Me and my friends were practicing it during music and our teacher came up to us and was like, “you guys do realize that songs about a school shooting, right?” And we should stood there looking at each other realizing the concert was in 3 days, and the only song we knew how to play was this one. We ended up playing Song 2 by Blur, kinda badly since we had only 3 days to practice it lol.

Everyday I think about it and I hope that nobody ever has to go through anything like me or other kids ever.

One of the biggest factors contributing towards such incidents continuing in perpetuity, imo, is the manner of media coverage they receive, in which said media rewards the perpetrators of these tragedies, not only with the instant infamy and power incentives the perpetrators learned could be achieved through prior media coverages, but also with the publicizing of any political manifestos perpetrators may have.

what i dont get, is why ppl in america immediately associate the lyrics with school shootings. its not, whatsoever. its about a singular kid, whos dad loves guns and therefore prob quite aggressive. which means, the kid, who is the singer too right?, so the kid is a mentally unstable one, and this kind of threatening with shooting is his norm. this is his default, to threaten others he doesnt like, not with words, not with fight, but with guns. also, there is no violence actually carried out according to the lyrics, only threatens. its way more like, a bad parental situation and aggressive father model, which leads this kid to be a total introvert, and he is singing this song in his head, as a fantasy, to himself, as to what he should or would do some day. this is also based on the very much reverbed whistling, reverbed and echoed singing effects put on the vocals, let alone the parts of those run run run like at the beginning. its all echoed, which reminds you of it being sang in a cave, which is a metaphor for your own head, which is the cave. which means, all of this, is in this kids head. which means, no act is carried out.

I would hope it would fill you with condolence that you aren’t the only one that has felt that way, but because you aren’t so pathetic you fall to your lesser demons and understand being that monster solves nothing and makes you far worse than whatever or whoever put you in that headspace. No matter how bad a spot your in you can find happiness and success on your terms and and that is far greater revenge than destroying not only the ones that cause pain but doing worse to everyone who ever cared. Short story, it’s ok to feel like a loser sometimes, that doesn’t mean you need to make yourself a bonafide one.

Absolutely not. You think it’s better to not acknowledge anyone can feel this way at some point, but you don’t act on every impulse? By getting it out there that people can have crazy thoughts or rage and understanding we can rise above them, sometimes easily, sometimes we have to reach out, and remove some of the stigmatizing elements we can hopefully lessen these atrocities. Knee jerk reactions like calls to ban weapons are pointless in the end. You have to address the root of the problem, which is the individual by listening and helping.

3:45 I absolutely LOVE how you explained the elements of this song and all the eras they are pulling from/their purpose! I’m trying to build my very first original song (as someone who’s only just recently decided to finally start trying my hand at the medium itself) and I’m trying to mix and match different eras to make some kind of…bubblegum pop 60s/70s/80s hybrid rock? All I know is I want something to sound like I took this song, and Journey’s Don’t Stop Believin’ and merge them all with the Beatles and Beach Boys, all under a bubblegum pop vibe! It’s my very first time seriously trying my mind at music and music theory, so I’m intentionally not worrying about “perfection” or whatever, and focus on just having fun playing with sounds! So far, I have the drum beat, the baseline, and a couple of spaced out semi emotional synths, all done in the wee hours of the morning! I better go to bed, but I think I might have something here! Again, thanks for this video!💖

As a 90s teen I will never forget Columbine. Although that was far from the first or unfortunately last school shooting, it was one that resonated with me. These were kids just like me and my friends. We loved metal and Black and AAAAAHHHHHHH!!! if you down you know what I mean. Either way, for me this created a mistrust in those around me. I thought, well hell, if their friends didnt know how would we? What if it IS Me who has this festering? IT was intense. To the parents of today, treat yourselves and your children well. Treat those you come into contact with with Love and Compassion. For I still believe we will Life in a World of Peace. Our lessons are clearly documented for us, the future is OURS!

@IICHARLESII

Ай бұрын

It isn’t just in America. It’s a culture problem. All through history in America kids and teens had access to firearms, much more so than today. We had parking lots full of trucks with guns on racks at highschools. Bulling was more common place, fights broke out on the regular. Disarming law abiding citizens will not solve it, mass murders do not follow gun laws. Even is you could magically make all guns disappear, there are plenty of other means of committing atrocities just as easily and effectively. Not to mention you leave everyone helpless to the better fighter or larger group. If politicians and schools really wanted to make everywhere safer, we would start teaching coping skills, allowing for and fostering communication and teaching proper intervention that doesn’t discourage individuals from coming forward yet does recognize when a threat is truly imminent, hopefully influenced never to reach that point.

An undeniable teenage angst classic. I don't think there's anything else in the popular conscienceness to this day that has that sort of bite to it that we feel here.

December 5, 2007, Robert Hawkins shot and killed eight people and wounded four others at a shopping mall in Omaha, NE. The lyrics don't mention anything about a school shooting. Robert was 19, was bullied in high school, and took out his 'revenge' at an affluent department store, then killed himself. Mark Foster came up with the chorus first, then needed to write the back story through the verses. The song wasn't written about Robert specifically, even though it appears that way with the first line "Robert's got a quick hand." He could have used Johnny or Billy, but he didn't, he used Robert because it was a current, real-life story, which made it more personal and relatable. The music is happy go crazy, the lyrics are dark, but if you have ever been around someone who has snapped, that is exactly how they behave right before they end everything.

I’ve always been the type of person to really listen to songs not just to the beat but the lyrics. I was young when this song came out like 6 or 7 and I remember the first time I heard it. It was on the radio and me and my sister were in the back seat, she had obviously heard it before because she was singing along. But I was just sitting there listening and slowly realizing how truly dark this song is.

Great video. It was very engaging, interesting to watch, and you showed great editing and video production skill. The video was easy to understand, while still working some humor into it. This guy deserves at least 1M subs.

I must admit. You delivered this entire video with great info, references, etc…what I am most impressed with is you managed to get this out without mentioning Jeremy by Pearl Jam. Not once. I was just sitting and waiting and it never came. That’s usually the first one anyone goes with; especially when it comes to songs about shootings, or redrum from the view of a teen red-rumer or someone within the same sphere of reality as said teen. Kudos :) excellent video

But he did it in self-defense

I used to get jumped in high school. I got sick of it and brought a knife and got caught with it and got a 15 day suspension. When I got back to school I got jumped again and got suspended for 10 days while the 10 kids who attacked me got detention. I was tired of it. So when I got back I skipped and got on public transportation with an Easton softball bat. I walked to the front door just as the bell rang to end the school day. I saw the kids who jumped me and clocked the first one I saw with the bat. Chased the others down the hallway. One came out of the bathroom in front of me and I clocked him as well. Then I left and took public transportation back to my house. The next morning I got called into the office. There were 3 sheriff's officer waiting for me along with an administrator and one of the kids who kept jumping me. I told them I wasn't there. They checked roll and saw that my mom called me in. They called my mom at her job and she told them I was home with food poisoning and she was there the whole day. They asked the other kid if it was me and he looked at me and I stared back and he said no. So they sent me back to class. The kid approached me and told me I wouldn't have anymore issues. I said I better not, cause it's only gonna get worse from here.

I remember they played this all the time at my summer camp

Guys gonna have a real civil court problem.

Fun fact where I live my school is beside a trailer park and two guys tried to rob another dude in one of said trailers so in the middle of recess the robber and his buddy were in their car park in the middle of the parking lot behind (for reference the school separated the grade but where they sent the off to play wad just the parking lot 6th in front of the school 7 beside to the left and my grade during the time 8th behind it) they jump out and one of them has the great idea of hey lets shoot the ground beside a school to scare the robbed dude so like most would expect everyone ran one of my friends a little two late because me and another friend just sprinted at the first shot and he was confused if we were having a race so we went inside and went to our home rooms my dumb friend decided to put on music through if phone and the first thing was pumped up kicks. In the end no one was harmed because the robbers weren't really shooting up the place but everyone thought they were .TLDR friend's spotifiy plays pumped up kicks during a shooting lock down.

The EQ coming out of the gun was fantastic. Great video.

I have heard other explanations of this song, and this one has to be the best. The song is intriguing to me on many levels. The first time I heard it (back in 2017), the beat caught my attention. Then I listened to the lyrics, and tried to make sense of them. This helped.
