Isn't that the purpose of art, especially music? To express our unexpressed (or repressed) feelings. Good or bad, those are only feelings, our feelings. We own them, we get to feel them, heal from them. Good for you. Great reaction.
I honor your willingness to be honest to strangers in such a vulnerable way. You are a role model and I feel blessed to have stumbled upon your reaction. Love and light to you.
Thank you , I truly appreciate that . Luckily , I’ve been able to be strong and speak my story for some time. It still feels weird to tell people ( new people ), but in many ways , it’s who I am . It happened for so long and I have many metal scars that I carry . It’s better that I be open about it , own it and hopefully encourage others to be brave . As you can see in this video , It’s still very hard to say but I felt so much better for doing so. I truly appreciate you commenting and watching 💕💕
When she was 16 she was dating an "up and coming" rapper that was 22. That's why there is 22 silent seconds after the video. But she doesn't want the song to be all about her as it happens all the time and everywhere in the world.
I read this after listening to the song actually , it’s crazy how much of an effect being with an older person can do to you when you are underage ... you don’t even know it at the time . But when you realise it was wrong , it really messes you up ! I’m so glad she sang about it and left if open for everyone while also expressing her own hurt 🥺💕 that’s really cool about the 22 seconds at the end ! I didn’t know that .
I am so sorry that happened to you. But I am really proud of you for being so brave. It is important to tell your story to remove the stigmas. It's a common problem, so it needs to be a common topic. And don't worry about your reaction, I have stuff too and react with the same kind of detachment when confronted with it. There are no wrong emotions. Lots of love, Fern.
I’m so grateful for your comment , it’s really made me feel at ease and also solid in my decision to speak a bit about it on the video ! Also , thank you for validating my emotions and it’s always nice to relate on things even when they’re not the most positive . Lots of love to you 🙌
If you like older music and Lana Del Ray Billie Eilish is going to be right up your alley. Her lyrics are deep and very well written, her voice pierces through you, and she has a grasp on truth and way to communicate that understanding that’s basically unparalleled at the moment. The select few songs that one could consider “young people music” and are more beat-focused are not actually the majority of her musical spectrum. She’s ridiculously good, so many of us old music snobs have gotten obsessed with her. You’ll see.
Ive listened to quite a few of her songs and have loved them ! But never sat and listened to an album properly if that makes sense ! I love Everything I Wanted , I love All The Good Girls Go To Hell (I did a cover of it on my UA-cam channel if you want t check it out , did a very fun version !) , I love this one , Your Power. I saw the video and heard the song to I Wanna End Me ( not sure if that is the name) I loved that too !!! But I need to really sit and listen to all of them ! Thank you for your wonderful list :D I know so many people of all ages love her !! I think I just got it trapped in my head that I'm not that interested because she is too cool for me hahahahaha
@@FernStone I think you’re thinking of Bury a Friend, the most repeated line is “I wanna end me”. Her album “when we all fall asleep where do we go” has a progression from start to finish, so even if you’ve heard songs before, don’t skip them (as I’ve seen some reactors do). Even if you don’t react to it but listen to the album in your own time, just try to do it from start to finish. So good. In my head she currently has “four collections” of songs, namely 1. Her LP 2. Her album 3. Her live songs and covers 4. Her additional singles. So while people say “oh I’m looking forward to her second album” I’m over here saying “I’m looking forward to her fifth album” and yea I know that’s not how that works but I think in terms of how much (really amazing) music she’s already done... this will be her fifth album, you know?
@@nomadine85 No no I would never skip them ! I do album reactions and really get into the musical stuff ( BA Honours degree in music ) so I would definitely listen to each song in great depth ! Because I love to do that :D !! aaaah I see ! I can't wait to fully listen and get into the lyrics :)
Thanks for being so open. Your words have strength in them. It's funny the reason I found Aurora is because of an interview with Billie saying she knew she wanted to perform her music after hearing Aurora Runaway, I think. What is it with that generation? Just talent.
Love this! Billie's EP, "don't smile at me", is so good! It came before the big album with, "Bad Guy." Guess who is a huge influence on Billie and one of her biggest inspirations.... yep, Lana! And just want to say I'm thinking of you, thank you for sharing your feelings and experience. Some things will always stay with us, in the background, but we heal and are able to feel joy and that's a blessing. ♥️ Info on the song~ Billie "dated" (I don't want to use the actual words) a 22 yr old when she was 16 years old. This was when she was going on tour for her EP and all the way into her Coachella appearance. He treated her like trash and this song is all about him. I believe there are 22 seconds of silence at the end to signify his age. When she talks about taking away "your contract", is referring to the fact he's a performer as well. This relationship was sort of kept out of the limelight, but fans that followed her Instagram lives and things like that knew. He's known as Q or 7 sometimes.
Thanks for sharing part of your story. I'm glad I found your reaction. I think you would enjoy more of Billie's music; many songs are beautiful and impactful. I would admit many of the lyrics are more relatable to females.
This type of reaction is what sets Billie Eilish's music apart. The song topics may differ but the combination of lyrics and emotional tone speak to people.
I’m really sorry to hear what happened to you, you’re really brave that you can talk about your feelings like that, I can’t even imagine what you’ve been through all those years. 😞 The world could be a horrible place for so many people. That’s why I love this song, as this will surely help a lot of people to stand up and be brave, as they are not alone with their problem. Anyway, your video is so sincere, I love that you are showing your true self, you’re not trying to be someone else, you’re really authentic, you’re special and you are so gifted, I think I will do a video marathon on you tomorrow 😊 I really like your style.
If you listen to the whole album "When we all fall asleep were do we go?" You might fall in love with Billie Eilish A reaction to the whole album would be amazing!
Billie Eilish adores Aurora, and has expressed being a fan of her music, and I think visa versa. I love both of your reactions to these talented artists!!! Might I suggest you look into Pentatonix, a very popular acapello group with 10 million albums sold, including covers of Hallelujah, Bohemian Rhapsody, Imagine, and my favorite, Sound of Silence!!!
I typed all these comments out from memory on my phone. 😅 On other days I forget what the word for that thing is that separates two rooms. Or my name. But a list of songs?! I know those. Last but not least I wanted to say that I do the exact same thing. I seem very uncaring and cold about my childhood ab*** experiences, as if they happened to someone else. People are surprised how calmly I can talk about it, but I dissociated, I might as well be retelling facts from a movie. So I get it, and I recognise it. Perfectly valid form of coping. 💪🏽
Based on your comments I think you would enjoy the following of Billie’s songs: - My Future (a recent single that will be part of the coming album) - Everything I Wanted (a recent single about her friendship with her brother and... other stuff) - When the Party’s Over (from her first album. I dare you not to tear up watching it) - Lovely (with Khalid, a single from her LP times. Tbh this one only hits people hard who’ve experienced depression themselves, I noticed) - Xanny (it’s not about what you’d think, definitely pay attention to the lyrics) - all the good girls go to hell (live at the Howard Stern show) - idontwannabeyouanymore (from her LP) - When I was Older (this one doesn’t have a music video, it’s a single for a movie but omg) - Come out and play (also doesn’t have a music video, but you might enjoy the live version at the Steve jobs theatre) - I love you (no video, but the live version at the Greek theatre makes me emotional) - End of the World (live with bbc radio one, it’s a cover and it’s basically in my top three favourite live performances of all times, along with Santana’s Black Magic Woman at Woodstock, Lauryn Hill’s mtv unplugged...) Also, when it comes to lyrics, she’s Bob Dylan, so I definitely suggest switching on the subtitles in her videos as a rule. Her music requires to shut up and genuinely listen to appreciate all the subtleties and lyrical storytelling and literary word play, in addition to the insanely genius quality and layers of sound, ambiance, and thematic and stylistic diversity within a clear and recognisable signature consistency of THAT Billie voice that just punches your auditory brain while hugging your soul.
A couple more songs that are either more obscure or more mainstream and that I would recommend once you’ve listened to the ones above but that I still think you’d enjoy are - ilomilo (only a tour visualiser video, no actual video. The live version of this song at the Steve jobs theatre is also chefs kiss. That entire concert, tbh) - no time to die - listen before I go (this is arguably her most trigger warning requiring song. Proceed with caution. there’s no video but you guessed it, a live version at the Steve jobs theatre. But I would listen to the studio version first.) - you don’t get me high any more (cover of pentogram... I think that’s what they’re called? I keep forgetting. But it’s at bbc radio 1. Also, keep in mind the lyrics from Xanny, and her age when she sings this. It’s clearly one of her favourite songs because of the musical, technical and lyrical aspects rather than the content itself) There’s more, obviously. And I think once you’ve listened to these songs you’ll probably appreciate her other songs more as well, both lyrically as well as from a musical production genius level that is unique to her and Finneas.
Well, in case you didn't know, yet: Aurora was the inspiration for Billie to start her music career. Source: ua-cam.com/video/y9tyECALPps/v-deo.html I like that connection.
Yes - you're right about that. But Aurora is not the only singer that has inspired Billie Eilish. A number of singers and musicians have become the inspiration for Billie like: Amy Winehouse - Tyle The Creator - The Beatles - Lana Del Rey - Nicki Minaj - Frank Sinatra - Marina And The Diamonds etc. If you have time - you can notice she mentioned one or two of those popular singers in all her interviews.
the 22 seconds of silence was because her ex who she’s talking about was 22 at the time (24 now) He groomed her and mentally abused her at only 16 which is basically what the song is about.
So much I want to say, so few words I have right now. So I will leave it at this, great reaction, thank you for your honesty and having the bravery to share your story. I wish you all the best in the world. Final words from me that say all I can right now - #metoo
Nobody really knows what the song is about or what it means to her. We will never know she made the song as something that people can relate to and she asked her fans to stop jumping to conclusions and saying it’s about her ex .

First time I heard the Billie song "I love you" I cried my eyes out
I love your power !

Also may i ask you to react to melanie martinez ? :)
Omg, I'm sorry for what happened to you. You're such a brave person for sharing, hope you're doing well in the process of recuperation
Thank you so much, I’ve had a lot of therapy and am getting more soon too ! I’m very lucky to have such wonderful friends and family too xxx
I will add her to my request list ❤️

Thank you so much 💕 very true and very sad .

You can turn captions on if you want to see the lyrics as she’s singing. It’s the CC button on the bottom right of the video.

Thats hilarious .... 😂😂😂 That would honestly be a laugh tbh !
@@FernStone I just wanna know what he means when he says "Sliced his cockles" lol Never could figure that one out
Did you notice the gasps at the last second of the video? she died
Nobody really knows what the song is about or what it means to her. We will never know she made the song as something that people can relate to and she asked her fans to stop jumping to conclusions and saying it’s about her ex .
Can you react to jukebox by nick nittoli
