Easily one of her best songs, if not THE best. What an incredible homage to Amy Lee - all while creating a strong, powerful image for themself. Halsey is one of the greats of our generation, and this record will absolutely stand the test of time.
@@condzg LMAO thanks!! If I ever had the time to really sit down and express my thoughts on every album I listen to, I'd totally start something up, but time is such a commodity anymore. Leaving little blurbs on TH-cam videos is enough for now lol
@wynonareign It was sold as an exclusive for 24 hours along with the other vevo performances. If you didn’t get a chance to buy it, I think there are people who made google drives with the audio files on them that you can upload to Spotify from the local files on your phone. I saw people posting links to the audio files on Twitter and the Halsey subreddit, which you can download and put on your Spotify. People did the same for the other bonus tracks like Lessons, Afraid of the Dark, etc. I hope this helps!
I saw it as The Muse is a Lonely person while also being that the emotion of being Lonely is the Muse for actions that you know might not be the best for you
This song for me is Halsey identifying herself as a muse, always inspiring others with ideas and interactions and experiences. The saying lonely is the muse exists because muses always do so much for others while, in this context, they themselves are beings who are codependent on others to give them purpose. Love how the song examines this dynamic
@@elzawalkers thank you! It’s like, why would you mold yourself/change yourself so much just bc someone is giving you attention? Loneliness. Why would you continue to do it when you know that once they get what they want out of you (For her to be their muse), they will discard you? The fear/feeling Loneliness.
that is INTENSE. Musically and lyrically intense. The more I hear it the more I'm convinced, this is her sound, this is her best song ever as far as being compelling and having gravity, this is not light fare, this is heavy.
@@bodybloodsoulanddivinity the lyrics really do hit with authentic emotion. The paradox of loving a narcissist who treats you as an apparatus when you are the one with "platinum status".
I wish the whole album was this rock themed 😢😭😭😭😭 it’s still a great album I would just love to see Halsey do a full entire rock album like this it’s SOOO good!!!!
Love & Power had Easier than Lying, Nightmare, The Lighthouse, People Disappear Here, all arguably metal. But not the entire album. I’m satisfied with getting this song here though but I agree I want a full album of metal Halsey
@@junedanieltamor9071 I love that album but that album doesn't have a single song that sounds like this. That was more industrial and experimental, this is very 2000s emo/alt/nu metal influenced. This is closer to something like Nightmare tonally, but much heavier.
I was expecting for the original notes in the released version, but when the second chorus dropped with you singing the harmonies... I got goosebumps all over my body like that switch conveys such a different hidden meaning for the song... The released version is more vengeful, angry whilst this is gloomy, still angry but acquiescent as if a siren that has lost all hope singing and captivating souls for one last time. incredible
This new era halsey reminding me of old school paramore... maybe a little old school flyleaf... IM LOVING ITTTTT and im 35. Swear this woman is for every generation 🫶🏼💯
Yes!!! I know she made it clear that Evanescence was the inspiration but theres many other bands out there that LITM is closer too. She did fantastic regardless and it's my favourite genre she does. Her screaming 😭❤️❤️❤️
her best song EASILY i’ve struggled with being alone a lot this year. this song came out right after my best friend of 11 years moved away, my best coworker friend quit, and with everything i’ve already been feeling this year climaxing when this song came out life was so intense. the sound of this song encapsulates the rage, pain and exhaustion i was feeling so spot on. i wish she would make more music that sounds like this
can we talk about how insane it is that H literally sounds the same in the live performances as they do on the record. the best artist out there right now and im being dead serious
Perhaps I’m selfish for this but I really hope she releases an album rock,metal, alternative theme. I absolutely loved her work with on her last one! This song was absolutely full circle for me. A lot of musical memories flooded my mind as soon as heard this song. For me this song holds a lot of personal symbolism. Super grateful!
From beginning to end i had 'stank face' just from the way she's hitting them notes??? the SCREAMING??? the GRIT?? Oh Halsey, you will always be our muse 🖤🤍🖤🤍
JESUS CHRIST AND ALL THAT IS HOLY. FUCK. This is aesthetically EVERYTHING, vocals are INSANITY, the cinematography is CRAZY WORK, the relaxation of such a chaotic song. I’ve loved this song since it came out but it’s solidified as my favorite Halsey song ever tied with easier than lying. Like THIS IS YOUR ELEMENT HALSEY!! This is your moment. These performances are EVERYTHING. I’m so proud of you 😭
My GOD the vocals get better EVERY DAMN ERA! From EOM all the way to Lonely is the Muse the increase of range and tone is INSANELY impressive and so so so so so insanely good! PROUD OF YOU ASH THIS ALBUM IS AMAZING!
The creative body of work in all 5 albums of Halsey’s work is incredible - but this one is just insane. So grateful to exist in the same period of time as this
been a fan since forever, been loving their music since the start but this?? i'm not afraid to say that it's her best song ever like the production the vocals the voice control the vibes the tribute the LYRICS. it blows my mind honestly. hands down an all time fave for now on.
Damn this moved to tears. Her voice and these lyrics are dripping with venom and sarcasm and I feel her anger and feeling of powerlessness to someone else’s vision of you. Always so impressed with Halsey
She has said so many times she doesn’t make music for the mainstream media, she makes stuff that comes from her soul and that the fans would love. I definitely feel like this genre is much more suited to her, especially the way she can pour her soul out so much more in these types of songs in my opinion. She could easily make an entire y2k, emo, punk metal album. It’s definitely something a lot of her fans (including me) has been waiting for and are dying for. She would also gain a whole new genre of fans as well, just like Demi did with holy fvck!
I've been hyped for this for the past 5 or so days and it did not disappoint. Better than I expected. I am so impressed. Absolutely stunning, visually, vocally, and sonically. Gonna be re-watching this all day Edit: One month later and still re-watching
Could barely listen without feeling myself tear up... This song is just so devastating and raw and their vocals make it even more so... Halsey you're so amazing.
This and the lighthouse are probably my favorite Halsey songs of all time. I’ve been a fan since 2016. She was my first concert. Watching her grow and evolve over time has been a pleasure and Halsey just keeps getting better and better. This song gives Deftones in the best way 🖤
Halsey is just so versatile... she can do hip-hop r&b, chamber pop, country, and goth rock. She is a true chameleon of modern day music. When I look at Halsey... I see ingredients of Billy Eilish, Pink, Kelis, Hope Sandoval, Maggie Linderman, Nelly Furtado, and Jess Glynne all rolled into something so marvelous and yet so different from anything you've heard so far by any artist.
Ive had fuckimg goosebumps no matter how much I listen to this, no body does alternative rock like Halsey does, her vocals are soothing and grunge, I don’t know how she does it, the amount of power this woman’s voice has over me is dangerous.
Halsey always had a rock/metal vibe to her since the very beggining of her career (in my opinion). A career in the genre instead of pop should be a non brainer to me. Not trying to box anyone tho, you do whatever makes you happy the most. Love the song.
Wow, this is quite the career evolution, beginning with pop almost r&b then heading into goth/rock/metal territory. No matter the genre you've shown that you can not just adapt but thrive and continue to inspire millions with your lyrics, your voice, and your soul. You're frickin awesome Halsey! 🤩
I love how she effortlessly adapts her vocals to the style of music she's performing. I really love this song already ❤ she has a true appreciation of art.
I know she mentioned on twitter that Amy Lee was just one of the inspirations of the song but Lonely Is the Muse has Deftones written all over it, and that’s what makes the song so special to me, because it also has that Halsey twist. It hits even harder live. That look is all Amy though, for sure. I just love this side to her. Our girl has layers.
This is the Halsey I need more of. I Love you no matter what music style but this one screams to my heart the most. You won the prize with this one. I’m sorry was my other solid favorite..now this is first place. ❤
It's so weird how this wasn't one of my favorites until I heard this version, it's grown on me in one day and now I'm completely obsessed. So raw and beautiful, I really hope these live versions are released on streaming 😭
i don’t think this has ever happened to me before but i didn’t fully get this song until i saw this video and now it’s easily my favorite off the album, if not of everything i’ve ever heard from her. this performance is a work of art and i’m so happy she did these
Easily one of her best songs, if not THE best. What an incredible homage to Amy Lee - all while creating a strong, powerful image for themself. Halsey is one of the greats of our generation, and this record will absolutely stand the test of time.
you go get that journalism degree. this was amazing to read
@@condzg LMAO thanks!! If I ever had the time to really sit down and express my thoughts on every album I listen to, I'd totally start something up, but time is such a commodity anymore. Leaving little blurbs on TH-cam videos is enough for now lol
@ if you ever start come back and tell me !!! I’ll even help
I know she said Amy helped inspire this, but Life of the Spider sounds JUST like early Evanescence demos. It's wild. This, not so much.
Favorite song off the album. But her top will always be anything from iichliwp, it’s my absolute favorite!
It’s crazy that this sounds even better than the studio version
Exactly what I was thinking, I wish I could get this version on spotify
@wynonareign It was sold as an exclusive for 24 hours along with the other vevo performances. If you didn’t get a chance to buy it, I think there are people who made google drives with the audio files on them that you can upload to Spotify from the local files on your phone.

So much emotion she puts into this version
All her songs she redoes with her voice are so much better than the original
The perspective of the Muse being an incredibly lonely position is genius. The most underrated artist
I saw it as The Muse is a Lonely person while also being that the emotion of being Lonely is the Muse for actions that you know might not be the best for you
Oh I interpret it as her loneliness is her muse as it drives her attachment to toxicity and pain that translates into her art.
This song for me is Halsey identifying herself as a muse, always inspiring others with ideas and interactions and experiences. The saying lonely is the muse exists because muses always do so much for others while, in this context, they themselves are beings who are codependent on others to give them purpose. Love how the song examines this dynamic
@@Actuallyalizardthis is genuinely such an amazing interpretation of this song and now i’m looking at it so differently i love itt

Heavy is a great description. The fact she can say the vulnerable things so powerfully is courageous. 100% her sound. More of this please @halsey
No seriously like she needs to release an album like THIS
@cerinashippey I would love it. Her label may wonder WTF happened to our pop girl? She went Metal??
@@bodybloodsoulanddivinity the lyrics really do hit with authentic emotion. The paradox of loving a narcissist who treats you as an apparatus when you are the one with "platinum status".
this is one of the best songs she’s ever made
She's tapped in. I want her to create from this place more.
I wish the whole album was this rock themed 😢😭😭😭😭 it’s still a great album I would just love to see Halsey do a full entire rock album like this it’s SOOO good!!!!
Iichliwp is their rock album
But also mood i agree
If i can't have love i want power album is good bro
@@donttalktomebyei think they mean like this style of rock, this isn’t really in iichliwp with the exception of people disappear here
Love & Power had Easier than Lying, Nightmare, The Lighthouse, People Disappear Here, all arguably metal. But not the entire album. I’m satisfied with getting this song here though but I agree I want a full album of metal Halsey
please an entire album of just this
Its called “If i cant have love, i want power”
Not entirely. We need metal Halsey ❤@@junedanieltamor9071
@@junedanieltamor9071 not really, this album is more a pop rock, only easier than lying is closer to this song, but i wish the whole album was :´)

@ ya’aburnee sounds similar
Edit: this was a joke
No cause we need a whole album like this HALSEY PLSSSS IM BEGGING BEGGING BEGGING. EGGING PLEASE PLESSE OLEASE PLEASASEE
YES PLEASE
Her last album IICHLIWP is v similar in vibes!!
I NEED THIS VERSION ON SPOTIFY
Just use TH-cam music 😊
you can put it into local files if you use a mp3 converter!!
PLS HALSEY MAKE IT AVAILABLE for streaming there 🙏 💜
SAME
Hoping she adds it soon, she just released a download of this version to buy on her website
2:18 This song is beautifully written but way she rides the vocals in this version needs to be appreciated in the dark in the corner of your room 💔👑
So powerful. The next thirty seconds....she is amazing
Got absolute CHILLS at that part
oh the live version hits even HARDER with these vocals
I have no one to talk to about this man this song is insane
You have us!!!! Cuz damn we FEEL IT TOO 😉💜
Same my friends are annoyed already lol
HALSEY YOU ARE BORN FOR METAL MUSIC
I caught Flyleaf and Paramore vibes
yessssssssssssss
I keep saying this
true
@@ВалентинЖданов-р9е exactly!!! i thought of flyleaf too and she sounds amazing...
SHE REALLY IS BORN TO BE A ROCKSTAR!! HER VOCALS IS PERPETUAL PERIOD.
I was expecting for the original notes in the released version, but when the second chorus dropped with you singing the harmonies... I got goosebumps all over my body like that switch conveys such a different hidden meaning for the song... The released version is more vengeful, angry whilst this is gloomy, still angry but acquiescent as if a siren that has lost all hope singing and captivating souls for one last time. incredible
This was such a pleasure to read, love this take!
Uuugghhhh I can't even with this 😭💜
So true ❤ well said
I was not expecting the note change at all but damn if it wasn’t absolutely clean and awe-inspiring. Halsey’s voice is so good fr
this song was made for being heard live….i love the studio version but this is just on another level
you get more dynamics of the band, from subdued, hazy dream of the verse to the frenzy and thrash of the chorus.
Seeing Halsey performing in that Evanescence-styled outfit brought joy to my heart ❤
Same!!!!
2:18 HOW IS NOBODY TALKING ABOUT THIS PART THIS PERFORMANCE IS INCREDIBLE
This new era halsey reminding me of old school paramore... maybe a little old school flyleaf... IM LOVING ITTTTT and im 35. Swear this woman is for every generation 🫶🏼💯
Yes, flyleaf!!
Yup I’m 34 been listening since 2017. Every album is a masterpiece
Yes!!! I know she made it clear that Evanescence was the inspiration but theres many other bands out there that LITM is closer too. She did fantastic regardless and it's my favourite genre she does. Her screaming 😭❤️❤️❤️
you can even say halsey was "fully alive". 😏
Totally agree with this and I'm 37
her best song EASILY
i’ve struggled with being alone a lot this year. this song came out right after my best friend of 11 years moved away, my best coworker friend quit, and with everything i’ve already been feeling this year climaxing when this song came out life was so intense. the sound of this song encapsulates the rage, pain and exhaustion i was feeling so spot on.
i wish she would make more music that sounds like this
The sentiment, the rage, the dreaminess, her beautiful vocals, the writing of this song, instrumental...one of her best songs for sure
She tapped in to the pulse that drives her for this for sure
THIS IS HER GENRE
I love when she goes harder and more raw! She's so versatile and talented. Truly one of my all time favorite artists.
1:36 i wish she sang it like this in the studio version too it scratches my brain so perfectly
can we talk about how insane it is that H literally sounds the same in the live performances as they do on the record. the best artist out there right now and im being dead serious
ummm you mean BETTER right?
She doesn’t sound the same, she always sounds better live
i’m BEGGING put this version on streaming cause it’s going PLATINUM in my house
Fact: Halsey vocals aren't joke. Her vocals so soft and healing.
Vocals are good, lyrics are cringe.
@@OWlsfordshire?
@@OWlsfordshire the lyrics aren't cringe like at all.. huh?

Versatile - that's the word. I told a friend TGI is the most diverse record I've ever heard

“Thank you Halsey” we chant in unison
Thank you for this comment

I am not a Halsey fan. But my god this is some heavy ethereal ass shit. Goosebumps.
rocksey is BACK!! h singing the harmony literally gave me chills.
the VOCALS??! the growl on 'lonely' as the song gets more intense? halsey u r a god
The production on this is actually insane
i just bursted out crying listening to this for the very first time watching this.... god, i'm so glad you're here on earth with us

THIS ENTIRE ROLLOUT ATE
I hear so much Flyleaf and Deftones in this, hands down the best song she’s ever came up with
FLYLEAF 🖤
Vocals. Production. Band. Outfit. Everything. Is. Immaculate.
She literally understands how I feel Lonely is The Muse no lie!
This homage to the era and the aesthetic is everything Halsey 😭
i’m obsessed with this performance. the note switch to harmony. the lyricism. the energy. raaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh. halsey the artist you are
Halsey should definitely do more rock songs. I loved all the album concept, but this one is, by far, my favorite 🔥

Halsey is my everything. I couldn’t handle my bipolar disorder without her art to guide me through it
I love anything and everything she’s even made but she truly shines in this genre, I desperately need to her more screams into her songs
she was made for this sound WOW
You’ve always dropped an album when I’ve needed it the most-thank you
I've been hyped for this for the past 5 or so days and it did not disappoint. Better than I expected. I am so impressed. Absolutely stunning, visually, vocally, and sonically. Gonna be re-watching this all day
Edit: One month later and still re-watching
Id beg she does an album like this.. it’s good for the emotions and same with her acoustic - I wish for that too 😭
Could barely listen without feeling myself tear up... This song is just so devastating and raw and their vocals make it even more so... Halsey you're so amazing.
