Apparently this song was written about a real life music producer who was abusive towards his wife. He would hide her shoes so she couldn’t leave and it was rumored he’d threaten to display her corpse in a glass coffin he had if she ever attempted to run away and just in general was a horrible horrible person.
Actually it was written about a guy named Phil specter and veronica Bennett he would constantly abuse her and there kids. He also refused to let her leave. Ronnette and ronnie talking about veronica and phil at the part "I'm leaving Phil I'm leaving now" talking about Phil. Now Phil is serving years in prison for violence and abuse in jail. Idk if were talking about the same people because as you can tell I didn't do that much research on this but I know about.
Ik this song is really dark but it makes me so happy like the overall tone just itches my brain just right. I listen to this song on repeat its just so good.
Lol for those not in the know, it’s about the real life music producer Phil Spector who imprisoned his wife Ronnie Spector, a famous music artist, in their mansion. Fun fact: Phil committed second degree murder and died in prison last year :D
This song has helped me a lot, I've been through a lot of abusive relationships and I feel like this song just perfectly captures what it feels like. When you first hear it you might think it's a cute Christmas or love song when its actually about abuse. Kinda like when you first get into an abusive relationship and it seems almost too good to be real. Someone is so deeply in love with you that they spend every second of the day with you. Making you dependent on them. Soon you'd realize that it really was too good to be true, and that you're too far down the hole to leave. They realize that you know this and they reassure those thoughts by telling you about how you can't leave. Finally you get the courage to go and it all ends as quickly as the song stops. It still lingers though by getting stuck in your head like the memories from them.
oh gosh... as someone who's been through situations really similar to this, it... it feels good to get away from them. feeling like I was depending on him drained the life from me. everything was grey. bleak. there was no way out. until there was, and I realized I wasn't truly trapped, and that my family missed me. I missed them too. he would get angry if I talked to them or hung out with my sister. manipulation at its finest. it still impacts me to this day. I am glad to move around, cause he'll never know where I am or where I'm going. even passing by his place would bring back all the memories. the ones I've tried so hard to bury. I honestly think he would have killed me if I stayed any longer. wanted me to get social security benefits so he could get the money from it. idk what would've happened after that. I don't like thinking about it. I'm just glad I'm not there anymore.
@@WhenWillMySufferingEnd bahaha ur good! I've actually healed quite a bit from when I wrote this comment (tho I still deal with things sometimes hah..) and have a person in my life who actually cares and is interested in all my interests and wants to make sure I'm doing okay. He's so kind and talented haha
This is based on the case of Ronnie (veronica) and Phil spector, they were in a relationship I believe for 7 years? He would hide her shoes, along with having barbed wire and guard dogs outside so she couldnt escape. He said if she did escape, he would kill her, to build on this he kept a gold coffin with a glass front and said it was so he could look at her "once she was dead." It was so bad she would overdrink in order to end up in the hospital just so she could leave the house for a bit?? I believe that this song is based on the fact that either he adopted a pair of twins for Christmas or made her adopt a pair of twins for christmas (?? Correct me if i'm wrong ??) Phil was very abusive overall, especially mentally. Later he was convicted of murder, and I believe he died fairly recently? Deserved imo. I feel like this song should have more respect put on it, being that it's literally based on a horrible violent case of domestic abuse? Just a thought.
Ronnie just died. Listening to this song I feel so angry for her. Phil was such a piece of shit, nobody deserved that kind of treatment especially not Ronnie :(
yeah, i guess the composers of the song could have been a lot more considerate, but i really do feel like this song is the way of roar saying "fuck you" to philip spector. it also gives an insight in the abuse veronica went through, even though i cannot in any way say how abuse feels like. at first the song sounds sort of happy, just like how no one knew veronica was suffering. it's a painful reminder of how you never know what strangers passing by are going through, and how much you could help if you reached out
Ronnie Spector was a singer in the Ronettes under the label Philles Records, which was founded by Phil Spector. After a 2 year affair, Phil divorced his wife and lived with Ronnie in a Beverly Hills mansion. They were married 2 years later in 1968. The relationship was manipulative and abusive. Phil sabotaged Ronnie's career after their marriage and forbade her from performing. He surrounded their home in barbed wire and guard dogs, and took all her shoes to stop her from leaving the house. When he did allow her to go out, she had to drive around with a life-size dummy of Phil. He threatened her with a gun on multiple occasions, and installed a gold coffin with a transparent cover in their basement, telling her that he would kill her and display her corpse if she tried to escape. in 1971, he adopted twin boys and "gifted" them to her on Christmas. He used their lives to threaten her and make sure she wouldn't leave him. She did eventually escape in 1972, barefoot and without any belongings. A long legal battle ensued, where she was unable to perform for money because Phil owned all her tracks. In the end, he was forced to pay her over $1m in royalties, and she was granted custody of their 3 children. In 1982, Ronnie remarried Jonathan Greenfield and had two kids. She wrote a memoir about her life, career, and marriage to Phil. She died on January 12 2022 after battling cancer. She was 78. Phil Spector died in 2021 after spending the last 14 years in prison for a murder he committed in 2003. He was 81. ++ they are the two people on the cover of the band roar, ronnie spector and Phil Spector
god im not even in my musical phase anymore but cant you imagine this being in an animatic between jd and veronica like I’ve been thinking about it for awhile
with every new fandom I join, i see if it stands the Christmas kids test. Meaning I listen to this song and see if I can imagine an animatic in my head to it. Has worked every time so far
You thought a song with the lyrics, "if you ever try to leave me I'll find you" and "I'll drink myself to death inside this prison cell" was gonna be innocent? Lol
When I first heard this song it made me so incredibly sad! The lyrics "I'll know, I'll know" remind me of the fact that no matter where or how far I run away from my current life, there will always be people that would still remember who and how I was and track me down no matter what and that thought kills me, even if the only person that remembers is me, that still somehow saddens me deeply... Please can you guys genuinely explain to me what makes this song so lovely to you?
I'll take a stab at it. The song is certainly lovely to me but mainly because I love that 60s motown and garage music sound. I appreciate the music for reasons other than what its authors intended, as an insult to Phil Spector. Music can affect one on a deeply personal level, unique to you and your mindset. Perhaps this applies to you?
When I first heard this. I felt this was just a random song. But now understanding that Ronnie was abused by Phil makes it so creepy, horrible, and just so sad. Rip Ronnie. She was just as am amazing as we asked for. ❤
The fact that this song is about one of the members of the Ronettes and they are popular for their Christmas songs and the song is called the Christmas kids
@@amoraobscura that's so fucked up, they're actual human beings not a necklace or something who thinks children are an appropriate christmas present?? everything i learn about Phil makes me hate him more
THE CHRISTMAS KIDS WHERE NOTHING BUT A GIFT, AND LOVE THIS TOWER WHERE ALL OF US CAN LIVE YOU'LL CHANGE YOUR NAME, YOU'LL CHANGE YOUR MIND AND LEAVE THIS FUCKED UP PLACE BEHIND.
IM LEAVING PHIL, IM LEAVING NOW IM GOING TO ESCAPE BUT YOU WONT KNOW HOW OR WHERE TO FIND ME WHEN IM GONE ILL DRINK MYSELF TO DEATH INSIDE THIS PRISON CELL, THIS PRISON CELL
yea the song is actually based off of one phil specter(and of course his wife ronnie spector) he imprisoned her in their home and mentally tortured her, she would end up drinking unhealthy amounts in order to be hospitalized just so she can get out of the house.
This song reminds me of JD from heathers because he says “Ronnie” and that name reminds me of Veronica (which I think her nickname is Ronnie but I’m not sure)
Been listening to this on repeat feels different when your in a relationship that actually matters :/ edit: we're still dating, shes amazing. we listened to this song together. I miss her :(
it’s about the abusive relationship of phil spector and ronnie spector. phil constantly threatened to kill ronnie, prevented her from performing (which sabotaged her career), even buying a gold coffin with a glass top telling her that he’ll put her corpse there so that she could never leave and he will always watch over her. phil surprised her with twins one christmas hence the name of the song. on the rare occasion, that ronnie got to drive and leave the house, she had to bring a life-sized dummy of her now ex-husband. ronnie became an alcoholic as an escape, she found herself more free in a hospital (alcoholics anonymous) than in her own home that was covered in barbed wire and guard dogs so that she couldnt escape.

@@ghosthead1618 maybe they're trans, maybe they weren't comfortable with their birth name for many reasons, either way you can change your legal name if you want to I'm pretty sure but it's kind of tedious
Feeling like no matter where you go, no matter what you do, you will never escape your abuser is a powerful thought... it’s a feeling of wanting to leave but not seeing the point, as you’ll end up where you started or worse... It’s so hard to just leave that MINDSET, let alone the actual place, but the freedom felt once both are achieved.... it’s the most amazing thing.
trigger warning ig yeah i dont think i'll ever forget the time my abuser sent me this song, knowing i've heard it before and compared it to me and them. yeah uh, no thank you.
I know this is about an abusive romantic relationship, but when I listen to it I think about my relationship with my dad. I feel like I can never leave, no matter how much I want to. Like I’m trapped.
Most people say the meaning is a toxic relationship with a partner, but it feels more just all toxic relationships (friendships, partners or even parents) I feel so comfortable with this song, as I had a toxic best friend who kind of manipulated me into believing they are a good person (they weren't and still aren't) it happened years ago but still they affected me into barely trusting me people anymore but I am happy yo be away from that.
This song is manipulating you into thinking it’s a comfortable happy song. When it’s a goddamn admission of guilt for false imprisonment, physical, emotional, and mental abuse, and stalking. I’d do some research bc the story is insane and it’s wild that people are just now talking more about it.
i found this song recently and was looking for the lyrics and found this but i did the mistake of reading the comments while listening, so every time i listen to this is think of the context behind the song and it makes it so much more difficult to listen to this bc with every song i hear i imagine an animatic of whatever fandom im obsessing over at the moment and then i feel so damn guilty lmao
I'm happy this song is becoming popular! The song is dark.. but at least more people can hear it (I listened to this song before it was popular on TikTok)
I used to be confused on why the song said ‘I’ll find you, ronnie’ and instinctively i was like ‘whos ronnie?’ but after some research i found out and now the whole song makes sense and all of this is so cool, go study it for yourself!
as a ronettes fan i did not know just how dark this song was 😭 kept seeing it in edits and finally listened to it after watching an analysis of the song
The abuser in this song was arrested for murder and is now dead (died from covid in jail). He was a producer. And not just some kind of producer, he was working with cohen, beach boys, lennon and so on. His ex-wife (the abused) was a very famous singer in (i think) 60's. She did run away thankfully but the stories are awful. I advise you all to check it out.
Worst part about this is that it was written about Phil and Ronnie specter. Phil abused and threatened Ronnie so many times, sometimes at LITERAL GUNPOINT, took away her shoes so she couldn't escape, had literal BARBED WIRE and GUARD DOGS so she couldn't leave, had a coffin with a glass lid and he said that if she ever tried to escape that he would DISPLAY HER CORPSE IN IT. He also almost never let her leave, but when he did, she had to drive with a LIFE-SIZED DUMMY OF PHIL, and many, MANY other horrible things im not gonna get into in a simple youtube comment. They're the cover btw, and the name of the song "christmas kids" was based off of the fact that Phil got Ronnie ALIVE TWINS, for CHRISTMAS as a "gift". This was so she would get attached, and not leave. The kids weren't taken care of and locked in their room with buckets as TOILETS. She escaped, thank God, but not after years of trauma. She remarried and had 2 kids, Phil was sentenced and died, thankfully. Unfortunately Ronnie passed away in 2022, rest in piece. This video explains the whole story in further detail: th-cam.com/video/chis65W5jfY/w-d-xo.html
Hey man I related to this comment a lot last year. Still not doing so good lol but def better than at the start of 2023. Hope the same is to you. I remembered listening to this a lot a comfort and I also remembered your comment
not ironic but on purpose i think, this song is about veronica bennett and her abusive husband phil spector. and veronica bennett is a singer from the 60's
0:47 for some reason, the first time i heard this song, i thought it said "i'll find you, grind you" and considering the context of the song, thats rather unsettling

The song is about the abusive relationship between Phil and Ronnie (Veronica) Spector. Phil would trap her inside the house, threaten to kill her, and he'd hide her shoes so she couldn't leave.

I’m just wallowing in pain while I constantly watch different South Park Christmas kids videos :’)
i love this song sm its unreal
Omg this is a masterpiece
This song helped my through 6th grade :...)
Why this song is about a murderer
Kaley Johnson I look at it in a positive way , back in 6th I didn’t know it was about murder.

THIS SONG IS SO GOOD
i genuinely named myself ronnie because of a song...
update: changed my name to adrian because ronnie is a fucking stupid name
as you should :)
You’ll change your name you’ll change your mind. And leave this fucked up place behind
How?
so u changed ur name and changed ur mind,,
but jokes aside, that's so cool 0:
@@ghosthead1618 maybe they're trans, maybe they weren't comfortable with their birth name for many reasons, either way you can change your legal name if you want to I'm pretty sure but it's kind of tedious
The line “the Christmas kids were nothing but a gift” is a reference to how he adopted 2 kids during Christmas time
Feeling like no matter where you go, no matter what you do, you will never escape your abuser is a powerful thought... it’s a feeling of wanting to leave but not seeing the point, as you’ll end up where you started or worse...
It’s so hard to just leave that MINDSET, let alone the actual place, but the freedom felt once both are achieved.... it’s the most amazing thing.
trigger warning ig
yeah i dont think i'll ever forget the time my abuser sent me this song, knowing i've heard it before and compared it to me and them. yeah uh, no thank you.
What makes this worse is this song is about a REAL case of abuse.
Edit: Forgot to mention that I assume you left them, and I'm glad they're gone
@@chillfactory9000 oh I'm aware of this, I'm a true crime and stuff alike fanatic. (They are out of my life btw
Hope you’re doing well now!!!
im so sorry :(
@@d0wn_cast299 great to hear theyre outta your life, hope everythings goin good for ya now
Bro even tho this song is so dark I still enjoy it💀-
(2)More than u could know. The chrismas kids were nothing but a gift, and luv is a tower where all of could live
I know this is about an abusive romantic relationship, but when I listen to it I think about my relationship with my dad. I feel like I can never leave, no matter how much I want to. Like I’m trapped.

i never knew the lyrics so i looked this up and looked into the comments and now i Cannot Sleep 😁
Most people say the meaning is a toxic relationship with a partner, but it feels more just all toxic relationships (friendships, partners or even parents) I feel so comfortable with this song, as I had a toxic best friend who kind of manipulated me into believing they are a good person (they weren't and still aren't) it happened years ago but still they affected me into barely trusting me people anymore but I am happy yo be away from that.
the meaning literally is a toxic relationship with a partner, that’s what the song is about.
plss bro this song is literally about the abuse case of phil and ronnie spector
This song is manipulating you into thinking it’s a comfortable happy song. When it’s a goddamn admission of guilt for false imprisonment, physical, emotional, and mental abuse, and stalking. I’d do some research bc the story is insane and it’s wild that people are just now talking more about it.
@@mewtorus how about you educate people on the subject instead of shitting on them and being mad for having different perspectives on it?
It’s official…this is now my favorite song.
I love how the first part of the song sounds
Idk but many are sleeping out on 1:36 the beat sounds exactly like Be my Baby by Ronnettes. And it's suuch a cool easter egg.
I saw this song in 2016 and I cried at this song so im gonna rated 100 out of 10
i found this song recently and was looking for the lyrics and found this but i did the mistake of reading the comments while listening, so every time i listen to this is think of the context behind the song and it makes it so much more difficult to listen to this bc with every song i hear i imagine an animatic of whatever fandom im obsessing over at the moment and then i feel so damn guilty lmao
Same
I love this song bc its probably how the abused would feel, maybe that kind of person think of their abusive behaviour as "lovely"
I'm happy this song is becoming popular! The song is dark.. but at least more people can hear it (I listened to this song before it was popular on TikTok)
It's been on TikTok since 2021
@@Cxrt3q I've been listening to it since 2020 and just found out it was popular
this songs on tiktok?
@@ipukakaka yep
I used to be confused on why the song said ‘I’ll find you, ronnie’ and instinctively i was like ‘whos ronnie?’ but after some research i found out and now the whole song makes sense and all of this is so cool, go study it for yourself!
And The Lorax Picked Up His Butt And Floated Through The Clouds Leaving Nothing But A Slab Saying “Unless”
I love this song so much for no reason
as a ronettes fan i did not know just how dark this song was 😭 kept seeing it in edits and finally listened to it after watching an analysis of the song
found this song through an angie dangonronpa edit
SAME LMFAO
LMFOAOAISHW
lmaoo
Bro sameee
Goodbye Phil!!! It’s about time :)
i’ve been listening to this on repeat😩
This song is exactly what I feel about my situation. I left my abusive ex but I am still stuck with him because we have kids together.
The abuser in this song was arrested for murder and is now dead (died from covid in jail). He was a producer. And not just some kind of producer, he was working with cohen, beach boys, lennon and so on. His ex-wife (the abused) was a very famous singer in (i think) 60's. She did run away thankfully but the stories are awful. I advise you all to check it out.
Worst part about this is that it was written about Phil and Ronnie specter. Phil abused and threatened Ronnie so many times, sometimes at LITERAL GUNPOINT, took away her shoes so she couldn't escape, had literal BARBED WIRE and GUARD DOGS so she couldn't leave, had a coffin with a glass lid and he said that if she ever tried to escape that he would DISPLAY HER CORPSE IN IT. He also almost never let her leave, but when he did, she had to drive with a LIFE-SIZED DUMMY OF PHIL, and many, MANY other horrible things im not gonna get into in a simple youtube comment. They're the cover btw, and the name of the song "christmas kids" was based off of the fact that Phil got Ronnie ALIVE TWINS, for CHRISTMAS as a "gift". This was so she would get attached, and not leave. The kids weren't taken care of and locked in their room with buckets as TOILETS. She escaped, thank God, but not after years of trauma. She remarried and had 2 kids, Phil was sentenced and died, thankfully. Unfortunately Ronnie passed away in 2022, rest in piece.
This video explains the whole story in further detail: th-cam.com/video/chis65W5jfY/w-d-xo.html
I'm listing to this while crying on Christmas. I feel like I ruin everything. Fuck this.
Hey man I related to this comment a lot last year. Still not doing so good lol but def better than at the start of 2023. Hope the same is to you. I remembered listening to this a lot a comfort and I also remembered your comment
@@rashes2286 oh shit really? Same here man. It's still bad but I'm doing better
when i first heard this i didn’t pay attention to the lyrics so i genuinely thought this was an actual christmas song
Its so dark but happy sounding
the melody, tempo, and lyrics completely display my personality and feelings
🤔
It sounds great! :)
Also, it sounds like a 60s song :)
not ironic but on purpose i think, this song is about veronica bennett and her abusive husband phil spector. and veronica bennett is a singer from the 60's
just discovered these guys and holy shit this is good shit here, unless you losten at night... Wtf
Me when first finding this song: aw this sound like a wholesome song 😊
Me finding out what it means: ... Holy shit...
Before knowing the story:🤗🤩😍
After knowing the story :😰😨😥😱🤕🤧😪😓
Yeeeeea 💀
The story of the lorax truly is a sad one
@@Mr.Pocket ik this is probably a joke but what? 💀
My man Phil summoned the lyrics with all the words present in his mind
This song makes my belly hurt knowing the meaning..
This song makes me uncomfortable and comfortable at the same time
This song is so underrated tbh
wew this song is now a trend on tiktok
ain't no fucking way this lyrics is so messed up but still a vibe
it’s a real case what
Played this song on my way to moving to the UK from South Africa
I'LLL KNOWWWWWWW I'LL KNOWWWWW‼️‼️‼️ 💃🕺💃🕺💃
As someone whose name is Ronny, that startled me lmao
MY NAME IS RONNIE LMAO
8 out of 10 South Park shorts use this sound
this song is dope as hell
Fact: Phil spector surprised Ronnie (Veronica) Spector with twins on christmas
yeah without her consent to trap her in the abusive marriage
1:13 just saving it here for myself
0:47 for some reason, the first time i heard this song, i thought it said "i'll find you, grind you" and considering the context of the song, thats rather unsettling
Bruh I just found this song and i thought it was a pumped up song....its really good tho and its helped me alot
"the christmas kids" makes me think of south park,deadass..
Why
Same lmao
