At roughly 6:04 theres a high pitched drill sound. thats a sound billie recorded herself while at a dentist appointment. Theres a lot of songs her and her brother go and find random sounds to put into their music.
Something -- in the album ilomilo is after bury a friend and they’re connected by sound but the mv to bury a friend is connected to the mv to all the good girls go to hell
To me, the song is basically about being your own worst enemy/your own toughest critic. If I remember correctly, she talked about being “the monster under someone's bed” being a huge inspiration for the song
So the needles part could possibly be your own self "stabbing yourself in the back" and injecting yourself with some "i'm not good enough" ?? Very interesting, indeed. Thanks a bunch for your take on it. As I said: I do enjoy hearing them!
Actually she said it's about her struggles with sleep paralysis. The worst enemy works too because she a put herself in the place of her own sleep paralysis demon
Yea she said it was like from the perspective of the monster under her bed and shes the monster, her own monster i guess. And she has sleep paralysis, hence the frozen limbs and eyes won't close. Not a fun experience. Very cool song
The best way to try to interpret her music is based on how it feels. This song made me feel stuck or trapped without really understanding the lyrics. Later I learned it was about sleep paralysis, and basically she represents a dream demon in the video. Also, she’s on the radio A Lot, just turned 18, and has absolutely exploded on the music scene. Her music is the music that no one knew they wanted until they heard it and realized it’s everything.
Especially because so much of her sound revolves around feeling. Like in xanny the chorus is distorted and bass heavy because that’s what it feels like when you breathe in smoke. And the verses are light and airy, which is what smoke looks like. It’s so cool
She’s all over the radio. And her songs have been used in so many commercials and tv shows and movies in the last year. She was first noticed by her song Ocean Eyes that she recorded when she was 13 and made the video the day after she turned 14. She just turned 18 a couple months ago.
Did you know her songs were on tv before she was really discovered? The CW used her songs in a lot of their shows. I found her from her song Six Feet Under when it played on The Vampire Diaries 3 years ago. I've been following her since.
OH MY GOD I AM FREAKING OUT RIGHT NOW DUDE. I have said from day ONE that this song reminded me of People are Strange by The Doors. Noone believes me, I have never heard that comparison before. THANK. YOU. I couldn't place what exactly was similar but immediately when I heard this song, I thought of People Are Strange. *I feel so validated right now.* Can't believe you just said that.
Hey, maybe I'm sitting here feeling the same way right now! Because I definitely said it haha. If anyone wants to disagree with you further about this song, you just have 'em talk to ol' Sporto and together, we'll set 'em right about it. Hey, thanks for watching =]
Sorry man, but this is sacrilege to The Doors. Yep there's a little similarity in terms of pacing, style, and beat but "People Are Strange" is waaay more melodic and catchier than this bland, creepy whisper-song crap--that it had to be reinforced by an Exorcist-like vid.
I recognized it as like a Doors song immediately but then I found the song it wasn't as similar as I thought. It's a bit like when Gotye did that Sting song that Sting forgot to write.
She has synesthesia, which make her feel, smell and picture the songs that she makes... she said multiple times that everyone of her songs has a certain temperature, smell, feel and color.... Soooooo with her music everything is on the way they make you feel about...
wow! I didn't know that she had that! ... I read a book called "The Book of Dreams" last year and I learned about synesthesia. It's a fictional book about a kid that has it and he tries to reconnect to his dad that has fallen in a coma...very interesting read.
I didn't know that about her, but it explains a lot. I also have synesthesia and her music is pretty awesome on way more levels than most. It feels more together. Knowing that it's written that way rather than being happy accident makes sense.
When you said she would have written poems in school - she’s home schooled. She started writing her own songs as a pre-teen. Their first song that got big was “Ocean Eyes” which she recorded when she was thirteen!!
Lisa I know, he wrote ocean eyes and when the party is over, and the rest they wrote together, but I didn’t write that she wrote it, I wrote “their first song that got big” ;)
@@bevwhittle461 yes, she sang it on Carpool Karioki, but her first produced and published song was Crossed Fingers, that she wrote at age 11, for her mom's songwriting class that she used to teach out of their home.
She’s definitely an individual. She and her brother write all the music together and he’s an incredible producer. Bury a friend is from the POV of the monster under the bed according to Billie so - hence the spooky vibe. She had radio success with “bad guy” and “when the party’s over”. Check out the video for “bad guy” and the Grammy performance of “when the party’s over” - trust me.
My favorite thing during Billie Eilish reactions is when people struggle with who she sounds like, the suggestions are usually people she’s never heard of let alone influences. I quit trying to sum up her music lol. Anyway, this was a great reaction. Metal fans are always musically intelligent compared to pop fans
She perfectly shows what it feels like to have sleep paralysis, to be trapped in your own mind and body and to see things that are there, but not. When I watched that video I was hooked, was the first one I watched from her and then got interested in her art. She has synesthesia like me, she knows how that feels like combined with deep depression and seeing shit. She is a decade younger but she really makes me feel like I'm not alone in my fucking basement, facing demons. And therefore I really admire her cause it takes some freaking bravery to show your inner demons and what they look, sound and feel like.
Her and her brother Finneas made her albums out of their parents' house. THEIR OWN HOUSE!!!! Finneas is super gifted, but people seem to forget about him.
Love her originality. She's so real and she touches on real problems that everyday people deal with. She seems to have similar demons that I face, depression, anxiety etc. I love that she's not afraid to face her fears and be real about stuff. I'm just reiterating now. Anyways, she's amazing. I love her voice it just makes her lyrics feel so alive. I don't think there is a song by her that I even remotely dislike. I love them all. I love how she also leaves her fans to the lyrics for themselves. I think that only makes it easier to connect with the songs on your own personal level. However, I would love to know some times why she wrote the song with her brother. They are just both amazing people that I'd love to meet. One last thing I'll say is she reaches so many people to the young and old. She doesn't have a specific demographic. At least that's how I feel. Anyone I have ever had listen to her music doesn't have anything negative to say.
The one thing I have to say that got me fully into Billie’s music, is the fact that you can’t avoid really really FEELING something, every time you hear her music. You stop everything else and just listen. The lyrics and her fantastic voice are unavoidable, and you get immersed in a whole different way than any other music, sorta. I’ve never felt all this with another artist or music group, and it grabbed me instantly. Her music is crazy good!
I love her. I'm almost 40 and I think she's amazing. My 11 year old loves her too. I took her on March 10th to see Billie in Concert in Orlando. It was her first concert and my daughter had the most amazing time. I got her some merch and at one point in the show during a transitional period Billie came within 5 feet of us. We could have reached out and touched her. She's such an inspiration and so humbled by all her fame. She loves her fans too. I hope Hollywood never taints the amazing person she is.
Bury A Friend is the first Billie Eilish song I discovered and I immediately fell in love with it because it hit straight home with me. It gives the impression of experiencing a bad dream, and I've been in that state of mind more than any person should where life gets so bad and traumatic that you can't believe it's real, that you must be asking yourself whether you're actually living a horrible nightmare. To me it felt satisfying to watch and listen to because it gives recognition to the bad shit that happens in people's lives. I think that's something very important that people crave when they experience suffering, is just recognition because nobody wants to feel they're goddamn alone in the world. To me this song is about having toxic people in your life and feeling like you've become a toxic person because of it, because of narcissistic abuse. It's becoming aware of the horrible ways you try to cope with it, becoming aware that you're capable of behaving like a person you never wanted be and a person that causes harm to others who cause harm to you. It's about knowing you can be just as horrible as those harmful people and literally saying 'why don't you run from me? why aren't you scared of me?' I think there's a sense of remorse involved too because if you really mean harm to someone, you're never going to give them an open warning pretty much. It's about calling somebody out for suspecting they have bad intentions. It's this entire story of just a toxic relationship or friendship, really, at least the way I see it. It's about knowing what makes you valuable to harmful people who want to exploit you and openly saying what you suspect they could be after. For her it's fame, she talks about how people want to exploit her for fame. I think the lyrics are still vague enough to be left to your own interpretation though but I mean I've seen interviews of her, I'm pretty sure about that one but I'm still giving you my interpretation in my own words. The part where she's singing about debt and selling her soul, I think it's about thinking: to redeem yourself for something horrible you've done you gotta do things that are against your nature, against who you are and harmful to yourself and I feel like that ties in perfectly into this story of experiencing a toxic relationship, the way that I know toxic relationships. But for Billie, I'm not entirely sure what that part specifically means to her. I think that's basically my entire interpretation.. Long story short: it's about a horrible, harmful relationship from my point of view. But all of that really says allot more about me than it says about Billie, probably.
The song is about sleep paralysis and she is her own darkness and she is making terms and peace with it. I have night terrors and sleep paralysis as well and they cause me weird ass dreams
He really was. Do you remember the interview he gave in the later years, I want to say it was very late 1970 and it was on Dutch tv where he was asked about "the future of music" and he proceeded to give a very accurate description of what we have today. I may not have the details right (probably not) about the interview but, I definitely remember being floored by his answer. I'll try to find it. Thanks a bunch for hanging out with us through the video!
@@sportosp-0158 Yeah when he talked about machines, electro etc. Well I think it was already taking shape on his earlier works come 21st century and he was right all along.
She honestly has gotten a ton of radio play. It's like you said, media is changing, and so is the definition of what can go "mainstream." It's really cool to see this wave of genre-busting artists, Billie, Post Malone, Lil Nas X, the list goes on.
This is from the perspective of the “monster under the bed”. “....why aren’t you scared of me, what do you know?” She does have (or used to have) night terrors and sleep paralysis. Bottom line is I’m 46 and have loved all kinds of music throughout my life. This girl and her brother (Producer of the Year Grammy winner, FYI) are the most talented music makers of this generation. Love everything they do. He has his own career and music too. Amazing.
Hey! I just wanted to say I loved the video! I’m glad y’all gave her a shot! Billie has quickly become one of my favorite artist bc she is so raw about her emotions and struggles with mental illness. She is the true meaning of an artist and she works with more than just her voice, there was an interview about how she loves to be really hands on about how her videos are written and play out. I loved yalls reaction to her! Keep on giving us vids! Love it!
I just have to say y'all are so frigging sweet. Like just the dynamic, I don't actually see too many men who genuinely seem comfortable around one another and aren't tryna buck up and show off. Bravo.
When I first heard this song I also immediately thought of people are strange by the doors but when I’d tell people nobody else heard it so I’m really glad you said that! Haha🤘🏽
I love watching you guys react to Billie 'cos I'm a metalhead too and it's like watching myself discover Billie recently and just loving the darkness and originality.
As someone who suffers from sleep paralysis on a regular basis, this video is such a spot on representation of the feelings and hallucinations associated with it. Mine mostly consist of someone standing at the end of my bed staring at me, seeing spiders all over my roof and walls, and feeling immense pressure on my chest, throat and head. The hands grabbing at her and the needles is probably the best representation of the suffocating feeling I get with the immense pressures I experience.
There are many layers of personal meaning in this song. One of the main themes is the philosophical question of where our consciousness goes when we fall asleep. That theme is bled into a larger philosophical question of what happens after we die. This is something specifically troubling to Billie having friends who’ve lost their lives at a young age and dealing with that reality as such a young girl.
Her songs are played on the radio, oddly enough. Her first recorded song, “Ocean Eyes”, was written and produced by her and her brother when she was 13/14. Her dance studio requested something from her because they knew she and FINNEAS were dabbling with music. If you ever get a chance to watch any interviews of the two of them together, they talk about how they make music. It’s awesome creativity. Watch that “Ocean Eyes” video.
I love how these men who don’t exactly know her music but one song prior to this give her an honest chance & head bopped to this. Most ppl make fun or say she’s demonic or depressing this and that. Despite everything, she’s good and different and not boring and like anyone else right now. Love it
Yeah this young lady is global. Her songs are all over the radio, media. Billie is legit talent! So is her brother ,who performs with her. this artist crosses gender, generation and music types. This girl ,and her brother finnias are a force. Good music, good people, and what family can do together. Billy is the shit!
She has all different kinds of music, not just extremely creepy stuff. I've been listening to all her music and I just discovered a song "Come Out and Play", because her and her brother played it live at the Steve Jobs theater a month ago. That version is a must watch and one of the most beautiful songs she's written, an new favorite for me. But there are tons of songs that they write that are just amazing beautiful original hits. Seriously, the more you hear her , the more you'll fall in love.
From the point of view of the monster under the bed... also Sleep paralysis, phobias, nightmares. “My limbs all froze and my eyes won’t close” etc. also her and her brother record random sounds they hear in everyday life and add them in during production. In this song you can her a dentist drill that she recorded on her phone while they prepped her teeth for Invisalign. They’re fucking brilliant man
Miss.Frankie yeah I heard when they were in Australia they heard the sound for when you cross and they thought it had a good sound and now it’s in bad guy sorry that was confusing I couldn’t explain what they’re called to other people
all of her videos are such good pieces of art. This video, "All the good girls go to hell", "You should see me in a crown" and "When the party's over" are my favorite to watch
I like her music because it's weird and different, and I like weird and different songs. If you guys would like to do more of these, I recommend bad guy, xanny, when the party's over, COPYCAT, lovely, ilomilo, and my boy
I find her music resonates with my own issues even though my issues are not hers. Her music is full of understated emotion and her lyrics are open for interpretation making it easy to relate to the emotion. While I've never experienced depression I do have personal quirks I wouldn't mind burying.
This song is about her night terrors. She can't close her eyes, she can't move her body, etc. Sidenote: You know, if you watch her videos in order of release they are a story... Each video begins where the last ends.
You guys have no idea her songs are ALL over the radio. Also, her breakthrough came from the song she wrote with her brother Finneas when she was 13 and he was 18. The internet made her famous. They are brilliant.
Nightmares and lucid dreaming. The guy was talking in his sleep. She was the monster under his bed so to speak. Glad you guys are watching this!! You guys are awesome! Hope that helps.
In this song she is the monster under her own bed. She wrote it from that perspective. She deals with depression, nightmares etc. She wakes up in the middle of the night and writes it on her bedroom wall.
Eilish was all over the radio for months when Bad Guy got big. When the Party's Over was also played A LOT. Highly recommend When the Party's Over and All the Good Girls Go to Hell for review. My personal favorite is Bellyache tho.
Apparently she uploaded her song ocean eyes with a link to a free download to her music teacher but it was posted public rather than private by mistake. By the time she woke up the next day it had been viewed over a million times. Found yours through a Billie link but love you guys :)
Billie Eilish’s brother writes a lot of her music with her/for her as well, and he produces all of her music. It’s great witching interviews with the both of them since they have their own ways of doing things and you can see their passion behind it. Definitely think you guys should react to more from her!!
Her brother and her wrote songs together and finneas produces it. This song is about sleep paralysis. Her music gets played on the radio! Also both her and her brother won tons of Grammys
Nice reaction! Watch/listen to when the party's over, you should see me in a crown, bad guy, and some acapella stuff. Her voice is beautiful. I think she will be fine without radio. There are tons of artists who aren't on the radio and are doing amazing. She's recreating "pop" music and I'm here for it!
Thank you very much. I'm very glad she'll continue to do great without radio support. I kinda don't like most radio stations today, if it wasn't apparent... haha. I briefly previewed a clip of her "you should see me in a crown" live from Austin and the amount of people there and everyone singing along to every word was just cool as hell.
@@sportosp-0158 I first heard her on the radio, You Should See Me In a Crown. Several radio stations around here play her and the one I heard her on first plays several of her songs.
The song and video are about nightmares and sleep paralysis, including the title "bury a friend" which is about the fear of losing a friend, something she went through and we can all relate as being a real nightmare. I'm not sure if it's confirmed, but I see the injections as meds for her to sleep but it's just a cycle of meds, nightmares and sleep paralysis. Really liking you guys' reactions to her!
She has a lot of stuff worth listening to and she has an amazing voice along with the great production from her brother but her best songs imo are from her earlier ep. "Bellyache" and "Copycat". Check them out. "Ilomilo" is a less acknowledged gem also.
Oh yes. Definitely. I loved Bellyache and Ilomilo might be my favorite song from her, it's got such a special feeling to it. So good. Listen to it guys !
@@Terofu I honestly cant pick a favorite. I know that 8 is one that I wont skip but I dont actively search for. I dont like lovely, but that's cause lyrically it throws me. And for some reason I cant get past the first verse of bored. I dont like Vincent Staples or remixs so &burn isnt on my playlist at all. I have a special spot for Six Feet Under because it was the first song I heard so I'm attached.
@@AmdisSix that's a good one too. I heard six feet under and the next one that came up was ocean eyes and I was hooked. I can listen to her all day and not get sick of a song. She said in her 3rd year in a row vanity fair interview "shouldnt your favorite artist be one who release music you only like?" And I was like....well damn guess Billies my favorite now...
The best of her is see how young she is (just turned 18) and how independent she is with her art. Also, her brother is her producer and co-writer, that man is a genius btw
If you have nightmares and night terrors regularly you are not confused by the song or video, you'll recognize it instantly. She translated it perfectly, it all makes sense.
"I wanna end me" pretty much tells you the main meaning of the song. She was depressed and had suicidal thoughts for years. Her song "Bad guy" got her a lot of radio rime (I'm pretty sure you've heard it somewhere). You should watch that next it's more upbeat and kinda "silly" in a humorous way (which is obviously why got radio time although songs like bury a friend are better imo). If you want another spooky "You should see me in a crown" is a must. "When the party is over" also got radio time and has a very memorable music video. "Ocean eyes" is what got her popular online which she recorded at 13(!!!).
What I find incredible is that Billie and her brother wrote and recorded the whole album together in the brother's very tiny bedroom, writing the song titles on the wall with a sharpie on the wall as they went along. You don't get more raw than that.
atleast in puerto rico, i got to hear like 4 of her songs on the radio, which is quite alot considering not many artists have more than 1 song in a span of 1-4 months. depends on which station
I like that you react to a variety of genres. After catching a few of your reactions over the past months I’ve now subbed. Keep up the great genuine reactions.
Ohh yes, I would definitely watch that as well! But I think it’s important for them to watch her videos first because it gives a more complete picture of her artistry since they have synesthesia and all her videos are either directed or edited by her or otherwise fully her artistic direction and vision (I think except from “Hostage” which was a big deal for her because she gave full creative visual control to somebody else for the first/ only time).
Dude she has alot of meaning in her music videos and all of her music is so different , she and her brother Finneas makes their music in their bedroom!! She is real rare shit man🔥 I dig it!
That’s the guy who’s voice you hear. ‘Billie’ ‘come here’ that’s the guy in the bed. This song is literally about her wondering where we go when we fall asleep. Like how do we just do nothing for hours
I love how different she truly is and how much she doesn’t conform to the norm! And this song is about sleep paralysis which she suffers from and she also wrote this during a very dark time in her life hence the “ I wanna end me”. Her and her brother wrote all their music and she’s been directing her recent videos. She also wrote the new James Bond theme song which is amazing too.
I love you guys! I watch a LOT of reactors, but you guys are fun and real and normal people! I'm subscribing in the hopes that you'll go ahead and do ALL of Billie's songs!
Superb review. Many thanks! The People Are Strange comment is genius... of course that's what it is! My entry into Billie was the "When The Party's Over" video. Very different song and video to the two you have done so far. Holy shit. It will mesmerize you! I'm a 49-yr old guy and I find this girl and her brother a daily inspiration. Also make sure you watch her Carpool Karaoke episode. It will give you the truest picture of her incredible story, her unique upbringing and her extraordinary talent in 17 mins flat. th-cam.com/video/uh2qGWfmESk/w-d-xo.html
In one of here interviews she said that "buried friend" is her. She was once sitting by the window at some hotel and thinking really seriously about to jump. And these depressions happend so often to her that she really realistically thought she won't live to her 17 birthday.
Well since you asked here's my 4th and hopefully last comment lol. I could write a book on Billie apparently. Billie says the song is about her night terrors. It's obviously of course mixed with her suicidal thoughts. She also says it's about the question that she's always wondered about, "When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?" Which is the title of her debut album which this song is on. She keeps repeating this one important detail, she likes to leave her songs up for interpretation. She loves that each individual person who listens to her songs will have a different idea of what it means to them personally. She thinks that's beautiful. I can say that the high pitched whirring in the background is actually a bit they recorded from Billie at the dentist having her teeth drilled lol. So that's something. Finneas likes to record sounds that he likes as he goes along his day and he often winds up using them in songs. For instance almost the entire beat to Billie's song Bad Guy literally comes from the sound that the crosswalk button makes in Australia lmao. And the man in the video, unfortunately I dont know his name, is a friend of Billie's. She says she got an idea and texted him asking for him to just send an audio recording of him saying her name. "Billie." So that's where that came from. They're friends in real life. But of course I'm quite sure he's also an artist.
Ooooo then you guys didnt get to her grammy song of the year then. React to *BAD GUY Billie Eilish* she is not about how long she will last nor did she expect to have a grammy at all. She only wanted to make music with her brother that they love. She just so happen to be.... *THAT ARTIST.*
She and her brother write her songs she got the idea of "when we all fall asleep where do we go" when she woke up in the morning with a sprained ankle and she only had been sleeping the night before
the first song of hers to ever go viral was Ocean Eyes. id love to see you guys react to that, and my favorite song of hers called Xanny. if you really want to understand her songs, there are little videos on her channel called "a snippet into billie's mind" where she and her brother describe writing their songs. its pretty interesting because billie has synesthesia, so she experiences sound in a really unique way.
Dude, thats how we know we are getting old! The kids have known about Billie for a 1, 2 even 3 years or more. You go from only the kids knowing about her to now turning on the radio/TV and hearing old people talking about her. I hope that is not a bad sign for Billie!
LMFAO I ADORE how they keep saying “you wouldn’t hear her music on the radio” when she is literally on every Pop/Alternative/Indie/etc. station there is rn
Woke up with sleep paralysis after dreaming that i was up in a top floor of a house hiding from a demon who took possession of my in dream gf, and used her eyes to see me and i was looking back into it, eyes blacked out and it was screaming in its language at me and everything slowed down and it was hard to breathe in my dream
Sleep paralysis is so scary. Can't talk, can't move my arms or legs, feels like im having trouble breathing. I feel for anyone who struggles with this.
finneas (o’connel) is her brother & her producer. he writes with/for her too. finneas is so incredibly talented, it’s ridiculous. they write, record & produce everything in their parent’s house
👍 good review, dudes. About your convo about playing on radio, did you know Billie is the first artist EVER to hit num #1 on Billboard without first hitting num #1 on Radio? That never happened in the history of music. That caused huge soul searching among radio d.j.s about her "not paying dues" and crap like that. But Billie has her own built-in audience on social media larger than any radio network or tv station. That's another way Billie is not your typical singer. She can do what she likes and that's why now radio comes to her asking what songs to play? For you next reviews, you should look at her live performances. They are really a treat. Here are two quick samples: th-cam.com/video/SxoRryWApic/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/q--EFDQT9pM/w-d-xo.html and another one (in a nod to Rob Zombie): th-cam.com/video/7xEjr39yYuo/w-d-xo.html
I don't know though if your longevity on these days is tied so much to how much your music is played in radio what comes to music. I have heard her played quite a lot in Finnish radio...well she has to be played quite a lot in Finnish radio since I don't listen radio much but her music seems to be there when I end up listening radio. People are not so tied to radio anymore what comes to finding and listening new artists. Back when I was young radio was pretty much only way to find new music in this country but now we have so many other platforms. What is really good thing. And things does change in radio too. She is currently in A-list in our national radio with songs that they want to make sure to be played enough in radio with her song Everything I wanted. But since this is pretty dark country maybe we don't have similar problems to play her in radio that States have. And the other thing is that her audience is quite versitile what comes to ages. My mom loves her music and have her music playing on background when she is working with patients and loves to tell who she is to her customers and she is getting near 70. So it is not just young people who are listening her So things are changing in music industry and I think that is good thing. Artists don't have to mold themselves anymore to record labels demands to get their music out and be cut with same cookie cutter. My prediction is we will start to see more artists like her, who are in their own individual path without minding what the "industry" demands are and they will have long successful careers...and the radio will follow them instead of leading.
@@Virpukka Which station? Radio city or ... I forget the name of the other. Probably the other one since that was more "alternative" for lack of a better word. Or is Radio city still busy playing The Scorpions every half hour? Also, thanks a bunch for the comment, I completely agree, and thank you for watching! Kiitos
The song is about the monster under the bed, but it's the monster singing. The monster under her bed, to be specific. Lets face it, we've all had similar scares growing up, and when you have depression, those monsters kinda never go away. And she's still very young, she just turned 18 this year.
My new hobby is watching Billie Eilish reaction videos.
Garry Ward RIGHT?? 😂
Same
Same
Literally me RIGHT NOW! LOL
same. since last year i always do that on different channels.lol
The dude is Crooks, a British Rapper friend of Billie's. Her brother cowrote and produced the song. Video directed by the director of The Conjuring 3.
Awesome input! Thank you
Well no wonder the video is creepy as hell.
Oop. No wonder the fucked direction of the video lol. I assumed the director would be well seasoned in horror, but nice to know who exactly it is lol.
@Daemone Entheus Who cares if you care?
Billie was the official director, he just helped her :)
At roughly 6:04 theres a high pitched drill sound. thats a sound billie recorded herself while at a dentist appointment. Theres a lot of songs her and her brother go and find random sounds to put into their music.
You should react to Melanie Martinez
You should react to "all good girls go to hell" by Billie Eilish it's the , a continuation of this song I mean video-wise.
Nah next song is Ilomillo
Angel Asuncion Grau theyre talking about the music videos being connected cause they are
Karen Williams no thats ilomilo
O K lyric wise its ilomilo
Something -- in the album ilomilo is after bury a friend and they’re connected by sound but the mv to bury a friend is connected to the mv to all the good girls go to hell
To me, the song is basically about being your own worst enemy/your own toughest critic. If I remember correctly, she talked about being “the monster under someone's bed” being a huge inspiration for the song
So the needles part could possibly be your own self "stabbing yourself in the back" and injecting yourself with some "i'm not good enough" ?? Very interesting, indeed. Thanks a bunch for your take on it. As I said: I do enjoy hearing them!
Actually she said it's about her struggles with sleep paralysis. The worst enemy works too because she a put herself in the place of her own sleep paralysis demon
@@RoyalPandemic yes that's what I read as well
Yea she said it was like from the perspective of the monster under her bed and shes the monster, her own monster i guess. And she has sleep paralysis, hence the frozen limbs and eyes won't close. Not a fun experience. Very cool song
The best way to try to interpret her music is based on how it feels. This song made me feel stuck or trapped without really understanding the lyrics. Later I learned it was about sleep paralysis, and basically she represents a dream demon in the video. Also, she’s on the radio A Lot, just turned 18, and has absolutely exploded on the music scene. Her music is the music that no one knew they wanted until they heard it and realized it’s everything.
The last sentence of your comment is a genius observation, I agree totally!!!
Yeah, her songs definitely hit a 'spot' of sorts. Well said. Thanks for the comment and thank you for hanging out with us through the video!
Especially because so much of her sound revolves around feeling. Like in xanny the chorus is distorted and bass heavy because that’s what it feels like when you breathe in smoke. And the verses are light and airy, which is what smoke looks like. It’s so cool
@@helenhunt5414, truer words have never been spoken! I love how she wrote exactly how I feel about this talented singer/songwriter!
@@lindseybsmith I wish everyone could understand that!
React to "you should see me in a crown" , "when the party's over", and "bad guy"
Yes, these 3 are a must!
They would freak out with the “you should see me in a crown” video but I’m all for it! 🤣
yes!
Also, All the Good Girls Go to Hell
They will end up talking like squeaking high pitched mice realizing metal is so dead.
She’s all over the radio. And her songs have been used in so many commercials and tv shows and movies in the last year. She was first noticed by her song Ocean Eyes that she recorded when she was 13 and made the video the day after she turned 14. She just turned 18 a couple months ago.
but she really isn't aiming for the radio and i don;t think she would care too much if they didn't play her music.
Did you know her songs were on tv before she was really discovered? The CW used her songs in a lot of their shows. I found her from her song Six Feet Under when it played on The Vampire Diaries 3 years ago. I've been following her since.
She's also doing the main theme for the next James Bond or something
@@crydunkey5982 yeah, the youngest artist to do so. Also the only artist to preform at the Oscar's who's song isnt already listed in a movie.
Ocean Eyes sounds sooo pretty too... D:
OH MY GOD I AM FREAKING OUT RIGHT NOW DUDE. I have said from day ONE that this song reminded me of People are Strange by The Doors. Noone believes me, I have never heard that comparison before. THANK. YOU. I couldn't place what exactly was similar but immediately when I heard this song, I thought of People Are Strange. *I feel so validated right now.* Can't believe you just said that.
Hey, maybe I'm sitting here feeling the same way right now! Because I definitely said it haha. If anyone wants to disagree with you further about this song, you just have 'em talk to ol' Sporto and together, we'll set 'em right about it. Hey, thanks for watching =]
Sorry man, but this is sacrilege to The Doors. Yep there's a little similarity in terms of pacing, style, and beat but "People Are Strange" is waaay more melodic and catchier than this bland, creepy whisper-song crap--that it had to be reinforced by an Exorcist-like vid.
mel124177 ok
I recognized it as like a Doors song immediately but then I found the song it wasn't as similar as I thought. It's a bit like when Gotye did that Sting song that Sting forgot to write.
Same boat
She has synesthesia, which make her feel, smell and picture the songs that she makes... she said multiple times that everyone of her songs has a certain temperature, smell, feel and color....
Soooooo with her music everything is on the way they make you feel about...
Ohh, I missed this info. Cool!
wow! I didn't know that she had that! ... I read a book called "The Book of Dreams" last year and I learned about synesthesia. It's a fictional book about a kid that has it and he tries to reconnect to his dad that has fallen in a coma...very interesting read.
I didn't know that about her, but it explains a lot. I also have synesthesia and her music is pretty awesome on way more levels than most. It feels more together. Knowing that it's written that way rather than being happy accident makes sense.
But his brother makes the music not her.
Source? This is so awesome if trueee
When you said she would have written poems in school - she’s home schooled. She started writing her own songs as a pre-teen. Their first song that got big was “Ocean Eyes” which she recorded when she was thirteen!!
Although Fineas wrote that song not Billie. He's an amazing artist as well.
Lisa I know, he wrote ocean eyes and when the party is over, and the rest they wrote together, but I didn’t write that she wrote it, I wrote “their first song that got big” ;)
I was watching an interview with her and she said she actually wrote her first song when she was 8yo
@@bevwhittle461 yes, she sang it on Carpool Karioki, but her first produced and published song was Crossed Fingers, that she wrote at age 11, for her mom's songwriting class that she used to teach out of their home.
She’s definitely an individual. She and her brother write all the music together and he’s an incredible producer. Bury a friend is from the POV of the monster under the bed according to Billie so - hence the spooky vibe.
She had radio success with “bad guy” and “when the party’s over”. Check out the video for “bad guy” and the Grammy performance of “when the party’s over” - trust me.
@M 40 YES!
M 40 fair enough lol
Yes, video first but that grammy performance
Vanessa McCoy 😭😭🙏🏻 bless her emotive little heart - she was feeling that song that night.
My favorite thing during Billie Eilish reactions is when people struggle with who she sounds like, the suggestions are usually people she’s never heard of let alone influences.
I quit trying to sum up her music lol.
Anyway, this was a great reaction. Metal fans are always musically intelligent compared to pop fans
She perfectly shows what it feels like to have sleep paralysis, to be trapped in your own mind and body and to see things that are there, but not. When I watched that video I was hooked, was the first one I watched from her and then got interested in her art. She has synesthesia like me, she knows how that feels like combined with deep depression and seeing shit. She is a decade younger but she really makes me feel like I'm not alone in my fucking basement, facing demons. And therefore I really admire her cause it takes some freaking bravery to show your inner demons and what they look, sound and feel like.
She's one of the few that address the incredible sadness that so many people face. It makes them feel like they aren't alone anymore.
Her and her brother Finneas made her albums out of their parents' house. THEIR OWN HOUSE!!!! Finneas is super gifted, but people seem to forget about him.
*she and her brother.
He also sings
No one forgets him thanks to Billie.
Love her originality. She's so real and she touches on real problems that everyday people deal with. She seems to have similar demons that I face, depression, anxiety etc. I love that she's not afraid to face her fears and be real about stuff. I'm just reiterating now.
Anyways, she's amazing. I love her voice it just makes her lyrics feel so alive. I don't think there is a song by her that I even remotely dislike. I love them all. I love how she also leaves her fans to the lyrics for themselves. I think that only makes it easier to connect with the songs on your own personal level. However, I would love to know some times why she wrote the song with her brother. They are just both amazing people that I'd love to meet.
One last thing I'll say is she reaches so many people to the young and old. She doesn't have a specific demographic. At least that's how I feel. Anyone I have ever had listen to her music doesn't have anything negative to say.
The one thing I have to say that got me fully into Billie’s music, is the fact that you can’t avoid really really FEELING something, every time you hear her music. You stop everything else and just listen. The lyrics and her fantastic voice are unavoidable, and you get immersed in a whole different way than any other music, sorta. I’ve never felt all this with another artist or music group, and it grabbed me instantly. Her music is crazy good!
"When the party is over" is a great song and video too, so emotional and deep.
I love her. I'm almost 40 and I think she's amazing. My 11 year old loves her too. I took her on March 10th to see Billie in Concert in Orlando. It was her first concert and my daughter had the most amazing time. I got her some merch and at one point in the show during a transitional period Billie came within 5 feet of us. We could have reached out and touched her. She's such an inspiration and so humbled by all her fame. She loves her fans too. I hope Hollywood never taints the amazing person she is.
"Hate those commercials"
TH-cam immediately throws up a commercial right after they make that comment.
Bury A Friend is the first Billie Eilish song I discovered and I immediately fell in love with it because it hit straight home with me. It gives the impression of experiencing a bad dream, and I've been in that state of mind more than any person should where life gets so bad and traumatic that you can't believe it's real, that you must be asking yourself whether you're actually living a horrible nightmare. To me it felt satisfying to watch and listen to because it gives recognition to the bad shit that happens in people's lives. I think that's something very important that people crave when they experience suffering, is just recognition because nobody wants to feel they're goddamn alone in the world. To me this song is about having toxic people in your life and feeling like you've become a toxic person because of it, because of narcissistic abuse. It's becoming aware of the horrible ways you try to cope with it, becoming aware that you're capable of behaving like a person you never wanted be and a person that causes harm to others who cause harm to you. It's about knowing you can be just as horrible as those harmful people and literally saying 'why don't you run from me? why aren't you scared of me?' I think there's a sense of remorse involved too because if you really mean harm to someone, you're never going to give them an open warning pretty much. It's about calling somebody out for suspecting they have bad intentions. It's this entire story of just a toxic relationship or friendship, really, at least the way I see it. It's about knowing what makes you valuable to harmful people who want to exploit you and openly saying what you suspect they could be after. For her it's fame, she talks about how people want to exploit her for fame. I think the lyrics are still vague enough to be left to your own interpretation though but I mean I've seen interviews of her, I'm pretty sure about that one but I'm still giving you my interpretation in my own words. The part where she's singing about debt and selling her soul, I think it's about thinking: to redeem yourself for something horrible you've done you gotta do things that are against your nature, against who you are and harmful to yourself and I feel like that ties in perfectly into this story of experiencing a toxic relationship, the way that I know toxic relationships. But for Billie, I'm not entirely sure what that part specifically means to her. I think that's basically my entire interpretation.. Long story short: it's about a horrible, harmful relationship from my point of view. But all of that really says allot more about me than it says about Billie, probably.
The song is about sleep paralysis and she is her own darkness and she is making terms and peace with it. I have night terrors and sleep paralysis as well and they cause me weird ass dreams
I loved how you remember Jim Morrison, that guy is so ahead of his time.
He really was. Do you remember the interview he gave in the later years, I want to say it was very late 1970 and it was on Dutch tv where he was asked about "the future of music" and he proceeded to give a very accurate description of what we have today. I may not have the details right (probably not) about the interview but, I definitely remember being floored by his answer. I'll try to find it. Thanks a bunch for hanging out with us through the video!
@@sportosp-0158 Yeah when he talked about machines, electro etc. Well I think it was already taking shape on his earlier works come 21st century and he was right all along.
People are strange when your a stranger, faces look ugly when your alone.
basically this song is about her sleep paralysis and how she sees herself as the demon under her bed. she is her worst enemy, her own critic.
She honestly has gotten a ton of radio play. It's like you said, media is changing, and so is the definition of what can go "mainstream." It's really cool to see this wave of genre-busting artists, Billie, Post Malone, Lil Nas X, the list goes on.
This is from the perspective of the “monster under the bed”. “....why aren’t you scared of me, what do you know?” She does have (or used to have) night terrors and sleep paralysis. Bottom line is I’m 46 and have loved all kinds of music throughout my life. This girl and her brother (Producer of the Year Grammy winner, FYI) are the most talented music makers of this generation. Love everything they do. He has his own career and music too. Amazing.
Hey! I just wanted to say I loved the video! I’m glad y’all gave her a shot! Billie has quickly become one of my favorite artist bc she is so raw about her emotions and struggles with mental illness. She is the true meaning of an artist and she works with more than just her voice, there was an interview about how she loves to be really hands on about how her videos are written and play out. I loved yalls reaction to her! Keep on giving us vids! Love it!
“When you’re strange, people come out of the night.”
When your strange, people come out of the rain. When your strange, nobody remembers your name.
Shes always on the radio. Bad guy, crown, good girls, this one the one you did before this. Shes such an amazing artist
She wrote the song for the new coming Bond movie. I can’t wait to hear that
I just have to say y'all are so frigging sweet. Like just the dynamic, I don't actually see too many men who genuinely seem comfortable around one another and aren't tryna buck up and show off. Bravo.
When I first heard this song I also immediately thought of people are strange by the doors but when I’d tell people nobody else heard it so I’m really glad you said that! Haha🤘🏽
I love watching you guys react to Billie 'cos I'm a metalhead too and it's like watching myself discover Billie recently and just loving the darkness and originality.
I like the comparison to People Are Strange. I feel that.
As someone who suffers from sleep paralysis on a regular basis, this video is such a spot on representation of the feelings and hallucinations associated with it. Mine mostly consist of someone standing at the end of my bed staring at me, seeing spiders all over my roof and walls, and feeling immense pressure on my chest, throat and head. The hands grabbing at her and the needles is probably the best representation of the suffocating feeling I get with the immense pressures I experience.
More Billie!
There are many layers of personal meaning in this song. One of the main themes is the philosophical question of where our consciousness goes when we fall asleep. That theme is bled into a larger philosophical question of what happens after we die. This is something specifically troubling to Billie having friends who’ve lost their lives at a young age and dealing with that reality as such a young girl.
He said she got the coronavirus I’m ded 🤣
Ninadaweirdo same lol
Damn
LMAOO SAMEE
and he looked over to the other guy but got no reaction LOL
@@bindu996 I think you could see he didn't knew wether it was okay to laugh about that or not 😅
Her songs are played on the radio, oddly enough. Her first recorded song, “Ocean Eyes”, was written and produced by her and her brother when she was 13/14. Her dance studio requested something from her because they knew she and FINNEAS were dabbling with music. If you ever get a chance to watch any interviews of the two of them together, they talk about how they make music. It’s awesome creativity. Watch that “Ocean Eyes” video.
I love how these men who don’t exactly know her music but one song prior to this give her an honest chance & head bopped to this. Most ppl make fun or say she’s demonic or depressing this and that. Despite everything, she’s good and different and not boring and like anyone else right now. Love it
Yeah this young lady is global. Her songs are all over the radio, media. Billie is legit talent! So is her brother ,who performs with her. this artist crosses gender, generation and music types. This girl ,and her brother finnias are a force. Good music, good people, and what family can do together. Billy is the shit!
you two interacting is actually really entertaining
I love how creeped out you both look while watching Billie's videos. To me, it's watching an incredible songwriting duo's art come to life.
Great reaction overall, didn't even realize the similarity to "People Are Strange" until you mentioned it
She has all different kinds of music, not just extremely creepy stuff. I've been listening to all her music and I just discovered a song "Come Out and Play", because her and her brother played it live at the Steve Jobs theater a month ago. That version is a must watch and one of the most beautiful songs she's written, an new favorite for me. But there are tons of songs that they write that are just amazing beautiful original hits. Seriously, the more you hear her , the more you'll fall in love.
From the point of view of the monster under the bed... also Sleep paralysis, phobias, nightmares.
“My limbs all froze and my eyes won’t close” etc. also her and her brother record random sounds they hear in everyday life and add them in during production. In this song you can her a dentist drill that she recorded on her phone while they prepped her teeth for Invisalign. They’re fucking brilliant man
Miss.Frankie yeah I heard when they were in Australia they heard the sound for when you cross and they thought it had a good sound and now it’s in bad guy sorry that was confusing I couldn’t explain what they’re called to other people
jenifer harkness I saw that too! That’s so cool!
all of her videos are such good pieces of art. This video, "All the good girls go to hell", "You should see me in a crown" and "When the party's over" are my favorite to watch
I like her music because it's weird and different, and I like weird and different songs. If you guys would like to do more of these, I recommend bad guy, xanny, when the party's over, COPYCAT, lovely, ilomilo, and my boy
I find her music resonates with my own issues even though my issues are not hers. Her music is full of understated emotion and her lyrics are open for interpretation making it easy to relate to the emotion.
While I've never experienced depression I do have personal quirks I wouldn't mind burying.
This song is about her night terrors. She can't close her eyes, she can't move her body, etc. Sidenote: You know, if you watch her videos in order of release they are a story... Each video begins where the last ends.
You guys have no idea her songs are ALL over the radio. Also, her breakthrough came from the song she wrote with her brother Finneas when she was 13 and he was 18. The internet made her famous. They are brilliant.
Nightmares and lucid dreaming. The guy was talking in his sleep. She was the monster under his bed so to speak. Glad you guys are watching this!! You guys are awesome! Hope that helps.
In this song she is the monster under her own bed. She wrote it from that perspective. She deals with depression, nightmares etc. She wakes up in the middle of the night and writes it on her bedroom wall.
Eilish was all over the radio for months when Bad Guy got big. When the Party's Over was also played A LOT. Highly recommend When the Party's Over and All the Good Girls Go to Hell for review. My personal favorite is Bellyache tho.
Apparently she uploaded her song ocean eyes with a link to a free download to her music teacher but it was posted public rather than private by mistake. By the time she woke up the next day it had been viewed over a million times. Found yours through a Billie link but love you guys :)
The melody is like the song people are strange by the doors, I agree with sporto.
Billie Eilish’s brother writes a lot of her music with her/for her as well, and he produces all of her music. It’s great witching interviews with the both of them since they have their own ways of doing things and you can see their passion behind it. Definitely think you guys should react to more from her!!
You should react to FINNEAS’ (her brother) music, it’s so good and different from hers
Her brother and her wrote songs together and finneas produces it. This song is about sleep paralysis.
Her music gets played on the radio! Also both her and her brother won tons of Grammys
Nice reaction! Watch/listen to when the party's over, you should see me in a crown, bad guy, and some acapella stuff. Her voice is beautiful.
I think she will be fine without radio. There are tons of artists who aren't on the radio and are doing amazing. She's recreating "pop" music and I'm here for it!
Thank you very much. I'm very glad she'll continue to do great without radio support. I kinda don't like most radio stations today, if it wasn't apparent... haha. I briefly previewed a clip of her "you should see me in a crown" live from Austin and the amount of people there and everyone singing along to every word was just cool as hell.
@@sportosp-0158 I first heard her on the radio, You Should See Me In a Crown. Several radio stations around here play her and the one I heard her on first plays several of her songs.
The song and video are about nightmares and sleep paralysis, including the title "bury a friend" which is about the fear of losing a friend, something she went through and we can all relate as being a real nightmare. I'm not sure if it's confirmed, but I see the injections as meds for her to sleep but it's just a cycle of meds, nightmares and sleep paralysis. Really liking you guys' reactions to her!
She has a lot of stuff worth listening to and she has an amazing voice along with the great production from her brother but her best songs imo are from her earlier ep. "Bellyache" and "Copycat". Check them out. "Ilomilo" is a less acknowledged gem also.
Also when I was older is very under rated....
Oh yes. Definitely. I loved Bellyache and Ilomilo might be my favorite song from her, it's got such a special feeling to it. So good. Listen to it guys !
@@Terofu I honestly cant pick a favorite. I know that 8 is one that I wont skip but I dont actively search for. I dont like lovely, but that's cause lyrically it throws me. And for some reason I cant get past the first verse of bored. I dont like Vincent Staples or remixs so &burn isnt on my playlist at all.
I have a special spot for Six Feet Under because it was the first song I heard so I'm attached.
Bellyache was my first song from Billie and I fell in love with the sound 💚💚
@@AmdisSix that's a good one too. I heard six feet under and the next one that came up was ocean eyes and I was hooked.
I can listen to her all day and not get sick of a song.
She said in her 3rd year in a row vanity fair interview "shouldnt your favorite artist be one who release music you only like?" And I was like....well damn guess Billies my favorite now...
The best of her is see how young she is (just turned 18) and how independent she is with her art. Also, her brother is her producer and co-writer, that man is a genius btw
It's about the "monsters" under our beds and trying to escape them. Anyway, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE react to "When The Party's Over" PLEASE!!!!!!
If you have nightmares and night terrors regularly you are not confused by the song or video, you'll recognize it instantly. She translated it perfectly, it all makes sense.
"I wanna end me" pretty much tells you the main meaning of the song. She was depressed and had suicidal thoughts for years.
Her song "Bad guy" got her a lot of radio rime (I'm pretty sure you've heard it somewhere). You should watch that next it's more upbeat and kinda "silly" in a humorous way (which is obviously why got radio time although songs like bury a friend are better imo). If you want another spooky "You should see me in a crown" is a must. "When the party is over" also got radio time and has a very memorable music video. "Ocean eyes" is what got her popular online which she recorded at 13(!!!).
What I find incredible is that Billie and her brother wrote and recorded the whole album together in the brother's very tiny bedroom, writing the song titles on the wall with a sharpie on the wall as they went along. You don't get more raw than that.
Billie has probably had the least amount of radio play of any Album of the Year Grammy winner so far.
atleast in puerto rico, i got to hear like 4 of her songs on the radio, which is quite alot considering not many artists have more than 1 song in a span of 1-4 months.
depends on which station
@@soltrice Lucky. Where i am, ive only heard Lovely & the truncated version of Bad Guy with any regularity.
Kacey Musgraves Golden Hour also didn't have that much radio play.
I like that you react to a variety of genres. After catching a few of your reactions over the past months I’ve now subbed. Keep up the great genuine reactions.
Please do a reaction to the whole album.
Also. I subbed just soni can see an album reaction
Ohh yes, I would definitely watch that as well! But I think it’s important for them to watch her videos first because it gives a more complete picture of her artistry since they have synesthesia and all her videos are either directed or edited by her or otherwise fully her artistic direction and vision (I think except from “Hostage” which was a big deal for her because she gave full creative visual control to somebody else for the first/ only time).
@@nomadine85 I agree. I feel like hostage is underrated.
@@ShanonMae225 Hostage is one of my favorite songs of hers. It's hauntingly beautiful.
Dude she has alot of meaning in her music videos and all of her music is so different , she and her brother Finneas makes their music in their bedroom!! She is real rare shit man🔥 I dig it!
That’s the guy who’s voice you hear. ‘Billie’ ‘come here’ that’s the guy in the bed. This song is literally about her wondering where we go when we fall asleep. Like how do we just do nothing for hours
I love how different she truly is and how much she doesn’t conform to the norm! And this song is about sleep paralysis which she suffers from and she also wrote this during a very dark time in her life hence the “ I wanna end me”. Her and her brother wrote all their music and she’s been directing her recent videos. She also wrote the new James Bond theme song which is amazing too.
“I like that dark, haunting, kinda disturbing sound”
Oh......ok good😂👍🏻
Billie eilish is amazing she gives so many different vibes...goosebumps all over
Hope you guys did part 2 of this song “ all the good girls go to hell”. You might want to watch them back to back
I love you guys! I watch a LOT of reactors, but you guys are fun and real and normal people! I'm subscribing in the hopes that you'll go ahead and do ALL of Billie's songs!
Superb review. Many thanks! The People Are Strange comment is genius... of course that's what it is! My entry into Billie was the "When The Party's Over" video. Very different song and video to the two you have done so far. Holy shit. It will mesmerize you! I'm a 49-yr old guy and I find this girl and her brother a daily inspiration. Also make sure you watch her Carpool Karaoke episode. It will give you the truest picture of her incredible story, her unique upbringing and her extraordinary talent in 17 mins flat. th-cam.com/video/uh2qGWfmESk/w-d-xo.html
In one of here interviews she said that "buried friend" is her. She was once sitting by the window at some hotel and thinking really seriously about to jump. And these depressions happend so often to her that she really realistically thought she won't live to her 17 birthday.
When I first watch this I really can't sleep 😂 this is like watching a super scary movie but shorter 😅
Well since you asked here's my 4th and hopefully last comment lol. I could write a book on Billie apparently. Billie says the song is about her night terrors. It's obviously of course mixed with her suicidal thoughts. She also says it's about the question that she's always wondered about, "When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?" Which is the title of her debut album which this song is on. She keeps repeating this one important detail, she likes to leave her songs up for interpretation. She loves that each individual person who listens to her songs will have a different idea of what it means to them personally. She thinks that's beautiful. I can say that the high pitched whirring in the background is actually a bit they recorded from Billie at the dentist having her teeth drilled lol. So that's something. Finneas likes to record sounds that he likes as he goes along his day and he often winds up using them in songs. For instance almost the entire beat to Billie's song Bad Guy literally comes from the sound that the crosswalk button makes in Australia lmao. And the man in the video, unfortunately I dont know his name, is a friend of Billie's. She says she got an idea and texted him asking for him to just send an audio recording of him saying her name. "Billie." So that's where that came from. They're friends in real life. But of course I'm quite sure he's also an artist.
Ooooo then you guys didnt get to her grammy song of the year then. React to *BAD GUY Billie Eilish* she is not about how long she will last nor did she expect to have a grammy at all. She only wanted to make music with her brother that they love. She just so happen to be.... *THAT ARTIST.*
She and her brother write her songs she got the idea of "when we all fall asleep where do we go" when she woke up in the morning with a sprained ankle and she only had been sleeping the night before
You should react to this Billie Eilish's song
- When The Party's Over
- All the good girls go to hell
- you should see me in a crown
"When the party is over" is my favorite video of hers.
Billie and her brother Finneas are the only one's who work on her music.
the first song of hers to ever go viral was Ocean Eyes. id love to see you guys react to that, and my favorite song of hers called Xanny.
if you really want to understand her songs, there are little videos on her channel called "a snippet into billie's mind" where she and her brother describe writing their songs. its pretty interesting because billie has synesthesia, so she experiences sound in a really unique way.
Can you guys watch "Billie Eilish - All the good girls go to hell" next?! I love that video/song so much and I'd love to see what you guys think of it
Dude, thats how we know we are getting old! The kids have known about Billie for a 1, 2 even 3 years or more. You go from only the kids knowing about her to now turning on the radio/TV and hearing old people talking about her. I hope that is not a bad sign for Billie!
I really like the Rammstein t-shirt
LMFAO I ADORE how they keep saying “you wouldn’t hear her music on the radio” when she is literally on every Pop/Alternative/Indie/etc. station there is rn
She's just 18 years old.
17*
Billie Eilish proving you can be heavy without being heavy
Woke up with sleep paralysis after dreaming that i was up in a top floor of a house hiding from a demon who took possession of my in dream gf, and used her eyes to see me and i was looking back into it, eyes blacked out and it was screaming in its language at me and everything slowed down and it was hard to breathe in my dream
Sleep paralysis is so scary. Can't talk, can't move my arms or legs, feels like im having trouble breathing. I feel for anyone who struggles with this.
@@patriciawilliamson2008 sometimes I stay up for as long as I can because I don't want to have it
finneas (o’connel) is her brother & her producer. he writes with/for her too. finneas is so incredibly talented, it’s ridiculous. they write, record & produce everything in their parent’s house
React to Xanny by Billie Eilish
She does the backbend thing during this song at her live shows. While standing on her feet, it's pretty wicked.
👍 good review, dudes. About your convo about playing on radio, did you know Billie is the first artist EVER to hit num #1 on Billboard without first hitting num #1 on Radio? That never happened in the history of music.
That caused huge soul searching among radio d.j.s about her "not paying dues" and crap like that. But Billie has her own built-in audience on social media larger than any radio network or tv station. That's another way Billie is not your typical singer. She can do what she likes and that's why now radio comes to her asking what songs to play?
For you next reviews, you should look at her live performances. They are really a treat. Here are two quick samples:

and another one (in a nod to Rob Zombie):

I don't know though if your longevity on these days is tied so much to how much your music is played in radio what comes to music. I have heard her played quite a lot in Finnish radio...well she has to be played quite a lot in Finnish radio since I don't listen radio much but her music seems to be there when I end up listening radio. People are not so tied to radio anymore what comes to finding and listening new artists. Back when I was young radio was pretty much only way to find new music in this country but now we have so many other platforms. What is really good thing. And things does change in radio too. She is currently in A-list in our national radio with songs that they want to make sure to be played enough in radio with her song Everything I wanted. But since this is pretty dark country maybe we don't have similar problems to play her in radio that States have.
And the other thing is that her audience is quite versitile what comes to ages. My mom loves her music and have her music playing on background when she is working with patients and loves to tell who she is to her customers and she is getting near 70. So it is not just young people who are listening her
So things are changing in music industry and I think that is good thing. Artists don't have to mold themselves anymore to record labels demands to get their music out and be cut with same cookie cutter. My prediction is we will start to see more artists like her, who are in their own individual path without minding what the "industry" demands are and they will have long successful careers...and the radio will follow them instead of leading.
@@Virpukka Which station? Radio city or ... I forget the name of the other. Probably the other one since that was more "alternative" for lack of a better word. Or is Radio city still busy playing The Scorpions every half hour? Also, thanks a bunch for the comment, I completely agree, and thank you for watching! Kiitos
@@sportosp-0158 National...So I mean Yle X with that.
The song is about the monster under the bed, but it's the monster singing.
The monster under her bed, to be specific.
Lets face it, we've all had similar scares growing up, and when you have depression, those monsters kinda never go away. And she's still very young, she just turned 18 this year.
