Therapist reacts to One By Metallica (ft. Jake Luhrs)


Therapist, Taylor Palmby, and August Burns Red vocalist, Jake Luhrs, analyze the lyrics of Metallica’s “One” to discuss how even someone’s one-in-a-million story can be relatable to all. The pain that someone goes through when expressed can make others feel not alone and the journey to triumph that someone goes through can be used to inspire…

  1. I'm just now starting therapy for PTSD that never went away after the Iraq war, and for the first time I identified with the guy on life support. Unable to communicate to those around you. Living but not alive. Wishing for death. Feeling like you died during the war, but didn't realize it.

  2. The book gives so many more disturbing details of his life/dream status. But not one in a million, it's he's the only one left in his world

  3. This is such a sad story, awesome reaction all the road paving songs incorporated this stuff, think of Iron Maiden " Number of the Beast", and so many others, to me the build to the solo was this man's pain and frustration and wish for death builds and builds and the guitar solo is him screaming inside, is just a epic epic song.

  4. I love and find it interesting how new fans and reactors are not seeing Metallica, Slipknot and other metal bands as just loud noise music but are actually noticing the themes and stories in their songs. The real fans are now taking notice.

  5. The Metallica Song that helped me thru my life is "Sanatorium"… It help me because it help me due to my childhood was like an institution that there was no freedom but you basic needs were provided with a cold sterile environment that would never change. Any form of self improvement was ridiculed and stomped out with threats of homelessness. All signs of divergence from the " Normal" way of acting was dealt with with Medications.

  6. I'll write this if you think it might help someone, I suffer from extreme Anxiety and Depression and/or possibly Borderline Personality Disorder?
    WARNING: This is similar to the video

    Obviously, I've never been in the physical condition of this man. If you take out the parts about the missing arms, legs and voice, I can identify with every single word! There was a time when I simply could not function AT ALL! I could not work, drive, watch TV, food tasted like paste, I had sweaty, scary nightmares EVERY night. I constantly drank water because my mouth was so dry. My speech was impaired by the tightness of my jaw and neck muscles, etc, etc. 

    I lost mostly EVERYTHING! My wife, my home, my job, not really my children but now they are grown and gone. 

    In 2008 I spent 1 month in a mental hospital for suicidal thoughts. In about 2017 I attempted suicide and didn't tell anybody that I crawled out of a freezing ocean because I couldn't take the pain of the freezing water or the sensation of drowning. Once I got years of medication, therapy, trained in martial arts (meditation), it got somewhat better. Now I can drive, do projects and watch pretty much anything on TV ( I know but that was a big deal to me). I'm still mostly alone and can't take much stress without starting to slide backward. I live in a room in my sister's house but I don't hang out with her or her husband, I stay in my room when I'm home accept to cook and use my bathroom. I pay rent and I have a workshop away from home to keep busy fixing motorcycles and building stuff.

  7. That particular song touched me a lot from the moment I first heard it, even before I knew its meaning, especially from the first time I saw the video, at that time I was only about 12 years old… Now I'm a retired soldier, I was in the Army for 20 years, and I saw many comrades lose legs and different parts of the body and now that I'm no longer in the Army and I see the video again, I feel it more personal and it gives me a lot of feelings of sadness for my fallen friends.

  8. This was Metallica's first music video and they were four albums in at least so yeah, they went over the top! This is way above and beyond most videos of the 80's in my opinion.

  9. In the opening scene, you can replace "democracy" with damn near anything: God, Allah, Country, political party, football team, president/pres. candidate, COVID-19 masks, "Family" (irony lives!)…

  10. Metallica is my favorite band. I have been listening to them since the mid eighties. I am here still because of them. The Song Fade to Black got me through alot of Dark moments. And still does, the song just makes you feel like you are not alone the build up through the song just fills you full of energy again. Thanks for reacting to them.

  11. This song, along with the video, always conjures up strong emotions for me. What a horrible and hopeless situation to be in. Sometimes I when I am feeling a bit down or depressed, I try to remember that my own personal situation could be so much worse and that I must pick my head up and move down the road of life. Thanks for reacting to this song.
