- One of the things that I love about Em's music is the relatability. I think that we can all relate to this story. Hard to re-live this stuff but it's so very... relatable...

I can't remember where I heard it from, but the most powerful thing I've ever heard about suicide is as follows: "Killing yourself doesn't take the pain away. It just takes that pain and makes someone else have it."
Wow, very profoundly true.
When you’re in that mindset you just don’t give a s&!t. Not because you want to hurt your loved ones, you just can’t see things getting better. I did however not look at it that way
@@rterlep I have a friend who has had a rough go of it and tried committing suicide last year. While I was talking to him I kept reminding him of how sad his daughters would be if he was gone. His love for his daughters and not wanting them to be sad is likely the only thing saving him at this point, which is why I try to make sure he understands how many people will be sad if he isn't here any more.
@@joshuawiedenbeck6944
That was just my personal experience when I was in a bad place. I hope you friend’s doing well now.
@@rterlep All good. It's crazy how what people will do if they think it's helping someone they care about.
I can't request them enough but please react to "Difficult" & "Rock Bottom" by Em!
Rock bottom one of my favs!
@@littlewigglemonster7691 The storytelling, the multi-syllabic rhymes schemes, the raw emotions... it creates such a perfect image of where Em was in his life, his mindset & it's really motivational to know that no matter the situation, you can always find a way out.
What about “guilty conscience”?
Rock bottom my favorite.
@@pokej8942 Guilty Conscience is a great example of storytelling mixed with a back & forth dialoge/lyricism which was fairly original for the time. Hopefully if he reacts to it, he will react to the uncensored version.
You really need to do "25 to life" next. Loving the reactions. ❤️ That story of your son is very touching. You are a wonderful dad. I'm sure that meant a lot for your son, that you were there for him.
Thanks so much, Ron. I don't think I was there for him. He was there for me...
@@larryshair 🥹🥹🥹
Yes u need to do 25 to life
@@GhostWatcher2024 respectuflly, change your comment to not spoil him, its the best part about this amazing song!
@@larryshair That's pretty profround, Larry (if that is your name).
this song is like a triple entendre of ems love for hip hop & his relationship with it, his addiction to drugs & how much he needed them at the time, & his relationship with kim as well. words in this song really blur the lines on what he is really talking about
dude now that im thinking about , this is the best song ever!!!
I was just coming to talk about the triple 👏👏👏
@Michael Kiely yes, it is. “when im with u, i get the shakes” thats a reference to his past with drugs cus when ur having withdrawals “shakes” can be frequent. he also talks about being on top of the rap game & how hip hop always moves on to the newer & better thing.
@Michael Kiely it’s a GOOD triple
I think hes tellin us what he expects another relationship would be for him ... and at the end hes like: i dont want to go thru this crap again i stay single
“White America” by Em also would love to see you go from his first album by most requested an move forward to current album so you can experience his growth as we did. Love your reactions ❤️
+1
Yes!
my interpretation of the ending is that some people love hard. and if they had a chance to rewind back to the beginning and do it all over again, they would to feel that love even if they knew it would end in pain again.
that its exaly Also how i see this.Love its a pure emotion a emotion where you have no control over.So even when you know IT Will end not welk for you.You Will still make the same desision because that what you feel.That its your love its do pure so true. That its Also hè sing i have no emotions so normaly its not posseble what you do to me but oke if have me.But you have to know i a go i go all in i would do literly Everything tot you if have to give my life tot you i would do IT.But please dont Hurt me, because IT Will totaly destroy me IT Will break me.That is the problem love had two sides your really van be happy extrmly when its good.But on the moment IT go not so wel IT Also van totaly break you destroy you.That the Risk for people that are so strong with ther emotions.If good life its heaven but IT go bad life go instantly to hell.Er its no inbetween.So because his love for her its do pure hè Will do IT over and over and over eagain even when hè know IT Will end good for him.But the love you can not Just shut that off.
Fun fact. The actress is Sasha Grey. She's well known. Lol
I personally think you’re just about spot on. My take is even after all he went through with the girl, he would still be willing to do it all again. Hence why he gets back in the car. Great reaction as always! Much respect.
It has a double meaning bro, the first two verses are about his relationship with drugs. The final verse is about is the drugs perspective of Eminem letting go of it.
As I watched the video again along with you, it kinda clicked in my mind that maybe the music video rewinding is symbolic of how things could've gone differently now that Em has hindsight (hence why he was in the back seat of the car & at the bar) but that's just my interpretation.
How I always took it was just him doubting himself and thinks he isn’t worthy of everything he can give so he plays out the whole scenario of this relationship that goes bad and he gets so hurt he’ll have to kill her because he’ll get too attached he can’t live without her. It’s all played in his head which is why he’s back in the car, the relationship never happened because he psyched himself out from the beginning
@@trevor3575 This is exactly how its supposed to be perceived.
I like both of the interpretations here, and think both have merit. I also think it's representative of a pattern. Like he's narrating what the arc of all his relationships looks like.
You'll learn along the way to recognize that Em doesn't only have double and triple entendres in his bars, but also entire songs that are doubles or triples. Just like you've seen with Darkness. This one I take as a prime meaning to be about relationships, but underneath it's also about his drug addiction and possibly even his love for the rap game. You can hear this in the second verse where he says "I'll do whatever it takes, when I'm with i get the shakes, my body aches when I ain't with you, i have zero strength"
Can't wait for not afraid
Eminem- love the way you lie!. It’s a must..
There is so much beautiful creativity In these kind of tracks that Eminem does. They get overlooked by most because it isn’t shady. But I love this side of him just as much as his darker side. So under appreciated
There is just something therapeutic, healthy or something like that about discovering a new Em song and really taking in his meaning and message. I know people that don’t get this experience from it. I also know people that won’t listen to him anymore since he started focusing on honesty about his healing journey. It’s always been about his experience, his experience has changed though.
I have all cds of Eminem.. Im 45 yrs, and still, he’s my Number 1 rapper… Love him❤❤❤
Chorus: “I’m a space bound rocket ship, & your heart’s the moon, & I’m aimin’ right at you, right at you. 250,000 miles on a clear night in June, & I’m aimin’ right at you, right at you”
Really nice lyrics
These rap reactions is the reason I found and keep coming back to this channel
I’ve always viewed this song as a big double of dealing with his drug addiction while also telling a romance story.
You should react to Love the Way you Lie and 25 to Life by Eminem. Also I think a new artist you may enjoy would be Lil Dicky you could Start with Pillow Talking or Molly
Very cool observation!
Yeah.... Lil Dicky is great
@@hepfrem1386 I don't think he's up for it yet. After a little more Hopsin, he'll be more than ready though 🤣
That story about how you handled your sons heartbreak was really cool. I have 2 teens and luckily they’re young enough that we haven’t hit that point yet but when we do I feel like this helped me know to just be there even if it means just being there and silent. I might have done that anyway but I will definitely think of this if and when it ever comes up. Thanks!
Thanks so much, Bryan. My son tells me now that he will never forget it.
I used to do the same thing with my daughter. When she needed to talk I would sit on the end of her bed in the dark & listen. I never interject. My daughter and have a relationship but I just found out today that I trigger her. I’m crushed. I fear our relationship will never be the same. She has crushed me to a pulp so many times, but I always forgave her & went on. I’m Devastated.
Your never over - eminem
I literally had the thought like 3 days ago “ I can’t wait till he hears space bound”
Thank you! I’m downloading now.
„Find somebody to sit next to you to go through it is the best thing you can do ..get close to a friend. Make it through with a friend.“ .. That was a wonderful story about you and your son. Thank you for sharing 💖🙏🙏💖
Can’t wait for Not Afraid!!!
These reactions are like meditation sessions for me lol keep up the great work
lol , thanks! Breathe.....
After this you need 'Nor Afraid,,'
May 3th... Stay tuned!
Great reaction, you truly take me back to when I first heard his songs. The first time I heard him was around 98/99 with the song “My name is “ I was around 15 and was in year 11 at school ( not sure what you call that in the US ) well at my school we were allowed our common room. A place where we were allowed to have the radio on, bring our own music etc… well some one was playing My name is, but being a Catholic school the teacher went ballistic and banned it. Well off course I was curious why the teacher banned it. I bought it listened to it n from that moment on I was hooked. I know that story hasn’t much to do with this song, I just wanted to share how I started my Eminem journey, how his music evolved through the years. I’m glad you’re enjoying his journey. I’d love to see your reaction to his more comical songs, like “ Without me “ “The Real Slim Shady “ “just lose it”….there’s a lot more off course, but they my fave 3 comical songs by Eminem. 👍👍👍👍👍 for your reaction
Thanks!
I think it’s a message of bringing awareness to mental illness and toxic relationships.
Its great you were there for him! Sometimes that's all you can do as a parent...
Agreed!
It's metaphorical with Em... it's rarely ever literal...When he says "I blew my brains out for you on your lap im laying here bleeding" means he let everything in his head spill out onto her lap.... as in getting so close to someone so much you basically metaphorically blew your brains out and bled on them.... and then the resentment kicks in "im trying to stop you from breathing" where you try to stop them from being happy without you.... you get selfish and try to hurt them hoping it'll make them insecure enough to stay with you. but the reality is if you truly know they'll be happier without you then you have to let them go. it's the most painful thing in the world.....
Oh man, what a great catch. Thanks so much!
I like to think that the rewind part and him getting in the car again after knowing how the story would go , was a reference to the saying even if I went back in time I’ll do it all over again cause of love.
Ironically that's what some of the haters try say! They say his songs have no content...they're not relatable! Lol. But, as you said that's not true! People are captivated by him because they Can Relate to him...to what he's saying in his songs! Only people who never listen don't get it or him!
Eminem - going through changes
Oh my gosh, Michael 🥺 what a beautiful thing you did for him tho, sitting by his side just being there, that’s very powerful. I’m so glad things worked out for him in the end. My daughter has just started on this path too, as much as I want to shield her from pain, I can’t.
What a wonderful Dad you are.
I wish we could help them avoid painful things in life, but you're right. We can't. Sometimes the best we can do it just be there when they fall (and they will fall for sure), and then they will learn like we did. I've learned that taking my hands off the wheel and letting him make mistakes is one of the HARDEST things to do. Sadly, we have to let those bumps and bruises shape them into strong people. So painful to watch...
The switch up towards the end and Larry’s reaction had me in tears from laughter
There is nothing as sweet and innocent as your first love. My heart was shattered to pieces when I was 15 years old. I loved as much as I knew how at that age. It took a year for me to feel normal. But I remember just sitting on the steps of my porch and crying and crying and crying. I remember my mom came out one night, she didn't say a word. She just put her arms around me and let me cry. I've been happily married now for 20 years. Sometimes you have to thank God for those unanswered prayers. But that heartbreak is something everybody will have at least once in their life, and it is earth-shattering.
💗
I wish this was an Eminem channel, it is to me!
Be sure to drink for other cups as well! I did with Em and and grateful I did.
@@larryshair Good advice
Lupe Fiasco's entire Food and Liquor album is just full of story telling at its best
🤣"I know what is like to get my heart crush"and immediately look over his shoulder,yeah my guy I do the same🤣🤣.
The whole suicide being "a permanent solution to a temporary problem" is completely true
This one is hard to watch. It hurts. bad memories come up. We don't want to repeat bad history, but it happens, its like we're not in control. Yeh, loving hard is not easy, but it's who some of us are. Sad when people just crush others with no regard. No empathy, just laugh when we cry. Respect and peace to all. Thx for the reaction.
Thanks Jojo
that second verse is my favorite,was so attached to this song for so long
Sir I’m binging your videos. And I heard the story about your son- and god my heart man. I’m not gonna give you some sob story, but cliff notes version; I grew up with no parents. I was taken by custody of the state as a kid, and spent my whole life searching for a father figure and a mothers love. And hearing you describe what you did for your son with a broken heart, really pulled my heartstrings. I hope he (your son) knows how great of a dad he has. I’m 20 years old and would do anything in the world for that kind of relationship.
Wow, thanks so much. Someday when you have a kid, you will have that exact chance to have that relationship. I'm so sorry you had a hard start to your childhood. Imagine what you will be able to pass along to your own kids.
Your comment about your son's breakup made me tear up. Just thank you for being how you are and sharing it with us. Breakups definitely suck big time, but there has to be something better afterwards. Or so I choose to believe.
I'm a space bound rocket ship and your heart's the moon
And I'm aimin' right at you, right at you
250, 000 miles on a clear night in June
And I'm aimin' right at you, right at you, right at you
Yes! Another upload! Please never stop doing reaction videos. PS I can’t wait for your Slim Shady reactions.
Killing himself it one of his signature move of what he once felt and heard to deal with it
I love your content and really respect how much you enjoy discovering new songs especially from Eminem lol my ATF artist. much love to you Larry!
Thanks VL!
Eminem 3 am... And Framed.. Great Storytelling
Thanks for this larry! This song is pretty heavy
Ahhhh! Brain hurts! Lol! Another great reaction.
So, let's find out in order why the video deserves at least eleven out of ten possible points.
The first shots - the marshal is walking along the road and meets a wolf, at night, alone in the forest. What would a normal person do if something like this happened to him? The first thought that comes to mind would be to run away, the second would be to crap out of fear. One way or another, Marshal does not react to the animal, which gives us a hint: Eminem is not alive - it's only his spirit.
Further, a car stops near him, and he gets inside. But he does not sit alone. Two Marshals sit down at once. Somewhere I happened to read a comment that this is Eminem and his alter his Slim Shady. The guess is close to the truth, but this one is not. As already mentioned, Marshal is only a spirit, in other words, his soul sits in the back seat of the car, while he himself is in the front seat, or rather the memory of how he once got into this very car.
If you look closely at the part of the clip where Marshal is reading while inside the car, it becomes clear that his spirit is reading, and not himself. Marshal from the front seat did not read a word. It is also clearly visible how he swears both at the girl and at himself.
Words when he refers to himself: “walk down all this road alone. Frozen as snow, show no emotion"
The words when he addresses himself to a girl: “Don’t ask me:“ Why I have no love for this motherfucking hoes! ””
By doing this, he tries to shout to himself, as if saying: “Stop! What are you doing, this bitch is not worth your suffering. You are alone and this is your destiny
The next moment, the spirit disappears from the back seat of the car.
Short conclusions of the first part of the clip:
1. Marshal remembers how he fell in love.
2. The soul of the Marshal warns him that he would abandon this venture because "this bitch is not worth it"
Part two
Some time has passed (a year, maybe more - the point is that they are already dating and he loves her very much). They arrive at a cafe and get out of the car. Once inside, we are shown the marshal splitting up. The first goes to the girl - the second to the bar.
The meaning of this scene is very simple - Marshal's soul continues to remember and watch as Marshal comes up to her and sits opposite. The girl is sitting with the phone and texting someone. Having finished, she goes to the toilet - Marshall, saying: "there are no limits beyond which I could not go for you," climbs into her purse for the phone. Looking at the screen, she realizes that she has someone. That is, in other words, we are shown how he understands that he is being cheated on. Before she returns, Marshal manages to hide the phone.
When they leave the cafe, Marshal's soul looks around with longing in his eyes to follow himself, but does not leave the cafe.
Short conclusions of the second part of the clip:
Marshall recalls how he realized he had been abandoned.
Part Three
They go into the motel room together. And now comes the main point, which for some reason no one especially noticed. We carefully look at the frame (06:52)
The director draws our attention to the fact that the marshal has closed the outer door. Further down the line, Marshall enters the room, looks at his girlfriend, and listens to see if anyone is outside. Hearing a rustle, he rushes to the door and scans the area outside the motel room.
Now notice the outer door is open. No, it's not the director's fault - it's a trick that is the key to the entire video. After making sure that there is no one on the street, Marshal returns to the room and begins to choke his girlfriend, so that after a moment he realizes that his hands are empty.
Explanation of what really happened.
So, as we already understood, the video tells the story of two characters: the real Marshal and his soul.
We also realized that there is a strange door in the video, which seems to be completely useless. This very door makes us understand that Marshal is going crazy: once, a long time ago, he was already in this room with his girlfriend. They spent the night in it and left. On the other hand, there is Marshall, who himself, in his thoughts, returns to this hotel in order to strangle his love, just to prevent her from leaving.
Those. two events took place:
1 He Actually Closed The Door When They Were Together
2. Now it just seems to him that he closed the door, but he has no girlfriend for a long time
Looking at his hands, Marshal realizes that reality and his own fiction are mixed up in his head. Images flash through his head, how he was abandoned, how he saw a phone with someone else's number, that he had not been together with his girlfriend for a long time and all that he had left was just memories. Unable to bear all this, he shoots himself in the head.
Then the clip does not end - the director is trying to convey a very deep thought to us with this shot. Em shoots himself in the head while at the motel, gun in hand. A few seconds later, we are shown the bar counter of the cafe, behind which Marshal is sitting with a bullet through his head, mind you: he does not have a gun. Where did the bullet come from?
1. We already know that the soul of the deceased marshal sits behind the bar.
2. A shot in the head of the soul shows that the girl, with her departure, killed not only his body, but also his soul.
Part four
As you all know, before death, a person's whole life flashes before their eyes, which the director demonstrates to us. But then again, if you look closely, you can understand that the fourth part of the video is so sad that tears involuntarily well up.
Marshall's life begins to flash before him. But it does not reach his birth. The scrolling of life stops just at the moment when he met this girl. And it all starts again: he gets into the car, they drive down the road, and so on. - thus, the director tells us that this girl was everything to him: his love, his life, his soul. Leaving him, she killed not only the body, but also his soul, and now the Marshal, even after his death, experiences the same thing - his soul will never rest in peace.
Wow, thanks so much for putting this together!
Another great video! This song is soo good!!
I see people below helped a little lol
The chorus: "I'm a space bound rocket ship and your heart's the moon and I'm aimin' right at you, right at you. 250,000 miles on a clear night in June and I'm aimin' right at you, right at you, right at you..." 😉
Hey! This is my take on it: the video plays on a suicide theory that if you take your life, you have to live in an afterlife that is just constantly replaying the situations that lead up to the action of doing it. So you see Eminem in the car as a ghost in the first part sitting in the backseat having to watch himself go through this experience and when it rewinds you understand he is stuck in this state of constantly having to relive this experience. Hope that helps!
Hey Larry I LUV when u react to Eminem tho!! And yes its Angela from Massachusetts AGAIN lol but I luv Eminem and ur reviews make me fall in luv with him again seeing u actually see what he has ALWAYS been about...thx again Lar
We love Eminem ❤️
I see it as metaphorical. Going through that pain makes it feel like your life is ending and so you sabotage all hope by pushing yourself to the point of self-destruction, often breaking the other person's heart also in doing so. Everyone wants to start over when at their lowest
Rock Bottom & The Way I Am for the 1,000th time
How have you not see Eminem Not Afraid!!!
May 30th... Stay tuned!
You really should do
ROCK BOTTOM the song is amazing and really speaks to his hard times before he made it big (money and fame, I believe the song was written way before he was signed) great content my guy, keep up the great work, I myself can't get enough.
I love your channel. Please check out Rock Bottom from Eminem to see how he is feeling when he was still struggling and then 25 to Life after he made it big. 25 to life is a once in a lifetime song where the first time you hear it you will go "Oh Shit" and then it's never the same after hearing it cause you get it.
*25 to life
@@Shaolinmike1994 thanks I was writing it in a rush and knew it should have been along the lines of a life sentence and it didn't sound right
One of my favorite Em tracks . Thx for your review ‼️
YESS! such a beautiful song. Thanks for your reaction! I'm writing this at the start so I will update with what I thought about the video, take care mate!
Update! Loved it! As I thought I would. I think my favourite thing about this song is how it shows what heartbreak can really do to someone. How messed up it can make them in the head. To the point of doing what he did in the video. Thanks mate! Can't wait for the next vid. Love from AUS 🔥
This is one of my all time favorite songs. Glad you finally heard it and liked it buddy.
Still love your reactions buddy
I love watching these videos I’m just working my way them all great channel find !!
Thanks so much!
I’ve been waiting on this one!
Thank you for this reaction!
For a person who was abandoned by both of his parents, I believe you did the best thing anyone could ever do, just be around your son while he's in pain!!
No words!!!
Going through changes... U need to listen now u know about proof. Great reaction mate. UK is with u
A rlly fun Eminem song is ‘We’re the ones who made you’ you’ll be laughing the whole time and has such a great music video
You’re Never Over- greatest song to Proof. Glad you are on Recovery.
I love your Eminem reactions. As a 31 year old with a younger mother who was blasting The Eminem Show while driving me to school at 6:30am it's cool to see your reactions. I always had this thought that in the chorus it goes "In a clear night in June" I always wondered if that was a homage to Gwendolyn Brooks poem "We Real cool" and in a podcast she says she picked June because it was a peaceful month with no holidays, just warm, clear, nothing to concentrate the mind.
One of my fav songs ♥️
Love your Eminem reactions
All the reactions to this song, when he talks about "I'm trying to stop you from breathing", are almost the same. You're probably the only one with the look like "Its crazy, but I get it. when someone is hurt that bad, their mind goes to some dark places. Almost no one acts on it but that's where your heart and mind is. He pulls himself away from it because he knows it's wrong but can't live with it.
You are a real one for what you did for your son. Kudos to you. Wish I had a dad like you.
Btw love how you head went on a roller coaster lol 10:23 10:42
Love your videos my guy
Thanks so much!
Cuz im a space bound rocket ship and your hearts the moon
And im aiming right at you, right at you
250,000 miles on a clear night in June and im so lost without you, without you.
I loooove this song. Brings me back to a really hard but also special time in my life. It was a transformative period. Ill always love this song.
You've gotta do 25 To Life, and Sing For The Moment! Two amazing songs. Sing For The Moment has definitely helped me through some hard times
The unknown is the scariest part.
Here for it brother
Good guy is another Em song with female vocals that is amazing.
Em is such a good artist because of his lyricism yes, but also because he puts raw emotions into his song.
Like NF, Hopsin and a lot of others.
My comprehension of this song was that he was so scared of what he was feeling for the woman he wrote about. Scared that he would lose himself like he did with Kim. That it would be scary, unhealthy, tragic. That he'd just end up losing her, and losing himself in her. To me it's a complete fear song- but his feelings were so strong he knew he had to try again (getting back in the car) because something about her gave her an inkling of hope.
P.s I cried envisioning you in your sons room. Sometimes the act of doing nothing- is everything.
Thanks so much. You're right, sometimes all you can do it be there.
Please don’t stop you’re just starting to get Em ears !!! You haven’t even gotten to him and Proof 😔 RIP
Hey man, love your reactions. I’m not gonna make requests because I’m sure you’ve already got a huge list…But I just wanted to say that you’re reactions are great and I hope you keep it up.
I did that with my daughter during her first break up. I just had her in my arms, her crying and shaking for a long long time. It was brutal on a mothers heart, but I also feel like it’s a privilege. That I could be there for her and she wanted me there. I never had that with my parents.
Great song and great reaction! 👍
My feeling on the video is that he loves intensely, doesn't like to admit it, then meets a random woman who helps him out. In the timespan of a short drive and a cup of coffee, he's already going through her phone, then shoots himself. I feel he goes through this "relationship scenario" mentally with every woman he meets, and I know a few people who do that as well. The woman only gave him a ride, and he assumes the relationship is doomed before it is even a relationship, a very toxic trait. I feel the lyrics are separate from the video though, just my take on this. Great reaction!
I already hit the LIKE BUTTON 🤣 BEFORE I EVEN WATCH 👍👍👌
One of my faves. Ty
Why did He start all over again?
"It's no one's fault but my own, it's the path I've chosen to go"
Love your reactions keep it up, I know you have mentioned previously that you will go into the slim shady side of em at some point but i think you are now at the point where songs you will listen to now you may not full get fully having not heard to pervious songs. These been mention of a few great ones like rock bottom, 25 to life, guilty Conscience (which is one of my favs with Dre) the another great song is criminal, there are so many from mmlp as well as slim shady lp all great
one of my favourite's from Em
Yes my request finallyyyyyyy
25 to life. Talking to my self. Not afraid. Are Some good songs off that album
He’s talking about the rap/hiphop game, it’s a double just like a lot of his songs.
My take is it rewound to the point to where he still had his wall up. It mentions how he didn't want to get hurt and let his guard down during the song and it was all downhill from there. So potentially he starts this encounter with this driver all over again guarded again to not make the same mistakes.
I love your reactions Ive been suicidal and deal with depression but my favourite quote that helps me is "if you're going through hell, keep going"
Hang in there my friend!
Great reaction
4 your eyez only by j cole. Heartbreaking but heartwarming story at the same time!
