      So glad to see you back and feeling better! When you sort of dropped off the face of the earth, I figured it was probably COVID or something personal but didn't wanna pester. I'm just really happy to see you back! :D

      Welcome back! When the Outtakes dropped one of my first thoughts after finishing, aside from how good they were, was "wow I hope Chris reacts to these when he gets back"

      I'm glad to see you back! 😊 Taking such a long hiatus after announcing an infection with a potentially deadly disease was a peculiar and worrisome choice… 😉
      I haven't seen the Inside Outtakes yet so I've got to find time for that before watching your reaction to it. 😄

    I’d say there’s symbolism here. Once he sets up the loop, he tries to stop them but he can’t - they just keep telling him that they know him. So, he plays music to drown them out and they start getting quieter - he’s shutting them out. But they still don’t go away. So instead he embraces them and uses them to make his content.

  • @eebilu

    A little detail I love about this song is when he starts adding instruments on top of the loop the words get quieter and quieter, like he's drowning them out with his art. Makes me think that he probably started making music all those years ago to get away from these things. His ability to turn his pain and things that have been used to hurt him into his art is what makes Bo truly special.
    Welcome back Chris! You're my favorite reactor on the platform, watching other people react to Bo and just not get it (especially out of context All Eyes On Me reactions) has made me really miss seeing you 😭

  • @TheDaringPastry1313
    @TheDaringPastry1313 2 ปีที่แล้ว +52

    I see this as the comments and criticisms will never stop, but performing nullifies them some. He tried to stop them by waving his hands, but they just continued. As he starts performing, you can hear them start to be drowned out around 13:16 some into the next transition. So him being creative helps him cope with the hatred he receives from people.

    • @ChrisReactsToThings
      @ChrisReactsToThings  2 ปีที่แล้ว +10

      Very interesting take. I totally agree!

    • @jonadesacco9478
      @jonadesacco9478 2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      When he's changing the pitch of the comments, he's basically taking control of the things said to/about him and in the last part it's him taking all these comments and criticisms and using them to create more art.
      So its going from trying to stop the hate (even with force when he's punching the dude), to trying to drown it out with the music, to taking control of it and finally using it for something good.

    7:45 yeah your right. I’m 17 so Gen Z. We are the first generation to be born into social media, which ultimately exposed us to things such as politics and patriarchy etc. We get given labels due to our age, such as only being interested is “sugary cereals”, when in reality we are arguably the most aware of the harmful shit that older generations have caused. That’s why we love Bo so much, he challenges the form of society and has a voice to call out shit that we frankly aren’t allowed to.

    • @kzbw
      @kzbw ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I completely agree with literally everything you said.
      The fact that you chose "only interested in sugary cereals" as an example of what older people think of your generation, shows that you're just as disconnected with the older generations as they are with you. Sugary cereal hasn't been on the top 20 list of "what's wrong with the kids these days" for at least a decade.

  • @moni13000
    @moni13000 2 ปีที่แล้ว +43

    This is truly one of my favorite Bo songs and I feel even one of his more creative. There’s so much he doesn’t say outright that he says through performance. We can hear the voices of his haters and people who want to take advantage of him at the beginning but this song is just about how he’s learned to cope with it. At first he just hears those words over and over in his head. He even hears the “devil”, the terrible thoughts that must spark in his own mind when he dwells on this stuff. And silence when he looks for help from above. It’s a lonely place and it brings him down. So when he’s finally heard enough he signals them to stop, but the voices just keep repeating. Cause now they’re no longer outside; they’re in his own head and he can’t shut them out.
    So he sits down and writes a song. He figuratively and literally drowns out the voices with his music. The voices fade and he becomes fully involved in his song to the point where he can finally go back to those same voices and quite literally change their tune- He auto tuned their voices in the song and made those ridiculous opinions a part of his act. And his ability to do that made him a rock star.
    Of course we know he still struggled with this. But I believe he used his music to cope and this was him showing that. He’s just genius at what he does.
