It took a little while, but the Kim Dracula Death Before Designer reaction videos came in abundance. My guess is it's so horrific that reactors themselves didn't know how to react within POS, and also, YouTube put a delay on things so it wouldn't get out-of-hand-viral and scare the advertisers. All sorted, and everyone has done a reaction, yawns - Next!

Falling in Reverse released a brilliant cover of Papa Roach's "Last Resort". They reimagined Papa Roach's year-2000 pop-punk song as an orchestral rock power-ballad.
Lead singer Ronnie Radke vocals are outstanding and perfectly capture the depth of emotional anguish and devastation of the poetry. He expresses himself shyly and softly at first, but it builds up within him as he lets it out, and eventually he is torn apart not by an explosion, but through his inability to contain it and his willingness finally let it all go.
The story telling is sublime, and although the vocals crescendo into insanity with wild screaming, it writhes in desperation to full emotional affect.
The video is desolate and deserted. Ghost-like figures play together in the string ensemble, but Ronnie is isolated and abandoned, as he descends into suicidal ideation and his world crumbles all around him. It's altogether haunting.
The video ends with a nod to their previous release, "Watch the World Burn", which I posted previously. That video ended with global destruction and flames engulfing the entire world. In this video everything is restored. The camera pans skyward to blue skies and sunshine, and the flames that burn the world are extinguished. This imagery shines a bright ray of hope into the dismal coda of this saddest of songs, and leaves us with a sense of victory and overcoming.
"Last Resort" is poetic, evocative and truly moving. It's absolutely masterful, and I never imagined I'd say this about Falling in Reverse, but this is really beautiful.
You're fine.

Kim Dracula is at it again. The new release is the first single on his upcoming album. It showcases range and diversity, and reveals a highly trained musician with jazz roots. One cannot deny that Kim is raw talent, but to my ear, he still seems a bit snotty and self indulgent and hasn't yet matured into a true inspiration. There comes a point in the musician's life when it's less about me and the image I convey and more about heart and empathy and the gift I bring to the world. It was the same with Ronnie Radke from Falling In Reverse. I followed the group for a while and I could tell Ronnie was a next level human being, but he was always somewhat self-concerned and never let us really see him, but with his cover of "Last Resort" he turned the corner, I could tell, because further to appreciating the genius of the man, he opened himself up and I felt every word as if it was the truth. I have followed Kim because he's outstanding. He prefers 'they' as a pronoun, but that's also a part of him still being introverted yet contrived like a clown on TikTok. I follow the journey because there will come a time when Kim gives up the ghost and starts spitting his truth just like Ronnie did with "Last Resort", and I want to see the flower bloom. However, even as a mere performer in a mask, Kim is a star, and I recognise genius when I see it.
No music video, unfortunately
