Billie: opens her mouth
Blake: confused headbanging
also, you need to react to Bury a Friend. it's her visual masterpiece.
Here's what spiders mean in this video (and no, it's not just badassary!):
"You should see me in a crown" is a line that she's heard from James Moriarty in TV series 'Sherlock'. (Her visuals for this video in the concerts are James Moriarty and spiders.)
This is how Sherlock describes Moriarty in the show:
"James Moriarty isn't a man at all. He's a spider, a spider at the center of a web, criminal web with a thousand threads and he knows precisely how each and every single one of them dances."
This is originally written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle:
"He sits motionless, like a spider in the center of its web, but that web has a thousand radiations, and he knows well every quiver of each of them."
So, the spiders symbolize the character she's playing. She's basically talking about herself taking over the world, but understandably does it in character.
M H I’m glad I’m not the only one who assumed this!
@@whatiwasgoingtosay It's not an assumtion tho... She said it was from that show :D
She and Finneas get a lot of inspiration from TV shows and movies they watch. For another example, I think "WHEN I WAS OLDER," the song they wrote after watching the film ROMA, is a completely underrated Billie Eilish song. The effects in the song to make her sound under water are super cool. And, as usual, the lyrics and production are superb. It builds and builds.
@@jcompton8507 also in my strange addiction there are clips from the office in the actual song
I always looked at it like a very serious song about female emancipation. If she wore a crown it would be in the sense that female spiders dominate the males.
Female spiders often eat the males, inspite of or instead of sex. The ultimate matriarch.
Every woman at some point hears men hollering at her, adressing them as "their babies", think they can own them if they are pretty. If she/the character was in charge (wore a crown), those old possesive motherfuckers would suffer some reciprocity - and THAT would be pretty. This men's world is about to go down, the last sexists and misogonists are almost obsolete, it is a nothing town, she is going to run. Every male will bow, as she could just kill em all at any time if she felt like it.
On a more personal level, she might be confronting so she used to be with... (for whose ocean eyes she once fell) and she sometimes is having fantasies of revenge (watch me make em bow one by one). So eating him like all the other male would be her favorite thing to do (your silence is my favorite sound), he might be able to choose whether there will be sex before she eats/kills him, she does not even care (what is worse for you? living or dying first?).
To me the spiders had nothing to do with Moriaty from Sherlock Holmes, but with the traditional gender relationships, turned upside down to the extreme in that species.
Note what the crown signifies. Traditionally if a girl wears a crown, that crown usually does not come with power. The girl is a princess, pretty and soon to be married to give birth to the heir to the thrown. This woman wants the crown because she wants to make this world hers, she wants a kingdom and she wants to rule them all. Cruel or not.
Lol, I dont think anybody knows what to classify Billie as in terms of a genre.
I've heard a few
Anti-pop
Sad pop
Neo-punk-trap
Indy trap
And my favorite
"How the hell did this girl sing ocean eyes and bury a friend and make them both work? Shes a fucking musician-magician"
@@anarchyvixyn to me her music genre is Billie Eilish, she is in her own genre.
@M 40 it's funny, Bitches Broken Hearts is my favor and my lease favorite song.
I love the song but I hate that it's so short...like it needed another broken heart somewhere
@M 40 have you ever watched the live recordings of her shows? I love Midtown and Reading fests.
@M 40 Midtown is professional recorded. Whats interesting is it doesn't matter which recording you watch- none of them are prepared for Badguy. Also Austin City Limits just did a show like 3 weeks ago that was recorded and it made me laugh so hard. She was in a room with a bunch of parents that you could tell did not want to be there and she tried so hard to get them hyped.
This guy deserves more credit, he's not just a simple react. He reacts and dives deep into all assets of the song/video in his own opinions and assessments
I'm a metal head too and I absolutely love Billie and lots of other genres and seeing another metal head branching out makes me happy that people are becoming more open to different genres
That is bc billie want to have songs that everybody wold Like wit difrent tastes and difrend everything
@@marijanacvetkovic5797 From interviews I've watched from her, she is pretty anti-genre. She has said she hates being stuck in one particular box. Being a metalhead and punk fan, I find that badass.
Word! Same! Metal is my mother's milk but anything with good beats, lyrics and especially when it's a completely individual creature like they're writing, performing and driving the visuals!
It's interesting how she'll transcend so many genres and resonate with people that are so drastically different. I've seen a bunch of metalheads love her, a bunch of rappers .. oh and a british priest said she's one of the few artists where he's truly interested to see what she does next. Thom Yorke loves her, Dave Growl said she reminds him of Kurt Cobain. I have been a fan of hers since spring 2018, and it's so nice to see that her desire to not be restricted within one genre or age group has worked out.
I think you’ll love “Bellyache” by Billie Eilish as well. “Ocean Eyes” is the song her brother wrote & produced for either himself and his band at the time. Or for her dance teacher to use for a routine after Billie suffered a dance career ending injury when she was 12. Or little mixture of both. Ocean Eyes had over 1000 views and likes on SoundCloud the morning after recording and posting it that night. It’s the song that put Billie on the map at only 13yrs old. Both were written & recorded when she was between 12-15yrs old. BILLIE & FINNEAS ARE PURE TALENTS IN THEIR OWN SINGING AND PRODUCING AREAS OF EXPERTISE.
I really love watching other metalheads find and react to Billie Eilish. I dig her.
Everything I Wanted by Billie Eilish! I definitely recommend doing that one! The video digs DEEP.
"This would be terrible if you had arachnophobia," Looks over at Bowser's reaction pit reacting to this song....😂
Lol just came from that😂
dude I almost Puked When That Fucking Spider Came out of Her Mouth
the way you talk is so satisfying 😂 idk why it’s just so weird but like asmr
Duuuude he has like this cadence in the way he talks. I don't even know how to describe it. Buuuut I agree with you.
Same 😂
@@breespahr it's like he can be a speaker for radio or auctioning or somthing
He speaks pretty fast, fluid but at the same time with great pronunciation and content on his words
I think she said with a few of the music videos for this album, she wanted to play off of different phobias which might tie into the whole sleep paralysis theme of the album. Not sure how they connect, but I'm pretty sure she has said that.
I lived under a rock too apparently, for I only came to know about her like 2 weeks ago. "you should see me in a crown " was the first song that convinced me. I've become obsessed now, haha
All of the spider were real, and she did have the one in her mouth. She posted a behind the scenes video.

I love Billie, and I love spiders and tarantulas, I have 15 Ts and 26 spiders, but what she did is actually dangerous. New world, so anywhere in North or South America and the islands have urticating hairs. Those hairs have barbs in them and are very like fiber glass. It's their main defense. They kick them off. Now the ones she had, Grammastola pulchripes, or commonly known as the Chaco Golden Knee, are prob one of the most gentle Ts of them all. However, Tarantulas don't have a brain like us, they are super close to being blind, even with 8 eyes. They also will cannibalize, so that's why the one on her neck recoiled when it touched the other spider. So, those urticating hairs could have gotten in her mouth, throat, in her eyes, and could've made her blind. Now, I didn't see them kick any hairs off, but tarantulas can't be trained, so you can't fully trust them and they are so delicate. If one bit her, she wouldn't shaken it off and it's plump abdomen prob wouldn't burst when it hit the ground.
I'm a Metalhead too...and Billie is awesome! , please react to "I love you" , my favorite song from her.
This is only the second video of yours that I have seen, and mainly because it's Billie Eilish. Your reviews are so much better than most. This was very insightful. Geez, I might have to subscribe. 😁
First Billie Eilish I heard, really loved how industrial it sounded at times, this was the white rabbit that led me down the hole.
You should react to bury a friend video, and bad guy. You"ll have more visuals to analyze. They have a really unusual sound composition too. I really liked your reactions, and the life wisdom for free haha. Greetings from Paraguay-South America
The animated music video by takashi murakami for this song is DOPE. I highly recommend watching it, even just in your own time an not for a reaction. I really appreciate your angle of approach with reaction videos, definitely a fresh feel compared to all the others out there!
Eliza Walsh YES
I second this comment!
I really like listening to you. You have a really lovely energy. Great reaction! I love that you take the time to look at the lyrics. It can be really helpful to read them WHILE listening. For her, especially in the songs you haven't heard yet, the emotion in her voice is PART of the communication, so reading the word and hearing the emotion behind it at the same time really helps feel the song on a new level. Keep in mind if you continue to explore her music! You have yet to hear her best stuff in my opinion! (Even though everything she does is amazing on multiple levels)
Dude. I'm an extreme metal head. I play guitar in 4 bands. Two are touring national acts (nobody too crazy popular). I'm into Death/Grind/Tech/Prog metal genres. I fucking love Billie Eilish's music!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I follow quite a few reaction channels, and stumbled over your channel a few weeks ago, and yeah you might have less subscribers, but honestly you have alot more enjoyable and authentic content.
Reflection and perspective is an awesome thing, and you manage to portray that. Good job man.
Metalhead myself, and Billy Eilish managed to get under my skin as well.
I don’t know if this was intended, but the line, “You should see me in a crown,” is, I believe a reference to Moriarty from Sherlock. I always thought maybe the spiders were an extension of that, because Sherlock compares Moriarty to a spider at the center of a web of crime.
The song's title was inspired by a scene from the third episode of the second season of BBC television series Sherlock titled "The Reichenbach Fall," where the villain Jim Moriarty says the words "...honey, you should see me in a crown".
I love every atom and neuron of Billie Eilish. She is beautiful in lyrics, life, looks. She's just perfect
I am loving your reactions on Billie's music. You break them down the best of any youtuber I have ever watched so far.
It's a Sherlock reference. She explains it pretty well in this interview she did with Billboard: th-cam.com/video/Y_gPCVSJRso/w-d-xo.html
Also, I would strongly suggest the Takashi Murakame animated version of this video: th-cam.com/video/coLerbRvgsQ/w-d-xo.html
Ento Mologist - Thanks a ton for the recommendations! Gonna check them out. 🤗🥂
Thanks for what you said at 17:38. I needed that reminder.
Glad I subscribed 😁 I think you should check out a few other songs before the No Time To Die, and if you do wait it will be worth it I promise.
I would suggest:
Bury a friend
Xanny
All the good girls go to hell
My strange addiction- which doesnt have a video
Bellyache
Then do the no time to die live at the Brits.
She also has
Badguy which is the song she won Grammys for
And then if you want to see what got her started check out
Ocean Eyes
👍 great review man, glad you mentioned Rob Zombie because some metal fans thought it was insulting him. Even type o neg fans went berserk because she had their shirt on too.
All the spiders and videos are real. No CGI anywhere. Spiders are very closely connected to the crown if you read Sherlock Holmes. He describes the underworld character, Moriarity, as a spider who uses the web to alert to even the slightest disturbance. That part of Holme's description ends with Moriarty declaring "honey, you should see me in a crown."
edit: typos
Came for Billie react.
Staying for in depth critiques.
You're so real, man. You've earned a whole subscriber here. Looking forward to your content!
Lmao I love the way that he talks.
If he wasn’t a metal head he’d be a rapper. Homie talks fast
i love this. and i love that you speak so eloquently and intelligently. much respect
you should see her in concert, she jams out and mosh pits her songs...it is really incredible
This is the first video of yours I have seen and I have to say you are very engaging. I knew from the start I would enjoy your commentary on her video.
I really enjoyed this reaction and your insightful take on this video, Billie and people in general.
Aah, you made my day dude! Thanks!
General theme of the song and the video can both be summed up with one lyric from the song
"I'm okay, I'm not your baby, if you think I'm pretty you should see me in a crown"
She was 13 when Ocean Eyes dropped and people thought she was this "cute little teen pop star" in a way that came off as patronizing. This was her way of saying "fuck all that noise, I'm a badass and I'm going to own this town."
I was hooked by the same line, but I always understood it more literally about female emancipation. If she wore a crown it would be in sense that female spiders dominate the males.
Female spiders often eat the males, inspite of or instead of sex. The ultimate matriarch.
Every woman at some point hears men hollering at her, adressing them as "their babies", think they can own them if they are pretty. If she/the character was in charge (wore a crown), those old possesive motherfuckers would suffer some reciprocity - and THAT would be pretty. This men's world is about to go down, the last sexists and misogonists are almost obsolete, it is an ancient order (with marble walls), a nothing town, she is going to run (with blood). Every male will bow, as she could just kill em all at any time if she felt like it.
On a more personal level, she might be confronting so she used to be with... (for whose ocean eyes she once fell) and she sometimes is having fantasies of revenge (watch me make em bow one by one). So eating him like all the other male would be her favorite thing to do (your silence is my favorite sound), he might be able to choose whether there will be sex before she eats/kills him, she does not even care (what is worse for you? living or dying first?).
To me the spider metaphor broke with the traditional gender relationships, turned upside down to the extreme in that species.
Note what the crown signifies. Traditionally if a girl wears a crown, that crown usually does not come with power. The girl is a princess, pretty and soon to be married to give birth to the heir to the thrown. This woman wants the crown because she wants to make this world hers, she wants a kingdom and she wants to rule them all. Cruel as it may seem, the male spiders are sex partners and prey, tolerated by natural indifference of the female. Until they get hungry.
I just stumbled across your video man and I have to say I really enjoy your energy you put in your video. All the best for you and your channel bro 🤟
As a metalhead, I can guarantee you you'll appreciate Bury a Friend a LOT more. Serious horror vibes similar to the Shining and the Ring.
You’ll love the bury a friend video, it was directed by Michael Chaves who also directed the newest conjuring film and the curse of la llorona
Love it... Love her... Thanks man
This song could be an excellent metal cover by the right band! Type O Negative could have done an amazing job!
Just found you and I adore you 👌🏻
She doesn't classify herself in any particular genre. Love your genuine reaction. I'm both metal and hip hop head. So you'll never be alone on this. Your new sub, Aloha 🤙🏽🌈
i consider Billie an variety singer. she obviously has her style. but i see a lot of different types of music coming together in her music.
A band called Emil Bulls did a cover of this song thats really good. One of my favorite bands from Germany
Rob Zomdie actually did a cover of one of her songs and it blew me away but as i say that society also needs to know that this teenager has done this her way from the start and yes that has not been done yet by an ARTIST! that i know of in my 52 yrs of the music industry. She has an astonishing team behind her 110% and her brother Finneas has said he will not allow another producer to try and convince her to go with another producer unless thats what Billie wants so yes i too grew up on all types of music genres but billie and finneas keep it real please and don't get caught up in the bullshit music industry. And thanks bro for your channel i dig it i dig your ho esty and yes i did subscribe!!!
all the good girls good to hell plz I would love to your reaction
I love her so much, her music is different and her style, I love that she doesn’t care what people think about her. Yeah that’s a real spider that came out of her mouth.
React to her music video called ocean eyes too, and her song lovely it’s so good too.
I rly love the video for "everything I wanted"
Enjoyed your observations - you are a deep thinker, hitting on every level, and I appreciate what you have to say. This is my first time listening to you and I was happy that you are genuine in wanting to immerse yourself in something new. I learned of Billie from my daughter and I appreciate her creativity. I wanted to mention that part of Billie's appeal is her live versions, in that they are half art and half audience participation songs. This one in particular - check out a live version th-cam.com/video/LG_u7N66N0w/w-d-xo.html so much energy. No wonder she always has her legs and feet taped. I will check you out again! Thanks man!
Dude your beard is amazing 😍
Why does your voice give me chills
You should also check out her video for All The Good Girls Go To Hell.
I heart people like you. #metalheadsunite
What i get mostly from the song, especially my favorite part is when she says ''I'm okay, I'm not your baby...and if you think I'm pretty....You should see me in a crown''. Then of course the spider comes out her mouth, what I personally think and feel is people in general thinking you are this kind and gentle person that you cannot do anything and you are below them, especially coming into the music industry or something new in life in general. But when the spider comes out her mouth it shows that she's more dangerous than she looks and doesn't wanted to be belittled. It's like saying ''don't think because i am young and new, that I can't do something explosive to this industry''.

The first time I saw that musicvideo I tossed my phone into the wall out of fear, I was NOT prepared. I have arachnophobia. I still screamed a little now, even though I´ve seen it many times before. I like the video but my body just automatically reacts to the spiders.
I really like you. As a person. Haha and I say that after watching half of this video. You seem like such a nice person 👍 and I like how you interpret her song. Instant sub 👍
You should totally review "All The Good Girls Go to Hell"
You can see his heart fall out of his ass when the spider crawled out her mouth. 😂
Bury A Friend and Xzanny for sure!
There is an animated version of this song by Japanese animator/artist Takeshi Murakame that is really wild.
Dude, we love your channel my friend. We see your true self. Very passionate and honest. Just keep being yourself. That's why I follow you my metal friend! \m/
my opinion billie is punk hop metal, there's a howard stern interview you should see, the whole family is there, they talk about how they didn't ever praise her or tell her they were proud of her, they wanted her to find her value in herself not in others, it's great you said that, she has a lifetime of being proud of herself in her album. great review. new to your page. enjoyed this review
There is a really cool Animated video for this song as well.
Fun fact: She got that high pitched drill sound in the background from a dentist appointment she had and recorded on voice memos lol
thats for bury a friend :)
I love metal and all kinds of music! Brock Hampton is a weird rap group with very emotional music. Be great to see you do a reaction to one of their songs.
Also, I agree that the tarantulas (sorry if I spelled it wrong, english is my second language) are the least scary. I feel like they are more like a small pet... But the smaller, chunky ones *PUKE*
People rarely mention to react to xanny by Billie but if appreciate music you really need too
also try Ocean Eyes (her first song...ballad) and Bellyache....Like many in your comment said - she does not fall into a genre...great reaction ...new sub here
6:25 the one on her chin was like "shes scary, im out"
She has a pet tarantula. She loves them so this shoot wasn't a big deal for her lol
What is song of intro?
Can you react to All the Good Girls go to Hell and Bury a Friend?
I would highly recommend the music video for Bury A Friend, it's really interesting.
I've seen a lot of people describe her style as "anti-pop", which is how I tend to describe it.
You should watch Bury a friend. such a great video/song
Loved this reaction! :)
Interesting to see these instances on TH-cam where unlikely segments of the music loving population try other kinds of music. Young black men hearing classic rock for the first time, and Heavy Metal heads listening to Billy Eilish.
Sopor Aeternus - Beautiful Thorn
Love how people feel the need to explain the meaning without looking to see if anyone (usually many people) has already done it 😂
I didn’t discover her until a couple years ago and it’s not in my “usual wheelhouse” either, but her and Finneas are amazing and he’s a GENIUS producer!
Katie B well it’s supposed to be HIS reaction, not someone else’s....
Did you react to the animated MTV version?
love your reviews! have you seen the song Tag your it by melenie martinez?
I’m just gonna say this
I get sooo scred at house spiders but with this I dont get scred at at these big ass spiders when billies holding them 😂
Xanny is a great video as well.
she has a anime ver of this vid as well
you should react to Billie's "bury a friend"! :)
Dude I Almost Puked When That Fucking Spider Came Out of Her Mouth
You look so much like my husband that I feel in love and have to shake myself;
" you only like and know this dude for his content and character, calm down"
😅
you could react to the video of this song that she made with Takashi Murakami!!!
It's an animation with a visual storytelling and IS SICKKKK
Im only afraid of spiders when I'm not drunk. I used to have a black widow as a pet and would play with her when I was drunk. She never bit me and still had her fangs and venom
I used to go to cozumel with my parents in my teens and when I'd get drunk and I would pick up wild tarantulas that came inside the resort and carry them outside to the jungle trees
The spider in her mouth is real!! 🔥🔥
I think metal and hip-hop, at least this kind of pop, have a lot in common. The sounds that make you move and nod your head are virtually the same just one with electronic drums/bass and the other with real distortion guitar/bass/drums. But the chugs, breakdowns and the beats in this stuff all make you want to move the same.
I would say the beat in this song is closer to trap than anything else.
You should check Billie Eilish Bury a friend!
I'm extremely late to this but have you ever heard of SOPHIE? That "electronically aggressive" thing - you should check out the videos for Faceshopping or Ponyboy, you might dig it
Would love to see you react to some Melanie Martinez - "Soap" or "Mad Hatter". I was very 'we are the rock kids' for a LOOOOOONG time and she's one of the more recent pop artists that made me branch out more actively than occasionally passively hearing a more pop-py song and thinking "eh, not bad I suppose"
You probably get this all the time but you look exactly like Bam Margera! Its uncanny
