Most of us don’t care about the video, we know what it is. We are here for your reaction to music we love. And you did not disappoint my friend! Excellent reaction!!
A brief Bio for you: Tyler Joseph - singer, songwriter, keyboard, synth, programming, piano, guitar, bass, ukelele and production. Josh Dun - drums, trumpet, some backing vocals, drum engineering. They are from Columbus Ohio and are both self-taught musicians. twenty one pilots as a band was started by Tyler in 2009 and originally had 2 other members. They left the band in 2011 and Josh joined. First two albums were self-released/recorded etc and they built up a fanbase by constant touring and putting on a great show as shown in the Ode to Sleep video. They were signed to a record label in 2012 and released Vessel, in 2013, which the two songs you've now heard are from. Their breakthrough album was Blurryface in 2015. Subequent albums were Trench, Scaled and Icy and Clancy most recently in 2024. Common themes in their songs are mental health and faith, and they also incorporate an extensive 'Lore' and storytelling in their music. They are currently in the middle of a world tour, playing arenas. The fans are nicknamed 'the Clique' and we are a very loyal and dedicated bunch!
I'm a proud member of The Clique and WOW You nailed it man! For me, TØP was a lifechanging experience. They saved me ❤ These two are not only amazing artists .... they're legends!
“Sorry for pausing”… dude pause… pause to your heart’s content. I already heard this song a million times. I came here to hear your breakdown. Also to live vicariously through someone discovering TOP songs for the first time. Going down this rabbit hole is going to be fun. You’ve got my sub
Mark Eshleman (better known as Reelbearmedia) is the videographer of this (and many other videos of them) He basically started filming every show and promos of Twenty one Pilots since day one. He started doing this as their friend, and now he's their full time videographer for all sort of things they do. Mark is somehow the third pilot.
Tyler playing Uke is most prominent in the Vessel and Blurryface albums, then kind of takes a back seat for Trench and Scaled And Icy, then makes a return as a baritone Uke for the Clancy album.
Here is your list in the order 1st : Vessel album - Ode to sleep (music video) + - Car radio (music video) + - holding on to you (music video or live from the Fox theater) - guns for hands (music video) - migraine (The live room version) - trees (live from fox theater ) 2nd line : blurryface album - stressed out (music video, it’s the one that made them so popular right now) - lane boy (music video) - ride (live from Fox theater) - hometown (lyrics video) - tear in my heart (music video) - the judge (lyrics video) - fairy local (music video) - message man (lyrics video) - goner (live from fox theatre , ending of the album) - Heavydirtysoul ( music video - this one is the connection to the next album, beginning of the storyline) 3rd line : Trench album - jumpsuit ( music video , connected to hvdrtsl) - nico and the niners (music video, next one in saga) - levitate (music video, next one in saga) - chlorine (music video) - the hype (BOTH, album and Berlin session versions ) - my blood (music video) - pet cheetah (lyrics video) - morph (lyrics video, a bit of connection to storyline) - Heathens ( music video, spin off, not from any album but have a lot of small connections to story) - neon gravestones (lyrics video) - legend (lyrics video) - bandito (lyrics video,huge connection in storyline) - leave the city ( lyrics video, ending of era ) 4th line : Scaled and Icy album - Shy away (music video) - Choker (music video) - Saturday (music video) - Outside (music video) - No chances - Redecorate 5th line: Clancy album Basically you can react to every song , each of them have a music video. Here is some extra performances : - TOP x Mutemath session - stripped down storyteller session by Tyler - MTV unplugged session
Pause as much as you want. First listens of TØP require pauses and replays to take everything in. 😂 Heavy topics with upbeat instrumental is the motto of TØP. 🤣 The drummer is Josh Dun. In the words of his wife, Debby Ryan, “his job is drum.” Also Tyler told him when they first started making music together to play harder and beat the about out of his drums. Also, fun fact, Real Bear Media is their friend Mark who has documented them from the beginning and still does today. They’ve said he’s the third pilot.
5:32 “Listen, I know this one’s a contradiction because of how happy it sounds. But the lyrics are so down.” Lyrics from Not Today (Blurry Face album.) Guy you got it exactly right. And they do that with most of their music. Great catch!✌🏻
It’s so much fun to watch a musician understand the level of talent and work it takes to make music that sounds so good! Tyler is bubbling over with music, but also puts in so much work and attention to detail!
i remember popping into a stream a while ago and requesting a song off Clancy. so glad to see you get into them starting from the beginning! true musical genius these boys are
Kudos for being one of the most active reactions I've seen for TOP. I'm loving it! Welcome to the Clique! With your enthusiasm off the bat, I recommend you keep in the album Vessel and continue through their discography in release order. (There is also the first album "Twenty-One Pilots" which does not have the drummer Josh since he was not part of the band yet). I think would really enjoy their progression and evolution in sound, while picking up on their themes and the story lore which starts in Blurryface. The end of the music video can get me emotional. It's difficult to understand this song's messages upon first listen, but there is a lot of inferences that Tyler is talking to God and demons. "I swear I heard demons yelling Those crazy words they were spelling They told me I was gone, they told me I was gone But I'll tell 'em, "Why won't you let me go? Do I threaten all your plans? I'm insignificant" Please tell 'em, you have no plans for me I will set my soul on fire, what have I become? I'll tell 'em" So Tyler is telling the demons that he is insignificant, and he's can't do anything to interfere with their plans. He asks God "You don't have any plans for me, right?" Yet, at the end of this video, we have thousands of people singing his words at the top of their lungs. We know TOP's music has reached millions of people around the world, bringing hope to so many who have faced loneliness in their own struggles. He is certainly not insignificant, and the chance that the world could have existed without their music is a heartbreaking thought to consider. But the end of this video turns into a beautiful message of hope and victory over despair.
I love this so much. Something I would say is I love when reacters pause because they get to speak their mind and that's the whole reason I watch these videos. Don't worry too much about that. Keep doing awesome work.
Appreciate you working through the copyright stuff and getting this back up! Holding onto You Live at Fox Theater would be a great next reaction! The drummer is Josh Dun, he's super dynamic and high energy, they both have to be to make up for them being a 2 man band. Their live performances are special I don't know if there is uke in Ode to Sleep but they have many songs with uke, isle of flightles birds (live) and The Judge are some of my favorites. He said he wrote almost all of their latest album on the uke first.
I used to go to sleep to this album, dropping into bed after turning it on. I’d get in at ‘up, up, up to the ceiling’, and it became this marker of my bedtime ritual. It kept me positive and calm. It’s been ages since I’ve needed such a long shut down, but this was the beginning of getting control over my nighttime anxiety. Now I listen to Clancy before bed, simply for the fun of it. As you get into more TØP and hear from fans, you’ll see just how much their music means to people. Oh, and Josh Dun is the best drummer ever!
Toci! Thanks so much! I think you have delivered one of the best ever reactions to Ode To Sleep! Please keep giving us long music videos like this! I know The Skelton Clique love to hear everything you think, evey pause is appreciated. I love that you are a musician and can share your knowledge, dreams, and aspirations. I am confident you will love this journey, and will love Twenty One Pilots! Tyler and Josh are both self taught musicians. They didn't know there were rules when writing music. They just play what they want to hear. Tyler writes the lyrics and melodies, and the majority of production. Their first album under their label doesn't have Tyler in credits for production. But the producer Greg Wells later stated that Tyler brought in nearly complete songs and did ask for production credit, which he denied under advice of his agent. He admitted this was wrong. Tyler is a phenomenal talent. And so is Josh! He is an amazing drummer, and has grown so much as a musician with Tyler's encouragement. I could go on for ever. They are very inspirational, always encouraging creativity from their fans, and advising us to follow our dreams. They are still humble, and down to earth. Their live shows are amazing! Actually, they just wrapped up the US leg of their world tour for the album they released earlier this year, and I confidently assert it's their best show ever! ❤ "Anyone, from anywhere, can do anything."- Tyler Joseph, grammy award speach.
hope you keep diving into their music. Fans are named 'skeleton clique' or (the clique/clikkies) for short as tyler and josh have been wearing skeleton hoodies since early in their career to grab the audience's attention. they are great performers and a lot of their songs, like this one, deal with struggles with mental health and wrestling with their faith and beliefs.
The way you breakdown the video and also have fun with it is amazing. You are in for the craziest ride with 21p. Subbed at the Car Radio reaction itself. Can't wait to see more!!!
came to see if you posted after the last reaction and you did two minutes ago??!! can’t wait to see the future reactions.. and you need to listen to the other albums because they all sound DRASTICALLY different - you should try listening to one of their live performances… holding onto you live would be a PERFECT next reaction
don't worry about pausing, we enjoy you falling free into this rabbit hole. savor the moment dude, there's a lot of songs to react to, not to mention their lore that spans throughout the decade. Another reaction channel to enjoy, we're looking forward to you navigating through this once in a lifetime journey, man!
most oh their early sounds comes from the legacy sounds library from logic pro/garage band as he used a lot of the midi keyboard. During 2013 Tyler started to use a lot of presets from nexus 2 while live he played regular instruments. Nowadays its a mix of that and recorded instruments. Tyler its a very good producer and with Paul Meany (co-producer) make some incredible songs. One of my favourite albums its Trench, and the most recent one its Clancy. P.S. The band formed in 2009 with Tyler Joseph and two more members (Chris and Nick). Then in 2011 Chris left the band offering Josh Dun (the actual drummer) as replacement. Some months after Nick also left the band and now they are only two: Tyler and Josh. The show you saw in ode to sleep was their first show outside Ohio. Fun Fact! After remaining only two members, Tyler wrote and upload at their webpage a song called "Two" due to the insecurity of the band, because he thought they could not continue with only two
Drummers name is Josh Dun :D PS: the music video at around halfway through the song is live, being different from the song. I love the twenty one pilots content! Keep it up! :D Twenty one pilots songs I would wanna see reactions from next (I would finish vessel before going onto blurryface): Holding onto you (my favorite song of all time which is on vessel), migraine (vessel), screen (vessel), and trees (they play this song at the end of every concert they do so it’s very special to the duo, on vessel)
Bro… I love that you’re getting it… I’m enjoying watching you get excited about something I discovered my self about 8 years ago at a time I needed to find them. I just subscribed, it will be fun watching you go through this journey. Wait until you get to the concept albums…
They are masters of deep intense lyrics on top of happy go lucky instrumentals. Migraine highlights that a lot. I love that you’re starting a toward the beginning of their journey. Seems like everyone is starting with the new album and working backwards, which works too, but this way you get to experience the growth these guys have had. Buckle up, it’s a wild ride 🔥
@@RandomPerson-pl9ip what if I do both in one sitting / video to get like more in depth comparison due to them being one right after the other? Or would that be too much?
Tyler is singing live at the end but that’s only for the video, I’ve seen them live twice-I attend MANY concerts, and IMO, Twenty One Pilots is in my top three with Steve Miller Band and Rolling Stones. They use small stages and put them out in the audience, held up by the fans-huge statement of trust but their stans are like the Renegades.
If you're confused about The Basement, it's a section of a venue here in their hometown of Columbus, OH. The venue is currently called Kemba Live (name changes based on who their highest sponsor is, during the time this music video was filmed it was probably called PromoWest Pavillion or Communities Pavillion) which has 4 stages: a bar, The Basement, an indoor stage, and an outdoor stage :) I also believe the second performance in the music video is also at kemba but outside? i could be wrong on that
Good morning kind sir.. loved your reaction to car radio of theirs and ode to sleep is another masterpiece. First song off their “vessel” album which deals primarily with mental health issues(car radio is also on that album). In this music video is hard to pick up on some of the lyrics.. for lead singer Tyler who has dealt with Mental health issues, morning time is good for him, and evening time is when all the bad negative thoughts would come into play.. opening lyric is “I wake up fine and dandy”. So at night is when he’s trying to kick out all those voices, he hears in his head. And that doesn’t happen until he goes to sleep and wakes up, hence ode to sleep. If you want to learn more about the duo and their music, I would continue going down the vessel album. “Holding onto you” or “migraine” would be my choices. Can’t wait for your next reaction. Keep up the good word
You have stumbled on to the best band in the world! Every aspect of everything they do is stellar, true artistry and pure, genuine talent. Loved your reaction and def can't wait to watch you fall in love with these two geniuses! New sub here!! ❤|-/💛
If you want to stay in vessel, fake you out, trees, and migraine are amazing, but if you want to hear other albums, Johnny boy, addict with a pen, and trapdoor, are my favorites from self titled, heavydirtysoul, fairly local, and polarize from blurry face, morph, my blood, and the hype from trench, good day, the outside, and no chances, from scaled and icy, routines in the night, navigating, and ATROFD (acronym), from Clancy, level of concern is my favorite of their singles.
Ok! I've watched a couple of your reactions now and I'm down for another journey through the TOP library. I started with Joe E Sparks going from the same naive start as you, to now being a full blown clique member and lifelong fan. His background is videography and offers some great insight to their videos. I can't wait to watch your journey as a musician do the same for us with the music. Start slow, take it all in. You're going to learn a lot, and just wait until you get into the lore! Just another level on top of levels. Let's go!
The drummer is Josh Dun!!! Debby Ryan’s husband I can’t wait to watch your TOP journey! I’ve been a fan since 2015. Ode to sleep is one of my favorites
I can't say enough about these 2.. to explain anything.. you got to figure it out as you go bro. But... this 1 song is such an energy boost every time I hear it. Anywhere and at anytime it's played.. your reactions to it.. say enough for my explanations.. live this 🙌 👏 👌 ❤ 😅
Tyler did NOT play the uke on this song, the white and black scenes are from other songs, and the colour ones are from ode to sleep. The song of the footage was Screen. Some uke songs (i'll skip acoustic sessions and covers): Isle of flightless birds (LIVE!!!!) House Of Gold Screen Lane Boy (LIVE!!!!) The Judge We Don't Believe What's on TV The Hype Nico And The Niners Legend Formidable Bounce Man Next Semester (yes... they are ukes with pedals not electric guitars hahaha) The Craving (both versions) Oldies Station Paladin Strait Honorable mention: Vessel's 10th anniversary livestream Ok so Tyler is producer, singer, lyricst bassist, pianist, guitarist (thanks to Jack White he started to play the guitar because he gave them some as a gift), plays ukulele (soprano and baritone), keyboardist , and he did the studio drums before Josh came in. Josh does the drums (very fundamental part for a two piece band), and now he does some chorus and plays some synths/pads. Both of them participate on the songwriting and I'd like to say that if it wasnt for Josh, Tyler would have quite the band so its a very important person
Love your enthusiasm! We don't mind you pausing. I think its a necessity with them if you want to digest everything happening! Juxtaposing dark lyrics with upbeat instrumentals is a staple throughout their discography. Holding on to You (original video and Live at Fox Theater as a double feauture??) would be awesome next!
Yeah, I never understood people who get mad about pausing in reaction videos. If you want to see the original go watch the original. Reaction videos should be a different piece of content.
First show outside Ohio, not the first one of their career (they had a lot of shows in Ohio before this). Tyler used a lot of backing tracks because there was just two of them. Locig Pro. Of course he has also real synths.
the rap verse where you said "won't tell you who i'm singing towards"? - it's a really deep verse but it goes so fast and it's a live recording so impossible to pick up on one listen - it's basically him talking about how he denies his religious beliefs in his music and how he battles with that
The second verse is biblical as both Josh and Tyler are Christians. He talks about 3 time MVPing the crime of denying, as Judas did to Jesus. He then says hes afraid to tell you who he adores and won't tell us who he's singing towards, and that metaphorically he's a whore and that's denial number 4. Since this was on his first album after getting signed to a label, I feel this lyric is an expression of guilt for having to tone down the overt Christian themes that are present in his earlier work in an attempt to reach mainstream success.
And then to do it live? I’m yeah…that’s their bit. And it is the best part of them. Only other live I have seen that doesn’t hold their beer is Travis Scott. The difference: the clique.
@Toci Reacts - Since you enjoyed the drums so much, you MUST watch this video of Josh Dun doing a drum battle with, himself. I saw this tour and I saw this live and it BLEW MY MIND!!! Please do a reaction, this clip is only 2:16, but oh so worth it. - th-cam.com/video/MQBStVW75Qc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Kla0wlG6xCgHnPYg
My favorite performance by them is migraine live…I’ve watched a lot of reactions and if I’m being honest you do pause to much…it’s more fun when you get into the song a bit and then pause. Not saying we don’t want to hear your take but I think you should also get into the vibe of the song
First off, love your reactions to their music, their artistry is top notch, but there is another side you haven't witnessed yet. the story/lore they tell. i recommend going through just about all songs from them, but if you want a real trip watch these in this order. I am Clancy (not a song, but worth the listen as it outlines the story, can be watched first or last) Heavy Dirty Soul Jumpsuit Nico and The Niners Levitate Shy Away Saturday The Outside Overcompensate Navigating Paladin Strait here is a playlist made that has them in order, worth your time to watch 100% th-cam.com/video/53tgVlXBZVg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=vBOivW94i8svbSrr

Toci: how many beat switches will we get in this song
Tyler: YES
Also Lane Boy next please!! Actually any order is okay, all their music is enjoyable and relatable. This is your journey!
ive always thought if someone likes Ode to Sleep, that youll naturally be a fan of the rest of their discography. please keep reacting!
This is so true!
Not me screaming “LOOK AT THE SCREEN” during the last half of the song. 😂😂😂 This video always gives me goosebumps!
Haha same 😂 me yelling look at Josh on the crowd!!

Amazing man … the talent and passion is evident!
JOSH DUN IS THE DRUMMER AND HE KILLS IT EVERY TIME
Pause as much as you want. First listens of TØP require pauses and replays to take everything in. 😂
Heavy topics with upbeat instrumental is the motto of TØP. 🤣
The drummer is Josh Dun. In the words of his wife, Debby Ryan, “his job is drum.” Also Tyler told him when they first started making music together to play harder and beat the about out of his drums.
Also, fun fact, Real Bear Media is their friend Mark who has documented them from the beginning and still does today. They’ve said he’s the third pilot.

I used to go to sleep to this album, dropping into bed after turning it on. I’d get in at ‘up, up, up to the ceiling’, and it became this marker of my bedtime ritual. It kept me positive and calm.

Oh, and Josh Dun is the best drummer ever!
I use some Clancy songs now to chill before sleeping.
I SO love watching someone on the discovery journey of TOP :D Tyler is am amazing lyricist and Josh (Dun ;) is a the GOAT on the drums
Yess I love that feeling ❤
Just get crazy with this song! Next could be Holding on to You, the live at Fox Theather version :):)

Their live shows are amazing! Actually, they just wrapped up the US leg of their world tour for the album they released earlier this year, and I confidently assert it's their best show ever! ❤
"Anyone, from anywhere, can do anything."- Tyler Joseph, grammy award speach.

hope you keep diving into their music. Fans are named 'skeleton clique' or (the clique/clikkies) for short as tyler and josh have been wearing skeleton hoodies since early in their career to grab the audience's attention. they are great performers and a lot of their songs, like this one, deal with struggles with mental health and wrestling with their faith and beliefs.
The way you breakdown the video and also have fun with it is amazing. You are in for the craziest ride with 21p. Subbed at the Car Radio reaction itself. Can't wait to see more!!!
@@ItsHarryy ❤️❤️❤️
came to see if you posted after the last reaction and you did two minutes ago??!! can’t wait to see the future reactions.. and you need to listen to the other albums because they all sound DRASTICALLY different
- you should try listening to one of their live performances… holding onto you live would be a PERFECT next reaction
You got it!
Just my opinion, I think he should listen to the official music first, and then listen to live sometime after that
don't worry about pausing, we enjoy you falling free into this rabbit hole. savor the moment dude, there's a lot of songs to react to, not to mention their lore that spans throughout the decade.
Another reaction channel to enjoy, we're looking forward to you navigating through this once in a lifetime journey, man!
most oh their early sounds comes from the legacy sounds library from logic pro/garage band as he used a lot of the midi keyboard. During 2013 Tyler started to use a lot of presets from nexus 2 while live he played regular instruments. Nowadays its a mix of that and recorded instruments. Tyler its a very good producer and with Paul Meany (co-producer) make some incredible songs. One of my favourite albums its Trench, and the most recent one its Clancy.
P.S.
The band formed in 2009 with Tyler Joseph and two more members (Chris and Nick). Then in 2011 Chris left the band offering Josh Dun (the actual drummer) as replacement. Some months after Nick also left the band and now they are only two: Tyler and Josh. The show you saw in ode to sleep was their first show outside Ohio.
Fun Fact! After remaining only two members, Tyler wrote and upload at their webpage a song called "Two" due to the insecurity of the band, because he thought they could not continue with only two
Ode To Sleep is basically defintion of - trust the proccess
Yesss the music is so upbeat snd makes you want to move but the lyrics are super deep and thought out 🌻
Drummers name is Josh Dun :D
PS: the music video at around halfway through the song is live, being different from the song. I love the twenty one pilots content! Keep it up! :D
Twenty one pilots songs I would wanna see reactions from next (I would finish vessel before going onto blurryface): Holding onto you (my favorite song of all time which is on vessel), migraine (vessel), screen (vessel), and trees (they play this song at the end of every concert they do so it’s very special to the duo, on vessel)
Bro… I love that you’re getting it… I’m enjoying watching you get excited about something I discovered my self about 8 years ago at a time I needed to find them. I just subscribed, it will be fun watching you go through this journey. Wait until you get to the concept albums…
They are masters of deep intense lyrics on top of happy go lucky instrumentals. Migraine highlights that a lot. I love that you’re starting a toward the beginning of their journey. Seems like everyone is starting with the new album and working backwards, which works too, but this way you get to experience the growth these guys have had. Buckle up, it’s a wild ride 🔥
I wanna try and stay chronologically in order if possible, I feel like it’s a more organic experience you know?
@@TociReacts Agreed. Hit up Migraine and Holding on to You. Same era.
@@RandomPerson-pl9ip I’m thinking I’m gonna do holding on to you live at the fox theatre!
@@TociReacts definitely a good one. Maybe do the original first so you can appreciate the live more? Plus the official video is beautiful.
@@RandomPerson-pl9ip what if I do both in one sitting / video to get like more in depth comparison due to them being one right after the other? Or would that be too much?
Welcome to the journey!🎉 im loving your twenty one pilots reactions, you should react guns for hands. Deep lyrics too❤❤
I love Ode to Sleep!!! Thank you for the reaction!
So glad you re-uploaded! ✌🏻looking forward to more TOP.
Let’s go!!! Keep going on the pilots journey!
Tyler is singing live at the end but that’s only for the video, I’ve seen them live twice-I attend MANY concerts, and IMO, Twenty One Pilots is in my top three with Steve Miller Band and Rolling Stones. They use small stages and put them out in the audience, held up by the fans-huge statement of trust but their stans are like the Renegades.
If you're confused about The Basement, it's a section of a venue here in their hometown of Columbus, OH. The venue is currently called Kemba Live (name changes based on who their highest sponsor is, during the time this music video was filmed it was probably called PromoWest Pavillion or Communities Pavillion) which has 4 stages: a bar, The Basement, an indoor stage, and an outdoor stage :)
I also believe the second performance in the music video is also at kemba but outside? i could be wrong on that
Good morning kind sir.. loved your reaction to car radio of theirs and ode to sleep is another masterpiece. First song off their “vessel” album which deals primarily with mental health issues(car radio is also on that album). In this music video is hard to pick up on some of the lyrics.. for lead singer Tyler who has dealt with Mental health issues, morning time is good for him, and evening time is when all the bad negative thoughts would come into play.. opening lyric is “I wake up fine and dandy”. So at night is when he’s trying to kick out all those voices, he hears in his head. And that doesn’t happen until he goes to sleep and wakes up, hence ode to sleep. If you want to learn more about the duo and their music, I would continue going down the vessel album. “Holding onto you” or “migraine” would be my choices. Can’t wait for your next reaction. Keep up the good word
ohhh yes yes yes here for more pilots yess
You got it!
SO much love for Josh Dun!!! Just starting your playlist, better keep it upppp!
You have stumbled on to the best band in the world! Every aspect of everything they do is stellar, true artistry and pure, genuine talent. Loved your reaction and def can't wait to watch you fall in love with these two geniuses! New sub here!! ❤|-/💛
❤️
If you want to stay in vessel, fake you out, trees, and migraine are amazing, but if you want to hear other albums, Johnny boy, addict with a pen, and trapdoor, are my favorites from self titled, heavydirtysoul, fairly local, and polarize from blurry face, morph, my blood, and the hype from trench, good day, the outside, and no chances, from scaled and icy, routines in the night, navigating, and ATROFD (acronym), from Clancy, level of concern is my favorite of their singles.
As they put it themselves "this one's a contradiction because of how happy it sounds, but the lyrics are so down"
It's the perfect time for you to listen to "implicit demand for proof" by twenty one pilots, you won't regret it
Yayy, glad you figured it out
🙏❤️
You're reaction made me sooo happy!
❤️😊
Ok! I've watched a couple of your reactions now and I'm down for another journey through the TOP library. I started with Joe E Sparks going from the same naive start as you, to now being a full blown clique member and lifelong fan. His background is videography and offers some great insight to their videos. I can't wait to watch your journey as a musician do the same for us with the music. Start slow, take it all in. You're going to learn a lot, and just wait until you get into the lore! Just another level on top of levels. Let's go!
Since you are a musician and creator, welcome to your new favorite musician and creator!
Glad to hear here!!
The drummer is Josh Dun!!! Debby Ryan’s husband
I can’t wait to watch your TOP journey! I’ve been a fan since 2015. Ode to sleep is one of my favorites
You are making the video better lol
Great reaction 🎉😊
So glad you appreciated this one! Another good one to check out is Lane Boy or Migraine or Holding On To You.
I can't say enough about these 2.. to explain anything.. you got to figure it out as you go bro.
But... this 1 song is such an energy boost every time I hear it. Anywhere and at anytime it's played.. your reactions to it.. say enough for my explanations.. live this 🙌 👏 👌 ❤ 😅
the band wouldn’t be the same without josh ❤ glad to see that you want to know about him!
Tyler did NOT play the uke on this song, the white and black scenes are from other songs, and the colour ones are from ode to sleep. The song of the footage was Screen.
Some uke songs (i'll skip acoustic sessions and covers):
Isle of flightless birds (LIVE!!!!)
House Of Gold
Screen
Lane Boy (LIVE!!!!)
The Judge
We Don't Believe What's on TV
The Hype
Nico And The Niners
Legend
Formidable
Bounce Man
Next Semester (yes... they are ukes with pedals not electric guitars hahaha)
The Craving (both versions)
Oldies Station
Paladin Strait
Honorable mention: Vessel's 10th anniversary livestream
Ok so Tyler is producer, singer, lyricst bassist, pianist, guitarist (thanks to Jack White he started to play the guitar because he gave them some as a gift), plays ukulele (soprano and baritone), keyboardist , and he did the studio drums before Josh came in.
Josh does the drums (very fundamental part for a two piece band), and now he does some chorus and plays some synths/pads.
Both of them participate on the songwriting and I'd like to say that if it wasnt for Josh, Tyler would have quite the band so its a very important person
I subscribed today to watch your journey as you discover this band. I'm here for it.
🙏❤️
Love your enthusiasm! We don't mind you pausing. I think its a necessity with them if you want to digest everything happening! Juxtaposing dark lyrics with upbeat instrumentals is a staple throughout their discography.
Holding on to You (original video and Live at Fox Theater as a double feauture??) would be awesome next!
You got it!
Yeah, I never understood people who get mad about pausing in reaction videos. If you want to see the original go watch the original. Reaction videos should be a different piece of content.
“You will find heavy and dark lyrics disguised by catchy beats and creative song structures.” -Tyler Joseph
Ukulele is their major instrument. You can hear it from lots of their songs
The beginning was the first show outside of their home state of Ohio
Keep up the good videos man
Also the drummers name is Josh dunn
Give it up for Josh Dun on the drums!
BABE U CAN PAUSE WHENEVER U WANT I LOVE TO SEE MUSIC ENTHUSIASTS COMMENT EVERY DETAIL THEY ARE EXCITED ABOUT, YOU GOOO🎉❤
😂🙏❤️
for more synth.... watch Navigating (newer song), Shy away, The Hype (Berlin) they have new wave vibes
First show outside Ohio, not the first one of their career (they had a lot of shows in Ohio before this). Tyler used a lot of backing tracks because there was just two of them. Locig Pro. Of course he has also real synths.
I actually grew up in Ohio!!! That’s amazing!
@Toci Reacts - Tyler creates the backtracks. Drummer: Josh Dun
The only band which sounds similar or even better, live than on records.
For more ukulele … ’House of Gold‘
the rap verse where you said "won't tell you who i'm singing towards"? - it's a really deep verse but it goes so fast and it's a live recording so impossible to pick up on one listen - it's basically him talking about how he denies his religious beliefs in his music and how he battles with that
Okay uke songs…House of Gold and Next Semester .✌️😊🌼🔥
OMG you are in for the ride of your lire with Twenty One Pilots
It's not uncommon for a TOP song to totally change halfway through. They even have a song about how they do their own thing - Lane Boy
I think you'll love Lane Boy
The first show •out of state•
Maybe.
he plays ukelele ;)
Ukulele is Tyler's favorite instrument. The bass-y one. What's it called?
The second verse is biblical as both Josh and Tyler are Christians. He talks about 3 time MVPing the crime of denying, as Judas did to Jesus. He then says hes afraid to tell you who he adores and won't tell us who he's singing towards, and that metaphorically he's a whore and that's denial number 4.
Since this was on his first album after getting signed to a label, I feel this lyric is an expression of guilt for having to tone down the overt Christian themes that are present in his earlier work in an attempt to reach mainstream success.
And then to do it live? I’m yeah…that’s their bit. And it is the best part of them. Only other live I have seen that doesn’t hold their beer is Travis Scott. The difference: the clique.
@Toci Reacts - Since you enjoyed the drums so much, you MUST watch this video of Josh Dun doing a drum battle with, himself. I saw this tour and I saw this live and it BLEW MY MIND!!! Please do a reaction, this clip is only 2:16, but oh so worth it. - th-cam.com/video/MQBStVW75Qc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Kla0wlG6xCgHnPYg
Welcome to the skeleton clique bro 😁
Its ok you pause on 21 Pilots. There are alot of oh sh*t moments in songs. Especially if its your first time.
My favorite performance by them is migraine live…I’ve watched a lot of reactions and if I’m being honest you do pause to much…it’s more fun when you get into the song a bit and then pause. Not saying we don’t want to hear your take but I think you should also get into the vibe of the song
First off, love your reactions to their music, their artistry is top notch, but there is another side you haven't witnessed yet. the story/lore they tell.
i recommend going through just about all songs from them, but if you want a real trip watch these in this order.
I am Clancy (not a song, but worth the listen as it outlines the story, can be watched first or last)
Heavy Dirty Soul
Jumpsuit
Nico and The Niners
Levitate
Shy Away
Saturday
The Outside
Overcompensate
Navigating
Paladin Strait
here is a playlist made that has them in order, worth your time to watch 100%

Can you react to NF-REMEMBER THIS
Oh man! This journey is going to be such a fun ride along with you!
Welcome to your new favorite group/obsession! 😄💗
