He wrote this song about his girl that left him at a very dark time... His best friend and bandmate helped him finish the song. That bandmate then died of a drug overdose. So every time he sings this song he not only remembers the pain from her but he looks up to the heavens in remembrance of him and his loss.

One of my favorite songs of all time. Seeing Corey without Slipknot mask belting a song with possibly the deepest lyrics I've ever heard.

Corey has actually broken down mid-performance while playing this live. He's baring his soul with this one.

It's because of Paul his former bandmate RIP that he gets emotional. Paul said he should put this song on the record but Corey wasn't sure. Yes the song is literally about a woman he used to love but it has deeper emotion for Corey

Now it's time for some SLIPKNOT ✌️✌️✌️ the fans will be here for it! Massive rabbit hole for you to dive into

To me, this song is one of the best "break up" /failed relationship songs ever written. Just love the lyrics and obviously Corey sings amazingly.

Stone Sour´s Bother is a great song with similar vibes as this one. That´s also Corey Taylor in the lead.

Can’t wait to see her face when she reacts to his band Slipknot

Anything Corey Taylor is just amazing! He brings real feelings to everything he does! He’s such a great guy!

I believe this song was made for a woman that Corey had loved in the past, a relationship that didn't end well, but i know it was someone who helped Corey through a rough patch in his life and he thought they felt the same way but it was not to be. He also said it was something that he needed to hear as it helped give him the push he needed to figure himself out.

This is true at the time it was written. But this shows with corey where he play snuff, it is 100% tribute towards Paul Gray (close friend and ex bassist for slipknot) who died. And this song would not be possible without Paul. Atleast with slipknot. THis is also why he cracks up during this song (cuz of Paul). There is another live version of this song, that was like closer to when Paul died, and he broke down during this song. it was really tough to watch. But he still did amazing with vocals. But yes, these lyrics are about a girl lol. just wanted to add info and also im bored at work.

@@robinheps6774 another piece of the story, this was the last song that Corey and Paul worked on together.

So this was a song he wrote about a relationship he had with a woman that he had very deep feelings for and she helped him through a lot of hardships. However, in the end, she didn't reciprocate his strong feelings. He has said it's a very dark song about being in a place where your back is against the floor and it's not even CAN you pick yourself back up, but do you even WANT to? Pretty heavy place to be. When he brought this song to his band, Slipknot (a metal band who are known for a much more hard core, high energy sound) they weren't really feeling it at first. But the then bass player, Paul Grey, really liked it and kind of rallied for it to be on the album and got everyone else into it. They released it on their 2009 album: All Hope Is Gone and of course, it was a huge hit! Unfortunately, Paul passed away the following year due to an overdose. It hit the whole band really hard. So now when Corey sings this song, it's in memory and tribute to Paul because of the love he had for it and it was one of the last songs they worked on together.

"If you still care, don't ever let me know" gets me every time!

Taylor was found, by VVN Music, to possess the second-highest vocal range of any known singer in popular music with a range of 5 and a half octaves. He was beaten only by Mike Patton (6 octaves). His voice is very unique as is his talent.

This has to be the 500th time I’ve watched that live video and I still get emotional listening to it.

You can find the entire concert live on youtube. It will be 2 hrs well spent. Its so good and ive not seen an audience that harmonizes with an artist like that.

Hesitate, is a great one. Please do it next. Corey is Great. His books are good too. This and Snuff hit hard. My wife of 16 years left me for another guy. To everything from me.

Brings a tear every time....

I think this song is so touching, and Corey's vocal talents are just perfect for whatever he happens to put to music.

That song is 100% emotions.

I've never heard this before. Wow!

You have a beautiful outlook on why artists do what they do

Artists/Musicians bare their souls to people who perpetually hide their own. The desperation of refusing love in order to survive unharmed, is truly profound♠️🕊️🙏

Love you Britt!

This song hits me every single time… I love it.

One of my absolute favorites! The studio recording is amazing but this particular performance sounds like a studio performance with the visuals to match and makes it stronger. Great performance and Corey Taylor has a masterful pen!

Omg! This was so awesome! Such raw emotion

after paul died which is his band mate in slipknot this song just hurts even more. Love this song, corey taylor and Slipknot

Love this ❤️

It’s so cool to see Corey’s progression. From Stone Sour and Slipknot to being a solo artists. The fans show him the love and sing to help him along.

Outstanding song

The crowd showing love by singing is beautiful. Another amazing example of that is Green Day 2017 at Hyde Park. Absolutely nothing but love

So glad you played this song

Have you reacted to Pearl Jam - black, the live unplugged version? If not, I highly recommend it!

Welcome to yet another rabbit hole. Your peeps guiding you into subs and exploration.

I love seeing people reacting to this song and changing their faces, really getting emotional with this work of art

every time I hear this song it makes me cry and I'm a 30 yr old man. The reason why it makes me cry is because I can hear my demo singing it. I love my demon and my demon knows I love her. And yet I still cry for her.

Few songs give me goosebumps after hearing them for 100xs. This one still hits so hard. All emotion!

Soooo tragically I lost one of my best buddies I grew up with last year. I was always country music and he was metal. He joined the military and had to move away and we didn’t see each other for a while but while he was gone I started listening to more rock and metal. This is a song he showed me a long time ago and I never really liked it much. After he passed away I sat down and really listened to it and now I love it and rock out to it all the time for him knowing he’s with me laughing at me singing every lyric. Rest easy brotha until we meet again. 🤘🏼

Great Perspective Beautiful Woman 😪😎

I have a huge emotional attachment to this song, really glad you watched it

At 4:50 when Corey screams a fire truck started blaring it’s sirens outside my house, perfect timing

What a song 🤘

Corey Taylor is the GOAT and this is one of my favorite performances ever 🖤 For the complete opposite from him/them you should check out Slipknot - Spit It Out live at Download Festival 2009. The insanity abounds lol ❤️‍🔥 I’ve been listening to them for like over 20 years now. We all have the style we prefer from them, but their self-titled first album in 1999, Iowa in 2001, and then Vol. 3 Subliminal Verses in 2004 are my favorites. And completely different in sound. And All Hope Is Gone lol they have tons of great music 🖤

Hi... Try some..,, simmilar,, 🤔.. From Germany.. The singer was a homeless, and it's about his life.. :"heute nicht song,, TeX" (acoustic in under ground Station.. And. :"Slime - heute nicht, live,, Wacken" (with his Band...).. Enjoy another language😉

The video though! WOW

You should listen to his cover of Wicked Game. It's so incredibly well done. The band is called Stone Sour

I always listen to peoples reaction on this one its one of my favorites and it became my first tattoo on my chest it means alot

You're s legend and do is corey taylor ❤

If that's from London 2015? I was there. When corey played this it was absolutely heartbreaking..you could feel his hurt

You should react to Ren "HI Ren"...if you liked this...that will blow your mind and it's a super important message about mental health....first time I heard it it made me cry...I still tear up every so often

master piece

I jus found your channel and looking thru what kind of videos you react to.. This is one of my favorite songs by Slipknot, written by Corey.

You really need to check out his other bands Slipknot and Stone Sour he is very talented. This song always hits home for me.

Corey Taylor is super talented! Not to mention soooooo sexxxy ❤

The official video is 🔥

corey taylors voice is just ridiculous

Big fan of your reacts, you're very cool 😎

I feel really old that this is a 'react' video ... but Corey has one of my favorite voices. I love him.

Corey ❤

What a great song. I was fortunate enough to see Slipknot perform it live in 2022. It’s been many many years since this song has been on their set list.

Thank you for reacting to my request. You need to do a Patron or something like it if. Hope you enjoyed this performance. Corey is the lead singer of Slipknot, and he's not this soft often. But this song is one of the most powerful songs ever written.

Also the lead for Stone Sour. Just wow

You are correct. This is is a hard song for him. But needed to be said.

Corey is the singer from Slipknot. The Bass player and Coreys good friend from Slipknot died not long before this, RIP Paul Gray. It's really about his ex wife. Corey is probably my favourite singer, he has a great singing voice as well as rough/screaming and can rap. Ivan Moody from Five Finger Death Punch is probably my no.2. Have you done Wrong side of Heaven?

This one always gets me 💔

Opening sediments are beautiful, well said 🤘

Corey Taylor actually made a cameo in the Falling In Reverese song Drugs. Corey is also the lead singer in Slipknot and Stone Sour

0:34 maggots do respect it. be sure they do. that's why we are maggots and corey is the most humble guy on earth. and who does not respect a person's private life is not a maggot and did not understand anything.

He is Corey Taylor. Slipknot, Stone Sour and CMFT.

It's easier to have the wall up than to alow someone close to you to hurt you

My freshman year in college, I was seventeen and quite impressionable when I met my first ever philosophy prof...he would take a group of students out to dinner a couple times a month and one evening, we got into a discussion about the very thing you mentioned here, vulnerability in art. I was suggesting how brave I thought Burroughs had been to write the book "Junkie", and he said that you have to always remember that exposing vulnerability in art is generally a narcissistic exercise...it's a play for sympathy, for support, through (sometimes) excellent execution of one's talent. It's an attention grab, and that's perfectly okay, as long as the artist is confident enough to own the reality.

The Baltimore version, he actually breaks down during the performance.

At 5.27 (in your clip) he sings "Angels like (to) keep control". In that line he watches the sky above him for just a slight second. That just breaks your hart when you notice it.

A nice real reaction. Some other bands you might want to add to the list "Type O Negative" um maybe "bloodywood"

Check him out doing purple rain. Such power and raw emotion

Welcome to the world of Corey Taylor he is a musical I would strongly suggest you check out his other bands as well stone sour. Brother or looking through the glass are good songs to start with or cheek out some slipknot. You already did the acoustic version of snuff maybe suffer or psychosocial, he is an amazing artist

I believe it is about a woman that he fell for, but he misinterpreted her feelings, and they weren't mutual. But I believe she us still a close friend

You should really watch the music video for this song. Phenomenal.

In the same live taciturne is amazing

So I've been waiting for it for a while... but this seems like a great intro into some METAL MUSIC reviews for the lovely Britt. If this gets seen and is worth checking out, my current favorite which features two absolute Queens of the genre, peep out Nita Strauss Ft. Alissa White-Gluz: The Wolf You Feed

Corey Taylor was featured in falling in reverse's drugs that you reacted to

one of the few songs that never fails to bring a tear to my eye.

Corey sings for slipknot and Stone Sour, as well as his self-titled CMFT BAND. Once you see his face, it’s impossible not to love slipknot you owe it to your self to give it a shot.😊😊😊

You should hear his other band, SLIPKNOT, and STONE SOUR

they get paid well for it

Depending on mood its this and Bother that he sings with the band Stone sour and Duality that he sings with the band Slipknot rotates my 1,2 and 3 favorite songs of all time

If you enjoy this, I'd recommend God Went North by Nothing More and Ghost by Badflower. Both very emotional songs.
