    REM originally did this song for distraught teens and the rise in teenage suicide.
    They said they never imagined the amount of people of all ages and backgrounds that told them this song has saved their lives.
    His voice is so haunting in this song, yet it has a message of unity and hope at the same time.
    It came out in 1992.

      @Meine.Postma In the interview I've read Michael Stipe did not mention that the song was specifically about Kurt Cobain although yes they were friends.
      He stated it was about an anti-suicide message focusing on teens and young adults because of the spike in self-harm and suicide in that age bracket.
      Either way, it is a hauntingly beautiful song that has helped so many people across the world.

    I first heard this song when is was released in 1992. My father died, drowning in his own blood, in front of me on the kitchen floor, 16 days after in my 18th birthday, in 1992.
    That song helped me survive that year.
    And ever since, each and every time I hear it, I burst in tears.
    It hits SO deep, SO true, for EVERYONE, ever, all over the world.
    Take comfort in your friends, indeed ... without my friends in that 1992 year, I would have thrown up my hand and let go of life.

    I had actually thought the same thing- this song is right up your alley and in the spirit of the channel. Glad you quickly picked up on how the captions went from the lyrics to all the thoughts all the people were having. I still remember the first time I saw this video, because I had that same reaction to the big moment: suddenly he opens his mouth to sing the words, and then everybody (who hurts) gets out of their cars at the same time. And all of them just go walking away together. I think it’s a metaphor to reinforce the message of the song- everybody, every one of us, we’re hurting in some way, but at the same time there’s a real unity to that.

      The silly misconception that cheery music is helpful when you are down never makes sense to me. When you are really down a happy song makes no sense and for me it just makes me resent the idea that anyone can feel happy when I have been depressed. The stuff that reaches you when you are down is often music saying "Yeah life can be really shitty, but you aren't alone"

    I still remember in high school, we were doing a workshop about save driving and we ended up watching a video featuring driving accidents, victims, their families, and this song played through the whole video. Everyone in that auditorium was crying that afternoon, myself included. There's mainly two songs that always make me break down and cry whenever I hear them. One of them is this one, and the other is "Monsters" by James Blunt. Highly recommend that one if you haven't listened to it yet.

This first time i heard it i was on my way to a secluded place to end my life, and hearing this song stopped me, reminded me of all the things i should hang on for, i should live for, a d that i was not alone in it.
    The song is "Swim" by Jack's Mannequin. There is qn official video for it too. Its a song that means a lot to me, and i hope it can mean a lot to many people. Hopefully it can help someone like it helped me.

    "The night is always lonelier" - it's the opposite for me, strangely. I'm mostly nocturnal, and I have trouble being reliably active in daytime. When I do go outside in daylight, everything feels too bright. And the people who are out in the day never feel like they're really "there" to me. Almost everyone who's out during the day is in a constant process of trying to be somewhere else, while people who are out at night are often wandering but happy to be where they are, or are already somewhere they want to be, and planning to stay there a while. Being out at night feels comforting and safe for me, in contrast to most people finding it lonely and empty and often scary.

    EVERYONE has their "Dark times" in life. It is what we do about it/ how we handle it that matters. I think of this song when I have my melancholy moments. Only what "I" think is what matters; others don't know or may not understand. People are judgmental without full knowledge and those "types," are really the inadequate ones. They see you as weak because you are vulnerable at that moment, but it is truly THEY who are weak and need to feed on your vulnerability.
    Me: I'm a loner, but not lonely. When I'm down; I pause and take stock. I realize that time is temporal, and realize that the current situation is too, and time will pass it by. LOOK FORWARD: NOT where you are at the moment.

    Hi Amanda !!!
    Another great reaction!!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
    The first things I want to tell you are...Hold!! Do not change!! Keep It up!!!! I tell you this because I am sadly watching many reaction channels disappear on YT, and I hope that your channel stays alive for a long time and that it grows, more, more and more.
    I have been following you for some time but I have never written to you because: (1) I am quite shy with people I don't know, and (2) I have little time, and (3) muy english smells like a dead ratt inside a dead cat.
    I would like to make you a recommendation, if you allow me...
    In many of your videos, I think I remember, you say how much you like the sound of guitars And, in this sense, I think that one of the best songs (probably number one) I can recommend its Stars from Hear n Aid.
    I'll tell you a little bit:
    Since you are very young, I want to recommend this song from 1985 (I'm sure that in that year you weren't even a little person project) and maybe you don't know.
    HEAR N'AID - "STARS"
    The Hear n' Aid project was metal's response to pop music charities such as Band Aid and USA For Africa; whose organizers had not invited anyone from hard rock/metal (as almost always, very reviled) So the metalheads did it on their own.
    Hear n' Aid was founded in 1985 by Ronnie James Dio, a long-time contributor to numerous charitable projects over the years. Hear n' Aid didn't get much media coverage and didn't achieve box office sales like Band Aid or USA for Africa, but it generated a respectable amount of revenue.
    Ronnie James Dio (Dio/Black Sabbath/Rainbow/Elf), Jimmy Bain (Dio/Rainbow) and Vivian Campbell (Dio/Def Leppard) were responsible for writing "Stars", the single originally written that would help generate income for the hunger.
    In May 1985, Dio gathered more than 40 hard rock/metal musicians from around the world, and they recorded the song "Stars."
    The following is a list of lead vocals:
    Ronnie James Dio: from Dio
    Dave Meniketti: from Y&T (Yesterday & Today)
    Rob Halford: from Judas Priest
    Kevin Dubrow: from Quiet Riot
    Eric Bloom: from Blue Oyster Cult
    Paul Shortino: from Rough Cutt
    Geoff Tate: from Queensryche
    Don Dokken: from Dokken
    The highlight, for me, is the guitar solo, which consists of 7 chained guitar solos, in turn divided into several parts, but perfectly united so that it almost seems like a single solo. The transitions are perfect. And, although it is quite long, I am sure it will stay in your head.
    GUITAR SOLOS:
    - 1st solo in 4 parts: Craig Goldy/Eddie Ojeda/Craig Goldy/Eddie Ojeda (from the bands Giuffria/Twisted Sister)
    - 2nd solo in 3 parts: Vivian Campbell/Brad Gillis/Vivian Campbell (from the bands Dio/Night Ranger)
    - 3rd solo in 3 parts: Neal Schon/George Lynch/Neal Schon (from the bands Journey/Dokken)
    - 4th solo in 3 parts: Yngwie Malmsteen/Vivian Campbell/ Yngwie Malmsteen (from the bands Yngwie Malmsteen/ Dio)
    - 5th solo in 4 parts: George Lynch/Carlos Cavazo/George Lynch/Carlos Cavazo (from the bands Dokken/Quiet Riot)
    - 6th solo in 2 parts: Brad Gillis, Craig Goldy (from the bands Night Ranger, Giuffria)
    - 7th solo: Donald "Buck Dharma" Roeser (from the band Blue Oyster Cult) Last solo and Outro of this part.
    All of the melodic guitars (or rhythm guitars) lines were performed by Adrian Smith and Dave Murray (both from Iron Maiden).
    Bass: Jimmy Bain (from Dio)
    Drums: Vinny Appice (from Dio)
    Keyboards: Claude Schnell (from Dio)
    This song has the great advantage that, by having numerous singers and guitarists, all of them of very high level, it will allow you to decide if any of them deserve to be heard with their respective bands. This is the song that I always recommend to get started in the world of hard rock/metal.
    REACT OR NOT REACT, THAT IS THE QUESTION....
    If you decide to react to this recommendation,...WoW!!!
    I hope you like it as much as I do.
    But if you decide not to react, I will understand, cause you must receive thousands of recomendations and not everything can be addressed. And I will continue being a subscriber to your Channel and giving you likes, whatever you decide. It is a recommendation, not an order. There are people who get very angry when their suggestion is not heeded. Your Channel, your rules. No one has to tell you what to do and what not to do.
    Anyway, if you decide not to react, I highly recommend that you listen to this song in private, just for yourself, because I really think you will like it.
    Make sure you get a correct link. My favorite is this one below:
    th-cam.com/video/xl15Wj2MwUw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=rvza6yPHdLXSzyRm
    ...although the list of lead guitars is divided incorrectly in the video. Trust the list I gave you above because I have an original vinyl and it appears like this (and you can check it by watching the video)
    CONCLUSION:
    This song is a "kind of summary" of the hard rock/metal of the first half of the 80s

      I am glad you opened up because I have never heard of this either, and I am almost fifty years old. They literally got NO press about this... Thank you very much for sharing, I am also going to check it out. I really hope Amanda will, it sounds so cool and it was for a great cause. :)

    Seeing the honesty of your channel in addressing the important subject of mental health, I am amazed you do not have Peter Gabriel's video "Don't Give Up" with Kate Bush. Genesis also has some very interesting music and lyrics that touch on much of what you are aiming towards. Check them out, please. (Peter Gabriel came from Genesis, then Phil Collins took over). Phil Collins also has some very meaningful music. I have not checked for these next two bands, but assume you have reviewed (or certainly WILL view) the Cranberries 'Zombie' video and Disturbed's 'Down With the Sickness' (long version). A lot of thematic material in those songs!

    I've heard this song quite a few times, or at least the chorus anyway. Never knew it was by REM though. I highly recommend checking out "The Strong" by Eva Under Fire and Home Free's collab with Mark Wills on his song "Don't Laugh at Me", if you haven't seen them already. They'll both fit very well with your message and content.

    Hi Amanda hope you are well. Everybody Hurts is one my fave songs by R.E.M next to Losing My Religion also by R.E.M. 2 other songs you should check out if you haven't already are 1 Forever Autumn by Justin Hayward it reminds me of my girlfriend who died that I told you about before because Autumn/Fall was our fave time of year. One verse in particular in the song makes me think of her the most but they are mainly happy memories. My second suggestion is Return To Innocence by Enigma the lyrics of it are so deep. I also want to say thank you for being the wonderful person you are. I've been through a lot in my life also but I will talk about that another time.

    You should do a reaction to Hello by Evanescence. Amy Lee wrote it about the loss of her younger sister when she was a child. Its POV is dealing with the grief as a child and growing up. Its a hauntingly beautiful song.

    I tend to like songs that have deep meaningful themes and are generally uplifting and/or hopeful.
    Songs by my favorite band, Styx, are mostly that way - from hits like "Fooling Yourself" and "Come Sail Away" to others with deep meanings and introspective tones like "Man In The WIlderness" and "Castle Walls".
    Note: If you do "Come Sail Away" do the original studio version or live from 1996's "Return To Paradise" and NOT the Official MTV video.

    I'll never understand basic human emotions. You talk about everyone hurting at some point, and for me getting over things is so easy, it happened, now you go on. For a lot of people they tend to constantly think about what happened, and it weighs down on them. The problem is never what happened, it is just how often you think about it. Stop thinking about the bad, and move on with life, good or bad. Just move on, don't let anything bring you down. Me talking to someone 1 on 1 is different than just reading my comment here. But you can't just focus on things that have happened. If it was a bad experience, let go of that memory, remember it, but don't let it affect you. This is for every aspect of life, any addiction, if you don't want it, don't do it. If you cannot control your brain to the point to make decisions, I have no solution for you.

    • @MentalAmanda
      @MentalAmanda  8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It's not about emotion. Some find moving on or not thinking about it simple. Some are plagued with intrusive thoughts that no amount of wishing away or reasoning away will combat. It's a process, a skill that many have to learn. Not everyone learned to control their brain and, sometimes, the brain hijacks the person and they lose the ability to rationalize. You are neurotypical, so your brain seems to be working correctly. Myself and many here are neurodivergent, so it does not work correctly and requires intervention.
