You can actually FEEL his pain. Dexter is a criminally underrated singer.
It is a great song but does not match the emotion captured in their song When you are in prison. Tears everytime I hear it.
@@seewhatisee8750 If I remember correctly, this is one of their earlier songs. Pretty Fly came out later.
Agree 100%!
If you want to really feel the pain in this son, you should check out the Five Finger Death Punch cover. Really hits hard coming from them
â@@audiochicky Slightly earlier... not much. Ixnay on the Hombre (1997) was their 4th album and Americana (1998) was their 5th.
I listened to this a LOT when I lost my mother, sister and father within six months of each other and I was going through a divorce too. I felt so completely alone and their deaths were devastating to me. I had my kids, but I couldn't lay my burdens on them. They were just kids.
So I would just drive and play this song as loud as possible. We have no control over death, but it still leaves you sad and angry. Music was definitely my therapy back then. This song was part of my therapeutic process.
I still listen to this song. Even before I lost my family, this song was one of my favorites by Offspring.
So sorry lost my boy my father 6 months later then my mother, itâs so hard to not be angry but itâs grief great great love is hard to lose đ„
I'm so sorry for your loss. You're so right, music IS therapeutic. Hope you're doing well!
To you ma'am I'm going to say my thoughts and prayers are with you. I lost my father and sister within 2 months. I can understand those feelings. I'm not married I can't identify there. But if you have your children, turn to them and love on them as much as possible. Be an amazing mom to them. And any really close friends you have lean on them when you need to. If they're true friends they'll be there.
Thanks to all of you for your kindness. For those who"ve endured painful losses as I have, I wish you peace and comfort. Thanks to Brad and Lex for reacting to great songs and always being entertaining with their reactions.
Wow. So sorry for your great losses. đą
By far the best Offspring song. Itâs haunting and sad and it rocks.
It is a great song. The Kids aren't alright is my favorite.
Defy you was sneaky good.
It's good ,but so many better especially on smash.
I envy the confidence to be able to unequivocally state any one song is the best of The Offspring.
I go back to before they were big pop stars. My favorite is Jenniferâs Lost the War.
The last time I saw them live, they played this song on a grand piano with the singer playing and surrounded by candles. The band came in for the last part of the song. It was so amazing and touching.
2:32 wtf is Lex smoking how do you not hear the words of a song and read the lyrics on the screenđ đđ€Ł
Not everyone can multitask apparently
She be off in Lex World tranced tf out đ€·ââïžđ€Ł
Singer has a great high sound that isn't over the top but gives you great feelings
Agreed
Heard this song hundreds of times but funny how I never paid attention to the lyrics until now. Itâs actually much more deep than I thought. Thanks for enlightening me a little today!
Yeah, this is about his girlfriend/fiancé and the mother to his daughter whose an adult now. His Fiancé was killed in a car accident. I could be wrong, but I know she died tragically.
The Five Finger Death Punch cover of this tries to capture the feel of the song more, but I still prefer the Offspring original.
@@Elzzaw a cover of any song can never capture the feel intended by the writers.
@@mpkelley20 There have been close ones, or at least ones that have transformed it well enough to contend with the original like Disturbed's Sound of Silence.
I never knew what it was about either.
Yeah...this time, the "vibe" really can't be hammered into this one. This is so literal. Literally wailing for a lost friend/family member, wanting to trade places, etc
The Offspring are truly one of the if not the most underrated bands of the 90âs/2000âs. The lead singer Dexter has a PHd in molecular biology and they are all big brains that just got together and made AMAZING music! Check out âgotta get awayâ next.
Why did they steal a FFDP song?
That âyeah ooooo yeah ooooooâ still gives me chills after 20 years.
I love how Lex always comes up with completely random off the wall interpretations of songs. âThis song is a vibe about airplane food.â đ
Maybe she's dys"lex"ic so words repel her.
Yeah. She said it had nothing to do with airplane food. That it was about the feeling you get when you have to take the airplane food even though it's not what you want but it's all you're going to get. She expressed that feeling using airplane food. But she alluded that one could also express the feeling using the words "death of a friend" (just a different level of intensity - for most folks). Like, it makes you sick to your stomach, but you gotta get on with it. That she didn't pay attention to the lyrics but still came very close to the meaning of the song was quite amazing.
I fucking hate it...it makes her sound so stupid. She was tying to call this song bland, like airplane food till he said it was about death. Usually the pretty girl brings up a reaction show, but every time Lex talks and puts her foot in her mouth, its really REALLY hard to keep watching.
@@visarr dude, your making her sound like some sort of profit, you are just hearing what you wanna hear. Before she found out the song lyrics about death she was comparing it to airplane food cause she thought the sound was bland and she was forced to "eat it" even though she didn't really like it.
@@db212006 The music is full of angst and helplessness - and so are the lyrics. Unlike Morrisey who writes happy music set to morose lyrics (Girlfriend in a Coma), they match in this song. At 2:56, she says "you have to accept it". Afterwards at 3:09, she asks "it's about death?". At 6:32, Brad says "I don't know how you do it".
"If I could trade, I would" Breaks me every time.
One of my favorite songs of all time. So much feeling and emotion in this song.
Brings me right back to the 90s or whenever it was lol
This song rips me open every time. I think anyone who has lost someone if they grasp what this is about will be affected the same.
Song was for his GF who passed. I had the honor of seeing these guys in concert last month on the 27th for the first time and it was one of the best performances of all time. Everybody can relate to this song..
Yeah she died in a car accident đąđą
he said in an interview not that long though that him and his girlfriend were at an ice cream shop and it got shot up, he covered her body she survived and within a week he wrote that song cuz it was a life-changing experience..
No it's not.
No itâs not Dexter was married from 92 to 2012 until the divorce
Gotta Get Away is my favorite by them by far. The bass and drums in that are outstanding.
I always liked this song since it was first released but after my wife of 43 years suddenly and unexpectedly passed away, it took on a whole new meaning to me. Every verse, every line, and every word of this song is exactly how I was feeling.
Although I canât truly help, know that I am sorry for your loss brother.
The Offspring are always making you think. And extreme rocking tunes.
A truly great song for those who ever lost someone close to them.
Brad had the meaning of the song right, I don't know where Lex is coming from. Airplane food. Huh? lmao.
he read the lyrics. she didn't and just got the feeling of having to accept something you don't like and used airplane food as one example.
Airplane food=death
What, you don't think the song is about airplane peanuts?
@@johngillespie3409 yeah bro, she's kinda cuckoo, what's with her reactions lol
@@johngillespie3409 Agreed.
This song is so sad but is followed by one of the happiest sounding songs on the album. I always love that contrast whenever I listen to it.
One of my favorite songs by them indeed. Got to see them once
This song makes me cry every sense I lost my daughter. If Iâm in a public place and this song comes on it takes everything I have to not cry , most times I canât hold it back . Itâs been 3 years now and it hurts soooo bad.
Iâm sorry that happened to you. â„ïž
@@ballzorusrex3701 Thank you Rex
Man you just made me cry. Sorry for your loss.
@@ct.shroomer3558 Sorry Shroomer
Iâm with you. I played this song every day multiple times after my son passed away. April makes 11 years for me. It never gets easier.
"Come out and Play" by Offspring is just as relevant today as it was then. Strong lyrics great message.
A great Offspring song. Again they should have played the video if possible.
I've seen the video. They didn't miss anything.
most of the time if they play the real video it will get flagged for copyright... its lame as hell....
I love that sexy lexy was completely oblivious to the songs meaning at first and good old reliable Brad is like "who died?"
Song hit the radio as I was going to the funeral home for the visitation for my brother. I felt every word of this song. Yeah, I would've traded places as he had just turned 26 & I'm 15 years older.
Hands down their best, rawest, realest track. And saddest.
This came out about the same time a teammate of mine that I knew since we were little kids committed suicide and it always made me think of him.
R.I.P. #14 đ»
This song takes me back. For some reason, I tied this song to my grandma dying of cancer when I was younger. I never got over it, and never will. She held my family together, and it strikes the heart so intensely. Between this song and Days Go By, itâs their two most underrated songs
Holy crap ! I heard this song years ago and could never find out who played it.
This is so cool.
Awesome tune
I dedicated this song to my Mother who passed away at the age of 59. I play it for her every year on the anniversary of the day she died. Still brings tears to my eyes.
This song came out a few months before my cousin died. This one hit home.
Hahaha this is probably one of the most straightforward songs in terms of lyrics imho. I usually miss the meanings of songs on the first listen but this one is an exception lol. "flowers on your grave" = death of loved one, "world has grown cold now that you've gone away" = death of loved one, "I reach to the sky and call out your name" = death of loved one, "if I could trade, I would" = death of loved one, "it feels like heaven's so far away" = death of loved one. Dexter is literally screaming in your face about his feelings after losing a loved one. Not sure where the airplane food interpretation came from but it made me laugh so I can't really complain.
yeaahhh that was so strange
Not gonna lie, I'm a little disappointed you didn't catch the message of the songs lyrics. I wouldn't complain but for the fact that this song is one of the most tortured heartbreaking songs and I just want you to listen again and feel that deep emotion being conveyed. That said I laughed at your airplane food take đ€Ł
Agreed
100%
its interesting how she embraces some music. But I can understand what shes trying to say, some songs you focus on the lyrics, others the instrument(s), and other songs ill focus on the tone or emotion. Like when you listen to a song thats in a different language, you dont know the words but we eventualy develop a perception of our own making with the song. Airplane food....not exactly a strong metaphor in comparing with death/ loss. Maybe she was trying to express acceptance and/or denial.
I think these guys miss most meanings of lyrics
2:57 "DEATH, YOU HAVE TO ACCEPT IT. IT SUCKS, JUST LIKE AIRPLANE FOOD, BUT THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT." Brad the philosopher has spoken!
they did a great reworking of this song for their latest album, more haunting
THis is the song where, if i suopped in my car, and this was still playing, you left the car running til it was finshed before turning off. It owned everything
You guys would make a good sitcom couple. Your energies are so different and play well off of each other lolz
This song is special to me. My dad died young almost 19 years ago and I make it a point to visit his grave every Father's day and his birthday. Somehow, this song ends up playing on the radio every time I make that trip. Even 19 years after his death and 24 years or so after the song's release
This band has been quietly kicking ass since the early 80sđ
Quietly??
@@BalbazaktheGreat they were around in one form or another for 10 years before hitting it big in 94. So yeah, not a lot of people knew they existed before then.
@@TubinTexas I just thought it was funny that you called a punk band "quiet."
One of the best songs by The Offspring!!
I feel like an idiot, I have literally listened to this song thousands of times and I never thought of looking up the lyrics. The song is so upbeat I would just jam out to it not realizing exactly what it was about. Wow đ
dexter's range is incredible and massively underrated
The two extremes of Lex are funny. Sometimes she'll have this amazing insight into a song that is completely spot-on. And then there these times:
Song: My friend died. I'm so sad about my friend's death. Why did he have to die?
Lex: What? This song is about death?
LOL
Honestly makes it kinda hard to watch sometimes when she says "I haven't been paying attention to the lyrics"
@@josefstalin9678 Especially when they're on the screen in front of them, though in dome cases the vibe of the music is too good and pulls you away from the lyrics on first listen. Here, though, the lyrics and melody are pretty front and center.
its just not her way. I think she would rather express herself from emotion or intuition. Lex: Airplane food (yeah, ridiculous, i know) from her interpretation of the song and feeling, she explains basically denial/ acceptance (you dont get to choose your meal on a plane.) Now contrast with: you dont get to choose whether someone lives or dies. Its not the best metaphor or comparison but id say she wasnt too far from the understanding
@@yaze3316 Fair point, but, she said she wasn't paying attention to the lyrics so she was probably referring to the general sound of the song. I mean you can't interpret lyrics, even abstractly, if you don't know the lyrics. At one point she even said (and im paraphrasing here because i can't remember) "wait what happened" After brad says something relating to death that the song is about
In her defense, she said she wasn't paying attention to the lyrics :)
She is just too cute... over there vibin. I love you two! Awesome reactions
This song is great for getting over the loss of someone. Got me through the death of a few friends that went way to soon. Driving with the song blasting and singing at the top of my lungs with tears in my eyes is the best release for me when grief starts to overwhelm. Great song, thanks for doing a reaction to it.
Tremendous song. The guitar track is thunderous. Always loved this. Banger.
I love how she's on a totally different trip talkin bout some airplane food lololol, that's why they call it art folks, the the real performance is in the heads of the audience.
"Death and airplane food. Both suck. But you gotta accept them both."
That has to be the most profound thing I ever heard Brad say!
Hahaha! "Death sucks like aeroplane food" You're a funny guy Bradđ
Brad, "Who died". Lex,"Something something, airplane food"
There are a few songs that I don't realize I have subconsciously avoided since my dad died. Whenever I see one being reacted to, I still don't grasp the fact that I've been avoiding it. Just like before, I'm sitting here with tears running down my face because I miss him, but haven't dealt with my emotions yet. Four years and two months and I still don't want to believe it.....
My brother was killed in 1997 at 27 when this song came out. I couldn't listen to it without loosing it. I still do sometimes. It was eerie because the words were saying exactly what was going on with me.
"Airplane food." Haha I laughed pretty hard at that...đ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł
You guys have THEE most authentic reactions of anyone on CZcams about anything. Period. One of these days you'll react to some Hardcore (type of genre) and it'll blow your minds. That's just as sub-genre spread as the word rock is.
My favourite Offspring song
Great song !!!! I missed this live with you guys.
''Ok, whatcu got?''
''Erm... airplane food?''
This is why hearing the whole song is so important. Catching a vibe is one thing, but hearing the lyrics and matching them to the energy of the song is something else.
Lead singer Dexter Holland grieving the loss of a loved one. It was based on a real-life brush with violence that left him contemplating his mortality. Holland and his wife were at a Baskin-Robbins in Huntington Beach when gang members opened fire on the ice cream shop, forcing the patrons to take cover. No one was killed, but the incident left the couple shaken up.
that's weird, because the three or so interviews I've read about it, he said he just wrote a song, there was no specific incident or situation that led up to it.
Exactly, it was not about anyone dying. Here is the interview in question: czcams.com/video/wREywAIXGj4/video.html
The interesting thing about this song is that they came up with it because they didn't have a song about the topic and wanted to try their hand at it. The myth growing up was that he lost his wife/gf in a car accident. Regardless, the raw emotion and feeling of loss definitely came through for me.
I literally CANNOT listen to this song unless I'm in the mood to just weep, because 9 times out of 10, that's what happens.
Just found you guys the other day. I see over 1mil subs in the future fo sho fo sho. Love the vids.
I've been thinking & listening to this song after my mom passed from covid19 back on May 29 2020. I was in combat shot at... but damn I'm still here she's gone..... I miss her. Mothers day is coming up love your mom's you only get one. đčđđș
Thank you for sharing this with me
cracks me up how Lex gets so into a song but never has a clue what the lyrics say......
Been waiting for you to get around to checking out some more Offspring. This is one of my very favorites.
Edit: ...was not expecting the airplane food analogy, but Brad is right - it works in a weird sort of way. Reluctant acceptance - that's absolutely right.
They reacted to this before. Oh i must have caught it live and they are reposting it.
@@abefroman8821 They do a lot of their reactions on stream, and then cut them into videos for youtube.
It was bound to happen, but poor Lex is in outer space on this song, lol.
The actual video adds to the haunting feel of the song.
The Five Finger Death Punch cover of this song has got to be one of the best covers ever.
"Airplane food". You've got to be kidding me.
He wrote this song for his girlfriend that died.
False. This is not true at all. In fact, he has stated many times that nobody died, it wasn't written for anyone in particular.
@@Annonymous0283745 He might say that so he wouldn't have to talk about it. Who knows.
@@wixxed It was not about anyone's death, and here he is literally talking about how the song came to be: czcams.com/video/wREywAIXGj4/video.html
@@Annonymous0283745 Wow just listened to an interview and You're right...
@@wixxed The singer knows? When he said its about no one?
this is the ability to write a song about any subject while still having your fans love its driving sound
My good friend died a few weeks ago, and this hits home. Great song though. Just makes me feel sad, but in a good way.
Airplane food. Your ability to come up with analogies blows my mind.
I donât get how you can get a vibe from a song without actually listening to it
I was never a huge Offspring fan but this song is so, so good that it has the ability to make every single other song they did differently.
You suck dudeâŠ.let me guessâŠ..u listened to REM and Nirvana right?đ€Šđ»ââïž
@@thegiftedone Maiden, Sabbath and Slayer. Nirvana lol
@@briangregory8223 sorry about that obnoxious comment my dumbass made that drunken night dude!....your a stand-up guy for not unloading a rant... đđ€đ»...... I like your Mt. Rushmore... I was a metal head growing up here in L. A. Right outta highschool I started a band and we cut some great songs ... Had Ce Ce Deville from Poison playing out demos in the scene.... Then out of nowhere, Nirvana and those flannels đ€Łđ torpedoed the rock world and nobody wanted metal or hair band music anymore....they changed everything...... Saw bands like Wasp .. L.A. Guns... The Crue all these local bands get depressed... Broke... Saw rockers drinking and overdosing themselves to death... It was dark af.... But the hair bands were posers ... Cookie cutters.... So I guess a change was needed ... The bands like Megadeth and Metallica bull dozed through that noise and they still rock .. shows who is true talent.... đ€đ» Rock till you puke brother!
@@thegiftedone This made my night. Thanks. And no worries... I have done some STUPID shit when on social media and drinking. I've had people reply to stuff I don't even remember typing.
@@thegiftedone I was a senior in HS when Nevermind dropped and I was suddenly being excluded for being able to actually play. I don't think rock has recovered from what that record did. Seriously.
Lost my Best friend in 2018 - this is my tribute to him.... my world did grow cold and i wish i could trade..... RIP Jack...
I love this band so much
Brad & Lex. This was a very personal song for the lead singer of The Offspring. Dexterâs
girlfriend died.
This emotional songs always makes me cry. I can hear Dexterâs pain & grief.
Not true. In an interview he stated that him and his girlfriend went to a shop and a gang shot it up luckily no one was hurt but the feeling of possibly loosing something you love inspired him to write it
Omg lex airplane food! I would have started that song again from sheer embarrassment
I love you two. Please get back to Leo and Frog Leap Studios reaction. I know you have only done 1 but there is sooooo many
Sultans of Swing đ„đ„đ„
Stay is a banger too
This song is a cover... it is also definitely about death. I lost a very good friend in 2016 in a car accident not even a hour after he left my house. This is one of a couple songs that I dedicate to him. I have to completely remove myself mentally from it if I hear it somewhere public around other people or I WILL cry.. the lyrics when they state that I would trade is also accurate for me. He was younger and had small children and my one boy is grown. Yes, I am crying now. Still love you, Buster, my friend...đđ„
Siento tu perdida, pero esta canciĂłn no es una versiĂłn, la original es de ellos, de Offspring en 1997, lo que pasa es que luego otros grupos la versionaron.
The live version with Emily Armstrong from Dead Sara is excellent.
YES! That's my absolute favorite version of this song!!!
airplane food > death LMAO love watching ya'll just for this!
Airplane food. Lex, you are crazy!
Airplane food lmao đ€Ł đ
"Airplane food" đ Lex's synesthesia is out of control. And I love it. Love you guys
Oh? Does she legitimately have synesthesia?
@@L3onOfKings nah... I mean maybe... it's just funny what music conjures up for her.
I have to correct the rumor that Dexter Holland this song about a loved one who had died (usually his wife/girlfriend) which a couple other commenters mentioned. Even though he previously would not elaborate on the exact meaning of the lyrics, I heard a radio interview with Dexter (I think recorded earlier this year) in which he decided to relate what prompted him to write the song. He and his wife were at a convenience near where they live and while they were in line, a couple ran in screaming to call the police because someone had been following them in their car threatening to kill them. A car with "gang members" then pulled up and a guy got out and started shooting at the store, sending bullets through the large front windows. As everybody scrambled to find cover, he and his wife tried to hide behind a trash container and he threw himself on top of her to prevent her from getting shot. He remembered thinking "I'm gonna get shot any second" as the bullets were flying everywhere. Luckily no one was shot (he suspected the shooter purposely shot above the people just to scare them) and the car with the shooter drove off, but the event really made him think about loss and he would feel if his wife had been shot and killed and he wrote this song within a few days.
Love this song.
Brad you caught it off the rip bro. This song was deep af for them
You guys are awesome
what the hell??? "who died?" "oh, I was thinking of airplane food!" hahahahahha that was hilarious
This song is dedicated to a friend who committed suicide after high school.
R.I.P. Jimmy/Gizmo
Well I got to say this is the first time that I've noticed he got the song before she did. I'm surprised she didn't get the meaning of the song cuz she seems to understand a lot of the other songs that they listen to. So kudos to dude cuz he seem to understand what he was listening to but I'm glad you both liked it it was good song makes me cry when I listen to it if I think about the right thing
âWho died?â âOh somebody died?!â Had me laughing. I listened to this song slot after losing a dog unexpectedly so it always reminds me of that. That brief back and forth was exactly what I needed. Hahaha
R.I.P. mom . always makes me think about her.
Think of my Mum & Dad in heaven everytime i hear this đą
Love this song!! ââ€
Easily their best song IMO. Even the guitar playing hits me in an emotional way.
It's such a simple riff, it was the first song I ever learned to play correctly on a guitar, and it's ridiculously easy, but it fits so well with the emotion of the song.
@@Milehighsnake98 Simplicity works well a lot of times.. I like complexity and a lot of 'prog' songs too.. but the guitar on this is just perfect.
