Hello! Thanks for watching! If you have any other questions, feel free to ask them here. See you soon.❤
how disappointed were you at the lack of math questions?
I was shocked to see my question used! I love Radiohead almost as much as The Smiths. A couple recommendations of albums to check out are OK Computer and Amnesiac. -Ron
Hey Lauren, I m only here to send you a huge hug. (and to ask for more Opeth videos please!)
The limit does not exist.
As long as the questions are appropriate, I'll answer them. 😊 I have OK Computer and The Bends, not sure about any others.
Welcome back! ...and take your time, we'll always be here🌻
Always a pleasure seeing your videos, you and Mocha have both been missed. 💜
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 have really missed you! 🤗
I'm so sorry about your Mom. I lost mine last April, a few months shy of her 60th. Think about her every day.
There is no other feeling that I've experienced in my life that's the same as how I felt when my mom died. The death of my beloved cat came close though.
You're a very beautiful lady. I enjoy your positivity even when going through tough times.😊
I'm sorry what happened to your mother, I can't imagine what kind of pain you must endure for that.
On a slightly brighter note, I'm glad you plan on doing more Mudvayne! If you aren't really in the mood for that kind of music, please don't feel the need to do it, take all the time you need. Mudvayne is worth the wait.
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!
Prayers Lauren always great seeing you ❤️
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.
That's fun! What a wild ride. #craigjonesisthegoat
Nice to see yo back mate. Bereavement is difficult. You are right, it always hurts, but in time it stops being your whole world and starts being part of your world, and that how you know you are moving on. It will always be part of you though. Can't wait to hear you react to Stop me.... brilliant song. You're going to love the lyrics! lol ;) x
Happy to see your return. Sorry to hear about your mom. Hugs.
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?
Hmm, that's a good question. When I'm feeling sad, I don't really listen to anything. I've learned that masking emotions can be a dangerous thing, so I tend to feel them 100% until they pass. Back in college though, I would lean into it, absolutely. Like, let me find the most depressing music ever made and listen to only that. 😂(Listening to music doesn't really mask emotions in the same way drinking would, for example, but it distracts me from what I'm feeling and I'd rather just feel it.) Hope that makes sense.
Glad your back and thanks for being one of the few honest reactor's. So many just lie about songs to get views and pretend to like it when they really don't (and one can easily tell when they don't). Your honesty about disliking some songs and bands is refreshing.
L💛VE.
just started getting into your channel, i'm sorry for your loss, so glad your back ❤
Youre awesome lauren..we'd love to have more videos about just you and your life and shit thats going on
YAY! 💚
So sorry to hear about your mum. I lost my dad 18 months ago. It's crappy. I only discovered you a month ago and binged your Slipknot vids an absolutely loved them. Stay strong.
Thanks for being here!
Condolences for the loss of your Mom, I lost my father at age 21.❤
Welcome back! Life before content always. I lost my mom and both grandparents this past couple of years, so I can absolutely relate. But hey, if it takes a month, six months, a year, take however long you need. My subscription, at least, isn't going anywhere, lol.
It's good to see you (and Mocha), Lauren. First of all, that's an awesome shirt! Secondly, I understand what you mean about losing a parent. I lost my Dad a little over about 4.5 years ago and it's pretty much as you described it. It still feels terrible, but as time moves on you just learned how to deal with it/adjust. I don't think it really hurts any less.
Love the shirt
I didnt know you were gone but if i did i would have thought it a bummer. And if i knew your mom had passed, id of shed a tear a bit earlier before watching this today. Love the Smiths. I came in the day you started making fun of them. Youre great. Peace n Love to, you
Hey Lauren I also wanted to thank you, when I followed you on Instagram this was like a couple of years ago I didn’t expect you to follow me. I really appreciate that. I’m sorry for your loss
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.
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.
I’m so happy to see you Lauren.
Sorry for your loss. there are other great Smiths albums like Strangeways Here We Come. Also, please check out Radiohead. It would be good.
Hey, take care Lauren. I'm very sorry to hear about your mom. You're a really wonderful person with a big heart.
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.
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.
I'm a cringe fan.
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. 💜
Haha, thanks for the answer! R is short for my name, and Method is my artist name. All the best to you!
Sorry to hear about your Mom.
I'm not saying anything new, but take your time, and we'll be here for you, even we're that far away.
It's good to see u again mate & mocha we missed ya ❤️
Lauren, we missed you so much! 🌀🌀🌀🙏🙏🙏
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.
May you find the solace you need -
Took me 40+ years to learn to follow the gut.
Your gut feeling won't lie, it doesn't overthink like the brain, nor hope like the heart.
It's usually right.
If your channel is the path back to feeling contentment, your gut instincts will know.
If not, I am sure anyone who values the positivity and genuineness of your presence on the internets would prefer you finding contentment however you can, whether or not it be driven by media.
You don't owe any of us anything.
You do, however, owe yourself everything.
In the meantime, take care.
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 : )
Sorry for your loss, but glad you are back. Tool Army is always here for you.
So sorry to hear about your loss.😥 I've been contemplating mortality myself lately because of some pretty serious health issues. I wish you many sunny, happy days and as few tears as possible. You really are a ray of sunshine here on YT! I do have one question: what do you teach? Do you enjoy it? Also, thoughts about England and Ireland? Ok, three questions. 😜Stay awesome!.🤗
I teach English/creative writing online to middle schoolers. It's a lot more fun than public school, that's for sure. I would love to go back to England/Ireland. So beautiful there! I went on a bus tour in Ireland back in college, and we added on an additional night in England.
❤
Hey, you've been where you need to be.
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! 😘
Here we go again...would you be so kind to play Shifters from Katatonia...thanks in Advance...greetings from Chile!
We missed you, Lauren ❤
I am so sorry for your loss.
I care not where u been. Happy to see u
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.
I'm 90% sure I know Pyramid Song.
Lauren, my sincerest condolences to you for the loss of your mother. I know she must have been a kind, intelligent and overall beautiful human being (because you possess all of those same qualities). I know how the loss of such a significant and pivotal person in your life can crush you emotionally, and leave you confused and questioning every aspect of your life and the nature of existence. We love your self-deprecating wit and humor and your intelligent and entertaining reactions to a wide variety of music. But of course, we care more about you and your well-being, and hope that you are taking care of yourself as you work through the grief and sadness of losing a parent. Whatever you decide is best for you, you will have the love and support of your online family that cares about you and appreciates your talent, hard work and passion for music. ❤ 😿❤🙏❤
Thank you so very much!
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.
Congrats on your sobriety! That's not an easy feat.
@MusicCatsandCoffee thank you. I was sober for 6 years then felt ready to drink normally. It just brought me back to the pits of addiction again the 2nd time. 3 dui's in state and 1 in federal lands. I love watching your reations, especially Ghost ones.
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. 😅
Thanks for being here. 😊
@@MusicCatsandCoffee It is my pleasure. 🤗
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?
First of all, STREET SPIRIT IS AMAZING.
1) That's a good question. 2) No. 3) Maybe.
Well, that was easy. 😂
23:00 Thank you. ❤
No, thank YOU. (Don't tell the others, but that was my favorite question. 😂)
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.
I'm not all that interested in a formula or doing what's popular. I just do what I want. :)
U so different I worried bout u
