As a citizen soldier myself(national guard) I have loved their songs and some hit way to close to home . I've suffered with depression brought on by the stuff I've seen and done and this song does not miss that mark at all. I am proff that asking for help doesn't hurt only helps I've buried to many brothers and sisters I'm tired but until God calls me home ill carry this mantle and keep preaching that suffering in silence only kills speak up and don't choose a permanent solution to a temporary problem

Ohhhh shit it makes so much sense

One of my favorite parts about Citizen Soldier is that their songs never blame anyone for feeling the way they do, they tell you things can get better and that they know what it’s like because they’ve been there before. I meet so many people who put on happy songs when they want to stop feeling sad, but Citizen Soldier always cheers me up because they help me remember that I’m not alone, not the only one feeling how I feel.

People who know me, know that when I'm listening to Citizen Soldier it means that I'm needing a reminder that I'm not the only person struggling.

Because of Citizen Soldier I have been 4 years clean from self harm and 3 years clean from suicide attempts, they saved my goddamn life. I remember meeting Jake in Phoenix AZ and I spilled my guts to him and he looked at me with a smile and said "I am so glad you are still alive". I almost cried because I felt like I had been forgiven for my self harm attempts and my suicide attempts. BUT DON'T WORRY I AM PERFECTLY FINE NOW!!!!

Their song Scarecrow is so good! Deep, profound, intensely relatable and his vocals are ON POINT

PLEASE do more Citizen Soldier! They are an amazing band!

Citizen Soldiers lyrics are always this deep. They have some of the deepest and most powerful lyrics I have ever heard in a song. U REALLY need to go through their catalog PLEASE

"my own miracle" (and that whole line up of singles) are really good!!!!!!!

Wow…not only are the lyrics powerful but omg that voice 🔥

I found them maybe 3 years ago through "Would anyone care" and I'm a fan since then. Bought their CDs, have multiple shirts and I hope to see them live one day! Every song is so deep and literally saved someone or helped others to understand them. I can't imagine going one day without their music! Jake's voice and talent grew so much over time, it's unbelievable!

HOLY CRAP U GUYS ARE FINALLY DOING CITIZEN SOLDIER. PLEASE DO MORE CITIZEN SOLDIER. U WILL HAVE A BUNCH OF CONTENT WITH THEM This is my favorite band right now. PLEASE DO MORE OF THEM

HIS VOICE! 🫠✌️🫶❤️‍🔥🎶☕️ The MESSAGE! 👏👏👏👏🫂

So glad you have chosen to react to Citizen Soldier. Been listening to them for a while now. Every single song gets you.

I found this song really difficult to listen to at first. I was SHer from the age of 13-18 (now 25). It took years for me to even contemplate going outside without a hoodie. Even to this day i sometimes find myself remembering the scars and almost having to fight the urge to cover them. I'm not so much ashamed of my scars now its more the possible questions. I honestly dread some of the questions, like the "why" question because it is virtually impossible to explain. A friend did ask once and the look on his face when I said I didnt know, of course he then followed it up with probably the worst question at least for me personally "did it actually help?" And yh it did, but for maybe 0.2 seconds, because once the initial release I felt I needed had passed, it hits you what you've just done and you feel insane because of course you are, what sane person gets comfort from hurting themselves, that is crazy...so now you feel stupid, crazy and need the release all over again so it becomes a cycle. Not to mention the guilt that comes with everytime you fall victim to the urge to do it, the urges that at least for me have never gone away. I'm now 25 years old and haven't done it in roughly 6 years but even to this day I still get the urges to, not all the time but when things are super stressful or sometimes just randomly the thought will cross my mind for seemingly no reason. So yh this song really hit close to home for me, Im actually currently saving to get an actual tattoo to cover the scars I have (most are barely noticable now so I doubt anyone even realises I have them).

I have been listening to citizen soldier for over a year now and every song is absolutely amazing. They all deal with mental health issues but they are all worth listening to. I really hope you do more songs by then. Afterlife, I'm not okay, Wanted, Would Anyone Care, and I Hate Myself are some of my favorites.

So glad you guys reacted to them. I highly recommend "would anyone care".

This is the second time I've listened to this song and I'm bawling my eyes out, I've NEVER done the self harm thing, BUT I've struggled with anxiety and depression all my life. This song SMACKED me HARD in the feel bone as Eric would say, anyway another song that's really good by them is This is Your Sign made me bawl my eyes out for a good twenty minutes.

no way!! i’ve been wanting yall to react to them!

Omg!! I didn't think you guys would ever react to them!! Thank you so much for reacting to them! I just went to one of their concerts and Jake himself wrote down "I where my scars just like tattoos and I'm so damn proud of what they put me through" which I am going to get tattooed at some point. Thank you again for reacting to them! Please react to more I'd love so much to see more!

So glad you're finally reacting to Citizen Soldier! I absolutely adore this band. Their music is so meaningful and deep and I love every song of theirs. Would love to see you guys react to Would Anyone Care and Wanted! ❤

I’m 51 and an old 80’s metalhead that prefers to leave the 80’s back where they belong and embrace the new. With that said, I was drawn to this band pretty much from the minute they appeared on KZread. I found out how to hire the band for a party before I could find any other shred of info about them. They’ve been nothing short of astounding! I’ve been spreading the word on them ever since. A few years back, I went through one of the worst nights ever, and opened my computer in the morning to the new release of “Weight Of The World” and damn near lost it. There’s no question Jake has a magical way of reaching people. That singing is something well beyond soulful. I don’t have any other way of putting it. Jake is the rock n roll version of Patch Adams! Without the clown routine. It doesn’t matter who you are or how lousy your disposition is in life, you can’t help but love him! 🤷🏻‍♂️

Definitely your next reaction should be the song by citizen soilder and Lø Spirit-Limit, the song is a masterpiece and really hits the emotions.

I LOVE YOUR REACTION... CITIZEN SOLDIER MY FAVOURITE BAND. MORE MORE, MORE REACTION THIS BAND... PLEASE; I LOVE BAND.

The first time I heard this song, I had a breakdown. I was deep in my self-harm addiction and an eating disorder, and it was only getting worse. I'm now almost 11 months clean, and in my second trimester of a pregnancy, that's definitely helping to keep me clean. It's been incredibly rough, and I've almost relapsed a handful of times, but im doing it. I love your guys' reaction to this. You two are quickly becoming my favorite reactors.keep doin what you do ♡

I'm a woman who is 54 yrs old. And even at my age this band has and always will give me the strength to heal what my past trauma has done to try and label me as. I have just recently found out my granddaughter is going through this same pain. Knowing I can share how I survived using Citizen Soldiers songs to let her know she is not alone. They are so underrated and I'll do my best to spread their healing words

If you wanna understand the group more I would recommend going back to the beginning, their songs are kinda a story as a whole and some are brought into other songs and their progression in such a short time is amazing

Citizen Soldier has saved my life after I've been at my worst so many times. They truly are amazing and you should definitely listen to more of their stuff. Save Your Story, Irreplaceable, Would Anyone Care, and Who I Am are my personal top favorites but all of their songs are truly so meaningful to so many people

I love this band, Jake's (the lead) voice is stunning and their lyricism is just simply beautiful and so damn relatable. Some songs of theirs I recommend (even though all their songs are epic and ya should Def do a full deep dive listen) 1. Would Anyone Care 2. Bedroom Ceiling 3. Easy's Never Been This Hard 4. Pretend My Pain Away 5. Just Be Happy 6. Words That Don't Exist 7. Invisible 8. Pandora's Box 9. Hand Me Down 10. If These Scars Could Speak 11. Say Goodbye 12. Stronger Than My Storm 13. Hallelujah (I'm Not Dead) 14. Face to Face 15. Bitter 16. Buried Alive 17. Caroline (Has an actual official video) 18. Found 19. Irreplaceable 20. Limit ft Lø Spirit 21. Afterlife (their most recent release when writing this comment) 22. Waiting on The Sun 23. Isolate

Every one of their songs I’ve heard, has moved me to tears. So emotional and so real.

Citizen Soldier got me out a dark place these guys are a blessing.

As someone who dealt/deals with this kind of stuff citizen soldier has always been my go to when I needed to be lifted up. Im beyond excited that yall are finally reacting to them

Omggggg finally!!!!❤ Thank you, please react to more of there stuff, they are truly amazing 🙏🏻

I've been waiting for these guys forever! Always throwing "pretend my pain away" on the suggestion list!!

"WOW" is all a can say abiut that song. I honestly have never heard of this band and I am so happy that you introduced me to them. Kyle said they go heavy and light so I am very interested in hearing some of their "harder" stuff. The song and the message behind it that he told us was amazing! I love how he made you feel that no matter what you are going through, it will make you into you will become, never stop trying. I feel that this message can be relevant to more then just subject matter of this song, it could the same as many types of depression. Just my thoughts, anyway I'm rambling again, definitely on my playlist but I do see me skipping it once in a while as the message is very powerful and don't want my workers seeing me cry...lol Great reaction as always!

I found citizen solder not that long ago, and they are growing as one of my favorite bands. I have mental health issues and mental disabilities and a lot of times I need to listen to these songs just so I can feel good and have a good cry. Tattoos, scarecrow, and would anyone care are tied for number one from them. I like the message they share of don't be afraid to be yourself and we all take a journey to show not to be ashamed of ourselves for tattoos, you may think no one would care but they would and the world without you wouldn't feel the same for would anyone care. A Lot of the songs they do are so emotional and there good to cry to. 😭😭😭

Citizen Soldier is quite an amazing band. It is RAW! It hurts and brings the feels. They hold a special place in my heart ❤️

Yeah finally reacting to Citizen Soldier. A very underrated band. My favorite song is bedroom ceiling. Well actually they are a band that saves my life

I think most of the songs are from his own personal experience. Citizen Soldier is one of my favorite bands. Please do more of their songs. Great reaction guys!

I got to hear them perform this live a few weeks ago, and during the silence before the second chorus someone in the crowd yelled "you made it!" and I've thought about that every damn day since. (They sound just as good live btw)

when the song said you can’t change the past just choose the frame 🥺😭that got me crying😭😭😭😔😄love this song ❤😁😊❤️👍

ABOUT DAMN TIME YOU REACT TO THEM Duuude these guys got me through a lot, along with Starset and I Prevail. Sooo good, I have heard every song they put out since 2018 mere seconds after release

Oh can't wait for you to check out more of them. I love their Music so much.

I've been listening to their songs for a while now and I find them to be healing and helpful for a lot of people who have gone through the same thing.

I love them my coworker introduce me to this band about a year ago and I can say it has helped me keep going and to not give up. Its hard when you feel so empty were no feels can get though. It's like my body feels like an empty shell of it self. I haven't eat in two day stright been sipping water will try to eat tomorrow.

"cause theres a kid out there thats hearing this thats in that place" good lord chills to the bone. im that kid

Holy. Shit! Ok, first time hearing this band, and I'm here for this. Such a deep song, yeah, I wasn't expecting this, had no clue what to expect. Never been my struggle but yeah I relate, in the same manner of what Kyle said. Thanks for this reaction.

Yeah! So many great songs. Please, go down, this rabbit hole as well. Older songs great, just like Beartooth, lots to go back and listen to. 😊 Every song and their lyrics are amazing and so many people can relate to.

I absolutely love Citizen Soldier. Love your reactions as well. Citizen Soldier and NF are 2 of my favorites. Letdown is another good one with some deep songs.

Thank you for your great reaction ❤ i discored CS in the past and they helped me during hart times. Lyrics and music are always on point.

I am absolutely happy that you are reacting to citizen soldier absolutely relatable and I love them❤

You should listen to “waiting on the sun”

He does this for the people in that dark place. His songs have helped numerous people. When I was in my Sophomore year of highschool, I found them one night while I was on the edge, with a plan to throw it all away. You should listen to "Never Ending Nightmare" by them. Because it's a beautiful song, and it's the song that saved me that night. I loved the reaction, and all of the things you had to say about the song, and the topic of self harm itself. Amazing video 💜

This hit way to hard for me, cuz i wear my scars like tattoos, i have them everywhere. I use to self harm very VERY bad when i was younger and i have deep scars that i should have had stitches for and never got but the ones i wear as a reminder are the ones on my left wrist, when i tired to check out but my grand father (he was not with the living when this happened) came to me and told me it hasn't my time and said to be strong. I am also a recovered addicted of 6yrs from heroin cuz cutting wasn't enough anymore. I feel EVERY word in this song. I do have tattoos (plus scars dont take ink very well) but they do not cover my scars cuz i need to remember why they are there. I get stared at a lot cuz they are on my legs, stomach, arms are very bad and i have satisfaction on my back too but every scar has a story that helps me make it to the next day, even my scars from using. Sorry for the sob story but this hit to hard not to share.

Bedroom Ceiling was the song that introduced me to Citizen Soldier and I've been hooked since.

You guys have to do more!!! They are one of my favorites, sooo good!!

People who do NOT write their own songs don't have the attachment and emotions behind the lyrics. Jake puts his heart and soul into his lyrics.

i have been through the same thing. I'm 11 and have cut my wrist and I felt so so ashamed. But when I heard this song it touched my heart and I'm proud of my scars "I wear them like tattoos."

I struggle with self harm and I found this song and it has helped

Whelp I have a new artist to listen to! Wow thank you! Tho I am currently sitting here on my lunch break crying. Worth it!

Great song psychos. Love the voice and lyrics…..I’m a mammal. I also can’t jump…..am I an elephant?

This song in particular CUTS deep

One way to word it is that we are who we are today, BECAUSE of who we were. Regardless of who we were at the time, we have changed, and that change is what makes us who we are now. Many of the people that live in this world now, don't think they have anyone to turn to when these things happen and Citizen Soldier's songs let them know that they are NOT alone in this world. There are so many other people that will do whatever it takes to help you survive and keep on going, and they are not the only one that do that. 'Five Finger Death Punch' is another great example of mental help for those that have problems. These people are what makes society better than what it was. Thank you for all you do for those that feel like no one will help them, thank you for giving them hope, and most importantly thank YOU for being YOU.

They also vibe with my mood disorder and ptsd I love them

I hope you'll react to more of Citizen Soldiers songs, they're all deep like this. Hallelujah I'm Not Dead is one of my favorites.

[Verse 1] Used to pull down my sleeves Used to put makeup on So everyone would think I'm fine and nothing's wrong I buried all the pain Used to feel so ashamed Of all the things I wrote About myself with razor blades But I kept holding on Until the final page Survive the story 'Cause the ending changes everything [Chorus] And now I wear my scars just like tattoos Because I'm so damn proud of what they put me through I've learned without a doubt every mark that Makes you feel worthless, can give you a purpose And now I wear my scars just like tattoos 'Cause I'm a miracle, every cut is proof Another chapter written in the story What couldn't kill me made me something so brave I wear them like tattoos [Verse 2] I've held my story down I've swallowed every scream Thought if I wasn't fake They'd think that I'm a freak I buried all the pain Used to feel so ashamed Until I learned that you can't change the past Just choose the frame So I'll keep writing songs Until they know my name 'Cause there's a kid out there that's hearing this That's in that place [Chorus] And now I wear my scars just like tattoos Because I'm so damn proud of what they put me through I've learned without a doubt every mark that Makes you feel worthless, can give you a purpose And now I wear my scars just like tattoos 'Cause I'm a miracle, every cut is proof Another chapter written in the story What couldn't kill me made me something so brave I wear them like tattoos [Bridge] No more dysmorphia, I will not grieve The darkest days that made a masterpiece I choose to celebrate what made me me 'Cause a heart of gold, no it don't come cheap And this heart of gold's one the world will need [Chorus] And now I wear my scars just like tattoos Because I'm so damn proud of what they put me through I've learned without a doubt every mark that Makes you feel worthless, can give you a purpose And now I wear my scars just like tattoos 'Cause I'm a miracle, every cut is proof Another chapter written in the story What couldn't kill me made me something so brave I wear them like tattoos

Citizen Soldier helped save my life.

Thanks 4 this amazing and awesome react about this incrible band !

Wow, guys... this was different, very touching! I have adult friends (with adult children) who still harm themselves due to traumas in their lives. They are better than in their younger years but still...

My favorite song by Citizen Soldier

Very nice song, got me teary.

I'm not crying... you are! 😭

You HAVE to react to their song ”would anyone care” please! It’s so good! And always makes me cry haha ! Love u guyss ❤️

I was wondering how long it would take for your react to citizen soldier. The singer Jake is a licensed therapist, but also a suicide attempt survivor. Excellent band!

More citizen solider!!!

More on the lead artist, he's more than just a therapist, he's a survivor! His first song was written in a Psychiatric Hospital after an attempt on his own life. Thank god he survived, he's improving everyone's lives.

The lead singer battled mental health and now uses those trials to help thousands of people. Listen to their catalog, you definitely won't be disappointed. They are incredible and they come out with banger and banger.

I nvr cut myself with a blade but i used to bite my fingers and hands and claw my arms and face to make "invisible" scars. Tempory scars that hurt that would cause physical pain to relieve some of the mental and would evn break the skin sometimes and then would hafta hide it so no body would see them. Evn now i still do this evry now and then because i can only take so many years of build up at once. I have quite a few knives and have contemplated on many occasions of killing myself with those blades but somthing would always come along at the perfect time and stop me wether a song a friend or family member. And over the years ive attributed that to God putting those things in the perfect place wen i needed them at that moment because there's no explanation for why ive been stopped so many times other then that.

Fuck citizen soldier always makes me cry with songs like this but also lifts me up

What a beautiful, fantastic, powerful message! 😭💜💜 Awesome Reaction, Boys!

their entire catelog is fan fucking tastic. i adore this band and more ppl need to react to their shit.

You guys should listen to Hand Me Down and Bedroom Ceiling by Citizen Soldier.

" I buried all the pain used to feel so ashamed of all things I wrote about myself with razor blades." that lyric got to me and made me cry because I am a suicide survivor and the first time I tried to commit I was 14 the second time I was 16 I'm 22 now and I'm mentally disabled. That lyric specifically got to me because I used to self harm because I tried to commit. I still regret it my own father and I don't have a good relationship. He doesn't notice me or even tell me that he's proud of me he doesn't even support me because I'm bisexual. I hate the fact that we grew out of our relationship and I miss talking to him I really do.

Please do more of this band!!

More of them? im going to see them in July!!!!

Even though you guys won't be checking them out on the channel, I really hope you do deep dives on your own!

😢 A few years back I googled who would care.. As to who do you address and how do you put down words you can't find to explain what you're feeling inside.. When you're not even sure who will care.. I found tattoos from citizen soldier.. And my path changed, I found unlimited reasons to not leave my 4 year old son behind.. And to give myself another chance. And my scars inside and out became my tattoos. @CitizenSoldier thank you. 🤗

Thank you so much for this reaction!. Can you make, in your future videos reaction to more of their songs. You have such cool reaction videos and it would mean the world.

❤ this so much and I love that song so much citizen soldier is amazing love them do more of their songs please ❤❤
