+Sabin Bik that's because the original song is /supposed/ to be sad. you can tell by the lyrics. imo this version does them justice moreso than the original studio version.
for everyone wondering, "stripped" basically means it's a toned down, moodier version of the original. instead of a sub 128bpm house track it's basically just piano and airy synths with minimal percussive efforts to better emphasize the vocals. should also note that the chord change is f# to g# to a#m throughout whereas the original focuses more on beginning the verses with the a#m and transitioning to g# and then f#; reversing the chord progression seemed to aim the song to create a different listening anticipation and a more morose phrase resolution
I love the stripped audio but I love the line in the original "You were red, and you liked me because I was blue. Then you touched me and suddenly I was a lilac sky; then you decided purple just wasn't for you.."
The normal studio version sounds like her admitting a relationship isn't the best, but she's willing to try. The live version sounds like she's remembering what's left of him in a dream. This version sounds like she's mourning the potential.
This version feels like the moment when you see someone you use to love and both of you freeze, staring into each other's eyes. It seems as though time has stopped completely and you can see the moments you shared playing in the space between you, but you know that it'll never happen again. It's lovely and sad and beautiful all at once.
The original was something you could dance to at a party and take no notice of the lyrics. The stripped version is something you listen to whilst sitting on your own, lonely and trying to figure out what went wrong. The original has beat. The stripped has soul. The same song, different versions, different feelings.
Yeah. Beautifully composed, well thought out music that makes you appreciate the beauty of this art form, and emotional lyrics that ram into your tired soul and tear it to pieces really can affect a person's emotions, heart, mind, and soul, and even body, in an undescribable way. It can change you and make you cry both out of compassion for what the singer or lyrical character must be going through and out of pure joy that something this complex, beautiful, and artful exists. At least that's how I feel about this kind of music. I just want to close my eyes and soak in it's depths and just be present with the moment and what I have in life. This feeling then carries on throughout most of the day, even if something negative happens. I've even cried to instrumental songs before and had the same feeling.
it's not happy at all. it's about (likely matty healy's) drug addiction. it's loud but it's not positive or anything. Edit: This comment is literally 3 years old lmao I'm sorry ignore me.
+Miraculous Ladybug Fanfiction , I friggin know right? P.s. I love your vids. Im making an mlb fanfic on this song, would you wanna check it out when Im done? :))
This song has always spoken a lot to me and since everyone is posting their interpretation I thought I'd go ahead and post mine. I feel this song is about being with someone that has depression, sung from the perspective of their partner. You are able to hear the sadness, "everything is blue his pills, his hands, his jeans." You're able to hear the despair, "everything is gray, his hair, his smoke, his dreams" You're watching the person you're in love with lose themselves and there isn't anything you can do to save them.
If I close my eyes while listening I can see the universe. This song is trascendent in a way that’s not describable. It feels like I’m floating in an ocean of stars and it’s beautiful.
this song somehow captures the frustration and longing of having the one you love fall apart right in front of you. its sad and it hurts but there's a happiness about being with them despite it all
do you know those songs that feels like it's feeding your soul and your chest feels physically light when you're listening to it? this is one of those songs.
I feel as if this song just brushed against my inner soul Those deep, quiet, peaceful, but a bit sad, parts where my mind hardly goes to Those parts when you're just with yourself, and where nobody else can enter Where you can just think about everything and see how beautiful it is
there's something so dark and intense about this version. there's this sense of urgency and desperation in her voice, and so much emotion. i'm a sucker for emotion. i love it.♡
It feels like halseys true style is hidden behind all these layers of regurgitated pop, so it's nice to hear a stripped version. I think development will come with simplification, and that we're hearing more of halsey's real voice in this.
Wow I know, I am late, but this song… Its so bittersweet to me. And I love it. As well as how calm it is. The original was great, but this is perfections
i don't care about the storyline created in the original music video. I will always associate this song as an encouragement to anyone and everyone who feels like they're failing at life. This song comforts me in some sort of way. The color blue represents the feeling of calmness, grey represents dullness i cant explain this
ღBulma Briefsღ I was listening to this song zoning out in English, but I was restricted from my painting canvas so I kind of sat there just pissed I was there ;)
I imagine a story for this [version of the] song to go like this: this is a boy, and he looks up to his best friend with everything he has. his best friend is going through some tough times, his best friend is depressed, self harming. this is the original boy's struggle to be the light to his darkness. but, the original boy slowly starts to fall into depression. this is the second boy's song to the first to show the first that he is worth it, that it's okay and it can get better.
"Art is not what I create. What I create... Is chaos."
Every Fanfic writer/ author EVER.
As a fanfic writer I can say this true.
that's so accurate oH My gOd
So true

+Sabin Bik that's because the original song is /supposed/ to be sad. you can tell by the lyrics. imo this version does them justice moreso than the original studio version.
me too! I even cried listening to the first version cuz they're both so beautiful!😭

Thanks man, I was about to google it.
Oh thanks I’m making an edit with this song
Thanks dude was wondering what this was
I know this is a late comment but thank you for explaining. I had no idea what it meant.
Actually the chord progression is the same (iv V IV,) it's just a bit more colorful (iv7 Vsus4 IV)
it changes to IV V iv7 (what you said) at 2:58
the original makes me wanna dance,
this version makes me cry and emotional.

I sooooo wanted that line to be in this, thinking about “remixing” it so that line is in it instead
I hated that. It was cringe to me.

You can hear the passion in her voice
god, the emotion in her voice..
I feel as if this song just brushed against my inner soul
Those deep, quiet, peaceful, but a bit sad, parts where my mind hardly goes to
Those parts when you're just with yourself, and where nobody else can enter
Where you can just think about everything and see how beautiful it is
0:10 seconds in and I already have goosebumps...
I'm either very cold or this song is a *colorful masterpiece.*
is like hearing a angel singing. artists like this that should be on the number 1 on o itunes
agreed
I like it better when she sings like this, but the lyrics are terrible.
Why do you think they're terrible? I think it tells a story very well, or maybe I just visualize it better since I've lived something very similar.
It's actually about Matty Healy from The 1975
+Mariana Carolina PONZO k
Halsey should make stripped versions of all her songs. Her voice is just so beautiful
there's something so dark and intense about this version. there's this sense of urgency and desperation in her voice, and so much emotion. i'm a sucker for emotion. i love it.♡
OMFG THIS STRIPPER IS JUST BEAUTIFUL :0
Stripped*
best autocorrect ever XD
😂😂😂😂 I'm dying
😂😂😂
This should be on one of those "Try not to laugh autocorrect fails" compilation.
"I'm not crying, I just have something in my eye" Yeah it's called emotions
No, it's called eye sweat. It's excessively leaking because they've been doing a lot of exercises lately.
Lol
halsey's becoming more famous and it's giving me high blood pressure
I prefer this over the original. It speaks to my soul so much and complete love fills my heart everytime.

This is the superior version
the words are so clear in this one.
THIS IS THE BEST VERSION OF COLORS AND THE MOST UNDERRATED I AM PISSED
I imagine a story for this [version of the] song to go like this:
this is a boy, and he looks up to his best friend with everything he has. his best friend is going through some tough times, his best friend is depressed, self harming. this is the original boy's struggle to be the light to his darkness. but, the original boy slowly starts to fall into depression. this is the second boy's song to the first to show the first that he is worth it, that it's okay and it can get better.
this is beautiful and sad. better than the original. it's more sad like the song actually is.
*hears the heartbeat*
*this is gospel chill runs down my spine*
That “art is not what I create; I create chaos” hit me pretty hard.
"art is not what I create, what I create is chaos" all too relatable
