Having worked as a therapist, teacher and coach with a Masters in Counseling Psychology, there is a fine dance between authenticity and being in touch with our own emotions, aware of our own bias, perceptions and potential projections and transference; as well as remaining a steadfast, safe and professional space for those in need. While I am not the viewer’s therapist in this video, I still strive to find that balance. This song evoked strong emotions within me, that I will speak about a bit (within measure), but there is also a plethora of powerful takeaways we can all gather from this song. Showing our emotions on camera is always a tricky, at times questionable, but apparently an increasingly powerful way to connect in our digital age, as so many seem to long for genuine reactions and connection.

This song just killed me. I lost my father in 2019 to brain, stomach, and lung cancer (Agent Orange exposure in Vietnam).
One side note: I have been to therapy sessions in the past, and not once have I thought that any show of emotion by the therapist equaled to the therapist not having a grasp on objectivity. It just showed me they were a human being. 🙂 I hesitate to use the phrase “misery loves company” but the therapist showing emotion tells me that they can empathize and sympathize with my situation, and in the midst of grief and pain, often times all a human being wants is to know that someone else understands their pain.
Weißt du, was dieses Video so lächerlich macht?
Ihr Frauen könnt keine „richtige“ Trauer empfinden, weil die Angst den Mascara zu verwischen immer größer ist.
Du stoppst dieses Video, um perfekt geschminkt wieder zu erscheinen, das ist so falsch und lächerlich!
Männer wischen sich die Tränen mit den Ärmeln aus den Augen, ihr Frauen tupft ein bisschen daran rum, die Hauptsache ist, dass eure Schminke nicht verläuft, peinlicher geht es nicht!
Und genau hier zeigt sich der Unterschied zwischen beiden Geschlechtern, Frauen müssen sich schminken, um schön zu sein. Männer sind von Natur aus schön!
Ich habe Unrecht?
Dann beweise mir im nächsten Video das Gegenteil und zeige dich von deiner natürlichen Seite!
Lächerlich, eure gekünstelte Selbstdarstellung…
I have a terminal illness and I know it won’t be long but, I’ve had this talk with my mother and father and siblings each one on one alone. I do want to go skydiving first. 😂 anyway, I’ve totally accepted what is coming and I know 99% there is an afterlife and I almost passed away 2 years ago and was shipped 6 hours away to a specialist and it wasn’t like the first time it was a dark silent place but it felt like the walls were closing in ….in a paranormal way lol. The first time was an appendectomy and they got me to the back room and all off a sudden the pain level from 1 to 10…..was a 10,000…..and we got back there filling out papers and the pain went from all the way up there to a flat 0……I told my mom I felt better and started getting my pants on because I was going to leave……the pain went away because it had busted and that pressure went away. I told the nurse I can’t feel anything anymore I felt fine….she pushed me back on the bed yanked my pants out from under my gown and screamed CODE RED and 10 people came running and started pushing me out of room to operating room. Anyway during surgery a family member was the anesthesiologist and said the doctor had went to cut part of the appendix and cut my main artery and I flat lined. However non of the nurses or Dr was going to tell me…he told me about 15 years later…..I asked the staff what happened and they went and got the Dr. he said he cut my main artery and when they got it closed and got me back and gave me blood transfusions ….he cut himself in me. Not only do I have that abscess infection from my appendix seeping out and into my insides infection all it touched but I got the doctors blood in me when he cut his hand open with a scalpel through his gloves and it squirted everywhere….then was sewn up with cat guts and have all this in me which 20 something years later I’m dying of kidney and liver disease and my back and teeth are deteriorating and have a torn neck muscle tons of things….so when I say I’ve had this talk with my parents and siblings……they know I’m going to stick around and haunt them and some of my other favorite places for oh 300 or so years then may move on. Unless they make one of those machines in the movie “Casper,” then I’ll come back to life as a real boy! …..🧐🥸🤔🫥👻👺 I forgot to put “oh wait that’s Pinocchio 😂😂😂” 🕵🏼
I appreciate your raw emotion. This is exactly what I must have looked like the first time I heard this song. It still wrecks me if I don't distract myself.
Thank you for this very intelligent and multivalent reaction to this song. Those initially offputting words, "I'm not your son, you're not my father," apparently is something each would say to the other — both have been soldiers, and would say this upon deployment.
This is how it was with my dad and me. I was with him overnights, because I knew he would pass then. Died in my arms. I am so glad I was there though it was traumatic. Also, unlike my brother, I had that last father – son talk, and im so glad. My dad was a great man and loving dad.
