i think this encapsulates the struggle many young adults (including me) go through... the social anxiety, the questioning if it's worth putting in effort, the balance of healthy alone time and building enriching friendships... oh, and the wanting to be known! we often go through times where not many/none of our friends really know us truly well- either because they're new, or we struggle with opening up.... we're private, and often "just fine with being alone"
daveduznotrull Nah. Tessa's 70s singer-songwriter Laurel Canyon confessional thing wouldn't work on the charts. Today's charts represent more of what was happening in the early 60s and most of the 80s where the music was about having a "good time". We need another once in a lifetime artist that is able to bridge all genres and audiences. Beyonce is to divisive because of her politics, Lady Gaga is too weird in a good way. Still waiting for Taylor to become her influences, and be the voice of a generation she was meant to be. Since I think she is the only one with the popularity and skills to do it. Once that happens I think then maybe Tessa will have a chance then. Not because they are both female, but generally they are both freakishly talented butt kicking musicians who speak to the same and different audiences at the same time.
Jason Cromwell its a new world, anything can happen. Shes been on the forefront of modern social media from the beginning, and shes only been getting better at what she does.
Agreed with both of your points. Just recently discovered the 1975 really loving their album. My point is she still isn't talked about in the same league as the big guns, but with her cult following thanks to TH-cam she is getting there. Mainstream still doesn't take TH-camrs all that seriously sadly. I believe one day both Tessa and Dodie because of their talent will make it to the Taylor, Lady Gaga and Beyonce level of fame and respect.
The lyrics are thought provoking and really well constructed. I liked the narrative of the song. You really captured well the feeling of solitude. and when people say one thing but really mean another.
Ugh, this song is so relatable, especially for those with social anxiety. On one half I wish I could be someone likeable and have friends, but on the other I just want to keep to myself...I don't want to talk to anyone. It almost hurts meeting people I don't know and being anything more than a shut in aside from with closest family. Most of the time I think I enjoy keeping to myself, and "not putting in the effort". But then deep inside I really long for relationships, and to "be known". I wish I could tell myself to just STOP caring, but I can't stop caring so much about what people think. I'm so incredible self-conscious, anxious, awkward, and it's just the worst...
Can I just say, this EP and overall all your music is so magnificent. The hard work and natural talent shines through so brightly, and everyone of your songs is perfect for any moment. Keep up all the hard work, and good luck for the rest of the tour (I have no idea how much of that is left). I hope to see you live again soon, lots of love!
Every time I hear the line "Repeating myself I keep on yesterday" it literally leaves me breathless. I don't know why I find it so powerful but something about the way it's paced just really hits home for me
@@vaishnavii_s_ My take on it is that although she recognizes the problem, it is such a part of herself that she no longer notices that she does it. It's one of the greatest challenges people often face when trying to socialize: Overcoming their "self" in order to appear more inviting to others.
it's really interesting to see you include ideas/concepts that you've previously talked about in your videos in your music "It's probably true that I want to be known", for example
i love you Tessa this song is so relatable omggg like seriously these lyrics are basically the same words that are constantly on repeat inside my head every day already
I love that you're slowly crawling into an alternative rock style because with your voice its just absolute perfection ! And your whole overall aesthetic just makes it so much better
" i kept repeating myself yesterday", " yesterday I kept repeating myself"....... yesterday....I probably still didn't get it right ....but what I forgot to say is this person is a poetic genius, just freaking pure unbridled genius.
I've been listening to the entire ep on repeat for days because its so fantastic, but this song especially hits home. The lyrics, the melody, everything perfectly describes the struggle with social anxiety. You did an amazing job, Tessa!
Love the bluesy and pop feel to this song. You are so talented Tessa, one of the best songwriters ever of today. And the lyrics are so simple looking. 🤍👑⚜️💎🎶🎵
can we just take a moment to appreciate the asthetic of this video i mean i love the song but i really love the way tessa portrays all her songs physically its just really pleasing to the eyes
There's literally no song I've ever related more than this one. The thoughts she's expressing are things I've been struggling with lately. It left me with a very sour feeling; like yes YES that's exactly how I feel but after the music ends, I still don't know what to do about it. Loved it.
It's like this song is written for me, I tried to explain this to my friend and now I get to share his song with her to express what I'm feeling! Thank you!!
oh wow that's one of those rare songs where literally every single line is a thought I had before and I love the music it's so serious but also playful and I'm going to listen to it on repeat now
This is so gorgeous. The raw emotion coming through is jarring and beautiful. I love how the beginning started out with you lipsyncing but then you went to a place where the lipsyncing was no longer necessary and the song enveloped you whole. You no longer sang the song--you became the song. This video speaks to me so much and I thank you for making it.
Tessa is my favourite artist right now, she's got this unique style and sound that is just gripping somehow. The lyrics are fab and everything is just great tbh.
I really love this song and listen to it all the time on Spotify and oh dear lord the way you film your music and lyric videos bring me joy you amazing human
I honestly don't understand why this doesn't have 100 million views. Tessa you are truly magnificent, Halloway is the work of a true artist. Keep going and stay strong, we all love your work!
This song sounds like watching a storm from your window and then like being in the middle of an open field during that storm and then like you've opened the window or are standing outside your door and aaaaaa it's so beautiful
Also, do you record these videos at 60fps to a track that's doubled in speed so when you half the video speed you get movement slowed but your mouth movements match the tracked vocal? Cause I'm racking my brain trying to figure out how you made this happen, it's a dope effect.

Cayla Schellin this is really accurate. You know me better than I know me 😂
exactly
same
oath!
Cayla Schellin
This perfectly encapsulates so many things. Life anthem.
honestly your music should be in the charts by now!!!, it can't happen soon enough. this is nothing less than fantastic. congratulations Tessa x

Jason Cromwell I'd argue the 1975 are bridging the gap

First lyric. I put my foot in my mouth again 😂
+Yoshie the Dinosaur It means 'I said something that made someone else uncomfortable'
Beatrix Linetti I know that it's just it sounds hilarious
Beatrix Blackbeak
Thanks for explaining, for us not native English speakers unfamiliar with the phrase
Okay WOW it just hit me how much I relate to this
same very relevant to my life atm!

Alexiz001 same
Why is this so relatable
same
I'm sorry. That really sucks. I try to be mindful of that as an extrovert in my introvert friends. I really need to work on that.
Exactly
These lyrics!!!
And those bluesy chords
I love it all
Can't wait to see you in Belfast Tessa!!!!
Niamh Scanlon she does have a similar beat as Halsey. so good.
Niamh Scanlon hahah I'm sorry
I too would have a heart attack if I was halsey
Allen Walker aw they're both gr888
Tessa the talented... seriously you're one of the few TH-camrs that I really hope gets to the charts. you deserve recognition!!
I love all of the meaning behind this song specifically... it's also catchy so that helps lol
lol and swift hits top 10

I love you Tessa amazing

stunning! :D
+candysomething u r
Hi Tessa you're cool this is cool bye now
BRILLIANT!!!!!
I love how she just moves with her emotions it's amazing to watch
Saw Tessa in concert last weekend! There were meet and greets after and she hugged me and I got a picture with her. Tessa is awesome!
Every time I hear the line "Repeating myself I keep on yesterday" it literally leaves me breathless. I don't know why I find it so powerful but something about the way it's paced just really hits home for me
But what does it mean exactly?

Oh Tessa, my heart is breaking in my chest from this song.
it's really interesting to see you include ideas/concepts that you've previously talked about in your videos in your music
"It's probably true that I want to be known", for example
i love you Tessa this song is so relatable omggg like seriously these lyrics are basically the same words that are constantly on repeat inside my head every day already
Tessa really likes slowmotion, doesn't she? x)
Also, where's the smoke?
shhh, who doesn't like slow motion
Honestly, I think it was part of the "theme" through all the videos. Like, pastels, smoke (often), and slow motion.
Zack Snyder. Kidding LOL that guy would marry slow motion if he could
well it works ^^ errytaim
i think she has 2 sides, one is deep and depressed, the other one is cute and lovely, but i love both
Yes it is...Maybe she can do fun things ...Maybe she go to the sea. #tessaviolet
I loved the way she looked on all fours 😉
Why doesn't this have like a million views? It's worth more than just 200,000
I love that you're slowly crawling into an alternative rock style because with your voice its just absolute perfection ! And your whole overall aesthetic just makes it so much better
Beautiful and haunting song, heard it a couple of dozen times, always happy when it comes on.
this EP is definitely my on-repeat jam right now ♥
Tessa Violet slaying again. Absolutely ahmazing! 😍
" i kept repeating myself yesterday", " yesterday I kept repeating myself"....... yesterday....I probably still didn't get it right ....but what I forgot to say is this person is a poetic genius, just freaking pure unbridled genius.
there are multiple times where the letter "o" aligns with her head and it's perfect
I've been listening to the entire ep on repeat for days because its so fantastic, but this song especially hits home. The lyrics, the melody, everything perfectly describes the struggle with social anxiety. You did an amazing job, Tessa!
Never heard a song that so perfectly express what I think and feel
The empty room was a nice touch. I can relate. Thanks for this song. Very moving.
This song made me cry so much, it narrates perfectly my current chapter in life
Just saying this song means a whole lot to me. Thank you for putting all my crazy feelings into words
Hey Tessa I'm normally not into this type of music but I've been really impressed with the songs you've been releasing! They're great :)
Love the bluesy and pop feel to this song. You are so talented Tessa, one of the best songwriters ever of today. And the lyrics are so simple looking. 🤍👑⚜️💎🎶🎵
can we just take a moment to appreciate the asthetic of this video i mean i love the song but i really love the way tessa portrays all her songs physically its just really pleasing to the eyes
i love this so much.. especially how honest you are in your lyrics, and the rest is just so beautiful omagad

TESSA'S LYRICS, AND HER VOICE OMG TESSA ILY
Oh my God I feel like you just laid my heart out for everyone to read.
Yesss Tessa 🙌
this is like an introvert's anthem
Honestly I can totally relate to this song so much.
Yours is a voice I can lose myself in. Thanks for your songs, especially this one and Make Me A Robot.
This song is just so FREAKING RELATABLE
Astounding Video, single take!, yet another step up from previous work love it.
AMAZING as always!
This song resonates so deep with me. I can relate to this 100%.

The best one so far! I'm really in love with your songs
It's like this song is written for me, I tried to explain this to my friend and now I get to share his song with her to express what I'm feeling! Thank you!!

I love you Tessa! I recognize myself in this lyrics! Every word. Nice to know that I'm not alone in the world😬

Visually beautiful. Lyrics are stunning. And Olan Rogers had me laughing while holding a news paper while it's burning.
"Talking to people is a game i can play" hit home.
I'VE HAD THIS SONG IN MY HEAD ALL DAY AND NOW IT"S HERE TO LISTEN TO WHEN I NEED IT
Every single word of this song...i relate so much. It is the reason to all my problems and anxiety
straight from the soul
How amazing are this new songs, I mean, I can't stop listening them on repeat

This is distressingly relatable.
oh wow that's one of those rare songs where literally every single line is a thought I had before
and I love the music it's so serious but also playful and I'm going to listen to it on repeat now
I'm loving the concepts for these lyric videos. So simple but well done.
This is so gorgeous. The raw emotion coming through is jarring and beautiful. I love how the beginning started out with you lipsyncing but then you went to a place where the lipsyncing was no longer necessary and the song enveloped you whole. You no longer sang the song--you became the song. This video speaks to me so much and I thank you for making it.
Just wanted to say that I'm loving the feel of your last few songs.
This is my favourite song of Tessa's thus far!
so beyond obsessed with every song on this ep!! x
Honest to god... you're talented and deserve the world.
All your songs are the best you are just so amazing you don't have any bad songs they are all so amazing I love you so much!!! You are so talented!
Just fantastic. that is all.
wow this is so beautiful!! you have so much talent, Tessa. I wish I could ever go to a concert of you ❤
Tessa is my favourite artist right now, she's got this unique style and sound that is just gripping somehow. The lyrics are fab and everything is just great tbh.
oh look it's a song that's exactly expressing my daily thoughts
This is my jam! I love dancing around my kitchen to it while I make dinner.
I really love this song and listen to it all the time on Spotify and oh dear lord the way you film your music and lyric videos bring me joy you amazing human
This speaks my soul.
Beautiful song and Violet!
Your talent knows no bounds. Each video is more impressive than the last. So wonderful
Your voice is incredible. I wish I had musical talent. Keep doing what you do. Your songs always make my day.
Tessa your music makes my hairs stand on end, and I don't think there's a greater compliment for music than that. I
haze and this really hit home for me ;-; i love this so much
OBSESSED. ❤
scary accurate...gave me shivers
No matter how sad I am everyone of her songs can make me happy she is the Queen of pop no doubt
this song speaks to me so deeply .... wow!
I love that you and Nanalew are working together for your lyric videos.
I'm gonna embrace solitude, cos that's all I can do, and there's good introspective work that can be done. Be kind to yourself
I honestly don't understand why this doesn't have 100 million views. Tessa you are truly magnificent, Halloway is the work of a true artist.
Keep going and stay strong, we all love your work!
I AM SO INCREDIBLY IN LOVE WITH THIS EP HAZE AND THIS ARE POSSIBLY MY NEW ALL TIME FAVES
LOVE
This song sounds like watching a storm from your window and then like being in the middle of an open field during that storm and then like you've opened the window or are standing outside your door and aaaaaa it's so beautiful
THIS SONG GETS ME EVERY DAMN TIME.

I listened to this song on spotify so many times today, and then I come home and there's a video up on TH-cam! I love this so much.
YESSS TESSA GET IT GET IT ALL
TESSA THIS IS SO BRILLIANT
It feels like you are giving a voice to the silent torture that people endure.
These lyrics are incredible
