This was my favorite song from the ages of 12-13, and its by far my favorite ROAR song just because of my emotional connection to it. Like… this song was played for hours and hours on end, and once I realized I related to the lyrics I kinda figured out what a horrible environment i was in at the time. Im far away from that place now. I don’t listen to this song as the blanket wrapped around me on dark nights anymore, but with more forgiveness to my past self and I did leave, I did escape, and i did live beyond those walls. I feel free when i listen to this song.
@@sayuthesonic2566 TW Shorter version it’s about a guy (phil) who married a minor named ronnett and he adopted 2 kids as a Christmas present and he locked ronnett and the kids up in his basement and he had a bucket as a toilet and they fased a lot of abuse phil even pointed a gun next to her head and threatened death and a lot more horrible stuff (you can look it up) Ronnett eventually escaped with help from her mother later phil was put in prison (for a different case idk what i think he killed people) he eventually died of COVID and ronnett died of cancer Rip ronnett you didn’t deserve any of the horrific things that happened to you hope your in a better place now ❤❤❤
I hope this song gets the respect and care it deserves. It’s an a amazing song about a horrible real world story. And one that still happens today indeed. I wish anyone experienced something like this the best.. Explanation The story that this song is about Ronnie Spector, who is a 60s Pop star who was abused and locked up by her husband Phil Spector, a songwriter, who used her for fame. In an attempt to keep her with him he adopted two twins as “Gifts “ On christmas. dubbed the Christmas Kids- the name of this song. Ronnie eventually escaped, but was unable to change her name due to being known under the name, Ronnie Spector. This is shown in the lyric “Change your name or change your mind” this was done so she could continue in the music industry. This song is supposed to be for awareness. (This is sort of a repost, just to spread the info.) Edit Thanks for liking this so much, I didn’t expect it to be noticed that much. I changed the wording, so people could understand better. I used audio, so it must’ve put words in i didn’t say. Anyways, Ty for reading this, i hope you all know this tragic story now. Please copy and paste to spread awareness!
Lyrics: Ronnette, my dear, don't ever disappear 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 I'll know, I'll know Appearing unsightly, with devils inside me If you ever try to leave me, I'll find you, Ronnie If you ever try to leave me, I'll find you, Ronnie 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 inside this prison cell, this prison cell So, get me out of here Get me out of here Get me out of here Get me out of here 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 I'll know, I'll know
@@sarvselv do you not now the story behind the song? It's about a real life abusive relationship case of the singer Ronnie. Her abuser gifted her kids on Christmas so she wouldn't leave and basically he kept her locked up and abused and manipulated her with the kids. You should research it bc I'm bad at explaining
This song is really creepy when you actually know the history behind it. but the songs slaps so idc lol. Rip Ronnie, hope you rock and roll forever in a much better place..
This song is so good and before I thought this was a wholesome song but after finding out what the meaning is just gained much more appreciation for this song because it shows something so horrible the world can be but still find hope
I love this song, especially when I'm looking at all the animals leaving, tried to give pipsqueak a marshmallow, pipsqueak then rejects said marshmallow, they all run away, and then I look at the lorax, and then he pinches his ass to fly away into the sky.
Slight vent incoming The first part I can relate to bc I’m very possessive of close friends cause I just don’t want to lose them. I don’t know if it’s a good possessive or bad but I need to get rid of the habit of making friends that I know I’ll lose
this song hits hard after formerly living with a controlling cousin who seemed THIS obsessed with me, and he always tried to turn it on me. im out of that environment now- other issues happened with my fam and that side of the family- but ive never been happier in my life. of course i know the backstory of this song, and i dont wish anyone to go through that. stay safe out there you guys.
@@Jappers__ thank you so much, that actually means a lot. nothing can undo the trauma he inflicted on me but it feels great living a good life now, something he never wanted me to do.
I WANT TO CRY THIS SONG REMINDS ME OF MY FRIEND ZACH WHO MOVED OUT I MISS HIM SO MUCH HE WAS SUCH A GREAT FRIEND I WISH HE DIDNT MOVED OUT NOW IM CRYING FUIHIOAHF *cries even harder*
So basically if anyone didn’t know what the meant this song or backstory is so basically it’s this guy named Phil and he kidnapped this girl, that’s maybe like a teen and then he adopts a bunch of kids right before Christmas or on Christmas something like that, and he makes her take care of the kids, that’s why the song is called Christmas kids! and we’re in the song one of the lyrics say,” if you ever try to leave me Ronnie, I’ll find you” and also (personally my favorite part) when the lyrics also say,” 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,” and finally she escapes and that’s why one of the lyrics also say,” or leave this fucked up place behind, so I’ll go I’ll know, I’ll go I’ll know,” also as you can see I listen carefully to the lyrics and honestly I don’t relate to like this backstory or meaning of this song, but like my childhood trauma is just insane, like not like my friends childhood, so anyways I hope you guys understand the song better now! This took a bit btw!
reminds me of my dog named G. he was always there for me after i went to my new school. after the bullying and suffering was over. when my mother left me home with no food, water, or anything i’d have panic attacks and he was there. i miss that dog. i’m crying while typing this. he was sick. then, there was no one.
When you get into deeper thought you realize how much it resembles Pink Diamond the lyrics is as if its from different POVs. "Ronette my dear don't ever disappear" Sounds like Pearl hoping that Pink/Rose would never choose anybody over her, "The Christmas kids were nothing but a gift", could be taken 2 ways considering Spinel, was a gift or White knew about Rose being Pink the whole time. "If you ever try to leave me, I'll find you" and "I'll know" Just remind me of White Diamond. Of course we have "You'll change your name" As Pink/Rose and "You'll change your mind" as White Diamond. "Let me out of here" Would probably be when Pink first got sent to time-out in the tower. "This prison cell" Also sounds like it could relate to that. I already know the backstory of this song thought so please dont come for me
0:00 - 0:33 This song reminds me of ‘s’ The last time I saw her was 3-2 years ago. I miss her. She was so nice even if I was almost 3 years younger than her. We were best friends. She watched yt with me, she let me listen to music with her headphones, she comforted me when a terrible storm broke out during camp. But the reason she left is bc of ‘r’ a girl her age who made her really uncomfortable. “Do you wanna ki$$ in the bathroom” WHO ASKS THAT!? THE PSYCHOPATH MADE HER AFRAID TO GO TO THE BATHROOM IF SHE WAS GOING TOO, I HAD TO MAKE SURE R DIDNT GO AFTER HER. SHE SPENT OUR GYM TIME CRYING IN A CORNER BC OF HER! I feel bad for her. She left camp after that. I had no other friends. Thankfully enough, d and the E’s became my friends. But if s ever finds this (doubt) I’m so thankful for you, I’m so sorry :( My ver, of lyrics ^^ Sid my dear, don’t ever disappear :(((( We can do whatever you want, as long as you stay here
For people curious, here’s the song’s meaning: Evans says, "Music producer Phil Spector was said to have hidden his wife Ronnie's shoes so that she couldn't run away. He was rumored to have threatened his wife with a glass casket he kept in the house, saying that he would display her corpse in it if she attempted to escape. Spector was simultaneously writing and producing trite, catchy, pop songs for teens. Pop music, by definition, is so ubiquitous and easily consumed that it can be hastily digested as banal or innocuous. When taking Spector's abusive, possessive behavior into account, the lyrics of '60s pop songs can begin to feel dark, insincere, and even sinister. I found a lot of common themes in pop from that era. One recurring theme was that of women being dependent upon a man or relationship to feel valuable and loved. Phil Spector is rumored to have forced his wife to watch Citizen Kane in the hopes that she would realize she'd be nothing without him. To me, the dichotomy between the Spectors' relationship and the music they created offers the following beautiful, albeit tragic, illustration: All the quaint, romantic notions of love that '60s pop music has given us, do not adequately prepare hearts and minds for the often brutal reality of human relationships. Seriously, though, don't listen to me because I have no idea what I'm talking about." www.phoenixnewtimes.com/music/roar-explains-christmas-kids-6595841
I could never listen to this song or any music like it for a really long time because of alot of guilt and things that I did/that happened in the past, I listened to it for the first time after making amend today and I finally feel content
Roar is a Phoenix, Arizona, hard rock band formed by Owen Evans in the late 2000s. In 2016, Evans started moonlighting as the touring drummer for fellow Arizona-based folk-punk band AJJ, but he continued to release records as Roar. "Christmas Kids" is a track from Roar's 2010 debut EP, I Can't Handle Change. The song is about producer Phil Spector's abusive relationship with his wife Ronnie Spector. Phil Spector was a music producer who was known for his innovative "Wall of Sound" production technique that was popular in the 1960s. He was married to Veronica "Ronnie" Bennett, who was the lead singer of the girl group, The Ronettes, between 1968 and 1974. According to Ronnie, Phil Spector was controlling and jealous, and he would often physically and emotionally abuse her. She described incidents where he would pull her hair, hit her, and even threaten her with a gun. She also said he would isolate her from her friends and family and force her to stay at home and not work on music. Appearing unsightly With devils inside me If you ever try to leave me, I'll find you, Ronnie "Phil Spector was said to have hidden his wife Ronnie's shoes so that she couldn't run away," Evans detailed to The Phoenix New Times. "He was rumored to have threatened his wife with a glass casket he kept in the house, saying that he would display her corpse in it if she attempted to escape. Spector was simultaneously writing and producing trite, catchy, pop songs for teens." The title refers to the twins Louis and Gary Spector that Phil reportedly coerced Ronnie into adopting one Christmas in an attempt to revive their marriage. The Christmas kids were nothing but a gift And love is a tower where all of us can live Ronnie eventually filed for divorce from Phil Spector, citing irreconcilable differences. The singer later wrote in her 1990 memoir Be My Baby that she feared for her life during their marriage, and her mother helped her to escape from him. Louis and Gary Spector also accused their adopted father of engaging in likewise behavior towards them.

Meaning behind this song - trigger warning This is about phill spector and ronnie. To sum it up phill was abusive to Ronnie and basically locked her in the house to prevent her from cheating. He adopted twins on Christmas as a gift to Ronnie and she didn’t like this very much. Phill was a big music artist, he worked with the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, and the ronnets (sorry if I spelt that wrong) which was the band that Ronnie was in. Ronnie and her band were also so popular they got the chance to work with the other bands I previously mentioned. After Phill and Ronnie married, he cut ronnie’s communication with those bands because they had men in them. With the children, phill used to lock them in rooms and left a bucket for them to use as a toilet. I hope that the children are doing well, that phill sector rots in h3ll even though I don’t believe it, and r.i.p Ronnie.

Lyrics:
Ronnette, my dear, don't ever disappear
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

And leave this fucked up place behind
But 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 inside this prison cell, this prison cell
So, get me out of here
Get me out of here
Get me out of here
Get me out of here
You'll change your name, or change your mind
And leave this fucked up place behind

Roar is a Phoenix, Arizona, hard rock band formed by Owen Evans in the late 2000s. In 2016, Evans started moonlighting as the touring drummer for fellow Arizona-based folk-punk band AJJ, but he continued to release records as Roar. "Christmas Kids" is a track from Roar's 2010 debut EP, I Can't Handle Change.
The song is about producer Phil Spector's abusive relationship with his wife Ronnie Spector. Phil Spector was a music producer who was known for his innovative "Wall of Sound" production technique that was popular in the 1960s. He was married to Veronica "Ronnie" Bennett, who was the lead singer of the girl group, The Ronettes, between 1968 and 1974.
According to Ronnie, Phil Spector was controlling and jealous, and he would often physically and emotionally abuse her. She described incidents where he would pull her hair, hit her, and even threaten her with a gun. She also said he would isolate her from her friends and family and force her to stay at home and not work on music.
Appearing unsightly
With devils inside me
If you ever try to leave me, I'll find you, Ronnie
"Phil Spector was said to have hidden his wife Ronnie's shoes so that she couldn't run away," Evans detailed to The Phoenix New Times. "He was rumored to have threatened his wife with a glass casket he kept in the house, saying that he would display her corpse in it if she attempted to escape. Spector was simultaneously writing and producing trite, catchy, pop songs for teens."
The title refers to the twins Louis and Gary Spector that Phil reportedly coerced Ronnie into adopting one Christmas in an attempt to revive their marriage.
The Christmas kids were nothing but a gift
And love is a tower where all of us can live
Ronnie eventually filed for divorce from Phil Spector, citing irreconcilable differences. The singer later wrote in her 1990 memoir Be My Baby that she feared for her life during their marriage, and her mother helped her to escape from him. Louis and Gary Spector also accused their adopted father of engaging in likewise behavior towards them.
Love the pfp

@@MioClud he hacked my mams accounts and cancelled my birthday holiday. but it’s not as bad as the threats my family has received, we’re safer than before but since the police has no evidence the hacking was him or the threats was him he is still legally required to see his kids
THE SOUTH PARK EDITSS 😿😿
THEY BROKE ME
The joke was to dark, now he will never return…
Goodbye Lorax, We will miss you 😞
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
I'll know , i'll know
I READ THIS WHEN THE PART PLAYED
Super dark when you understand what that part means
AHHH NICE SPEED UP 😀👍
آرامش بخشه..
Meaning behind this song - trigger warning
This is about phill spector and ronnie. To sum it up phill was abusive to Ronnie and basically locked her in the house to prevent her from cheating. He adopted twins on Christmas as a gift to Ronnie and she didn’t like this very much. Phill was a big music artist, he worked with the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, and the ronnets (sorry if I spelt that wrong) which was the band that Ronnie was in. Ronnie and her band were also so popular they got the chance to work with the other bands I previously mentioned. After Phill and Ronnie married, he cut ronnie’s communication with those bands because they had men in them. With the children, phill used to lock them in rooms and left a bucket for them to use as a toilet.
I hope that the children are doing well, that phill sector rots in h3ll even though I don’t believe it, and r.i.p Ronnie.
Lyrics ☆
Ronnette, my dear, don't ever disappear
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 f☆cked up place behind
But I'll know, I'll know
I'll know, I'll know
I'll know, I'll know
I'll know, I'll know
Appearing unsightly, with devils inside me
If you ever try to leave me, I'll find you, Ronnie
If you ever try to leave me, I'll find you, Ronnie
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
Get me out of here
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
I'll know, I'll know
