So cool to see you guys react to Ethel!! She actually writes and produces all her own music, which makes this like 10x more insane, hope to see more of her on the channel!
@@gqrdeniiq I guess I just need to embrace my new identity as that one insane fan in every comment section of every piece of media related to an artist😭
I am not prepared for how little you all are prepared for Ethel. She makes masterpieces, I would love to see your reaction to American Teenager and the irony in the sound and lyrics.
The chandelier rocking to me is a reference to a line the first song in the album called Family Tree (Intro) that says "Swinging by my neck from the family tree".
This album has LORE I know you guys don’t do albums, so i’m not sure how you wanna listen to her discography. Tbh the meaning of the songs are very intricate and deep and honestly you probably wouldn’t get the full picture without looking it up. I don’t mean that condescendingly, there’s just a lot to it. But also the meaning isn’t everything and I enjoyed your commentary on the production/vocals!
Florence is her biggest idol and inspiration so that's why it's giving her vibe. They actually are friends now and sometime they perform together. And yes, she has been compared to Lana more. Her album "Preacher's Daughter" is very much compared to Ultraviolence by Lana
Omg guys plsss react more to Ethel's music. She has such beautiful songs and her voice really gets under your skin. A House In Nebraska is one of my favourites and It's over 7 minutes long!! But American Teenager & Western Nights are also really good songs.
This album is a concept album and the Genius notations are helpful if you want the exact story of this Character, but it's also nice to see how people react to the songs without any context of the storyline. If you listen to songs like Ptolemaea or Strangers I would recommend having Genius up to help. Ethel Cain is without a doubt my favorite artist and I am so happy to see you guys explore her work! If I had the money to donate I would recommend western nights or thoroughfare, I really like those two and they have a lot of the fun guitar experiences
you guys immediately picking up on the cinematic elements of the song! nice work - the album was actually first conceived as a "soundtrack" to a film Hayden/ethel wanted to create but didn't have a budget for, so she learned to produce music from her bedroom and over the course of several years - Preacher's Daughter was born
So excited for y'all to go down the Ethel Cain rabbit hole, this is the song I love giving to people for their first exposure to her, but I recommend doing American Teenager and House in Nebraska next.
Yall picking up on the flies and horror movie immediately. Yall have to embrace the album because yes. Thoroughfare, this, Gibson girl, ptolomea, and strangers are the iconic ones for me. She writes and produces it all which for me is fantastic cause the music is very emphasized and she plays with the dynamics very well. It should be noted that the album is a concept album not a reflection of her reality. But the lyrics of this one are a lot more interesting when considering that the album is named preachers daughter. There’s a shorter one of this song that opens the album for a little of the first verse starts it but then is different from there. It’s just as good.
also! as far as meaning, her lyricism contains a lot of nuance- branching meanings. But the central meaning to Family Tree, is addressing her roots in the church, her upbringing, family/generational trauma, and religious trauma, and asking forgiveness for your own "sins" and the mistakes of your parents and theirs. A later song 'Ptolemaea' in this album contains the lyric "Blessed be the daughters of Cain, bound to suffering eternal through the sins of their fathers committed long before their conception."
highly recommend listening to the Preachers Daughter album and reading the genius comments that go along w each song. you get the full story from that that could be easy to miss just listening, this album is like a novel. there is LORE that goes w it that makes it so much more than just an album.
Loved the reaction, always like it when more people check out Ethel's music! Yall definitely should check out Strangers by Ethel Cain, by far one of my favorites from her and I think you guys will also really like the way it builds up.
She’s such an interesting artist. I hope you react to more of her stuff. I definitely recommend the entirety of Preachers Daughter as it’s a concept album! If you don’t do full albums checkout the American Teenager video!
Yall should really look into Phoebe Bridgers! Her whole discography is amazing honestly. Some of my favs are Kyoto, Moon Song, Funeral, Graceland Too, Motion Sickness and ICU
This song reminds me of Trent Reznor's How To Destroy Angels - especially their song The Spaces in Between. I love a song with drone, distortion and an uncomfortable message.
This album is essentially a movie, the storyline is insane and disturbing. It's FANTASTIC. you should listen to it as a whole. Picking up on the murder vibes is not wrong... think Jeffrey dahmer. The flies are there for a reason throughout this album
omgggg ethel cain mention!!! Just fyi in case folks ask you to react to more of her stuff - be very careful. Her work is absolutely fucking stunning. Life-changing. World-shaking. AND it's also very triggering/disturbing to a lot of people if they are not prepared for it. Particularly don't recommend listening to anyone suggesting that you listen to Ptolemaea, Strangers, Hard Times, or even Sun Bleached Flies to be honest without having preparation and context. A quick spoiler-filled summary of this album, Preacher's Daughter: a concept album about Ethel Cain, a young trans woman from the deep south in the early 90's who has undergone loss, religious and familial trauma, abusive relationships, etc. She runs away from her hometown after yet another traumatic experience and a personal revelation about her own abuse, hitches a ride with a guy that she convinces herself is her new love (unreliable narrator moment), and he ends up drugging her, pimping her out, murdering her, and eventually cannibalizing her body while she watches it happen from heaven and reflects on her life. It's incredibly cinematic, and she is writing two accompanying albums that will further explore the character's family tree, as well as novelizations of each one. The lore is INSANE. I could write a 50 page thesis on how this album changed my life and perfectly encapsulated generational female trauma. If y'all want to dive into her more and get more prep/context to do that, I would be happy to provide (I've done it for several react channels at this point lmao), or I'm sure @headinthewall who has already commented here would be happy to as well!
Absolutely the track to react to in order to see if you’re into it enough to check out the rest of the album, but as concept-albums go, I highly recommend listening to the whole album, (only listening to one song tends to remind me of when people only listen to one song off Pink Floyd’s The Wall-usually, “Comfortably Numb”.) “I said Florence…” => I’m like, “and you were correct, pls don’t say what you’re about to say.” “…Lana…” => 🤦🏻♀️ “They said it.” 😂😂😂 Seriously tho, this track is the one I use as a barometer for people to see if they’ll vibe with the whole album, even tho the whole album is not like this song, it’s sort of the core or the heart of the album as a whole. If you don’t want to check out the full album yet, check out something earlier like “Crush” or “Inbred.”
You guuuuys...not reacting to Eurovision 2024 top performances (especially from Switzerland, Croatia, Ireland and Ukraine) is a crime 😵 you would get new subscribers jn a blink because it's mad crazy Eurovision 💥
So cool to see you guys react to Ethel!! She actually writes and produces all her own music, which makes this like 10x more insane, hope to see more of her on the channel!
i love watching any video related to Hayden and knowing you will be in the comments 😭
@@causticismm IM CRYING PLEASE I KEEP GETTING RECOGNISED I HATE IT HERE😭😭
@@headinthewallno, it's actually really cool to see you every time i search up an ethel video 😭
@@gqrdeniiq I guess I just need to embrace my new identity as that one insane fan in every comment section of every piece of media related to an artist😭
@@headinthewall me too honestly, i've commented on things about her more times than i can count 😭 and I'm seeing her live next week too
Please please please react to more Ethel Cain!!!! She is amazing!!!
I am not prepared for how little you all are prepared for Ethel. She makes masterpieces, I would love to see your reaction to American Teenager and the irony in the sound and lyrics.
Ethel is a GENIUS. Please listen to her whole album! It tells an incredible story
The chandelier rocking to me is a reference to a line the first song in the album called Family Tree (Intro) that says "Swinging by my neck from the family tree".
I’ve always thought of it as the memory of her father and past haunting her
This album has LORE I know you guys don’t do albums, so i’m not sure how you wanna listen to her discography.

Omg thank you so much for reacting to Ethel, y'all have to check out more of her! I recommend the songs Strangers, House in Nebraska and Inbred 🤗
HEAVY ON STRANGERS AND HOUSE IN NEBRASKA‼️‼️
FULL ALBUM PLEASE I AM LITERAL ON THE FLOOR BEGGING I NEED IT TO SURVIVE

the genius annotations are completely bullshit. Hayden said it herself, she has no idea what the hell they're writing on there
you guys immediately picking up on the cinematic elements of the song! nice work - the album was actually first conceived as a "soundtrack" to a film Hayden/ethel wanted to create but didn't have a budget for, so she learned to produce music from her bedroom and over the course of several years - Preacher's Daughter was born

I’ve never heard of this artist but am now intrigued. Can someone please recommend where to start the journey?
Start with her full length debut album, preachers daughter, the whole album is a masterpiece, listen to it and lemme know how u felt.
highly recommend listening to the Preachers Daughter album and reading the genius comments that go along w each song. you get the full story from that that could be easy to miss just listening, this album is like a novel. there is LORE that goes w it that makes it so much more than just an album.
ethel cain oh em gee

Florence is like her god mother she used to take her on stage to sing with her and they have a collab
TRAILMIX🗣️ LOVE U FOR THIS
I’d love to see you react to the full album.. the story she weaves is chilling.
Loved the reaction, always like it when more people check out Ethel's music! Yall definitely should check out Strangers by Ethel Cain, by far one of my favorites from her and I think you guys will also really like the way it builds up.
She’s such an interesting artist. I hope you react to more of her stuff. I definitely recommend the entirety of Preachers Daughter as it’s a concept album! If you don’t do full albums checkout the American Teenager video!

Yall should really look into Phoebe Bridgers! Her whole discography is amazing honestly. Some of my favs are Kyoto, Moon Song, Funeral, Graceland Too, Motion Sickness and ICU

This song reminds me of Trent Reznor's How To Destroy Angels - especially their song The Spaces in Between. I love a song with drone, distortion and an uncomfortable message.
Hell yeah!! Ethel's the best
This album is essentially a movie, the storyline is insane and disturbing. It's FANTASTIC. you should listen to it as a whole. Picking up on the murder vibes is not wrong... think Jeffrey dahmer. The flies are there for a reason throughout this album
Essentially it's everything bad that can happen to someone lol
I'm so excited/nervous to see their reaction to Ptolemaea omgg
omgggg ethel cain mention!!! Just fyi in case folks ask you to react to more of her stuff - be very careful. Her work is absolutely fucking stunning. Life-changing. World-shaking. AND it's also very triggering/disturbing to a lot of people if they are not prepared for it.

Full album reaction PLEASE!!
Absolutely the track to react to in order to see if you’re into it enough to check out the rest of the album, but as concept-albums go, I highly recommend listening to the whole album, (only listening to one song tends to remind me of when people only listen to one song off Pink Floyd’s The Wall-usually, “Comfortably Numb”.)
“I said Florence…” => I’m like, “and you were correct, pls don’t say what you’re about to say.”
“…Lana…” => 🤦🏻♀️ “They said it.”
😂😂😂
Seriously tho, this track is the one I use as a barometer for people to see if they’ll vibe with the whole album, even tho the whole album is not like this song, it’s sort of the core or the heart of the album as a whole.
If you don’t want to check out the full album yet, check out something earlier like “Crush” or “Inbred.”
