I love how people complain about the screaming but I believe the screaming is a mix of a crying out type of scream that blends in well with the cleans. Beautiful imho

SanaySK yes Dear G-d album!

Being As An Ocean are amazing. Deep thoughtful lyrics, emotionally intense, lots of religious metaphor. They are PERFECT for you!

I didn’t expect this band at all!! Please more Being As An Ocean!!! One of my greatest concert experiences is with this band. When they played This Loneliness Won’t Be The Death of Me the singer jumped in the crowd and I screamed the words back at him. At the end of a powerful line towards the end of the song he gave me a giant hug. Truly genuine people and a special band for me.

They became my favorite band after my first full listen to waiting for the morning to come, their earlier albums are incredible too.

The genre melodic hardcore is what this bands old sound use to be categorized as. The honest emotional lyrics are a reoccurring theme in this genre. I’d recommend Counterparts, The Ghost Inside and Misery Signals to check out!!

I’ve been watching you guys for a while, but seeing this video made me subscribe. This bands first album “Dear G-D” is still one of the most impactful in my life. I urge you guys to listen to a band called Silent Planet. As impactful as BAAO has been to me, Silent Planet is the reason I went back to church and became a Christian again.

You know it's good when even Vin has a hard time holding back the tears.

These guys are amazing live. The lead singer is so passionate on stage.

I struggle as hard as Vin did to figure out words to describe what this song makes me feel, what it brings up. I am still crying. Thank you for all that you couldn't find the words to share, but which was spoken through your eyes as loudly as a sonic boom. When Sori was saying she can't be crying on a shirt that's being sent out you were thinking it increases the value "they'd probably pay more for it" right, Vin?

Thank you for letting this be raw and unedited. This is how I’ve always reacted when I see the lyrics to any being as an ocean song. It’s so deep and everyone can relate to having struggles of all kinds.

Soo in love with the song! Such a great and inspiring reaction by you guys! Can heavily feel it!

Almost any being as an ocean song for the most part have crazy good or emotional meanings as well. The hardest part or leqxuisite doular. By them. I've been listening to baao for a long time now. Such a good group. I've suggested them in the past.

Yeah Vin! Just let it flow. I've got your back, man! Great reactions and great work, keep it up! Cheers from Argentina!

Love the feels at the end of your video! Keep it up guys!

by far my favorite reaction of you guys, for so many reasons

Absolutely powerful and so meaningful. You all need to do more of BAAO. Keep it up. Love you guys!!!

Never saw Vin like this before. Such a real moment. I’m glad you didn’t cut it out. Haven’t heard this band in a long time. Great song choice. The lyrics are solid. They are a metalcore band. Metal and hardcore influenced. I think the reason the good bands in this genre (and others) get overlooked are because for every 1 good band there are 10 more who sound similar and the good band gets lost in the mix. I am a fan of bands who use their platform to tackle tough issues. I saw this a lot in the hardcore scene where bands took the time between songs to discuss something of a greater importance. One band I think does this really well are called Stick to Your Guns. The vocalist really writes from the heart on issues that so many can relate to. If you ever check out Stick to Your Guns I recommend starting with a song called Amber.

Pretty similar stuff. Silent planet is great live as well if you ever get the chance.

Just stumbled upon y’all tonight. This is by far one of my if not all time favorite bands. I first started listening to them about 7 years ago when they released their first album. This has been one of the first reaction videos I’ve ever seen on one of their songs and it made me so happy to see y’all connect so deep with their work. It has changed my life, it made me believe in myself, and it made me love myself. I’m beyond elated to see how y’all connected with it. Much love

Wow, never expected a Being as an Ocean reaction from you, pls react to more BaaO! THANK YOU for your honest and emotional reaction! Great musicians, great lyrics, great atmosphere - absolutely stunning! I´ve seen them three times, they are playing here every year in germany where I live and their music has such a great impact on me and it helped me in times when I was loosing myself, when I was heartsick and I couldn´t see a light at the end of my road :) Respects from Germany

This is one of my favorite bands of all time. I absolutely love everything they have out out. Glad you guys discovered them.

This was just great from you both... such emotional :-)

Best meaningful discussion of lyrics to a song that I've seen on any other reaction channel.

Please listen to more of their old stuff, you'll enjoy all that they have put out. I've seen them live countless times and I never leave without being fulfilled but with tears in my eyes

Exactly right Sori, I went and listened to almost everything they've put out.

Love this band, one of my favorites as well. I remember some songs from their first album popped up on my KZread years back and I was hooked and listened to the whole album and finished it with the feeling of being surrounded by love. I know that sounds cheesy but its true, I also was lucky to see them live in my city and they came with wolves at the gate which is a hardcore Christian band which they are out of this world as well bought their cd at the merch booth. Every album by being as an ocean is a wonderful experience, mothers is probably one of the saddest songs I've listened too by them. Good on you guy for listening to your viewers. Much love to you two much love.

So happy you guys did them

Never heard this band before. Going to be listening to more of this. Thank you both.

One of my all time favorite reactions. Year after year I comeback to this reaction when I'm drunk and revisiting the past and every time I watch sori sing this I smile and think everything will be ok.

this is hands down my favorite reaction ever.

So much love for yall, so hard to find a real human person, with real feelings and emotions, i mean so many people hide who they really are so as not to be noticed buy others for whatever reason. Again much love to yall. Thanks for keeping it a 100%.

Love this reaction guys

noice, i've suggested BAAO once with "Deaths great black wing" from thier 2nd album. another great song/message. This specific album GLOW is from he changes his vocals pretty drastically where the "growling" turned more raspy than emotion imo. Least favorite album of theirs. first 2 are gold. This is one of those bands that has changed my life and many others. positivity sure exist in metal. my favorite band.

I've watched this breakdown several times now and I now understand why Vin gets so choked up at the end. The "blood is thicker than the water of the womb" line is beautiful and Sori you broke it down really well, I just didn't listen properly the first few times...

Love seems like a lost art nowadays... it’s a high demand, scarce commodity and it seems to be taken for granted and greedily reserved. Some give it more often than not but far too often it’s kept in reserve like an unreachable goal that is only teased like a fairytale for personal gain and for some it’s a distant memory. For the past 7 years I have made a point to make sure that I share what love I can to those in my life, from casual acquaintance to close family, by reaching out to them, reminding them that I am here and that I appreciate them for sharing their lives with me because I want them to know that they mean something and that they matter to me. Fantastic message and song and as always, much love!!

Guys..i could write pages about this reaction.. now i can just say i love you guys. Your souls are on the right place! thanks for this material... it was actual for me ..

A lot of people don’t like their sound. Personally I like their first album dear g-d the best. 2 songs I’d suggest. The hardest part is forgetting those you swore you would never forget, and this loneliness won’t be the death of me. The last song on the album if they’re not counted, count me out is really raw and emotional because it’s about him dealing with the thought of loved ones ending up in hell because they weren’t saved. The whole album is just raw emotion.

The wife and I saw this band for my birthday. Went on the journey with them through the set, immaculate. Afterwards, Joel was just casually hanging at the merch stand. Went to introduce myself and shake his hand....he rocked backed, smiled and gave me huge hug instead...I am positive he'd do the exact same for everyone, as per the lyrics. Sending my vibes. Peace.

This is one of your best reactions. Please do more BAAO

Glad that you finally did a BAAO Song, I love this Band, they have, together with Silent Planet, some of the most poetic Lyrics I've ever read/heard. I can only recommend checking them out some more cause they've changed their style quite a bit with the last album (where Glow is on) in comparison to their debut album which was absolutely amazing Melodic Hardcore. If you wanna react to more of BAAO try "The Hardest Part Is Forgetting Those You Swore You Never Forget" or "Little Richie".

That was very beautifully Written song I've never heard of this band but props to them for writing such a beautifully written songs with the heavy metal aspect to his voice it was cool I'm going to be Googling them like no tomorrow

Being As An Ocean is also an amazing live band I hope you guys can see them play someday

There are a few songs by Being as an Ocean I'd love to see you guys react to! Dear G-D The Hardest Part L'Exquisite Douleur

Best thing I ever heard was from a friend I gave shelter from his environment for one or two days he was having a hard time, that I totally changed his perspective on life. And to be honest, I didn't do a thing. I just hung out with him, when he couldn't handle finding out he's beeing adopted when he had a hard time with his parents anyway. Well, I did chase him down the road when he was trying to run away first. But that's nothing to put a thought in, it's just what you do, isn't it? Took him a couple of years to say it though, so it must have made some impression on him.

Wow. Just as you anticipated, I've never heard of the band and will definitely be giving them a good look, despite the fact that hardcore isn't my favorite genre by any means. As someone who suffers from manic-depression but refuses to take medication, this really hit home. With quite a bit of force, too. The world's an overwhelming place, and that's very much a product of how blind most of us are to the troubles that we all face. To the differences between not just perspectives and the ways we think, the philosophies we craft, but also the mental faculties we are born with. Not everyone is created equal. With all due to respect to your religious background, of course. I really wish I had more time to go through your reactions and analyses, it's always a pleasure.

Vin looks like me the first time I listened to The Hardest Part is Forgetting Those You Swore You'd Never Forget by BAAO. I cried for hours. It hit so close to home for me.

I've seen them twice in concert and there concerts are very emotional. I recommend you do a lyric break down of The Poets Cry For More

So glad you reacted to Being as an Ocean. Their lyrics are deeply compassionate and their musicianship is brilliant. Please check out their latest two songs - Alone and Know My Name. These guys are the real deal. They recognize your pain and meet it with compassion.

Seriously, if you guys reacted to being as an oceans first full length album, you’d be blown away. The lyrics have gotten me through the majority of my struggles. I love this band.

When you started talking about the kids diving and how hard it is to dive under water. My comment has nothing to do with diving but I do have a vivid memory of almost dying under water. I was like 9 or 10. We went on a field trip to the local swimming pool with our class mates. I've always been a lone wolf most of my life. I swam mostly by myself in the deep end. I went half way down to the bottom of the pool. Got lost in the piece and serenity and Looked up and took a breath of water. I sat there and thought of what I should do for a second. Sit there, or save myself. I didn't care at the moment if I lived or died. I just randomly started swimming up to the surface until I choked on air and water. I sat there and thought of how easy it was to chose on life or death. A kid shouldn't be thinking of type of stuff but I was the odd ball of the class. Still am to this day. I don't consider death as an option unless I really need to. I like to use it as a thought that comforts me when things get tough.

I’d recommend people listen to their album “waiting for morning to come”, front to back. Puts their sound together, definitely worth it imo and they do alot of different things with their music.

The Hardest Part of Forgetting by Being as an Ocean!

First song i heard was the sea always seems to put me at ease, i think you guys should give it a listen, its so good!

Great emotional reaction! I think you guys would love the song Black & Blue (by Being As An Ocean). that always makes me cry

never heard this band before now and the friggin song got me all emotional lol like someone else here commented "it hit you like a truck"

Speechless by Memphis may fire, the most beautiful gospel song i've ever heard in my life

you guys just got a subscriber ❤️ love the way you dissected the lyrics from a believers view. if you like that song check out their other songs Little richie & Aint nobody perfect they go along together in a story sequence but either one is amaaaaazing ❤️

Being As An Ocean -The Hardest Part -If They're Not Counted, Count Me Out (this one is spoken word with few instrumentals though)

Idk where you guys are from but you should definitely go catch them live they are on tour right now!!!
