@@LawrenceBarkley upsss 😶
Thanks for this
"You asked for this" is also about her baby, she has been trying to be a mom for years and now she has to be a "big girl". She talked about it on the Zane Lowe interview, and what being a mom means in terms of things that socially she feels like she can't or shouldn't do anymore. 😘
Yes
Zane does the best celebrity interviews because he genuinely loves music and the artistry and the artist.
Yes
the lighthouse stans rise🧘♀️
that song is fucking deep- like i love it sm because i never thought it would have a meaning like that after really analyzing the lyrics for my self lmfao 😭
i’m ascending
When her first ep dropped, I literally said to my friend “she’s going to be huge and yet severely underrated”.
This sums her up perfectly
It's so fucking weird that she's mainstream, but also not in a way. A lot of people have a lot prejudices about her, and let the small things like that video of her singing in a mall or her tumblr era from giving her a chance. like its been years from that, she grew up, learned new things, she's is different person now,.. It really makes me sad that she probably wont ever reach ariana grande, or taylor swift level of mainstream
@@flvvrboy I completely understand and agree with u but is it bad that I kinda don’t want her to reach Taylor Swift or Ariana Grande status? I’d be lying if I said I wouldn’t want her to stick to being our little secret? 😅
Finally someone who appreciates the lighthouse!
Yassss pure gold
You and Reacts By Ash are the two channels I was waiting patiently for IICHLIWP reactions from!!!! So happy they’ve finally arrived and I can get all hyped up all over again!
Me tooooo! I kept refreshing multiple times a day hoping for both 😂
So trueee!!! I love both of them
Same.. still hoping for ajayll to comeback tho..
Amen!
Ah yes ash jfebekdn i love her, she's so funny
Ya'aburnee is actually a term used in Arabic, which means "you bury me." It's often used to tell another that they hope to die first, as living without the other person would be too much to bear.
I've wanted an album like this from Halsey ever since she released Nightmare, Experiment On Me and her collab with MGK and she delivered
They wrote Honey by accident when they showed their brother how they write songs. But the song turned out to be so good that they decided to add it to the album.
i can't believe i have to say this but,,, she outdid herself and this album is better than manic
This album is great but I can’t really say this is better because the sound and style of both albums are so different that it feels unfair to say one is better.
@@MaddyPerez128 I completely agree. I will say that her vocal range is so much better in this album, I think it’s because she really challenged herself. Don’t get me wrong I love Manic, all her albums are amazing but this one hits different
u cant really compare this and manic coz they are both totally different albums. i would say badlands is more compareable and IICHLIWP is definitely better
as a wlw, I was so excited we got Honey. One of my favorites on the album.
the evanescence influence in 1121 is crazy! gives me chills..
Right! That’s what I thought too. I just wish more of the album was like that.
Bells in Santa Fe is my favorite. This album is a masterpiece.
Hahaha ok so here are some of the meanings:
- You asked for this: she's talking about life as a mom. She asked to be a mom, she asked for a family, and she LOVES her family, but is terrified of the life ahead. They are going to miss the times where they didn't have to care for someone else. They are scared about the responsibility of having a family.
- Darling is a love song about her son.
- 1121 (November 21st) is the day that she found out she was pregnant. So yes, a love song to their child.
- honey is a sexual song about "a wild girl"
- Ya'aburnee is a song for both her boyfriend (Alev) and her son. So it's a love song for her family, talking about how she loves them both so much that she cannot fathom the idea of living without them.
Yess 😊
Regarding Honey, Halsey said it's about a "wild girl".
I really recommend checking their twitter, they answered a few questions regarding some tracks :)
Also "You Asked for this" can be about success, but it's rather about her pregnancy and the expectations that followed with this. Like her being a parent was everything they asked for, but it's still scary AF, but she isn't allowed to complain.
However, thank you so much again for doing this detailed review! It's truly a masterpiece
This album screams empowerment. Each song is leading you somewhere.
so happy you reacted this! it’s halsey’s best album and the album of the year. it’s absolutely incredible.
I love how unsettling and haunting so many moments of this record are. I highly recommend the two interviews on Halsey’s channel. They’ll give so much insight to the lyrics and creative process!
Honestly this album is gonna take me several listens to understand what she’s really saying. You’re right. She. Is. Such. A. Poet.
Halsey stated that Honey is about a wild girl lmao, but darling is about her baby.
What so” you on my thighs “ is about her foetus
@@AnonymousAnonymous-ny7lh huh😂
Just wanted to let you know that Dave Grohl is on the drums for Honey. Fucking amazing.
"Ya'aburnee" as a closing song is meant to be an ode to their child, saying they hope they pass before Ender does. Since Ender is a boy, Halsey uses the masculine form of the phrase instead of the feminine. They sing the lyrics "you will bury me / before I bury you."
pretty sure it's also about their new boyfriend
Its about her partner, Alev,,,, Ender's song is Darling
1121 supremacy. This song hits my soul so deeply, I can't even express how much she means to me right now.
Darling is a lullaby to their baby son Ender.
1121 was the date Halsey found out she was pregnant.
Honey came about after her younger brother wanted to know about her writing process and she ended up writing Honey and hours later with her manager they realised it was a banger so they added it to the album. She talked about it during the instagram live on release day.
We dont know the gender of the baby
@@schuyler6476 i just found this channel two years later but h calls ender their son. she always has
1121 is really my favourite song!!! It really blew me away. Also, Whispers...... my goodness. I love this album. I've listened to it everyday since it dropped.
Been listening to 1121 all day today!
@@Az-iq1lz it's soooo good!
I’m so glad you love The Lighthouse because I’m OBSESSED with it and I haven’t seen anyone else enjoy it - thanks for the new recommendations in that vibe
Try listening to "Bells In Santa Fe" again thinking about this: The song is about a baby she lost a few years ago, the lyrics represent the baby singing to her from inside her belly: "don't call me by my name, all of this is temporary". And maybe the production makes you think that something is going to happen and it never does so it does represent how the birth never happened (that's me assuming, even though the lyrics are truly about this)
Honey sounds to me like a song about a past relationship that wasn't necessarily good for her or healthy, but despite the walking disaster of it all it was fantastic in it's own way.
this album is reallyyyy good, I hope it gets the recognition it deserves
As per her latest interview with Trent and Atticus, she really want to be a rockstar as Nightmare came out. She is fulfilling her original dream. Her grit she has since day one is a heavenly one!❤️ Thank you for the awesome review.❤️
Easier Than Lying, for me that song is about battered wives, hence, the beat is a like a fast heartbeat which means scared and it is also noticeable before the 2nd chorus. Lyrically is also obvious too.
The feeling of build up and then lack of drop in Bells in Santa Fe gives me anxiety when I listen to it. It’s still a no skip for me because it’s a good song, but yeah, anxiety.
It is classic Trent Reznor. So much of his music is full of tension without "release" or "release" in not quite the way you wanted it. It's not for everyone, but I am so nuts for that style.
Lindsey Buckingham from Fleetwood Mac is playing the acoustic guitar on Darling 🥺 and Dave Grohl plays drums on honey
i really love this album, the art is perfect
your reaction to Easier Than Lying is a giant mood 🔥😂 exactly the same reaction i had, air drums n all
With Reznor and Ross supporting such a weighty artistic vision, Halsey takes a huge leap forward with this course-changing opus, a revelation that finally presents their most authentic representation of self.
YOOOO THIS IS DEF THE BEST HALSEY ERA
IN MY OPINION:
1. IF I CANT HAVE LOVE I WANT POWER
2. BADLANDS
3. MANIC
4. HFK
They said the album title is kind of ironic/sarcastic because by the end of the album she does end up finding love
All of her songs are fire🔥 She's literally an icon🥰😭
I was hoping that I would hear the same Halsey that wrote Haunting. I was right there in the pit with NIN in the nineties, and all through High School. Fast forward thirty years and here you have my daughter's favorite artist working with Reznor. Awesome.
I’m so happy that you finally did this reaction. I’ve been waiting to see your reaction to her insane album that she did with Nine Inch Nails; Atticus Ross and Trent. Thank you love your videos.
I'm pretty sure Whispers is mainly about her bipolar disorder or just mental illness in general, it wouldn't be the first time they talk about it on their songs
Having anxiety, I definitely felt it that way. The anxiety that the song carries and also the nice jab at the abandonment daddy issues. It’s my favorite strictly on how it punched me 😂😂
Love how every song can be heard from a different perspective. Some hear her singing about heartbreak and emptiness and others can hear her sing about the heartships of being a mom and miscarrying etc..
Dave Grohl on Drums and Lindsey Buckingham on guitar for Darling. Gotta love that TR respect.
This album is insane🖤🏰🤘🏻
I have not been able to stop listening to this album. Seriously when I think I can’t love it anymore, I listen again and I do 😭
I’m so glad you love 1121. My absolute favorite.
This album is a Masterpiece! I am obsessed!
my top 5 are
#1 1121
#2 honey
#3 you asked for this now
#4 easier than lying
#5 the tradition
TASTE✨
And Whispers...
This is the best album of this year and that’s all I gotta say in this album I love that you got out of copyright Ashley and Caitlin still can’t get their videos up yet
I want to watch their reactions so bad!!!! :(
I really think what carries this album is the melodies like they are ao infectious it wouldnt matter what the production is. But the production does make the melodies sound even better!!
honey is such a good song imo
I agree with a lot of interpretations but Honey is absolutely about her hooking up with a woman
Yessss I’m so hype right now this album is LIT where is her Grammy give it to her NOWWWWW
I think what I love the absolute most about the album is that this is Halsey's emergence into motherhood, but if you didn't know it, you'd never guess in most of the songs. Out of all of their albums, this is by far my favorite. I genuinely can't wait until the movie is out on HBO Max.
"Punk rock Halsey goes full-mommy in the best way" should be on the album cover.
Lol i love when you said the lyrics to 1121 would be your myspace quote. Same!
This album is awesome and it is fun to see all the Halsey fans who have no idea what Nine Inch Nails sounds like be super excited over the album. Although they wont find every song to be like this, plenty are far more crunchy on guitar and more angry and the vocals are more screamy at times, but you can still be rewarded, trust me. Me, I like both, so this was an amazing convergence.
Steven - are you going to react to Dom's new single Fleabag? Both the song and the video are SICK.
This album is such a masterpiece
Is there any way to give this video multiple likes? I LOVED this from start to finish (both the album and Steve's reaction ) excellent just excellent
Steven!!! Sorry for my english cause im from Russia🇷🇺 I love your reactions and your personality soooooo much you cant even imagine! Its so fantastic how you live through every song and your feelings are super close to mine
thank you for all of your reactions! love you!
keep going ❤️
Album of the year along side w When Facing The Things We Turned Away From.
Piece of art.
the lighthouse is a movie starring robert pattinson and willem dafoe (in fact, the lyrics of the lighthouse slightly reminded me of this movie)
best songs on the album lilith , bells in santa fe
Not honey being the most sexually explicit song on the album and you thinking it's about their baby omg
that killed me
right💀💀
Off topic, but super appreciate the dedication to the 50/50 split you gave their pronouns, I always see people just defaulting to "her" for her, so it's nice to hear some "them"s!
omg finally!!! I've been waiting for this❤️
I wasn't ready for this album, omg
So happy you've reacted to this album!!😁
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS OMG
You have such a wonderful
critiques for H songs and their meanings. 1121 is my favorite song on the album from the get-go. I appreciated the different songs after listening to them over and over agin!
I love this album so much I’ve just been watching reacts just to listen to it and watch other people fall in love with it too
Was just looking for some reactions to this when I got your notification! Perfect timing ❤
it’s finally available 😍
I'm obsessed with this album. I feel the songs can be read in many levels and she's not just addressing one person or situation. It's more diverse than that: it's her, it's a lover, it's the child she is carrying, it's her past, it's her future, it's her present, it's political, it's documenting the life of a woman in our time and yet putting it in context with historical and cultural point of view. It's poetic and complex and open to interpretation and that's the beauty of it. A bundle of everything racing through her mind as she is preparing for a new stage in her life and trying to shed parts of herself away so those things don't affect her when she becomes a mother to her incredibly wanted child. In an interview she said she felt terrified while pregnant, not just that it wouldn't go well due to her fertility issues but because of the responsibility that comes with becoming a parent, she felt she needed to do speed-therapy on herself and rush and "vomit" all the angst out of her system before the baby would arrive and start a new chapter. So I think she changes perspectives in many of the songs, starting from one and then moving on to the next, there's many points of reference inside one song which is why the lyrics at times surprise you because you've already decided this is that type of song and then comes in a line that has the ability to change the narrative entirely. It's lyrically captivating and well-crafted album and the production is genius.
it’s back!
17:45 I love hearing u pick up on all the things that she said for this album's promo 😁
This album is such a masterpiece. I've been a fan of Halsey since Room 93 and I GEEKED out when I first heard this album. It's so fun to watch other people geek out hearing it too
I always get so excited for an album to come out and then watch your reviews! Thanks so much.
Darling, 1121, Ya'burnee are for her son♥️
Been a fan since my daughter introduced them to me on the way to an Owl City concert. The first song I heard from them was Control. I related to that on such a visceral level!
Yes! Both you & Reacts by Ash FINALLY POSTED REACTIONS!!! 🥰🥰🥰
your hair be SHINING omg we love to see ittt
1121 is an Angelic number and at the same time the date when she figured that she is pregnant :)
@Halsey Porter ✨ somebody should be.
@Halsey Porter ✨ 🖤💀
HAHAHA HONEY IS ABOUT SOME WILD GIRL SHE KNEW AND HAD A THING WITH
I was able to see the film when it came out two weeks ago and then listen to the album - having the visuals flashing through my mind on the songs was a help.
I love every song on this album, it’s so perfect
I wish I could enter, but I have limited my social media 😕 I still loved the reaction Stephen! I agree with you absolutely, we have the same taste. 1121 was awe inspiring. This album had some life changing sonic moments and if this doesn't win a Grammy, I'M SUING! 😂
you should check her apple music interview with zane lowe, it's really good!
SO GOOD!!!!
Finally! Your reaction is up! Thanks!
You have amazing hair, Steven.
Halsey needs to create another alter ego that only focuses on dark rock gothic punk grunge metal music, and she should call her Helyas! Lol (at least it's still an anagram for Ashley)
*im here after the release of THE END
Dude, spot on with the Lighthouse similarity suggestions. Btw, dig the Carcass T.
OMG i was so excited for your reaction to this. THANK U!
so excited for this!!! also thank you so much for the opportunity of the giveaway! I literally made a twitter account this morning to enter haha
i'm from Belgium so thank you so much for the chance!! ✨
From my point of view Whispers seems a song about the impostor's syndrome and the need for love and attention, and how our desire to feed ego comes from like childhood trauma. It's very difficult to interpret, but it's definitely an interesting track!
1121 gives me such Linkin Park vibes, ugh love it. Such an amazing album.
Great reaction man! Been waiting for your video! This is such a good album! Just to clear your confusion, she stated in her apple music interview and her tweets, some of the songs were written for her baby and her partner 😁
Call me crazy but I also hear Avril Lavigne, t.A.T.u and Evanescence in some of the tracks
