Funnily, Billie Eilish did put Nine Inch Nail’s “Closer” on her playlist called “The Billie Eilish Takeover” on Amazon Music and she talked about why she loves the track. So, it could be an inspiration sonically for “NDA”. I’m also reminded of the electronic bands Chromatics and Crystal Castles when hearing this track.
@Nathan Landfried Just because artists take inspiration from each other it doesn't make it stealing. Every artist does it, whether it's intentional or not. It's also possible Billie has never even seen the Clouds MV and happened to have a similar idea. Great minds can think alike.
@Nathan Landfried I still have to disagree. Here's the difference I see: Clouds: NF is casually walking down the middle of a busy highway, cars driving towards him and swerving off the road. This symbolizes him going against the grain of what's popular, causing the industry to shake up and stop in its tracks. NDA: Billie is standing in the middle of the road with a group of people secretly following her in the background. They then disappear and cars with bright headlights are seen in the background speeding towards her. They then pass her close by and start circling her. This symbolizes two different things. First, the people behind her represent the pressure of fame figuratively and literally following close behind her secretly. And second, the cars with bright headlights also represent the pressure of fame, but in this case making itself very known, with all the lights on her, while having the feeling of being completely trapped in it. I can see why you would think the NDA shot is a direct copy to Clouds, due to the same kind of idea being used in both shots, but messages being conveyed from them are very different.
Single shot. 25 stunt drivers. No body double. Art. Think about this perspective: Early in her career her song Bellyache was shot on a stretch of desert road. Billie dressed in yellow in the bright desert sunlight. This video: back on a stretch of desert road. Now it's night. Now Billie's in black. Danger and tension surrounds her. She, along with Finneas, are artists. This is artistic vision.
I've been "binge" watching every video that Billie Eilish has done...and I love her new sound. I can't wait to see what this young lady and her brother are doing next!!! Finneas is brilliant as co-producer of her music. I'm looking forward to more reactions from you!! Might I suggest an acapello group, Pentatonix, with covers such as Sound of Silence, Bohemian Rhapsody, Imagine and Halleluhah. They have also several originals to check out too!! Another artist I love is Aurora. She is from Norway, is passionate about her music in a way I've never seen. I believe Billie Eilish mentioned her music as inspiration for her directly. Food for Thought!!!
Thanks for doing this! It's my fav song from her so far... verses talking about how she's dealing with having power now... the chorus kinda harkens back to a relationship where she felt powerless (you hit me so hard, I saw stars) yet her voice is belting/yelling out with a pulsing bass... there's a live version with real bass and drums that hits harder too if possible!!
You've got to make yourself a certified Billie fan and react to the full When We All Fall Asleep Where Do We Go album before the new album drops. Also, nice call on the Closer by NIN reference. Now I can't stop hearing it.
I was like are people feeling this hit like me? I can't even say anything, was like GG vibes for my soul Lol.🎯Crazy. So good to see you feeling this and your comments!! Fire! Excited for the album reaction too, thanks🙂
She literally has a stalker in early 2020 right after Covid lockdown started who went from New York to San Diego and then found her house and knocked on her front door and her dad told him to leave after he asked for her and he refused and he just sat down on the porch and started talking to himself and reading a book so security ran him off and he came back and stayed across the street and made gestures of slicing his throat and yelling obscenities and then came back on the property and tried to camp out by her fence they ran them off again and he came back a total of seven times in that one day so they finally had to call the police because he was getting so vulgar and threatening her life and when the police got there and arrested him they asked him why he was even there and he said he’s Satan and he was there to meet her that he needs to talk to her and they granted a three-year restraining order so he’s not allowed anywhere near her property he’s not allowed anywhere near her or any of her shows or anything like that and they had to blur out her house on all GPS mapping systems and they had to remove her address from all GPS mapping systems and now for her safety and security anytime somebody comes to her house or her parents house or her brothers house or anything with her it’s a private event for friends and family only they have to sign an NDA saying they will not show any pictures videos or speak of what has happened and the line about you couldn’t save me but you can’t let me go is about her family and her security team that she has because they couldn’t save her from having somebody show up at her house and stalking her but they also can’t let her go because they feel even more attached and even more protective
She’s so fire! I first really heard her stuff about 6 months after she released the first album in 2019; been a big fan since. So much talent! I’m ready for her album today!
All these people in here talking about her stealing this idea from nf. NF isn’t the only person to use cars. And she probably doesn’t even know who NF is and I’m an NF fan.
And it gets better because there's 3 references to names of other singles in the album. -''Didn't change my Number'', "Getting Older" & My Future. The song is 🔥
So it was all done in one take on an iPhone 12 promax with 25 pro stunt drivers and all real no stunt doubles no CGI Billie is actually in there and there’s video on her Instagram of the behind scenes with her team and her mom sitting in the trailer watching them film it and watching how close the cars get to her and freaking out but it’s true Billie fashion she does not like anything fake
I’ve operated a road sweeper and it can be hard see your surroundings but you can still see and understand your surroundings when your running your equipment aka vehicle in this video as long as your a good operator which also means operator of a vehicle so it’s perfect 🔥 I loved this
When you said eerie like the lake I was like “hey I live near there” 😂 I feel like her album is going to be best way to get through the second half of summer.
Closer by Nine Inch Nails btw ;) Yes she's out there with real cars. One take actually. They have a behind the scene video of her filming this. Worth a quick watch.
you are correct, the song transitions into Therefore I Am which is the next song after NDA in the album, but the cars are 100% real and not effects. this was taken in one shot with 25 professional stunt drivers, Billie is a legend
Here’s a link to the behind the scenes film of the cars zipping by her and her mom freaking out. Billie directs all her videos now and does her own stunts. She only uses cgi when it’s absolutely necessary. There’s no cgi here. Enjoy! th-cam.com/video/Rm3miHp98Ag/w-d-xo.html
And here NF's behind the scenes videong Clouds released a couple months ago doing the same exact thing just during the day 😉 www.bing.com/search?q=nf+clouds+behinld+the+scenes&form=WNSGPH&qs=SW&cvid=c5755d1b18cd44349a592ccecd1bbf15&pq=nf+clouds+behinld+the+scenes&cc=US&setlang=en-US&PC=HCTS&nclid=7383002AC81FB12285A2435A162BE089&ts=1627288062342&wsso=Moderate&shtp=GetUrl&shid=dd46a092-6a5e-4558-959a-4562a57f37dc&shtk=TkYgLSBDTE9VRFMgW0JFSElORCBUSEUgU0NFTkVTXQ%3D%3D&shdk=TkYgcG9zdGVkIHRoaXMgYmVoaW5kIHRoZSBzY2VuZXMgc25pcHBldCBvbiBUd2l0dGVyIGFuZCBhbHNvIHJlcGxpZWQgdG8gbXkgdHdlZXQhISEgVGhhbmsgeW91IGd1eXMgc28gbXVjaCBmb3Igd2F0Y2hpbmchIEJlIHN1cmUgdG8gZHJvcCBhIGxpa2UsIGhpdCB0aGF0IHN1YnNjcmliZSBidXR0b24sIGFuZCB0dXJuIG9uIG5vdGlmaWNhdGlvbnMgdG8gc3RheSB1cCB0byBkYXRlIHdpdGggYWxsIHRoaW5ncyBORiEgTXkgUGF0cmVvbiAtIGh0dHBzOi8vd3d3LnBhdHJlb24uY29tL2lzYWFjbGV2ZXJlbnogTXkgU29jaWFsIE1lZGlhIEluc3RhZ3JhbSBAaXNhYWNsZXZlcmVueiBUd2l0dGVyIC4uLg%3D%3D&shhk=%2Fj%2F9iW%2Bc2a1khbEB9VBoKBPC6eMX4Qur84SK2x59Xqc%3D&shth=OVP.7hZAj6inhfPlFuhGJoVSFAHgFo
Also last thing I love how you mentioned her vocals and her voice at the end go watch her sing this song live it is incredible she actually sings it in a higher notes live and you can hear the vocals a little more and it’s mine
This is all real AND one shot!! She released some bts if you wanna check it out. Imagine all the work and training she and all the drivers had to do before shooting it, that shit is crazy.
I really hope that you will make some reaction videos on her album "When we all fall asleep where do we go" bcs it has some CRAZY videos, melody and lyrics! I'm patiently waiting 😁
Billie and Finneas both will only use cgi if the stunt is an actual impossibility. Like the fire on her wings in "ATGGGTH". So much respect for that. So many other artists are all for the fx because they got the budget to cover it. That's cool, no hate. But I'd much rather watch a video with actual stunts and cool camera lens/smoke and mirror tricks, if that makes sense. Great video. It's so fun to watch another person love and respect the same person you do.
They don't have anyone else on their tracks producing music. She's done a couple vocal collabs but all the music, synths, effects, whatever are all down to Finneas and Billie.
Please react to the new Dave album. Heart attack off of that record is genuinely one of the most impactful and greatest songs in UK history. This isn't an exaggeration.
And fun fact: Video was shot in one take, the cars rushing past her are 100% real and there's nothing edited in (Stunt Wise)
😲 That Is Amazing!!!! WOW. She has always been All-In on every video. Mad Respect to you Billie 💯^_^ soo good!
NF CLOUDS ROAD SCENE VIBES
@@matthewkimani5367 as soon as the cars came in I was like, "This is %100 a replica of the Clouds video.". lol
@@bryanuselton2544 gotta think she listens to nf with that video
She posted a video in her IG where her mom and team were so nervous with the cars going around her cause it is real, she’s crazy lol
Billie is seriously crazy. Crazy talented and crazy brave. And crazy good.
not the first artist to do it either, the dedication some artists have is wild and im here for it.
She unfortunately did have a stalker who literally camped outside her house and she had to get a restraining order
Yes
The beat at the end is the start of Therefore I Am. Perfect transition.
One take shot. Everything is real.
Also the song transitions into the song therefore I am!
Great reaction. More Billie reactions please
You HAVE to do her album "when we all fall asleep where do we go" if you like how dark she is. Especially the music videos
Funnily, Billie Eilish did put Nine Inch Nail’s “Closer” on her playlist called “The Billie Eilish Takeover” on Amazon Music and she talked about why she loves the track. So, it could be an inspiration sonically for “NDA”.
I’m also reminded of the electronic bands Chromatics and Crystal Castles when hearing this track.
I'm suprised he didn’t get NF - Clouds MV vibe from this, this is literally the night version of that MV's last part
@Nathan Landfried Just because artists take inspiration from each other it doesn't make it stealing. Every artist does it, whether it's intentional or not. It's also possible Billie has never even seen the Clouds MV and happened to have a similar idea. Great minds can think alike.
@@GereldTheCat I agree, but the shot is almost the exact same as NF’s, so idk...
@Nathan Landfried I still have to disagree. Here's the difference I see:
Clouds: NF is casually walking down the middle of a busy highway, cars driving towards him and swerving off the road. This symbolizes him going against the grain of what's popular, causing the industry to shake up and stop in its tracks.
NDA: Billie is standing in the middle of the road with a group of people secretly following her in the background. They then disappear and cars with bright headlights are seen in the background speeding towards her. They then pass her close by and start circling her. This symbolizes two different things. First, the people behind her represent the pressure of fame figuratively and literally following close behind her secretly. And second, the cars with bright headlights also represent the pressure of fame, but in this case making itself very known, with all the lights on her, while having the feeling of being completely trapped in it.
I can see why you would think the NDA shot is a direct copy to Clouds, due to the same kind of idea being used in both shots, but messages being conveyed from them are very different.
The idea is not that complicated... very much possible they had it both. The concept behind the idea is differemt, however
The way the cars start swinging around at the end makes it even more suspicious that she took inspiration from NF - Clouds MV
Single shot. 25 stunt drivers. No body double. Art. Think about this perspective: Early in her career her song Bellyache was shot on a stretch of desert road. Billie dressed in yellow in the bright desert sunlight. This video: back on a stretch of desert road. Now it's night. Now Billie's in black. Danger and tension surrounds her. She, along with Finneas, are artists. This is artistic vision.
i didnt realize it was from bellyache
There’s a video on billie’s IG of the making of the music video! you can see her mum freaking out while the cars rushed past billie. It was all real 💯
I've been "binge" watching every video that Billie Eilish has done...and I love her new sound. I can't wait to see what this young lady and her brother are doing next!!! Finneas is brilliant as co-producer of her music. I'm looking forward to more reactions from you!! Might I suggest an acapello group, Pentatonix, with covers such as Sound of Silence, Bohemian Rhapsody, Imagine and Halleluhah. They have also several originals to check out too!! Another artist I love is Aurora. She is from Norway, is passionate about her music in a way I've never seen. I believe Billie Eilish mentioned her music as inspiration for her directly. Food for Thought!!!
Omg i have been trying to remember that NIN song since i heard this song for the first time. THANK YOU!!!
they're real cars lmaooo, i was shook when i found out, but she posted bts clips of her mom freaking out while they were shooting the scenes
Everything in her videos is 100% authentic, just like everything she sings about.
0:00 it’s the nigga denzel comin out of the zuu
She’s a NF fan for sure !!! Lol
Yup
she actually was in the middle of the road while the cars passed by her!
Looveeee Billie reacts! Can't wait for Friday on Twitch 🤘🏻
Thanks for doing this! It's my fav song from her so far... verses talking about how she's dealing with having power now... the chorus kinda harkens back to a relationship where she felt powerless (you hit me so hard, I saw stars) yet her voice is belting/yelling out with a pulsing bass... there's a live version with real bass and drums that hits harder too if possible!!
Billie is also the director of this video
Love it thanku so much amazing breakdown as,always much love and God bless x
Have not heard the complete song yet but the way you just go deep into it explaining each n every detail makes me all excited to watch your reviews.
You've got to make yourself a certified Billie fan and react to the full When We All Fall Asleep Where Do We Go album before the new album drops. Also, nice call on the Closer by NIN reference. Now I can't stop hearing it.
I was like are people feeling this hit like me? I can't even say anything, was like GG vibes for my soul Lol.🎯Crazy. So good to see you feeling this and your comments!! Fire! Excited for the album reaction too, thanks🙂
the cars are real she posted it on her ig. all her stunts are real in her mvs

Love your reactions to Billie. I was waiting for this one 🔥
I thought NIN too 😂 that’s hella funny. She’s growing on me thanks to your channel, best on TH-cam 🙏 keep pushing bro!
Haven't fully listened to the song yet but I'm hype for your review
This was done in one take with no cgi. Billie directed it.
NIN - “closer”
All these people in here talking about her stealing this idea from nf. NF isn’t the only person to use cars. And she probably doesn’t even know who NF is and I’m an NF fan.
Fr.....ISWHATIMSAYIN lmao
yup she really did this with NO STUNTS. she posted a video on IG with her mom flipping out lol!!!
Im obsessed with her and this album is 10/10. She directed this. She’s unstoppable
This video REALLY reminds me of Bat For Lashes 'What's A Girl To Do?' Same creepy night-time-on-the-road-being-followed vibe.
Finally!! Been waiting for a reaction not twitch related since I usually watch live! 😂👌🏼
And it gets better because there's 3 references to names of other singles in the album. -''Didn't change my Number'', "Getting Older" & My Future. The song is 🔥
My favorite song on the album so far
So it was all done in one take on an iPhone 12 promax with 25 pro stunt drivers and all real no stunt doubles no CGI Billie is actually in there and there’s video on her Instagram of the behind scenes with her team and her mom sitting in the trailer watching them film it and watching how close the cars get to her and freaking out but it’s true Billie fashion she does not like anything fake
idk if you knew but twenty one pilots released their saturday music vid recently!
The song ends with the “therefore I am” beat because NDA leads into “therefore I am” on the new album
Yes, this is real. Like the cars are going around her😂
Love the instrumental on this 🙌🏾
I’ve operated a road sweeper and it can be hard see your surroundings but you can still see and understand your surroundings when your running your equipment aka vehicle in this video as long as your a good operator which also means operator of a vehicle so it’s perfect 🔥 I loved this
When you said eerie like the lake I was like “hey I live near there” 😂 I feel like her album is going to be best way to get through the second half of summer.
The “I saw stars” part was about how someone used to hit her so hard to where she saw stars and yes the cars were 100000% real
Closer by Nine Inch Nails btw ;) Yes she's out there with real cars. One take actually. They have a behind the scene video of her filming this. Worth a quick watch.
That pulsing feeling in this song reminds me of Travis Scott's The Plan. This song's a masterpiece.
I wasn't into Billie but now I am.
Exactly what I said when I first heard this. It reminded me of NIN's Closer.
The drops on this song is so great. I feel bad cuz she got some hate for this song, but I love it
yess been waiting for this, the cars are real btw she posted bts on her insta
There is a behind the scene video showing the cameras very close to her, and yes, the cars are driving around her the entire time!!!
By the way, the fall was not planned. She really fell but went with it. Thanks fo the review, I love your enthusiasm.
you are correct, the song transitions into Therefore I Am which is the next song after NDA in the album, but the cars are 100% real and not effects. this was taken in one shot with 25 professional stunt drivers, Billie is a legend
Omg i looooveeeee his reaction
You can watch behind the scenes of NDA, the car scene were real, you can see her mother freaking out thinking she is going to get hurt.
Are you still planning on doing a reaction to her first LP?
Being a billie stan and og xo has made me very happy lately
It's all real no fake here go watch the behind the scenes her mom was watching everything.
The line is You hit me so hard, I saw stars. First some reason no one comments on that line.
This is going to track into Therefore I Am. And yes, it's all practical. Her mom was seriously worried sitting in the van on the side of the road.
She really did have a stalker. I believe she got one of those protection orders where the person can’t go near her house.
This transitions into therefore I am
SHE DOES ALL HER OWN STUNTS!!! this was real cars driving infront of her one take!!
Here’s a link to the behind the scenes film of the cars zipping by her and her mom freaking out. Billie directs all her videos now and does her own stunts. She only uses cgi when it’s absolutely necessary. There’s no cgi here. Enjoy!

With all the cars it's like clouds with NF too
Hahah totally got nine inch vibes 😂
It goes into therefore I am!
🤩Great Reaction!!!! 😊
Also last thing I love how you mentioned her vocals and her voice at the end go watch her sing this song live it is incredible she actually sings it in a higher notes live and you can hear the vocals a little more and it’s mine
the song your talking about is Closer from Nine Inch Nails
Okay Ernest, we want Better Believe reaction now 😪💙
The curtains are lookin fye Ernest
are we all just gonna ignore “eerie like the lake”
Hah ha, felt like facts though! Having been close to that lake, ngl, can't be described with any better name than just Erie! ;p
All the cars and stunts she does are real
listen to her debut album when we all fall asleep where do we go before her new one comes out
This is all real AND one shot!! She released some bts if you wanna check it out. Imagine all the work and training she and all the drivers had to do before shooting it, that shit is crazy.
Yessssza.. another earnest review from u.. 💕
Lets remember NF did this first! He should get some credit
It also reminded me of Closer by Nine Inch Nails especially at the end.
I really hope that you will make some reaction videos on her album "When we all fall asleep where do we go" bcs it has some CRAZY videos, melody and lyrics! I'm patiently waiting 😁
It goes into therefore I am
This is not vfx it's real stunt
You gotta listen to her debut album.
Awesome, are you going to react to When We All Fall Asleep? It's an experience!
Mr.Ernest I need you to get on the new Dave album - We're all alone in this together. From the UK and my favorite artist, you will not be disappointed
Bruh where’s the Better Believe reaction with The Weeknd, Belly, and Thug?
There’s a whole segment on her Instagram about shooting the scene with her falling and the cars driving by
instagram.com/p/CRIVqWLLLPd/?
You gotta get on the Royce and Lupe beef! It’s 🔥 🔥 🔥
Billie and Finneas both will only use cgi if the stunt is an actual impossibility. Like the fire on her wings in "ATGGGTH". So much respect for that. So many other artists are all for the fx because they got the budget to cover it. That's cool, no hate. But I'd much rather watch a video with actual stunts and cool camera lens/smoke and mirror tricks, if that makes sense.
Great video. It's so fun to watch another person love and respect the same person you do.
I believe the bass was done by Flea!
They don't have anyone else on their tracks producing music. She's done a couple vocal collabs but all the music, synths, effects, whatever are all down to Finneas and Billie.
Finally...!!
Who you got in Rd 1? Royce or Lupe? it’s on 🔥
Please react to the new Dave album. Heart attack off of that record is genuinely one of the most impactful and greatest songs in UK history. This isn't an exaggeration.
yoo you reacting to Royce and Lupe fiasco beef, Royce threw the first one out Lupe responded 7hours ago
Soooooo good
How have you not reacted to The Weeknd feature that just dropped🤬
React to The Weeknd with belly
