@@TheThirdErnest it's funny you said other bands sounding like trash, cuz here's a clip of Tyler saying their genre is Trash 😂. th-cam.com/video/jZULMmn8QQ8/w-d-xo.html
Most youtubers reactions are based only on how the music sounds, they miss the lyrics, they miss the hidden messages behind the lyrics, the miss the way it is filmed, they miss the storyline, I could go on for a while. But YOU really see everything, you are really dedicated while listening and you understand and appreciate everything of the music videos you watch and listen to. Your reactions are the best, of as you call it FLAMES I just became a part of the Third Family
Thank you for noticing! When I started I struggled with being concerned at how long the videos are but everyone seemed to enjoy the content so now it’s just how we do it! Welcome to the fam!
His name is Tyler and the drummer is Josh. The person who runs Reel Bear Media is named Mark and he's the one who filmed it all the way from the first show with 12 people
Good god, I'm a die hard Twenty one pilots fan, and my first time hearing their music it took me dozens of listens of each song to make out some of the verses, much less dissect what they actually mean and THEN dissect music videos. You must have an IQ of like 20 million because you just hear all of the lyrics on the first go around and almost get exactly what he's saying while also understanding the video at the same time. What a legend. By far the best review channel I have ever seen
Gavin Todd I’ve been thinking the same thing as I watch these. I had some songs I thought I understood then dived in and I was all wrong lol this dude nails it down fairly good quickly
Every song Tyler makes, he takes into consideration how it will be preformed live. As in he thinks of the audience as much as he thinks about his lyrics. He connects with you on a personal level in an arena full of 20k ppl. Josh speaks to us without ever saying a word, the unification of their passion and craft makes everyone feel like they are the only ones there, but at the same time gives us the freedom to be unified as one. Dopest shows ever.
so that one verse is really dense, with a lot of ideas packed in the basic idea is struggling with belief and trust in God, he's putting on a "mask that portrays that we don't need grace," trying to ignore that he needs forgiveness and to let God be in control "the trees wave their arms and the clouds try to plead," I see this as the concept that God's creation and the imperfections in it because of sin point to God as both creator and savior of the world "I asked forgiveness three times, same amount that I denied," refers to Peter's denial of Jesus during the crucifixion (which, interestingly, took place at night and the rooster crowing in the morning was the sign of Peter's failure), Tyler's seeing himself as doing the same thing, acting like he's not a Christian to the people around him, hence "I'm afraid to tell you who I adore" "metaphorically I'm a whore and that's denial number four," I'm not sure if Tyler's going for this but there are parts of the bible where God refers to Israel as a prostitute, fornicator, or adulterous wife, Hosea in particular is all about the metaphor of an unfaithful prostitute being like Israel's unfaithfulness in constantly turning to other gods; it could just be that Tyler sees his doubts as unfaithfulness, or that he's tempted by other "gods" like fame and wealth
@@Hanswer122 nah, if you watch the music video of 'Nico and the Niners,' its ending is actually the begining of 'Levitate' The order is correct as is.. 🙂
@@TheThirdErnest For sure! Which is a throw back to "Trapdoor" Which is their personification of someone who is depressed and just meanders through life without someone reaching out to help them. TOP is really deep. Something to think about in your analysis. TOP played Christian festivals when they were starting to break out. Tyler admits he wrote Smithereens and Tear in my Heart for Jenna (his wife). Legend is for his granddad. But other songs that sound like he is singing to someone I feel like its directed toward his spiritual Center or his Center singing toward him. I say Center meaning Jesus but you know these days with all the "lets not pigeon hole someone" progressive thought.
This also calls back to the song on their self titled album Before You Start Your Day where it starts with "Open the slits in your face and start your day, you don't have much time to make your slits look just right", and then later "Look in the mirror and ask your soul if you're alright. Put out the glitter that your soul hides behind"
Three years, the same two dudes, the same piano, the same music, the same energy, 1000x the people. When they played in front of 12 people, they played like it was 12000
Fun fact: Tyler and Josh asked the 12 people after the performance to write down what the song should be called, and Ode To Sleep was one of the choices so that’s what they ended up going with.
It may have been home town fans. It seems like Ernest misheard the intro. The video starts with their first out of state, not ever, live performance. So local fans probably helped name the song.
I’ve never commented on a video in my life, but your lyric and meaning breakdowns are perfect man. I love this band and your attention to detail (combined with your appreciation of the art) does them justice. 🤙 I recommend Kitchen Sink - TØP
The best reaction channel on TH-cam, and that's because we don't get JUST a reaction. This is a 18 min video of him dissecting the song and it felt like 5 minutes. It's entertaining and also super interesting to watch. I've subscribed 4 months ago after watching a NF video and now I'm in heaven with him getting into twenty one pilots. ❤️
We really found a gem of a channel huh? Same thing with me, found him through NF, and been hooked on his videos since. Even joined that Lupe train too!
Just another thing about TØP...if you pay attention, in almost every music video they do..you see Tyler twitch or shake his head like a mad man to prevent himself from crying because its emotional for him
Holy fucking shit I've never realized it (seriously, I'm just kind of stupid sometimes and don't get this stuff) and I was too lazy to check out genius.com so.. thanks, I guess.
I’ve never turned on the bell until today and I would have never thought that I’d turn it on for a reactor. Ernest has some next level dissecting going on. Gotta love it.
This reaction is Fire! Dude you get these dudes and breakdowns are so on point. Tyler is a genius IMO. Reel Beat Video who made this MV has been with them since the beginning and still with them today along with several other dudes that do security or their concert photography which i respect ✊🏼. Ready for another reaction of TOP when you can fit it in
A lot of their stuff touches on religion, but always in metaphor and in a non-conventional way. They tend to be talking about the burdens and doubts they experience in their faith rather than typical music about religion that's dripping with so much certainty that it feels fake or at the very least difficult for it to truly resonate with anyone.
Couldn’t have put it any better myself. The certainty about something that’s uncertain is what turns a lot of people off to religious music but they do an amazing job staying true and real about their burdens and faith.
I’m so impressed in how easy you see the meaning with each song you listen to! Tyler’s writing is so complicated and has so many layers, and you literally see right through em. Keep it up man!
Me and my 15 year old daughter have seen them twice. Once in 2017 and once in 2019, they interact with the audience and switch stages to let everyone get a real experience no matter what tickets you buy. Can’t wait for next time they come to Birmingham Alabama! I have become a huge fan💜
I'm about to be 42 and this is the single best music video I have ever seen. I was here when MTV mattered and there was simply nothing even then that could top this. The concept is amazing, the story behind it fantastic. The song itself is well written, meaningful and deep, not to mention being an absolute banger. Seriously, if you didn't tap your foot during this reaction, why are you even listening to music? It doesn't get much better than this. I'm also a Christian, and this reaction was one of the best sermons I've heard recently. Well done, Mister Ernest.
I actually teared up and got goosebumps listening to you talk about the clique at 10:26. It did take a thousand listens but I can officially spit this song and, boy is it a feat.
twenty one pilots brought me here...your detailed and insightful reactions to songs has me more likely to check out your reactions to artists I've never heard of. I only just discovered them late last year myself. A few weeks after they played live here 😔 Loved everything I heard by them, so much so that I drove 8 hours from Minnesota into Canada to see them. I see a few people have recommended you react to live videos. I agree, but I also remember hearing you say at some point you're from Texas. They're playing Fort Worth on Fri November 8th. Seriously, if you can get there, GO! I've been to well over 100 concerts in the last 30 years, never had a single favorite, more like favorite top 10. These two guys blew every other show out of the water. So seriously, try and see them (so it'll be actual nostalgia.) If you can't make it, at least try and watch a full concert. The festival shows are usually better shot and better audio, but they're also not actually a full length show, which are 2 hours long. But don't film a reaction so you can be fully absorbed by the experience.
what i love about twenty one pilots, is while they are christian yes and definitely their lyrics reflect that, they do so in a way that everybody can connect/relate. i'm not christian or religious at all, but there is not a song by them that i don't absolutely love and relate to 100%, tyler is seriously a lyrical genius
Your reactions are honestly the best I've seen, I'm totally here for it. It just blows my mind at how you dissect the lyrics so well and then get it right! You've even considered the fact that Tyler is a Christian, making sure you look out for lyrics that may have religious undertones so you better understand it. Truly blows me away everytime. I recommend the song Morph by twenty one pilots 👍 in their live performance of that song, Josh plays his drums on the crowd because he has a solo at the end.
I love that they leave in the crowd singing along at the last show. You can hear them all singing along. From 12 people to 1200 with everyone rapping along with you to one of the fastest parts of the song. That feeling has got to be better then any other feeling in the world
Fire song. Fire video. Fire reaction. 🔥🔥🔥 Are we just gonna ignore that this song comes in like a freaking beast? That synth intro followed by a full drop out and Tyler drops in the silence. 🔥
listen, i've been listening to twenty one pilots since 2013 and NOW i got the meaning of this song -i'm spanish so sometimes the language barrier is real but- this is all thanks to you! you really break it down and make it easier to understand. thank you!!!
I was at their recent show in Fort Worth and Tyler was talking to the crowd about how when they first started, bar owners would laugh them out of the bar when they brought in their stand up piano and drum kit(s) wondering why they would bring all of that stuff in to play for only 20 people. Now they have the number 1 alternative album of the decade, which is the only record in history across all genres where every single song is certified at least gold. It could not have happened to two better people. Tyler and Josh deserve every single accolade they have.
I’m so happy to watch you love my guys. ❤️ Another great reaction! I saw this video before I saw them live and their shows are exactly like this. I’m going to see them live tonight for the third time. Great way to start my day!
Twenty one pilots concerts are a whole mood! I've seen them live 6 times and it never gets old! My daughter who is 14 is obsessed but it's because she went through trauma and they literally saved her life! 💙
I've listened to these songs so much and still dont know what some things mean, but the way you just get these lyrics is astonoshing. You're becoming my favorite reactor!
I am a huge fan of Twenty One Pilots and have to say it was amazing to see someone who appreciates the whole package as much as I do. I cannot get enough of them. I thought twice about seeing them live because I was fifty when they came to town and thought I'd be the oldest on there. Boy was I wrong...and I am so glad I went. They put on an amazing show and like you said REALLY connect with their audience. Thanks for doing this breakdown of their video, I think I appreciate them even more. I subscribed and look forward to more of your reviews :)
Good stuff dude, love that you react genuinely and actually dissect everything about it. Definitely subbing, and look for ward to more twenty one pilots reactions among others
soooo i guess we on the 21P train now and honestly just like NF i really havent heard a "Bad" track by them. definitely weaker ones but 90% of their music is fire. just because of their pure talent. BUT PLEASE BEFORE YOU COMMIT TO THIS TRAIN CAN YOU PLEASE FINISH THE NF TRAIN WITH "Let Me Go" ?? THATS THE LAST NF SONG I WANT YOU TO REACT TO LOL
Dude-please do more TØP songs!! You are so good breaking down the metaphors. Tyler always writes his lyrics with vagueness because he wants each listener to understand the song based on their experiences not just his. I have gotten something new with each of your videos you’ve done-keep it up👍
You deserve more subscribers. Always good reactions/breakdowns. Also, if twenty one pilots comes anywhere near you you should go to the concert. One of the best shows I've been too. Also stone sour
sometimes I come to see this videos just because of the nostalgia and I realized something funny at 15:37 "they're not scared of shy away" now I listen to that phrase and immediately relate it to tøp hahahaha
i know this video is kind of old but you're seriously one of my favorite reaction channels. you actually break the song down and seem to have a real appreciation for music. i also appreciate that you react to more than just rap
u r gonna make it far pal ur reaction has every thing for people who r not TØP fans and also what we the skeleton clique want u breakdown everything PERFECT
That was my first time watching the video and probably my 30th or so time hearing the song and you understood more of the lyrics than I did in 1 listen. That video hit me in the feels with their growth in 3 years for sure. These guys are incredible. Please check out neon gravestones by them. Very deep song about something not many artists would ever want to talk about.
Hey man, the fact you picked up on those lyrics THAT quickly is pretty badass. I might be bias because I have the same opinion as you but I think you’re a very good reviewer (or whatever your desired title may be) and I’ll be SURE to check out more of your stuff. Thats easily my favorite song of there’s and I’m very happy to hear that you liked it just as much as I do. I’ll be back!!
i genuinely love your reactions. I’ve been a fan of theirs since 2013 and its great to hear peoples reactions to songs ive listened to literally thousands of times and take away something new from your insight. check out guns for hands next.
I just saw my second show last night in Atlanta. I doubt they will ever let you down. I can’t get enough of these dudes. They are so genuine and work their butts off for their fans. I told my family that if there was one song I could’ve added to the show...it would’ve been Ode to Sleep. Such a great song.
As long as you keep doing this dope ass reaction videos, I'll keep on watching. More so if its more twenty one pilots vids. You are nailing them perfectly.
literally one of the best tøp reactors I've ever seen..and I'm pretty much a tøp reaction channel junkie skskdhj every day I check TH-cam for new tøp reactions lol, and I have been loving this channel SO MUCH can't wait for the next one!
That verse that you didnt break down because there was so much to unpack there is actually from an older song that Tyler wrote on his self produced album before the band was made. Its called Just Like Yesterday by Tyler Joseph, not TØP. And if you want to get super into the TØP storyline, all three albums (Vessel, Blurryface and Trench) are actually all part of the same story and you can hear the story progress as you continue to listen. Thanks for the fire analysis. Glad youre really starting to like these guys
can you believe its only two boys makeing all that beautiful sound,also you nailed it about trusting your vocals...if you trust in your abilities they will be there for you,thats the main thing new musicians need to trust...
Wow. I’m so glad you started doing them. They’ve been one of my faves the last 4 years. And man i feel like you caught some things i overlooked!! I never thought of the 3 time mvp part like that. Excellent analysis per usual!
the way you interpret and really listen to the lyrics .. you comprehend shit in the way other people reacting to these songs don’t 😭 subscribed as soon as you started explaining the lyrics the way you did
Thank you so much for listening to them closely, for listening to the lyrics and what they're tryin to say! And wow you're so fast catching the lyrics and understanding them!
Man you're so fast catching the lyrics and getting the meaning of the song! TOP can be super confusing and it took me a few listens and reading the lyrics to put this together, while you're out hear taking in the musical performance, the video and the lyrics! Well done for you man!!
On the eve of a day that's forgotten and fake As the trees, they await, and clouds anticipate The start of a day when we put on our face A mask that portrays that we don't need grace On the eve of a day that is bigger than us But we open our eyes, cause we're told that we must And the trees wave their arms and the clouds try to plead Desperately yelling, there's something we need I'm not free, I asked forgiveness three times Same amount that I denied, I three-time MVP'd this crime I'm afraid to tell you who I adore Won't tell you who I'm singing towards Metaphorically, I'm a whore, and that's denial number four" Essentially we put on our fake smiles (put on our face) like NF, for our public persona when we know something is broken in humanity. WE GOT THIS FAM....I GOT IT ON MY OWN....DON'T NEED FORGIVNESS FROM MY SIN OR GRACE. And he personifies nature the same way. All of existence is wondering what is the greater purpose and wants to live for it, but if confronted about living for it we may deny it like Peter. DEEP!!! And we open our eyes because you must live another day even if it wouldnt be your choice. Fast forward a decade and we get neon gravestones..ie dont make the wrong choice for the wrong reasons
I just love seeing ppl love and respect these guys. I've been a fan since 2013 and been telling ppl about them since then haha. These guys deserve so much! They're one of a kind. Love your reactions and appreciation and respect for them❤
Always loved TOP! Ive never seen the music video before this and realized that the final concert was in my home town. Love how you have dove into their lyrics and your interpretation of them. I haven’t really scene a good breakdown of them before.
I saw them in concert on Oct. 28, 2018 and they were insane. That concert had around 20,000 people attending. It’s awesome to see how far they’ve come. Ps. I love your videos because you are one of the few reactors who actually know what’s going on lyrically.
levels of rapping TOP 1-8 1 - Stressed Out - one slightly hard part 2 - Fairly Local - slightly hard 3 - Ride - hardish 4 - Ode To Sleep V1 5 - ANATHEMA FINAL VERSE, FIRST VERSE OF BLASPHEMY 6 - BLASPHEMY [tyler joseph before in band] harder part 7 - ODE TO SLEEP V2 8 - [aint no way] HeavyDirtySoul
Definitely need to watch Migraine in “The Live Room”. The entire series in The Live Room actually. Also Tyler’s version of 9 Crimes by Damien Rice. So fire.
“I don’t even know what like the genre of music is, I don’t even know what like, the category is”
none of us do, but that’s ok
The genre is no genre
They've had people ask what genre they consider themselves and there's some clip of Josh just rambling off like 20 genres lol
i've seen people call it ukelele screamo
Scitzafrenic pop

The whole lineup of that Fox Theater show is unreal! HOTY is amazing!!
His name is Tyler and the drummer is Josh. The person who runs Reel Bear Media is named Mark and he's the one who filmed it all the way from the first show with 12 people

so that one verse is really dense, with a lot of ideas packed in
the basic idea is struggling with belief and trust in God, he's putting on a "mask that portrays that we don't need grace," trying to ignore that he needs forgiveness and to let God be in control
"the trees wave their arms and the clouds try to plead," I see this as the concept that God's creation and the imperfections in it because of sin point to God as both creator and savior of the world
"I asked forgiveness three times, same amount that I denied," refers to Peter's denial of Jesus during the crucifixion (which, interestingly, took place at night and the rooster crowing in the morning was the sign of Peter's failure), Tyler's seeing himself as doing the same thing, acting like he's not a Christian to the people around him, hence "I'm afraid to tell you who I adore"

Yeah see I was not about to understand all that on the first go lmao thanks for the info!
I would like to point out also that while car radio claims"faith is to be awake" this song is an Ode to Sleep.
React to..
Heavy Dirty Soul,
Jumpsuit,
Nico and the Niners,
Levitate.
On that order.

I actually teared up and got goosebumps listening to you talk about the clique at 10:26. It did take a thousand listens but I can officially spit this song and, boy is it a feat.
Yeah Tyler is the singer and the drummer is Josh
I love Twenty One Pilots everything they do is so good.
twenty one pilots brought me here...your detailed and insightful reactions to songs has me more likely to check out your reactions to artists I've never heard of. I only just discovered them late last year myself. A few weeks after they played live here 😔 Loved everything I heard by them, so much so that I drove 8 hours from Minnesota into Canada to see them. I see a few people have recommended you react to live videos. I agree, but I also remember hearing you say at some point you're from Texas. They're playing Fort Worth on Fri November 8th. Seriously, if you can get there, GO! I've been to well over 100 concerts in the last 30 years, never had a single favorite, more like favorite top 10. These two guys blew every other show out of the water. So seriously, try and see them (so it'll be actual nostalgia.) If you can't make it, at least try and watch a full concert. The festival shows are usually better shot and better audio, but they're also not actually a full length show, which are 2 hours long. But don't film a reaction so you can be fully absorbed by the experience.
Just left the twenty one pilots concert in Greenville SC
Broooo hope you had funnnn
I WANTED TO GO SO BAD BUT IM POOR LMAO
I wish I could've gone, I'm so close too! :(
Caedmon Moore we poor too! Took my soon to be 15 year old daughter and somehow she got a $80 windbreaker out of me there 🤣
I went a year ago was one of the first Bandito tour dates was amazing. The new setlist and changes they made look awesome, great show?
Watch ‘ride’, the live version and you’ll see more of Josh drumming on top of the crowd
what i love about twenty one pilots, is while they are christian yes and definitely their lyrics reflect that, they do so in a way that everybody can connect/relate. i'm not christian or religious at all, but there is not a song by them that i don't absolutely love and relate to 100%, tyler is seriously a lyrical genius
Your reactions are honestly the best I've seen, I'm totally here for it. It just blows my mind at how you dissect the lyrics so well and then get it right! You've even considered the fact that Tyler is a Christian, making sure you look out for lyrics that may have religious undertones so you better understand it. Truly blows me away everytime. I recommend the song Morph by twenty one pilots 👍 in their live performance of that song, Josh plays his drums on the crowd because he has a solo at the end.
I love that they leave in the crowd singing along at the last show. You can hear them all singing along. From 12 people to 1200 with everyone rapping along with you to one of the fastest parts of the song. That feeling has got to be better then any other feeling in the world
Ah you commented on it after I wrote this haha
I never listened to any 21 pilots songs until you reacted to them. Always nice to find videos I wouldn't normally watch 👏
Same thing, discovering what I've missed out on through Ernest's channel!
Welcome to the clique! TØP is amazing!
Fire song. Fire video. Fire reaction. 🔥🔥🔥
Are we just gonna ignore that this song comes in like a freaking beast? That synth intro followed by a full drop out and Tyler drops in the silence. 🔥
Soooooo clean bro. Appreciate you watching!
listen, i've been listening to twenty one pilots since 2013 and NOW i got the meaning of this song -i'm spanish so sometimes the language barrier is real but- this is all thanks to you! you really break it down and make it easier to understand. thank you!!!
If you like the end you should watch trees live
I reccomend to watch live of twenty one pilots. Too much pure
I was at their recent show in Fort Worth and Tyler was talking to the crowd about how when they first started, bar owners would laugh them out of the bar when they brought in their stand up piano and drum kit(s) wondering why they would bring all of that stuff in to play for only 20 people. Now they have the number 1 alternative album of the decade, which is the only record in history across all genres where every single song is certified at least gold. It could not have happened to two better people. Tyler and Josh deserve every single accolade they have.
I’m so happy to watch you love my guys. ❤️ Another great reaction! I saw this video before I saw them live and their shows are exactly like this. I’m going to see them live tonight for the third time. Great way to start my day!
Enjoy!! I’m definitely going to see them next time they are close!
Twenty one pilots concerts are a whole mood! I've seen them live 6 times and it never gets old! My daughter who is 14 is obsessed but it's because she went through trauma and they literally saved her life! 💙
I've listened to these songs so much and still dont know what some things mean, but the way you just get these lyrics is astonoshing. You're becoming my favorite reactor!
this is the most impressive review done on them. i subscribed to you about 5 minutes in after hearing you dissect everything. flames bro.
I am a huge fan of Twenty One Pilots and have to say it was amazing to see someone who appreciates the whole package as much as I do. I cannot get enough of them. I thought twice about seeing them live because I was fifty when they came to town and thought I'd be the oldest on there. Boy was I wrong...and I am so glad I went. They put on an amazing show and like you said REALLY connect with their audience. Thanks for doing this breakdown of their video, I think I appreciate them even more. I subscribed and look forward to more of your reviews :)
Good stuff dude, love that you react genuinely and actually dissect everything about it. Definitely subbing, and look for ward to more twenty one pilots reactions among others
Welcome to the fam! Top is a staple now
soooo i guess we on the 21P train now and honestly just like NF i really havent heard a "Bad" track by them. definitely weaker ones but 90% of their music is fire. just because of their pure talent.
BUT PLEASE BEFORE YOU COMMIT TO THIS TRAIN CAN YOU PLEASE FINISH THE NF TRAIN WITH "Let Me Go" ?? THATS THE LAST NF SONG I WANT YOU TO REACT TO LOL
Dude-please do more TØP songs!! You are so good breaking down the metaphors. Tyler always writes his lyrics with vagueness because he wants each listener to understand the song based on their experiences not just his. I have gotten something new with each of your videos you’ve done-keep it up👍
You deserve more subscribers. Always good reactions/breakdowns. Also, if twenty one pilots comes anywhere near you you should go to the concert. One of the best shows I've been too. Also stone sour
7:14 "I don't even know what their genre of music is"
Bro, it's ukulele screamo rap. Oh, and your face
sometimes I come to see this videos just because of the nostalgia and I realized something funny at 15:37 "they're not scared of shy away" now I listen to that phrase and immediately relate it to tøp hahahaha
I just adore that he sets josh above him so he’s attracting more attention to josh so he gets the appreciation he deserves.
Hey man, it's awesome to see more people being put on to the way you breakdown music! Been seeing this trend in the comments, particularly TOP vids.
You being confused with their genre and the style of music is the exact way of defining their genre and style of music
Welcome to the clique!
This was the absolute best video reaction to Ode to Sleep that I have seen by far! I am so happy to see you continuing with TØP.
i know this video is kind of old but you're seriously one of my favorite reaction channels. you actually break the song down and seem to have a real appreciation for music. i also appreciate that you react to more than just rap
Trees live is a must
To do List:
Trees Live
Fake you out Live
My Blood Live ( Locational session)
Jumpsuit music vid
u r gonna make it far pal
ur reaction has every thing for people who r not TØP fans
and also what
we the skeleton clique want
u breakdown everything
PERFECT
That was my first time watching the video and probably my 30th or so time hearing the song and you understood more of the lyrics than I did in 1 listen. That video hit me in the feels with their growth in 3 years for sure. These guys are incredible.
Please check out neon gravestones by them. Very deep song about something not many artists would ever want to talk about.
Hey man, the fact you picked up on those lyrics THAT quickly is pretty badass. I might be bias because I have the same opinion as you but I think you’re a very good reviewer (or whatever your desired title may be) and I’ll be SURE to check out more of your stuff. Thats easily my favorite song of there’s and I’m very happy to hear that you liked it just as much as I do. I’ll be back!!
i genuinely love your reactions. I’ve been a fan of theirs since 2013 and its great to hear peoples reactions to songs ive listened to literally thousands of times and take away something new from your insight. check out guns for hands next.
I love to watch your TØP journey 😍 And I love the way you break down the lyrics 💎 Love and light from Sweden 🇸🇪
I just saw my second show last night in Atlanta. I doubt they will ever let you down. I can’t get enough of these dudes. They are so genuine and work their butts off for their fans. I told my family that if there was one song I could’ve added to the show...it would’ve been Ode to Sleep. Such a great song.
Hey, I’m commenting cause he said it helps with him being recommended in the algorithm. PS Great vid as always!
Every comment counts! Appreciate you watching far enough to hear that lol
Banditos rejoice ||-//
You should look at their whole story in their music videos. It’s all about the 9 bishops and being trapped by DEMA
You gotta do Guns For Hands and Holding Onto You
Twenty one pilots marathon!! Give people what they want hahah
As long as you keep doing this dope ass reaction videos, I'll keep on watching. More so if its more twenty one pilots vids. You are nailing them perfectly.
Thanks man means a lot!
literally one of the best tøp reactors I've ever seen..and I'm pretty much a tøp reaction channel junkie skskdhj
every day I check TH-cam for new tøp reactions lol, and I have been loving this channel SO MUCH
can't wait for the next one!
Best concerts ever!!! Honestly. It’s just 2 guys on stage performing and sharing their contagious energy!
That verse that you didnt break down because there was so much to unpack there is actually from an older song that Tyler wrote on his self produced album before the band was made. Its called Just Like Yesterday by Tyler Joseph, not TØP.
And if you want to get super into the TØP storyline, all three albums (Vessel, Blurryface and Trench) are actually all part of the same story and you can hear the story progress as you continue to listen.
Thanks for the fire analysis. Glad youre really starting to like these guys
can you believe its only two boys makeing all that beautiful sound,also you nailed it about trusting your vocals...if you trust in your abilities they will be there for you,thats the main thing new musicians need to trust...
I just want to say I appreciate the work you put into your videos.
I came to this channel for NF and I’m also a huuuge fan of Tøp and now you’re reacting to them!! I love this!
I was at a twenty one pilots show when you posted this 😂
Hahaha lets gooooooo
this song will never fail to give me chills. this song means so much to me. chills. chills every time i listen to it.
Wow. I’m so glad you started doing them. They’ve been one of my faves the last 4 years. And man i feel like you caught some things i overlooked!! I never thought of the 3 time mvp part like that. Excellent analysis per usual!
the way you interpret and really listen to the lyrics .. you comprehend shit in the way other people reacting to these songs don’t 😭 subscribed as soon as you started explaining the lyrics the way you did
Thank you so much for listening to them closely, for listening to the lyrics and what they're tryin to say! And wow you're so fast catching the lyrics and understanding them!
Man you're so fast catching the lyrics and getting the meaning of the song! TOP can be super confusing and it took me a few listens and reading the lyrics to put this together, while you're out hear taking in the musical performance, the video and the lyrics! Well done for you man!!
Holding on to you has some insane bars plz react to it
On the eve of a day that's forgotten and fake
As the trees, they await, and clouds anticipate
The start of a day when we put on our face
A mask that portrays that we don't need grace
On the eve of a day that is bigger than us
But we open our eyes, cause we're told that we must
And the trees wave their arms and the clouds try to plead
Desperately yelling, there's something we need
I'm not free, I asked forgiveness three times
Same amount that I denied, I three-time MVP'd this crime
I'm afraid to tell you who I adore
Won't tell you who I'm singing towards
Metaphorically, I'm a whore, and that's denial number four"
Essentially we put on our fake smiles (put on our face) like NF, for our public persona when we know something is broken in humanity. WE GOT THIS FAM....I GOT IT ON MY OWN....DON'T NEED FORGIVNESS FROM MY SIN OR GRACE. And he personifies nature the same way. All of existence is wondering what is the greater purpose and wants to live for it, but if confronted about living for it we may deny it like Peter. DEEP!!! And we open our eyes because you must live another day even if it wouldnt be your choice. Fast forward a decade and we get neon gravestones..ie dont make the wrong choice for the wrong reasons
I just love seeing ppl love and respect these guys. I've been a fan since 2013 and been telling ppl about them since then haha. These guys deserve so much! They're one of a kind. Love your reactions and appreciation and respect for them❤
Always loved TOP! Ive never seen the music video before this and realized that the final concert was in my home town. Love how you have dove into their lyrics and your interpretation of them. I haven’t really scene a good breakdown of them before.
I saw them in concert on Oct. 28, 2018 and they were insane. That concert had around 20,000 people attending. It’s awesome to see how far they’ve come.
Ps. I love your videos because you are one of the few reactors who actually know what’s going on lyrically.
Its talking about the three times peter denied jesus when jesus was on the cross. Thats why he says denial number 4
One of the best band ever
levels of rapping TOP 1-8
1 - Stressed Out - one slightly hard part
2 - Fairly Local - slightly hard
3 - Ride - hardish
4 - Ode To Sleep V1
5 - ANATHEMA FINAL VERSE, FIRST VERSE OF BLASPHEMY
6 - BLASPHEMY [tyler joseph before in band] harder part
7 - ODE TO SLEEP V2
8 - [aint no way] HeavyDirtySoul
Is this V1 or V2? This is my favorite music video; I think because this is how I discovered TOP many years ago.
The concerts have the best vibe of any I have ed ever seen. The crowd is amazing.
First video of yours I've watched, forsure wont be the last!
You are super authentic and a love your energy. Thanks for sharing this with us.
You know I watched this months ago, but I'm back to watch again because this reaction makes me smile so much.
You should react to Twenty one pilots - Ride. It has over 800 million views. Absolute fire
Definitely need to watch Migraine in “The Live Room”. The entire series in The Live Room actually. Also Tyler’s version of 9 Crimes by Damien Rice. So fire.
