It's funny how you can hear a song so many times over the years and yet all of a sudden find something in it you never realised previously. That's the beauty of fantastic music.

[Toad_McLoad]

Watching her listen for the first time is the closest feeling to actually HEARING it for the first time. Hearing someone accurately articulate WHY the song feels the way it does is awesome.

[TheMotivationMolecule]

Daron Malakian and Serj Tankian singing together is one of my favorite harmonies ive ever heard. They compliment each others voices like brothers.

[alwolfy]

Whenever this song gets played in our local metal bar everyone sings along. When it gets towards the end (Father, Father etc) the passion everyone has given me goosebumps every time. There are a few metal songs that seem to connect to the metalhead spirit and this is definitely one of them.

[TheSmeltork]

SOAD has a unique ability to be simultaneously silly, serious, ugly, angry, sad, and beautiful. The end of this song is so beautiful.

[chrisr]

For more SOAD recommendations, "Question!" is a wild one. "Hypnotize" could be a good one for analysis as well since if gives both Serj and Daron solo vocal sections as well as combined sections.

[mattlebel]

It’s so nice to see someone taking this music seriously and seeing the artistry and talent. I’m guessing that’s why so many metal heads watch this channel. Like, I am not really interested in the mechanics of singing, but I can’t stop watching just because she actually appreciates music that we’ve all been told is trash for decades.

[paulbrooks]

This song made me weep many times. It speaks of rejection, emptiness, denial, and hope that someone may hear our cry.

[soulrebornofficial]

Am I the only one who still shivers despite having listened to SOAD songs thousands of times?

[avivyoutube]

Her: "this is so deep, emotional and exciting at the same time, I am so moved"

Me: "drums go BRRRT"

[nunoalmeida]

Can we all take a moment to appreciate the passion and detail she puts in this videos?

[amandajackson.]

Your kind of giddy reaction at 1:38 made me grin so hard _while_ getting misty-eyed. Literally, my favourite thing in life is getting to show and watch people experience my favourite things for the first time because I don't get to myself. Some people don't 'get' why reaction videos like this exist (especially ones where, unlike you, the person reacting has no speciality or expertise to offer), but oh boy do they satisfy something within me. This was actually the first song I ever learned to cover in completion when I started playing drums almost two decades ago (I was an overachiever _and_ determined).

[javiervigil]

This song mimics the highs and lows someone with depression feels. The moments of calm interspersed with the chaos of your thoughts.

[moonhowler]

"Lonely Day" is a great one for hearing more of Daron. The harmonization gives me chills every time. It has little more of a somber and restrained soft of feel to it.

[SKy_the_Thunder]

"Mood Whiplash, the Song"
This song sounds how depression feels. The constant tension, only interrupted by either emotional outbursts or bouts of melancholy, switching unpredictably; self-blame ("You wanted to!") questioning existence itself ("Why have you forsaken me?"), feeling fundamentally misunderstood ("I don't think you trust...") and so much more... And they still manage to turn it into an "acceptable" outlet for those feelings...

[CinemaSeven]

God I remember when this song's video debuted. It was September 10, 2001. I immediately fell in love with this band. By the date you can judge what happened next. Still an amazing intro to a fantastic band.

[MorwenWhyte]

It's been more than 20 years and I still can't listen to Serj Tankian's voice without getting emotional. That's how powerful a performer he's.

[traillesstravelled]

The amount of joy I get when "trained professionals" actually listen to "hard/heavy" etc. type music and realize how talented they are. 🤘

[pippafinland]

The strangest thing is, when you already love a song and then someone with the greatest insight goes through it, and you love the song even more. Thank you, Elizabeth! ❤

[HomicidalThr]

What's really cool about SOAD is that even though I've met a lot of people that weren't really into Metal or its counter parts, they almost always loved a SOAD song or the band its self. They really have a way of reaching people regardless of their tastes and preferences. They really are one of a kind.
