This is where i believe the whole idea of what TREES got us to. Being there in the FOREST ...of our thoughts ..our feelings ..and then having our voice to take control of both. Screaming out all the pain and fighting through it. Being there in the midst of treea is also so peaceful and knowing its ok ..to not be ok.😢 BTW: Screamed this at the T∅P of my lungs at the live show when he hit this on the piano medley ..was so fun.😅
I think the song can be interpreted as we have all learned to kill our childhood dreams/imagination with our poisonous thoughts. We have become complacent in our lives because of fear of the future. Tyler implores us to be hopeful and to remember who we are/supposed to be. We need to keep our creativity alive in order to maintain our mental health
Thanks D.Rich! Always love your twenty one pilots reactions. Like all tøp songs, each time you listen you find something new about it you love and they just continue to grow on you. I remember my first listen to Clancy and some songs hit me right away others have grown on me with each listen. Now i absolutely love them all .. looking forward to more regional at best, it’s a special album ❤
Every time someone does the ice cream thing …. Me ‘coz we’re terrified’ ..them 👀 😅 Loved your take on this… forest is just a great cathartic song…. And yes I have just gone for a walk through the forest listening & singing out loud to this!
Welcome back, you were missed!!!!! Yay for another tøp reaction. I am going through major concert withdraw too. It was just sooo good. Hoping they announce a second leg in the US.
i feel like there's something to be said for "sing a chorus/one that everybody knows....singing songs that nobody wrote." if you think of "i scream you, you scream, we all scream for ice cream" you probably can't remember where you first heard it, who wrote it, or why you even know it. though it seems like the records are a million years apart, RAB was written 2010-2011, and tyler began writing blurryface in january 2013, and he pulls the same trick where he takes a phrase we all know and spins it into something unfamiliar. "the few the proud the emotional" is a play on "the few the proud the marines" (or at least a very specific identicalness that tyler chose to ignore??) in a song about being cool and disaffected. few proud emotional is a contrast to the picture of stoicism "the few the proud the marines" is supposed to give you. i don't know what tyler meant by doing this in forest, but i do think we can confidently say he spoke about singing songs that everybody knows so ubiquitously that nobody knows where they came from, and then uses a phrase that meets that description but turns it on its head.
glad to see you back! and reacting to forest of all songs! this song means so much to me and i bet many others. i literally listened to it to fall asleep last night lol !
Years later, I still think fondly back at my own TØP concert experience, nothing else like it. And Forest live was amazing. "Does it bother you that someone else has your name" has also been kind of funny to me because if anything, it bothered me a bit when I was younger with how very few have my name. I have never met anyone, and I don't know anyone who has met or knows of someone with my name that is not me. So this song has kinda gained its own meaning to me even if it has little to do with the rest of the lyrics.
Yayy!! Regional at best has some bangers its unfortunate that its unreleased. On another note have you listened to tyler the creator new album Chromakopia its good! Anyways love the reactions🔥
Glad you're back! Loved this reaction, but are you going to get back to MTV unplugged? 😢 Also can you do a live version of Forest? Live at Newport Music Hall is a great pick. Would love for you to do the rest of RAB, except for the songs from Vessel that overlap. 💕
For me Forest is about how artist should burn everything inside and around him to give people real emotion distanted from the artist personality for some more transcendental meaning.
The RAB songs that got carried over to Vessel aren't much different imo. Much lower production value, I'd skip those personally. I know that sounds like blasphemy but you've already heard far better versions of them all.
@@hannahwade4531 Right, I find it odd and kinda funny how I just cannot stand certain aspects about most from the vessel bunch, but all the RAB exclusives are incredible.
FOREST saved me so often when I had a bad day at work. Blasting it in my car on my way home and screaming the lyrics is therapeutic
hearing this one whipped out live was something i dont think i ever couldve prepared myself for
Right?? I nearly fainted 😂

This song does the same to me as Bandito. It gives me chills and I feel it deep in the chest.

gotta do Drown...Tyler when he was 17...
"We stay in place cause we dont wanna loose out lives" fight flight or freeze he froze but "lets think of something better" fight it

I love regional at best so much! Forest was the first song I heard from them.

THIS! And the songs that are only on RAB are fireeeee
