"Pisces swimming through the river all their life against the stream, , searching for a hook to catch on and see their sunbeam" is a heartbreaking lyric when you think about it, willing to risk everything reaching for the light

This is an interesting twist on music reactions. Using them to start important conversations is a great idea. I like it. And of course it never gets old seeing people's first reaction to Jinjer.

Tatiana's lyrics are always a good choice for these discussions because Tatiana is so open about her anxieties she goes through as a performer, as an introvert and as a Russian from war torn Ukraine who rose above her situation to come to where she is. In my experience she is truly the most impressive human being I have ever met. Strong, talented, smart, creative and able to go out every night on stage despite her aversion to crowds and put on a dynamic show as the center of attention. Also imperfect and not afraid to say so.

Clicked without knowing what channel it was🤘Jinjer never gets old.

Her critique of this song, which I've heard a million times, is probably one of the best I have heard. I kind of understand this song in a new way!

[kingu]

Very intelligent woman! Thanks for the reaction!

[dejzzster]

Its nice to listen to the people with the brain and empathy... respect!

Metal is a goldmine for mental health discussion. Songs sometimes allow ppl to convey a message that resonates more profoundly which is a good predecessor for this conversation.

Wow - Imagine being deeply into mental health and not having listened to metal! Seems inconceivable to me. Metal is one of my most effective mental health support mechanisms. Recommended.

Great reaction! Great video. One thing about the Metal Community, is that we are ALL brothers and sisters. You go to a show, you’ll be looked after in that way. You’re one of us, and will be taken care of. Go down the rabbit hole, it’s a blessed journey. Welcome! 🤘

Although she said it was a shock, she seemed pretty chilled, her facial reaction was like "Huh?" Lol. One of the most composed reactions I've seen to Tati. I love her interpretation of the lyrics. Many people associate the lyrics just with Tati, and how she is a Pisces. But we can associate the lyrics with anyone. When she said that there is a part of you, when you're going through depression or contemplating suicide, that is hurting, it hit me and brought back a memory of thinking that as a young man. I don't think that anymore, but when she said that, it resonated with me and I didn't think of that or associated that with this song.

Jinjer is always a rollercoaster. It is always a great ride.

[Merble]

People usually gloss over the lyrical value of this song because of the 'shock factor' so I appreciate yall taking the time to dig into them.

[spiknaaj]

Love this! “Pit of Consciousness” is another one I think you guys would get a lot out of, exploring the darkness that one can find themself in. 🤘🏻

[slaterbater]

These reactions never get old. She is freakin amzing and WyKisha is 100% right, the range, talent, and power of Tatiana are mindblowing. Great video!

[slymind]

i lost her name, but your reactor / guest, shes amazing! i do enjoy jinger lmao, tati is just so good, as well as the band.... but your guest, ma'am you took the unexpected in stride, and went with it, and had positives to say about i need people like you in my life.

[Nachtschicht]

I'm not so much into Jinjer, but this song is a masterpiece. Reminds me of older Opeth songs.
For someone who listens to metal a lot, this is still a very mellow song, but if you don't listen to metal at all, this maybe a harsh start.

[djfattytuna]

"Perennial, " "Wallflower" and "Pit of Consciousness" come to mind, as do "Dreadful Moments" and "Retrospection."

[Metal_Archaeologist]

WyKisha is awesome. Loved her perspective. Loved the reaction. Duality in us all? Peace!

[xmateosx]

WyKisha, love you're attitude and your smile. Keep going sister
