Great reaction Aileen to an awesome song. One of SOAD's best. Shavo (bassist) in an interview with the Phoenix New Times explains that the little alien-looking boy is actually himself. He says "I've always felt alienated. So I made him a little alien-kid." He further explains that back then it took him weeks and a lot of CGI money to come up with the face and nowadays it's a simple phone filter. He further notes that back when the song came out he refused to say who the kid was. "Now, 20 years later. I'm telling you."

@@insertgenericusernamehere2402 I partly agree and Deer Dance is one of my all time favorite, but I still have to hear any of his solo work match or surpass hi best Soad songs. It might have to do with the fact that his voce changed alot post Soad ( More nasal and operatic ) . Lyrically though I much prefer his solo stuff that's for sure.

I love your reaction to this so much because of your open perspective. I have often felt like I was interpreting songs (and therefore feeling songs) incorrectly. But when I see someone else saying “hey, maybe my interpretation is wrong but my feelings are real”, I realize that even if I’m not reading the song right my emotional reaction to it is still valid. Thanks for that, love your reactions❤

@TheBlackAmbition Жыл бұрын

Loved the reaction! Could really see a connection with the music, and that was dope. With the trapeze artists, during the second verse I believe, you could see one of the acrobatics “left hanging,” so to speak. I believe that was a parallel drawn between the song’s message and what the boy is seemingly going through.

Aerials and Spiders are my fav SOAD songs! Really expresses their range. They can do the whole psycho-circus punk-metal thing, but they can be quite beautiful and melodic as well. Such great harmonies, and great Bass work by Shavo. And John is one of the most underrated drummers; how does he keep up with these guys?

@18videowatcher41 Жыл бұрын

I definitely feel like a big part of the message in the song is that life is brief and chaotic, a "waterfall" between the long "river" before you're born and after you're gone. And so many people "want to play but never want to lose." They spend their life so obsessed with gaining something like fame or riches, with being a winner, that they don't actually enjoy the life they have
