Lol, I don't know who told you this was upbeat, but hey... I love this one. It's both gracefully beautiful and violently jarring as hell .... kinda like hockey! Also the first video she ever directed. FTR, Billie doesn't touch drugs or alcohol (or meat and dairy!)
This song was extremely hard for Billie to sing, especially the ending where there is no music and she sighs heavily. It’s because she had just gotten the news that one of her dear friends had been murdered but she needed to finish recording the song due to pressure to get the record finalized, that ending bit when she sighed was because she was crying during the recording and trying to keep it together. Finneas thought it was an absolutely beautiful take and kept it in, even though she was absolutely devastated. It was ironic that she was singing about how hard it was to be friends with and love people who care for their lives so little that they risked OD’ing and killing themselves, only to be told mid recording that someone she loved had been murdered. Xanny was also the first music video Billie had directed herself.
@Minlaroo The friend was rapper xxxtentacion, he was murdered in June of 2018. He and Billie were really close, it wasn’t anything romantic, they were just good friends.
One of my favorite video covers Billie and Finnease did, "End of the World" bbc radio sessions, is amazing. Another one to check out, "Billie Bosa Nova", so seductive.
Thanks for reacting to Xanny it’s one of my favorites songs from her, i recommend ya’ll “ No Time to Die “ by her it’s a song that won an Oscar. ( sorry for my bad English it’s not my first language )
I liked the line "to inebriated to feel scared.". For me, I took it 2 ways: 1. Xanax is a benzodiazapine drug used to treat certain anxiety or panic disorders. So they are supposed to "make you feel less anxious/scared.". However as with all drugs they come with side effects, the idea is the positive effects should out way the negative effects. 2. Abuse of these drugs can have serious side effects (Billie points out a few). And can ruin the lives of those involved, both the person taking the drug and their friends and family. As with all substances, " the dose makes the poison.". Great reaction, guys, as always
SO happy to see you guys get to this one!! this is one of my favorite things billie does sometimes, using the effects in the song to create an oppressive, smothering atmosphere, her own version of "second-hand smoke". it's brilliant and i can't get enough of it.
In the documentary There were scenes where her label people were pushing back on this, kind of saying she shouldn't put out an anti drug song for fear she might regret it later on. Maggie was right there saying it's Billie's vision and that's what they are going with.
Please react to “COPYCAT” and “my boy” and “bitches broken hearts” by Billie Eilish!! I would die for this, have been watching you guys for months now and been waiting for these🙏🙏🙏
Who on earth told you this had a happy vibe or thing going for it... even the bass is there to make you feel uncomfortable in the chorus. There's a lot of depth, and Xanny is another name for Xanax which i believe is a strong anti-anxiety pill that people often take to either get high on or numb the pain, but also people commonly overdose on it...
@@LilBit1270 The beat is what I love about Xanny. I mean, I love the meaning of the song,but I like the juxtaposition between the slow,softness at the beginning and then the heavy beat. Billie & Finneas do that often in many of her songs.
If you are looking for a real upbeat Billie song i would definitely recommend "my boy" This song has just got such a different vibe... Really great to hear
please react to "guess" with charli xcx and billie, that one certainly isn't sad lol. also it would be fun if you reacted to some of her live performances!
In the Billie doc, her mom yells at her about this song. She told Billie that, when she grows up, she's gonna do drugs & drink & make mistakes...& so people are gonna call her a hypocrite for this song. Billie looked her mom dead in the eye (at 16yo) & said fuck it, this is how I feel about it right now so I'm gonna express myself & fuck everyone else. & her mom backed off.
It's not her Mum, it's someone in Billies management team who says she might not have the same stance. It's her Mum that argues with that person saying she is being kept safe by them so she doesn't have those problems and that she can make this point now and show where she stands on it and can't not put it out just in the off chance she ever does something later on. Her Mum has her back, she's not against them putting it out, she's annoyed at the team member for saying they shouldn't just incase they ever do change their mind. (I just rewatched the scene to double check I remembered it right)
Thanks for the reaction guys ♥️ If you want something different from Billie I recommend reacting to "Lost cause", "my future" and "i didint change my number"🤗
Hola chicos, amo la música de Billie Eilish, sobre todo su último álbum Hit me hard and soft, no puedo parar de escucharlo desde que salió. saludos desde Cuba 🇨🇺 Me encantan sus video-reacciones.
Not sure if anyone has said it yet but the parts with that frequency you guys talked about liking, she has said before she wanted it to sound like what being in a second hand smoke filled room feels like
Rather than my usual long list of songs you have/have not yet done, I'll go for a shorter list of more "high energy" songs (insane long comment will be back next time!) - Copycat (from the first EP): Copycat's a weird one because there's no official video. The studio version is incredibly high energy. The live version from the Mahogany Sessions is amazing and is an acoustic cover of just her and Finneas. I would highly recommend doing both because it's genuinely like two separate songs. It's not long so you could fit it in one video or just do them both. - My Boy (First EP) -When I was Older (single) -Bad (Michael Jackson cover) or End of the World (cover for BBC 1 Radio) both have fun live-music energy. - I didn't change my number, Billie Bossa Nova, Oxytocin, My Future, Lost Cause (Second album).
If you want more context about this song there this video she posted at the time (she did for a few songs on the first album) - A Snippet into Billie's Mind - xanny th-cam.com/video/Ms5yMta2p9A/w-d-xo.html
Always love your reactions to billie! I highly recommend you checking out some of Finneas’s songs too!!! He recently came out with a new album and it’s sooo good
Not an upbeat song but, I really recommend, "Overheated" it's so good and meaningful. Very interesting yet beautiful song, I won't say much though as I want you to experience it yourselves rather than me explaining the whole thing
i’m not sure who said this was an upbeat one of hers 😂 but nonetheless this song is incredible, just like the rest. if you’re really looking for a 360 from the slower stuff, check out COPYCAT, oxytocin, therefore i am, overheated. you won’t be disappointed!
Not necessarily the same vibes as other artists yall react to but I would love if you listened/reacted to Death by a thousand cuts by Imminence , Life of Misery by Continents, Self-Destruction by I prevail
Lol, I don't know who told you this was upbeat, but hey... I love this one. It's both gracefully beautiful and violently jarring as hell .... kinda like hockey! Also the first video she ever directed. FTR, Billie doesn't touch drugs or alcohol (or meat and dairy!)
No Time To Die and Copycat!
Maybe they were thinking of "oxytocin" rather than "xanny"?
This song was extremely hard for Billie to sing, especially the ending where there is no music and she sighs heavily.

Xanny was also the first music video Billie had directed herself.
I didn't know that about her friend dying ..that's terrible.
@Minlaroo The friend was rapper xxxtentacion, he was murdered in June of 2018. He and Billie were really close, it wasn’t anything romantic, they were just good friends.
@lifewithlynn8137 Oh,yes,that's right.
Billies Bossa Nova is super dope too!!
@@notes4170 Yes!!! That's a good one.
"Lost Cause" and "My Future". Both are higher energy and have cool videos.
Sorry they really aren’t 😭
Does "higher energy" mean something different to you? 😂
No they aren’t 😂
@@SKAlRIPAthey're not referring to the meaning or lyrics. they mean the actual instrumental. they're more upbeat.
please react to oxytocin (by billie ofcc) i think you guys would love it.
Yeeeeeessss!!!! I have been suggesting this one. Literally just finished posting about it on this video. It's a tasty one
Yes, agree❤
💯
Yes!! Definitely a fav of mine
I was waiting for no time to die 😢
YES SO AM I OMG
YESSS live at The Oscars
@@danielaflrsm YES, it's so good though, she is like a goddess, voice of an angel!!!
@@danielaflrsm They cut too much of the song out at the Oscars. I like Live at the Brits but the audience is a little noisy.
Yessss
Honestly shocked that someone would consider this upbeat - but that said, it's a fantastic song and I'm excited to see your reaction to it.
One of my favorite video covers Billie and Finnease did, "End of the World" bbc radio sessions, is amazing. Another one to check out, "Billie Bosa Nova", so seductive.
Billie Bossa Nova is a seductive one. I like it
Iconic ❤
“my future” is also really good! One of my favorite songs from her!!
This is a really great car song. When that bass comes in and the windows vibrate just a little. Yessss
Thanks for reacting to Xanny it’s one of my favorites songs from her, i recommend ya’ll “ No Time to Die “ by her it’s a song that won an Oscar.
( sorry for my bad English it’s not my first language )
you guys would LOVE No Time To Die the video is a trailer and music video in one! her and finneas won an oscar for it
I liked the line "to inebriated to feel scared.". For me, I took it 2 ways:
1. Xanax is a benzodiazapine drug used to treat certain anxiety or panic disorders. So they are supposed to "make you feel less anxious/scared.". However as with all drugs they come with side effects, the idea is the positive effects should out way the negative effects.

Yes, that's what it is. It's used for anxiety.
I just wrote a similar comment 😅
@@WanderlustWarrior46 I was talking about what a Xanny is, not the song. I'm not sure if you meant the same..?
THANK YOU I’ve been begging for this!
I wouldn't exactly call this song peppy but it has a good strong beat to it, i love it
@@LilBit1270 The beat is what I love about Xanny. I mean, I love the meaning of the song,but I like the juxtaposition between the slow,softness at the beginning and then the heavy beat. Billie & Finneas do that often in many of her songs.
I am here to support Rykerroad❤❤❤
OXYTOCIN? PLEASE (this one will SHOCK you) 😊
YES PLEASE

Hola chicos, amo la música de Billie Eilish, sobre todo su último álbum Hit me hard and soft, no puedo parar de escucharlo desde que salió. saludos desde Cuba 🇨🇺 Me encantan sus video-reacciones.
Past Tense and Gravity from Neoni are two beautifully deep songs right along the lines of some of Billie’s music. You guys may like those two as well
Waiting for more!
Not sure if anyone has said it yet but the parts with that frequency you guys talked about liking, she has said before she wanted it to sound like what being in a second hand smoke filled room feels like

You might wanna listen to not my responsibility first though
Still pushing to have Epic added to your rotation!
