was mine. Take pride in your accomplishments even if others don't and instead of judging lift people up who need it. You never know the impact you may have.
All right my babies... Now this track cuts deep on so many levels.... Infinite situations for someone to be in. This was the very first time I've seen the video. We've all walked our own "what it's like" 🔥😊👍🏻
❤❤❤❤ Honestly thought I couldn't love you guys more .. and than I see you do this reaction. Everlast is the man. My brother and I bonded over everything especially music and when this song came out ... we had to have listened to it thousands of times. I lost my baby bro in 2005 he was only 20 . In 2017 , I saw Everlast was performing live about an hour away from me and NOTHING was about to keep me from seeing the man. When he came on that stage and was 5 feet in front of me I screamed to him " EVERLAST I LOVE YOU!!" and he went over the mic and said " I love you too" My brother's spirit was no doubt shining through that night and I'll always have this love for him , as a connection through my brother. ❤ thank you for your beautiful message, Amber ❤ It spoke to me and I am truly thankful to you both ❤️ ❤❤😘✌️
I vividly remember the first time I ever had heard this song. Tears rolled down my cheeks as the raw emotion of the lyrics. The point of view in each verse was rather haunting. Lyrically a masterpiece to me. Blessings to ya'll.
Amber, I 100% agree with you. It should be enough that we have all been through difficult situations to understand that someone else might be going through something as bad or worse, and cut them some slack. Unfortunately, humans come with something called the fundamental attribution error, which is a mouthful, but basically means that when we're trying to explain why something happened to us, we tend to credit ourselves (make an internal attribution) when it's something good, deciding it happened because we worked hard, as an example. When it's a bad outcome, we tend to blame others or bad luck (an external attribution). But the opposite happens when we are looking at others. We tend to unconsciously assume that when bad things happen to other people, they deserved it for some reason (an internal attribution). The good thing is that once someone realizes they come with this built in bias, they know to look for it next time they find themselves judging someone they don't know, and considering situational factors instead of just deciding they're a bad person.
This is one of those songs that everyone I know absolutely loves. It doesn't matter if you're into hip hop, R&B, rock, alternative, heavy metal, etc. This song speaks to everyone!
What it shows is that Everlast (like a lot of musicians at that time) have a multi-faceted musical skill ... He can rap, sing in tune, play a guitar and other things. Always liked this song for that and many other reasons. Also, it gives Amber‘s end message so much more weight. Much love to both of you for doing this song.
So many times I have sat at a bar with this song playing in the background, a pint of Guinness in front me, discussing the complexities of life with a philosophical bartender.
The best bartenders aren't necessarily the ones that can make the fanciest or the most different types of drinks. It's the one who is a good listener. If he's philosophical that's a bonus.
Jay and Amber have barely scratched the surface of the 90's. I say it all the time, the 90's was a crazy time for music. Every generation has their musical influences, I feel like the 90's was the great melting pot of influences. Generation X was sick of being told who we could be and what we could achieve. Our music reflected that rebellious spirit of change. Y'all get back to some of those incredible 90's R&B groups and tell me that we didn't have a great time ❤ but there were plenty of messages, like this one, in our music 🎵
I love this video! All the people he's been singing about looking in on a picture of perfection and not comprehending it like it's some bizarre, alien thing. Meanwhile, I'm there standing beside them wondering the same thing.
Loreena McKennitt! I have so many favorites but the first one of hers I heard was "Mystics Dream". Also you have to check out her live arrangement of W.B.Yeats "The Stolen Child" video by Ron B from her Nights From The Alhambra concert. This woman is so accomplished. You should really check her out. She's had a career spanning four decades. If you love instruments...she does a lot of renditions of folk music but she also writes her own songs. Her music has Celtic and middle eastern elements. I think you would love her. She can be considered 'World Music' or 'New Age'. She's also from Canada. She's also been given so many honors. She's an honorary Colonel of the Royal Canadian Air Force and she's also a French Knight of the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres. She's been invested with the Order of Canada and Manitoba, as well as being awarded the Queen Elizabeth II Golden and Diamond Jubilee Medals. There are so many others I can't possibly list. I've been watching since you guys started. You really need to do Loreena McKennitt sometime. ❤️🙂
I like what seems to be the message of this song, and that is to not judge a book by its cover because you can’t judge someone’s life and how they are, unless you have walked a mile in their shoes, because who knows what that person has been through or is going through that you can choose to judge them so basically what it is saying is to think before you speak and think before you act
Amber in the 70s the Band RENUION had a big hit called LIFE IS A ROCK BUT THE RADIO ROLLED ME 😎😤Its a comedy song with a very good 70s Sounds they mention a lot of the top Bands of the 60s and 70s Amber if you dont check this song out FASTyou will be dssapointed you waited so long when you do hear it for the first time Its🎼🎵 70s Gold big timeThank 4 all your reactions Rob Squad ,And thanks for helping the OLDIES BUT GOODIES stay Alive,
Such an incredible song. I'm so glad y'all chose the explicit version of this instead of the radio edit. While the lyrics can be offensive to some, it really gets the point across of the story. Amber was completely right. Who are we to judge? We should have empathy for our fellow man, regardless of how they got into the situation they are in. We are ALL human and we ALL make mistakes in life. Because God doesn't care where you've been...He cares about where you are going. Love you guys!
Have to agree with others, Amber totally gets it. Been awhile since you guys have done a Savage Garden song. Similar time period of music, so I'm going to suggest 'To The Moon & Back'.
The 90's were so diverse and such a departure from the 80's. Grunge and introspective song writing were more important than catchy hooks. It was also one of the best decades for women artist. A few suggestions. More Jewel and Natalie Merchant. "Hands" by Jewel is one of the best songs about selflessness and compassion. Also, for your daughters Natalie Merchant's "Wonder" is a great song about fulfilling your destiny. And finally, please check out Maria McKee. She was with a cult band in the 80's called Lone Justice. Kind of a country, rock, alternative mix. Three songs that I love are "Don't Toss Us Away", "Am I the Only One", and "Nobody's Child"
AMEN, Amber. To ALL that you said in the break at around 5 min. I wish more people thought as you did. The world would BE in a much better place. I AM glad you are a mother who can pass on this message to your kids (& a teacher still? or even again in future - to pass this important message on to your students.) Of course J. seems to be of the same thought (which is helpful in a marriage) & can help cement the message in your kids. J. can also, even right now, pass this message on to his students (or, when school goes back into session in the Fall.) Have a good day, the both of you. Love from Canada. ❤
90's Music still bangs, hits hard in the feels like we're still still struggling to this day and people at the top in thier own bubble tell us not to worry that they have our backs. No one ever had my back, who I voted for, EVER!
I worked at an elementary school and our principal was just barely middle aged (I had about 10 years on him) and he was walking around the campus singing the lyrics he could remember of this song. When I heard him singing, I told him to go to his office and look up the lyrics before singing that around kids. He caught me later and started laughing while telling me thanks...that it had such a happy rhythm, but he had no idea it was about crystal meth... I laughed and and replied...no problem boss .. lmao.
Before he said “you know where it ends it but usually depends on where you start” Amber said don’t judge because you don’t know how they got in those situations. She’s a gift to this channel and everyone who watches it.
Everlast was the frontman for house of pain! Jump around was their biggest hit!
And House of Pain has an Oklahoma connection since one of the other guys from it runs the Outsiders Museum in Tulsa.
Shut up
i love jump around
My lil cousin was on mtv show where they sing the songs-I forget the name
But he did jump around in San Diego & went & spit game to Carmen Elektra.
Was pretty pimp
One of the other members from House of Pain later joined Limp Bizkit.

My favorite thing about the years ive been following these two is how Amber wears her heart on her sleeve. ❤ 🎸
I know, she always gets it, doesn’t she?
She’s amazing ❤️
She's such a beautiful person. Jay, you are one lucky, lucky man. You have such a gorgeous family!
She's an awesome female. Luv her.
She’s smart and amazing
I've seen a rich man beg
I've seen a good man sin
I've seen a tough man cry
I've seen a loser win
And a sad man grin
I heard an honest man lie (uh)
I've seen the good side of bad
And the downside of up
And everything between
I licked the silver spoon
Drank from the golden cup and smoked the finest green
Stroked the fattest dimes at least a couple of times
Before I broke their heart
You know where it ends, yo, it usually depends on where you start
What's the second part of this song I've heard it but can't remember
@@derrickgoodwin6192 Mary got pregnant from a kid named Tom that said he was in love
He said, "Don't worry about a thing, baby doll, I'm the man you've been dreaming of"
Three months later he say he won't date her or return her calls
And she swear, "Goddamn, if I find that man I'm cuttin' off his balls"
And then she heads for the clinic and she gets some static walking through the door
They call her a killer, and they call her a sinner and they call her a whore
God forbid you ever had to walk a mile in her shoes
'Cause then you really might know what it's like to have to choose

@@luckyleprechaun-e7h Agree. ❤
Everlast did a song with Carlos Santana in the late 90s called "Leave Your Lights On" that you should definitely check out
There were a bunch of those Santana collabs that were really good.
I love that song. It would work so well as the theme for a dark spooky tv show.
He also did Babylon Feeling with Carlos Santana
Omg, all of Supernatural is AMAZING!!!
That song is great. Santana did a song with Michelle Branch? I think? That was also very good.

Amber has such a beautiful heart ❤️
Amber is simply beautiful inside and out.
I love this song. Thank you for this reaction. Thank you, Miss Amber, for your kind words.
Love Everlast. You're right Amber empathy over judgement. Put that on a Tshirt. Checkout Ends by Everlast.
Yes ends is awesome
Best lyric in this song......"You know where it ends, yo, it usually depends on where you start"
Now that you've done Everlast, you NEED to do Everclear. Start with "Father Of Mine"
Or anything off the Songs from an American Movie album!
1:55 @Amber, your facial expression encompasses compassion and empathy. You are such a sweet soul. ✨
Yep... and Rob just flat out misses it. . . . Again.

@@bigsky1970 Lethal was also in House of Pain, and was his DJ during his pre- House of Pain days as well.

One of my favorite songs from that time,,,,so many songs from that time period,,,,,, listen to the words,,,, keep listening guys be safe
Thank you for what you said at the end, Amber. I think some of us needed to hear it🙏 ☮️
Check out the collab with Santana: Put your lights on.
Amber in the 70s the Band RENUION had a big hit called LIFE IS A ROCK BUT THE RADIO ROLLED ME 😎😤Its a comedy song with a very good 70s Sounds they mention a lot of the top Bands of the 60s and 70s Amber if you dont check this song out FASTyou will be dssapointed you waited so long when you do hear it for the first time Its🎼🎵 70s Gold big timeThank 4 all your reactions Rob Squad ,And thanks for helping the OLDIES BUT GOODIES stay Alive,
Such an incredible song. I'm so glad y'all chose the explicit version of this instead of the radio edit. While the lyrics can be offensive to some, it really gets the point across of the story. Amber was completely right. Who are we to judge? We should have empathy for our fellow man, regardless of how they got into the situation they are in. We are ALL human and we ALL make mistakes in life. Because God doesn't care where you've been...He cares about where you are going. Love you guys!
I saw that prayer that you prayed. Wonderful.
This song hit big when it came out. It made many think and left its mark.
Have to agree with others, Amber totally gets it.
Been awhile since you guys have done a Savage Garden song. Similar time period of music, so I'm going to suggest 'To The Moon & Back'.
Thanks for playing the uncensored cut.
The 90's were so diverse and such a departure from the 80's. Grunge and introspective song writing were more important than catchy hooks. It was also one of the best decades for women artist.
A few suggestions. More Jewel and Natalie Merchant. "Hands" by Jewel is one of the best songs about selflessness and compassion. Also, for your daughters Natalie Merchant's "Wonder" is a great song about fulfilling your destiny. And finally, please check out Maria McKee. She was with a cult band in the 80's called Lone Justice. Kind of a country, rock, alternative mix. Three songs that I love are "Don't Toss Us Away", "Am I the Only One", and "Nobody's Child"
Fabulous song, lyrics, tempo and gravitas. A young man with an amazing voice.
AMEN, Amber. To ALL that you said in the break at around 5 min. I wish more people thought as you did. The world would BE in a much better place.
I AM glad you are a mother who can pass on this message to your kids (& a teacher still? or even again in future - to pass this important message on to your students.)
Of course J. seems to be of the same thought (which is helpful in a marriage) & can help cement the message in your kids. J. can also, even right now, pass this message on to his students (or, when school goes back into session in the Fall.)
Have a good day, the both of you.
Love from Canada. ❤
It’s so crazy how we need the songs from back in the day right now. The messages the talent. Some of what’s missing today. We need these so bad today.
Really Cool!. His tune “Ends” really caught my attention back in the 90s. Still one of my fav tunes from around that time.
You need to check out "Ends" from the same album! It's a great song with a similar theme.
Absolute soul searcher of a song. Eyes closed and fully immersed in a heavy song
This was the theme song for a series called Saving Grace with Helen Hunt. Loved this song since hearing there years ago.
I thought that was Holly Hunter...
@@yurintroubl it very well could be! I wasn't sure if that was her name.
If you’re getting into Everlast, other great songs to listen to are, Black Jesus and Babylon Feeling featuring Carlos Santana
This is jsut the tip of the iceberg with Everlast. Phenomenal performer.
Loved this song from the first time I heard it.
Don't judge others....PERIOD!!!🎵🎼🎶💜💜
Always One of my favorites ❤
a true classic that will go down in history
😍This entire album was great!
You guys rock, keep it up yo.
Thank you for understanding empathy. It shouldn't have to happen to you for you to care.
One of the best songs ever. Period.
90's Music still bangs, hits hard in the feels like we're still still struggling to this day and people at the top in thier own bubble tell us not to worry that they have our backs. No one ever had my back, who I voted for, EVER!
Great song and y'all totally got his message . Good people .
PERFECT reaction and welcome to this song. It has moved me for 30 years.
Name one hip-hop artist that will still have their hit played everyday on the radio 30 years later. Classic track.👊
Big Big Song this...Still A Banger now...
I worked at an elementary school and our principal was just barely middle aged (I had about 10 years on him) and he was walking around the campus singing the lyrics he could remember of this song. When I heard him singing, I told him to go to his office and look up the lyrics before singing that around kids. He caught me later and started laughing while telling me thanks...that it had such a happy rhythm, but he had no idea it was about crystal meth... I laughed and and replied...no problem boss .. lmao.
It's one of the greatest songs ever written!
What a masterpiece for this genre of music, just brilliantly crafted.
Before he said “you know where it ends it but usually depends on where you start” Amber said don’t judge because you don’t know how they got in those situations. She’s a gift to this channel and everyone who watches it.
Everlast was a rapper that was part of the syndicate, ice-t posse, and then was with house of pain.
He is in the rap trio House of Pain (also from the 90s). Their biggest hit is Jump Around. You should definitely do it, I think you'll dig it.
One of the greatest songs ever written
I love this song. Empathy, tolerance, understanding and kindness are things that just aren't common enough today.
Everlast is a very underrated lyricist. Guy knows life.
What Amber said in the middle of the song, yeah....that was beautiful
