For anyone who wants to know how these songs are all linked: (ROTARY DIAL) The first song is im pretty sure Henry's mom, who started being verbally abusive towards him then regretting it later, wanting to call him. He doesn't respond because he wanted to cut her off from his life. (BLACK AND WHITE) Later, Henry marries his childhood friend Nancy who later in their relationship starts to become incredibly obsessive, he doesn't like this explaining "you're not the girl I used to know". He also doesn't like it because it really reminds him of his mom who later became obsessive. Because of all this, Henry tries to leave and write his last letter before he does, but oops!!! Nancy caught him in the act. He tries to say sorry and explain but its too late and she kills him for even thinking of leaving her because she has attachment issues and obsessive behavior. (HOUSEWIFE RADIO) Nancy then tries to forget everything, tries to sew to keep things off her mind, tries to distract the hell out of herself after she murders Henry. The radio, though, had other plans. Here's where things in this song get complicated so let me explain: I'm pretty sure Nancy has synesthesia. Her song has tons of bright flashing colors. This also suggests one reason why she loved Henry so much, because she saw colors whenever she heard his voice while everything else remained black and white. Back to the radio part, while she was trying to sew to distract herself she ended up hearing COLORS IN THE RADIO BECAUSE SHE SWORE SHE COULD HEAR HENRYS VOICE. This, drove her absolutely insane. It crushed her. She ended up not being able to take it anymore because this radio played sounds that sounded like his voice every day at 7am, when she was awake. She ended up well uh... let's say she had to hang it there. (Oh my god) (The last 2 songs idk) dont know too much about this part actually. I kind of believe it has something to do with Nancy but ended up being kind of different and not that related to the communications series So yeah, this took time to write and I feel like this was the best I could do so anyone who sees this please, I want other people to see it
- (BROADCAST ILLUSIONS/COLORBARS) Kenneth Simmons, the boy both of the PVS, Was dealing with major bullying and manipulation. He met this girl named Stephanie who friended him for a while until Stephanie took notice of kennith's suicidal thoughts and Misanthropy to the world. She dusts it off as some lame Excuse to be an attention seeker. Kenneth took this to heart. Eventually, he meets a new friend (in which I've forgot the name) They tell Kenneth about an epic prank of hacking the tv station and broadcasting himself. Easily persuaded, Kenneth agreed. Stephanie was watching TV until kenneth's broadcast shows up. He at first mocks everyone, until he remembers Stephanie. That's why in both the songs, we hear some lines that reference to betreyal and hatred. Eventually he tries to convince everyone watching to end themselves. After kenneth's ranting was concluded, shortly after.. He ended himself instead. (Btw COLORBARS isn't a confirmed padt of the comminucations case since ghost didn't like the song, hence, broadcast illusion was created to recreate Colorbar's story, but a bit different of style. Hope this helps!)
Honestly, I love the little Easter egg in Housewife Radio. As you said, she could swear she heard Henry’s voice in the radio. If you play from 9:12 , you can hear Henry’s voice in the background. It’s easier to hear through headphones, but I think that’s such a cool detail.
Now I might just be looking too deep into the lore but I like how housewife starts with similar lyrics that we hear in phone. Stitch sew cut are in both songs. Almost as to tell us that the wife is not all that different to the mother. And has similar views and ideas. And the laughter.,
My phone crashed and emitted a buzzing noise similar in frequency to an electric razor and a really angry flying bug, i thought it was part of the song until the screen went black
2:22 Rotary dial has the 'Stitch, Sew, Cut, Pull' Part from Housewife radio, but instead of Pull, it's ties. I thought that was cool. And then in Black & White some of the instrumental is basically the instrumental of Housewife Radio but it's altered. So both are connected to Housewife Radio. I never knew communications existed I thought it was just one song-
Man I wish this series could either get remastered or reanimated or revived by someone else. I wouldn't mind if this story continued but I can understand why it won't return. I get that a lot but I mean still this has got so much potential to be brought back. Edit: HOLY CRAP HIGHLIGHTED COMMENT?! THANK YOU SM YALL!!! Edit 2: I think we deserve a reanimated series of Ghost and Pals communications. Like someone should get a bunch of animators together to make it something special just like the original. Also ColorBars and Housewife Radio are my favorites :)
brief summary of the songs rotary dial-how to break a heck lotta telephones black & white- IAMALIZARD housewife radio-'hey guys! welcome back to my tailoring tutorial! today ill be teaching ya'll to make clothes without the need of a pincushion!' colorbars-'youre a fuckin idiot and statics pouring out of your mouth' broadcast illusion-'its a beautiful gay'
no joke i think its really cool that ghost made that one part of housewife radio say black & white most likely also referring to henrys note or the fact that his song is titled black and white
I think the actual reason was due to Nancy's synesthesia, and his colors in her vision are Black and White, so when she hears his voice via radio, it shows up in her vision in Black and White.
At the time im writing this, Im already listening to Black & White and Ive been listening to this while I've also been playing one hour of silence occasionally broken up by Scooby Doo's laugh, Bababoy, Fart reverb, and monkey noises. Idk how but the sound effects are all fitting in some area of these songs *But I love it*
I love how these songs are connected not only in communication models but lyrics like rotary dial "stich sew cut pull" and the rhythmic"ha ha" that is in housewife radio and I LOVE THAT SO MUCH same thing with colorbars and broadcast illusion with "again" and the opening beat for BLACK&WHITE I the same for housewife makes so much sense 😂 and I love how the creator ties all of them together is genius
I really want to know the back story for all these songs, I think I get at least the back stories for the two called Black and white and House wife radio. But I would love to know how exactly they all fit together.
Francis (rotory dial woman) is Henry's (Black and White man) mother, But She was Abusive and left her, But She Kept Insisting on keeping tabs on Henry until Of Course, She kills him pretty much, Nancy (Wife of Henry and the Woman Of housewife Radio) can't live with this fact and Does what's shown in the song Colorbars and Broadcast illusion are a completely different Story, I'd need a new reply to tell you all of it
So both songs are about the same guy, Kennith, who was a Gay guy And was bullied for it except for a Few Friends, Who He Had An Argument With, And after That He Is Basically manipulated Into highjacking National TV, But One Friend Tried to rescue Him, Only To find Kennith already killed By The Friend Who Manipulated him
Actually, colorbars isnt in Communications, it was a vent song, but then Ghost decided for it to be in communications and made it into Brodcast illusion
I'm pretty sure that because he's a broadcaster, he ends up speaking in the radio. BLACK&WHITE and Housewife Radio both talk about "the colors of his voice in the radio". The person I think they're talking about is Kenneth.
First 3 songs are connected in 1 story, here's the lore if you can be bothered to read it: It's a part of a cancelled Series called "Communications", the first song features Henry's mother Francis (Henry being the guy in the second song), she was also drinking with friends and she was pregnant with Henry at a fairly young age and her partner left because of it. She would take her anger out on Henry when he was young and abuse him. Growing up Henry met Nancy (The girl in the third song), they decided to move away and get married (By this time Francis wasn't abusing Henry anymore but would also manipulate him and guilt trip into staying because now she really is alone).... Flash forwards and Francis keeps calling Henry to come back, she absolutely hates how they got married and ran away (evident by the lyrics "Joining hands in a beautiful marriage, its driving me mad") so she kept putting ideas in Nancy's head that Henry would leave her. Nancy then became clingy to Henry which reminded him of his manipulative mother, Henry didn't really get to meet with other women besides Nancy so he takes it more as Nancy becoming just as manipulative "You're not the girl I used to know, its killing me". Nancy realises Henry is actually going to leave her now so she kills him before he could step out the front door, she then lives the rest of her days feeling guilty and only hearing black and white in the radio (Forgot to mention Nancy has Sound-colour synthesia so she can see colors associated with sound, instead of seeing colors that represent Henry, she sees just black and white). She then hangs herself in the basement where she took Henry's dead body, this is evident at the end of the Housewife radio song where she has a noose around her neck.... Last 2 songs are an entirely different story, and I have already yapped so much....
@@sergantpig9932 This is a crazy theory, but I think the girl of the ,last songs is Francis cuz in the last one says "You had seen me before" and "I've always been here"
@@isabellavasquezpaz6034 The last 2 songs feature the same character and the same story, just it was remade because Ghost didn't like Colorbars as much (They look different, but they are the same person). The character in the last 2 songs is a boy named Kennith, they were bullied during high school for being gay, so i think the "I've always been here" was supposed to mean like "You cast me away like I was nothing, now here I am on the TV". (PS. Pretty sure Francis did pass away during this period because this story took place 20 years after Henry and Nancy's incident
@@Gear-works-studios-official ok basically the communications series is in 2 parts. in the first part, Frances (the first girl in the rotary dial song) had a kid (Dex in the black and white song) who she neglected. He got married and then the neighbor killed him after overhearing frances' gossip (she was trying to split dex and his wife nancy (who appears in the housewife radio song). The neighbor framed nancy but the police didnt arrest anyone. just keep in mind that this isnt a true story its fake characters like a book
Now just to find a video explaining the Communications lore to show to the kids i "Acidently" got into ghost and pals (i forgot how to spell and my grammarly isn't working 🥲)
My sister has been looking for this video forever. She was so sad when it disappeared off of UA-cam. Now it’s back!
