You're a very beautiful lady. I enjoy your positivity even when going through tough times.😊

Prayers Lauren always great seeing you ❤️

"Mr. Porcupine" 💀 ugh- I love it

I'm not saying anything new, but take your time, and we'll be here for you, even we're that far away.

BTW, the unrequited version of this song is "Please, please please, let me get what I want."

I've never found this song depressing. It reminds me of that time in life when you feel like nobody understands you. You just want to leave and drive until you find a place where you can start over and be someone else.

Happy to see your return. Sorry to hear about your mom. Hugs.

Jonathan is rocking the kilt.

I've said this before, but I'm a fellow teacher too! As for my username, you pronounce it the exact same way I do, so that's quite alright lol! It's just a random nickname derived from my real life name. You described the loss of a loved one the same way I think of it. It never gets better or easier, we don't really ever heal from it. Life simply pushes us to move on and we get used to it and learn to tolerate this new state. I'm really sorry for your loss. Thanks for the answer!

Hey Lauren, great to see you back, and my condolences on your loss. A question for you - how do you find you respond to music, in your bereavement? Do you want to hear things that help you escape from sorrow, or help you lean into it?

Better than the studio version!👏

Two of them don’t have dreadlocks. One has big puffy hair, and the other is Joey.

The guy cutting himself from the first video was Maniac, who was actually kicked out of Mayhem in 2004 for being too insane. He picked up the habit of doing that on stage to honor a previous vocalist, Dead, who famously committed suicide and then had his dead body used for the cover art of "Dawn of the Black Hearts," a live album they put out a few years later.

Truly, I am very sorry for your loss. My Mother passed May 5th 2023. We had her here at our home for her last 3 months. You feel the way you feel. There is no right or wrong in those feelings. I know, some random guy, in a comment section, speaking my mind on grief. I do know it get’s better. There is a transition that happens when a loved one passes, from loving someone while they are here, to loving those dear people in memory. You are exactly right. Time is precious. Hang in there.

Welcome back and hope to see more Smiths joy from you, but only when you’re ready. Treasure the good days and the memories ❤

I care not where u been. Happy to see u

U so different I worried bout u

I'm so sorry about your mom. I missed you on this channel. I got into Slipknot around the same time as you, so it was a fun adventure to go through their music with you. Glad to see you are possibly making a comeback.

just started getting into your channel, i'm sorry for your loss, so glad your back ❤

So great seeing you back, and I look forward to more of your videos, in whatever capacity works for you. You make CZcams a better place! There's some cringe for you.

well said about slipknot! i started listening to them when i was about 14, now i'm 33. when i was going through those teen years their music really sort of gave me something to relate to and probably helped shaped who i am today.

Love this piece... thought of it because of your recent QnA Glad you're getting back into it 🤘

Here we go again...would you be so kind to play Shifters from Katatonia...thanks in Advance...greetings from Chile!

Even Fat Mike (lead singer) says his singing voice is definitely not great lol. Trust me, you're not being too harsh.

Sorry to hear about your Mom.

Sorry for your loss, but glad you are back. Tool Army is always here for you.

Sorry to hear about your mom. I’m actually leaving tomorrow for a camping trip that we will be spreading both my parent’s ashes. It does get easier, but never “better” if that makes any sense at all. Hang in there! 😘

“I think I’m doomed” I’m only 2 months into being a Ghost fan I FEEL THIS SO MUCH

It’s good to see and hear from you. I’m sorry for your loss, and I’m taking your words and advice to heart. Sending love to you and Mocha.

This song is a perfect example that Morrissey spoke in a way that no other lyricist spoke. He addresses uncelebrated feelings. What other lyricist would write "It's so easy to laugh, it's so easy to hate, it takes guts to be gently and kind...". The Smiths speak to me more than any other artist of the 1980's.

Most of the ghouls have specific parts in the choir, especially the ones on the risers at the back, playing keybords, additional guitars and rhythmic instruments.

It's good to see you. So sorry about your mom. I hope you are able to come back to making videos, but take all the time you need. 💜

Lauren you are awesome. I love Chevelle. It is how I found you. But for some reason Chevelle is not a reactor's gold mine. It seems the best route is to react to the videos that have many, many millions of views, and then the ones all the other reactors react to. It seems to be the formula.

❤

Virtual hugs and much love to you and your brother and the rest of your family. I almost lost my mom couple years back. She still has her ups and downs sometimes falls down. It's always been us. My dad passed away before I was born. My grandparents on my dad's side passed away 11 years now. I still wish I could call them just to tell them how my day was or tell them a promotion I had from a job. There are days I just break down and cry. I could be just grocery shopping. They weren't just my grandparents they were my best friends. I told them more stuff more I've told my mom. Much love from the real ones.

I just got sober for the 2nd time. I'm 33 and I'm very scared of when I lose my mom. She's not in the best of health lately.

Love the shirt

Haha, thanks for the answer! R is short for my name, and Method is my artist name. All the best to you!

Welcome back! ...and take your time, we'll always be here🌻

I have some questions so I'll post them here since I missed your community post (bummer) and maybe you'll get to them: 1. Since you're not loving the angry metal songs at the moment, what genres or other types of music would you like us to recommend? You mentioned Radiohead, so if you've never heard Street Spirit, I'll throw it in the form, but I'm curious about what else you might be interested in. 2. Did you watch the Ghost movie/concert, "Rite Here Rite Now"? 3. Would you see them in concert?

I guess I'm one of the 3 that watched to the end. 😁 Yes, it's real that we missed you. You are one of a kind, and that's a good thing. You are much appreciated. 💕 My sub to your channel will remain active for when you return with reactions. True, I avoid the bands I don't like, but will be waiting in the wings regardless. Sincere condolences for your loss. 😔 P.S. My coffee looks like yours. 😅

Glad to see you back, Lauren! Sorry to hear about your loss. I figured you were just busy with real life stuff. Looking forward to new videos whenever you get around to putting them out.

Hey, take care Lauren. I'm very sorry to hear about your mom. You're a really wonderful person with a big heart.

Youre awesome lauren..we'd love to have more videos about just you and your life and shit thats going on

My day has been horrible, and this has been the bright spot of my day... not saying much, but you know, could be construed as positive : )

We missed you, Lauren ❤

you're the most boring person I've seen.

I am so sorry for your loss.

god you're so lame Karen

My condolences! Of course I hope that you find "good" ways to grief. And since you mention that time does not change anything... in psychology the rule of thumb is that the big part of mourning takes one year, and only then time will do its job. I hope you had the possibility to say goodbye in some form... However, Radiohead would be surely a good soundtrack to such a part in life next to The Smiths! Even more so without the hassle of reacting to it. Pyramid Song comes to mind. Sorry, I'm babbling, no one can make anything better. Keep yourself busy ... when possible ... and if this means making some whatever YT video, we are here.
