Love how you picked up on background text in different languages before it popped up fully at the end! 💙

I am a veteran who suffers from PTSD, Anxiety, and depression. I was exposed to this song by one of veteran friends. I loved it and I played this song for my wife, she said that she understands a little more what goes through my head on a daily bases. Even with the help I am receiving from the VA. I will never be that person I was before.

the fact that when i try to tell somebody they say stuff like "we all feel like that" when in reality they don't believe me or they just ignore how im feeling and don't understand.

The problem is that I didnt realize how much I felt I related to this song until I heard the part about being a burden and I have to go back and look at the rest of the lyrics more closely and realized how this is exactly how I feel about my mental health problems.

Listening to Dave talk about Citizen Soldier is self care.

Citizen Soldier is quickly becoming my go to band. I struggle with severe depression, and this helps so much ❤

Jake the lead singer attempted suicide a lot of songs are about mental health. He is also a high school therapist

I was a volunteer firefighter I've seen things that changed my my life I've seen so many people pass this song let's me know I'm not alone I suffer from PTSD

2 songs in as many days but will you continue the Citizen Soldier journey? Great insight on the message being presented. Every Citizen Soldier song has a message (around mental health, addiction, abusive relations etc.) so you will not be disappointed in selecting any video to react to if your looking for meaningful lyrics and good music. Most songs are rock. Love your reactions!

I'm glad to see folks starting to bring more attention to these songs, and very much appreciate your commentary giving a little more context for those who might not understand how any of this could make sense, as well as those who deal with this sort of thing and have been trapped from not realizing how common a psychological function this really is, that others really are struggling in so many of the same ways, and that there really are things that can help make it easier and it really is okay to ask for help.

I listened to this song when in a extremely deep depression awhile back and til this day it still hurts listening to this

I clicked on this video for the song stayed cause we got the same head band!! Great reaction

when you feel that only this song understands you

After that great song and great analysis, what is the next ? I (or more we) want to see more analysis/reaction about this band ! 🤔🙃

cried while watching this... someone finally did understand... greetings from germany

I'm glad I found citizen soldier a while, I've been dealing with depression for a couple years now, and listening made me realize that there are other people who've been dealing with things similar and their music has helped me try to take steps to help myself getting better 😁

You should react to always december

Citizen Soldier says what is in my head. They say what I cannot say and what I have been living all my life. They are an awesome band.

I absolutely agree with the video. If you want to hear a different side if Citizen Soldier you have to react to "Screaming In Silence" or "My Little Secret" by them! 🔥

3:45 what you said is true expecly the part about friends

Brilliant reaction to this discussion

Love The Song

You should react to "If I Surrender" by Citizen Soldier

Please react to their song called "Would Anyone Care"

Dave, i think you should react to every other citizen soldier song. Example Wanted Pretend my pain away Gunshot lullabies First blood Limit Never ending nightmare Reason to live Wired for worthless Through hell Afterlife My own miracle Broken like me Make hate to me

I see the part with the burden a little different than you said, it is not just that people would distance their selves from you, but also that you fear to put that burden on the people you swore to protect, even at the cost of your own sanity. So that, when you open to them, there are two things that going to happen: 1. They tell you that you shouldn't overreact and that they had it harder, while ignoring the hardship you have gone through while standing by their side facing the same problems but without someone to talk to 2. that they get even more hurt, and you end in the spiral again where you build them up again of the cost of even more of yourself.

When I seen I'm not okay I automatically thought of My Chemical Romance, however this is a good song also.

My friend, I HIGHLY recommend to you to react to "Sabaton - Ghost Division (Live) Oberhausen". I know you've listened to Ghost Division already, but the live versions (especially this one) sounds a trillion times better in my opinion. Would absolutely love to see your reaction to it! Paradise for your ears! :D
