that "ill know, ill know" is so haunting. it speaks to a pain in my heart I'm not sure how to articulate. it's bittersweet and I can't stop listening to it, no matter how hard it makes me want to cry
This is exactly how I feel, I listened to this song for 2 and a half hours yesterday
exactly
No literally.
Noooo because i thought I was the only one who thought so
this is EXACTLY how it makes me feel 💀
poor ronnie, im glad she escaped
who is ronnie? can you explain whats happening?
@@howlsmovingcastlelover69 ronnie is who this song is about. her ex husband trapped her in his house, adopting kids as a christmas gift. you can research the tortures she had trapped in the house and being forbidden to preform again, but needless to say it was insane
@@ran6643 is ronnie a character
@@oliviamalfoy6359 no, she’s a real person - look up Ronnie Spector and “Ronnie Spector abuse”
@@oliviamalfoy6359 she was the lead singer of a girl group called the Ronettes! She's a real person not a character
The song tells the story of a woman who was held captive by her husband, with no way out. To make her stay, he went as far as adopting twins as a gift for her. It's a haunting tale of the lengths some people will go to keep control over others, even at the cost of their happiness and freedom. The song captures the woman's pain and longing for a life she knows she deserves but feels powerless to attain. It's a powerful reminder of the importance of recognizing and breaking free from abusive relationships.
Yeah, it is a real story. The two are the album cover, their names are Phil and Ronnie Spector.
im so glad i brokeup from my toxic relationship
yea, the song is probably called christmas kids because phil (the husband) gave those twins to ronnie (the wife) as a christmas present
And yet the songs still a banger.
That is Ronnie spector
this song actually gives me chills especially after learning the history behind it ,,
What's the history behind it?
@@mr.penguin1480 it’s about a women who was pretty much help captive by her husband and he adopted twins as a gift for her to make her stay. Her name was ronnie something I forgot lol it started with an s tho

After hearing this on tik tok I really loved the chorus but now actually understanding the meaning of the lyrics and hearing the rest of the song, it’s fucking heartbreaking. She didn’t deserve that, poor thing. I’m glad she lived her life to the fullest but it sucks this happened to her

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 art of this song ☹️.
this should be the top comment, Ronnie spector was an amazing woman everyone should know her story
Heartbreaking omg
I love you thank you for being that person. You’re appreciated!
Thanks a lot for your effort! Sending love ❤

This song hits so hard that even Lorax is not leaving

Do what you want as long as you stay here
I need you now, I love you so much, more than you could know
The Christmas kids were nothing but a gift
And love is a tower where all of us can live
You'll change your name, or change your mind
And leave this fucked up place behind
But I'll know, I'll know
I'll know, I'll know
I'll know, I'll know

If you ever try to leave me, I'll find you, Ronnie
If you ever try to leave me, I'll find you, Ronnie
I'm leaving, Phil, I'm leaving now
I'm going to escape, but you won't know how
Or where to find me when I'm gone
I'll drink myself to death insi-i-i-i-i-i-ide this prison cell, thi-is prison cell
So, get me out of here
Get me out of here
Get me out of here

it's so terrible once you actually listen to the lyrics, and see what she really went through. its heartbreaking.
I honestly didn't know the lyrics but this is actually just shocking that this happened in real life.
Gotta love the watery vocals. Best way I can describe em

So glad I own the vinyl for this album, great that more people are seeing more of roars music. Owen Evans is great
You should read the backstory, he was not a great guy at all.
Are you confusing him with the dude who trapped Ronnie in the basement?
@@BigOlEmery No what? Lol, Owen Evans is the singer for ROAR, I wasn't talking about Phil
@@KazuiKurosaki what did he do?
Owen Evans made this song based off of the Phil Spector and Ronnie spector case.
The meaning of the song: The story is about phil and Ronnie Spector, (her being mentioned in the song, also an 60s pop-star,) to cut it short, Phil was abusive to Ronnie, and often threatened her to death if she ever tried to leave him. The lyrics said “You can change your name or change your mind” Because she couldn’t change her name, because everyone knew her as Ronnie. The song is called “Christmas Kids” because Phil Spector adopted 3 children as a Christmas “Gift” and left in 1 bucket to act as a toilet for the kids. He got the kids so he could make Ronnie emotionally attached to them so she wouldn’t leave. He also threatened Ronnie Spector with a gold coffin that he would display her corpse in. He also took her shoe’s so she couldn’t escape that easy. She luckily escaped threw a broken window. Veronica Yvette Bennett. (Her full name) 1943-2022.
daaaamn that's fucked up
it was a glass casket and there was only 2 kids. They birthed the 3rd one i believe
I liked this song until my sister told me the backstory behind this song . Now this gives me the chills😢
yeah, listening to the song right after seeing the comment on this video talking about the meaning behind it saddens me a lot
@@V0IDFANGZ same
I feel sad for her but I still love the song
the dark lyrics aside, this bassline is so addicting 🤩
the meaning is so haunting..i love this song way too much 😭
the bass is incredible
This song feels so nostalgic and sad
Literally one of my fav songs on my playlist on Spotify

are you slow
@@stanmarsh11111 waht
@@stanmarsh11111 How am I slow for saying this track from the album is underrated?
This song reminds me of my old abusive work place. How all of us became so close because we had to protect each other from management. How fucking manipulative management was. My old boss used to tell me that the grass isn’t greener on the other side. It was his way of saying it doesn’t get better than this job. I was 16 when I started working their and I opened the restaurant with them. I was their first hire. I worked my way from every position in the place. By the time I was 18 I was a bartender. I regret staying as long as I did. It left me so damaged by the end. Everyone I cared about slowly but surely left and I stopped having reasons to stay. I was left in charge of the bar by the end of my employment because we didn’t have a manager for it and all the other bartenders left or where fired. I trained all the new bartenders, I wrote the bar books, I bought the equipment, I trained the new management on how to do stock of the bottles on my last day, I also did inventory. I never complained about the extra work. I took pride in what I did. I cared so much. I never got payed for any of the extra shit I did either and I never asked for more pay. My wake up call was when my manager told me that “ You can’t say this restaurant hasn’t done more for you than you’ve done for it.” I walked out that day without doing my two weeks. I said my goodbyes to the bar staff and the kitchen manager (the only good manager we had) and I told the new manager to not let those fuckers turn her into a monster like them. I still have so much baggage from that experience. This song just captures the manipulation and feelings I had during this time so well.
when i first heard this song i thought it was just a love song with a hint of darkness, but upon learning the story behind it, holy fuck was i wrong 💀💀💀
love song 💀 yikes
@@GrinkMode more like abusive jerkface hate song
"Never judge a book by it's cover" is so relevant for this.
"If you ever try to leave me, ill find you, ronnie." That gives me chills, if you know the backstory..
“I’ll know, I’ll know” hits hard when you know what the song is about
“Appearing unsightly” even roar thinks Phil is ugly
I heard "I'm tearing up slightly"
every time i listen to it it makes me cry instantly. i don’t think it’s the meaning of it but the vibe of it is just so emotive
cool
The meaning is about Ronnie and Phil Spector, Phil was an abusive husband that held her captive and even adopted two kids as a gift to make her stay
Even without knowing the meaning, the vibe of this strong always felt self-destructive and melancholic. I think they captured a horrible relationship well
A lot of people like this song for the chorus, but im super addicted to the first verse for some reason
Me too
Same
im addicted to all of it-
That “ if you ever try to leave, I will find you Ronnie.” Is so haunting

Wow so sad
Now knowing the truth of what this song is about brings me chills.
The beat:🤩😀👍 The back story:👹☠️😔☹️🤒
After all this time. hearing this song all day, thinking it was about Christmas kids getting out off a town. but it was actually based on a sad sick story about Ronnie. It gives me chills
I'll never be the same listening to this song after hearing the lore
Same! I used to sing this song with my chest but now I feel like I shouldn’t after learning the story behind it
Same
I hope you’re living a happy healthy life. We love you Ronnie. We will never forget you.❤
RIP Ronnie, I'm glad she was able to escape and live her best life.
''If you ever try to leave me, i'll find you, Ronnie.''
''I'm leaving Phil, i'm leaving now.
I'm going to escape and you won't know how.

The really eerie part of the song that always gets me is "If you ever try to leave me, I'll find you, Ronnie"

This songs and the other songs from Roar in general give me such, such a strong sense of nostalgia and regret everytime i hear them. Especially this one. My brain just associates every song from Roar with something i regret or a past experience, that just succeeds in haunting me and leaving me sleepless. This, personally is a song i associate with both something from the past, but from the future too. It reminds me firstly of Luz Noceda and her story in the owl house, reminds me of all the friends i had no trouble making but so much trouble keeping. It reminds me of the inevitable future, me finally moving out from this school and going into a better one. I wanted this and nobody seems to even think of missing me. But I'll miss them somehow. I'm not sure if this choice was a good one anymore. Sorry for the long comment but i just had to write this somewhere.
JESUS
This song hits different when you literally lived thru a DV relationship and my ex would actually say he would unalive me if I ever tried leaving him
oh god, are you in a better place now and did you heal from that?
I’m sorry you had to go through that, I hope you’re okay now
Is this referencing you or Ronnie Spector?
@@SaunteringMellows they're referencing theyre self and maybe ronnie?? high chance of just being kate
@@shadooooooostayss Shit mb, I didn't read the wording correctly.
''the fcking lorax grabbing his ass and flying away''

GUYS ,GUYS! I FINALLY LISTENED TO THE SONG WITH OUT TEARING UP OR CRYING

Imagine.. he died though a couple years ago. I hope he rots in hell.
Ronnie didn't deserve this... And that "get me out of here" hits hard
*The lorax leaving*
song makes me cry. both the vocals and the meaning behind the song just makes me cry
this song is just perfect. it itches my brain the right way but knowing the backstory of it is so sad at the same song. im glad people are listening to roars music and making it popular
The freacking Lorax pinching his back and fying away...
it really shows how poor ronnie is and how phil was so abusive yet so caring its so sad😢
Damn this song's backstory hits so hard that the Lorax grabbed his ass and ascended to heaven

i can feel you man

"If you ever try to leave me i'll find you...Ronnie."

this song makes me want to wail
like, let out some primal sounds of absolute despair and sadness
im going through an awful episode right now and i just want to stop crying but i can’t and it’s so painful.
i hurt so much.
when ever you can, let yourself cry. stuffing those emotions in will make the pain worse. it will end one day, and this song will be a distant memory. it will be okay, i believe in you.

bro just listened to this with my mom and she usually likes this type of music but she actually listened to the lyrics and now she’s getting a therapist for me
Obviously cap but still funny
The part where teh song went "the Christmas kids were nothing but a gift" reminds me of Nostalgic minecraft youtubers and voice actors of some of the minecraft game like minecraft story mode.

"If you ever try to leave me I'll find you ronnie" makes me feel some stuff ☹️☹️
I heard this song and wondered the backstory to it and what its meaning is but seeing comments I can see what it's about, and it makes sense. I feel kinda sad seeing how it's based upon a real thing.
It hits me like a belt,
Makes me sad for a reason cause life is pretty much just sad, if you think about it just like this good and banger music.

This song reminds me of the toxic relationship I have with my mother, no matter how much I try to get away from her or distance myself she always manages to break me all over again. I cut my hair to make her angry out of spite, I changed my identity, but I still cant escape her.
im so sorry i hope youre doing better now...
do you live away from her ????
@@alinavonschweetz3065 no, I still live with her because I'm not old enough to move out yet

Funny thing. I was obsessed with this song when I had a crush on my soon to be abusive boyfriend. And was still obsessed when we were together,, little did I realize and less likely to be excited about was that this song was almost like speaking my future. Kinda funny but at the same time, this song exactly describes how horrible it felt to be with him. Yet again this an amazing and well written song
Thanks for your private info
Other people: writing long paragraphs about the meaning of the song

Thank god ronnie escaped😢
One minutes you are vibing to the vibes. Now you are having an existential crisis
Although i don't pay attention to the lyrics and the rythm it's kind of happy, it makes me want to cry everytime i listen to it
This song is what I felt like when I was told that I would pretty much be separated from my friends, since I belonged in a different school.
Hope things r going good, gotta be one of the toughest things to go thru
the fact that this song was used for edits of the lorax and south park cracks me up 💀
Yea fr. They dont even know the backstory and basically ruined the song. Most people will just think its "ohh haha funny south park lorax!" Its not .
I LOVE THIS SONG SM
♡♡
This song as some might know is about Ronnie Spector(Her and her ex husband are on the album cover btw!), now i've always loved her music, with the Ronettes and her solo stuff that had failed. i also got her memoir, the song is basically about the time she met Phil Spector, her record producer who she had an affair with and married because "Either you tour with the beatles or you marry me", she was so much in love with him, so of course she married, so the ronettes had to get someone else to go on the tour.
While Ronnie married Spector, over the years he was losing his sanity, he kept her away from her sister Estelle a lot and her cousin Nedra, he threatend her with a gun, he threatend the beatles with a gun, he shot in the studio from what i heard, and he kept her captive in his mansion, surrounded with barbed wire and guard dogs and FORBIDDING her to perform ever again and sabotaged her career, he was extremely abusive, yelled at her for days for even asking "Hey Phil wanna go back to the studio?". Phil had said he would put her in a golden glass coffin if she ever attemped to escape him, as for the title "Christmas kids", it refrences the fact Phil had surprised her with 2 kids for christmas, which i believe was to force her to stay with him even more. Ronnie was only able to leave the house by having A LIFE SIZED DOLL of Phil. she even attended alcoholics anonymous just to get out of that house.
The abuse had gone on for years until she made her escape with her being able to call her mother, barefoot and no belongings, just running to survive. 1972 was her escape. However it wasn't over. Ronnie had a long legal battle because in the 60's she NEVER gained royalties from spector.
She had won later on and then she would try living her life, which was a massive struggle, she was alone, her sister Estelle from the Ronettes was schizo, a homeless drug addict, her cousin Nedra was a born again christian and wasn't much around Ronnie i'm sure, She was friends with big names, yet she never was able to regain her fame she once had no matter what she did, her alcohol and smoking had also worn out her voice over the years just to find distractions to get rid of the trauma even after remarrying with Jonathan Greenfield(her present time husband) and having children of her own. Meanwhile her sister lived homeless, drug addict and a schizophrenic.
Estelle passed away in 2009 from cancer and Ronnie passed away from cancer in 2022, they both were close sisters yet so far apart after the split up from the ronettes and their life issues. Nedra Talley Ross is the last living member of The Ronettes. I will never forget that day personally because she was stunning, she even talked with me once and saying "Your mother raised you right", never forgetting that, she was an angel.
Ironically, this song utilizes Phil Spector’s wall of sound. Which is why it has an early 60’s beach boys/Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons sort of feel. Also kind of sounds a bit like “Be my Baby” by the Ronnettes, which fits the subject.
god the south park edits to this song make me wanna cry
Songs like this make me cry to sleep
minha msc fvrta e eu sei q o antigo eu jamais vai me esquecer...
i fricking love this song guys
"If you ever try to leave me ill find you, ronnie.
If you ever try to leave me ill find you ronnie. " this line right here left me quiet...
For people who are lost this song is ahout an abusive relationship about music producer phil spector and ronnie frome the ronnets phill threated to end her if she ever left him and he threatend her with many physical tourture and by christmas kids hes talking about when he adopted kids on Christmas for her but he abused his kids too she left him and he later went to jail for murder (thats whole diffrent story) but people shouldn't remember her from her sad past they should remember her by her being an amazing music maker and also she says she misses the days her and phill made music together (meaning phill still has a spot in her heart)
