I’m so happy that people who don’t know about Oli are commenting things like ‘he seems nice’ and ‘Wow, this is a *real* artist’, because he is both of those things and he is very sound.
I second that to the highest degree
Right.
Bruh people who say that already follow the band. You can't hide the fan girls.
I second this
thank you
Finally the lyrics that actually need the explanaitons.
As opposed to what else?
Jess Freeman if you actually believe that no hip hop music has more complexity to it than than this song, you’re musically illiterate.
Jess Freeman again, if you think MOST hip hop today is just about money and girls, you’re musically illiterate and know very little about the genre you’re criticising.
Jess Freeman imagine thinking you can declare that something is facts and you’ve won
Jess Freeman dance with the devil - immortal technique

Oli: It comes in waves
My emo ass: ...
Oli:
Me: I CLOSE MY EYES, HOLD MY BREATH AND LET IT BURY ME
Sameeeeee
same
poppunksam 👏
poppunksam IM NOT OKAY AND ITS NOT ALRIGHT
Meeee
i was so sad when he and hannah broke up, just because i saw how heartbroken he was. but he’s so in love now and it’s so beautiful to see, so happy for him
this is the only comment that matters im crying
He truly deserves the world
Oliver is such an amazing man, his songs made me push through hell and he deserves the world. Can't wait to see him live and scream with him 'till I lose my voice
“It’s a vibe innit”
Innit though?
*_i n n i t_*
The most British thing ever.
Me😂
@@Xan1120 bri ish
He’s healed and grown healthy in miles and leaps and bounds since I’ve been watching him over the years. A long way from Suicide Season.
since suicide season, every fucking album was awesome
(count your blessings was just good)
Ikr so proud of him.
It's never really been a full moment with any of the albums, every single one just slaps hard, even parts of Music To are good
@@adeptus_artorious_armado I just saw them live on July 7th and he is even more perfect in person. Oliver's voice is🤌sadly he did not perform this song.
@@junie1017 still would have been legendary to see
“ Bein soppeh or musheh” he’s amazing
Lol
He’s so underrated honestly. He writes great music and is a great person who has come such a long way.
that's exactly how I feel about Oli, he deserves so much more ✨
And u want all the world to listen to this, barnacles.
@@anibal2293 Can you just let people enjoy what they want without attacking people.
@@bajamadblastius7381 True. He can just say that without attackinf people
This is the dude who all the modern rappers get their style from.
Don’t get it twisted.
Finally a real artist that has a brain on this channel
nope, there are few others thou like Lucas Graham and Jeremy Zucker
@@thelibrarian7193 you're an idiot
@@thelibrarian7193 Nah i wanna fight you in time square in pajamas
Your dumb bruh
Nah, joji was here, respects to him
Finally oli Sykes this is way better than backpack kid
OIL
@@O-san4 *American army approaches*
*Hide the oil!!!*
O lol I changed that last night my dumbass can’t spell 😂
O but damn I didn’t even notice it till last night so I changed it😂
the part where they both started crying is goals
its like they both just got each other
it sounds really emotional
Ya know I've been listening to bring me the horizon since I was 8 and I always wondered when they would be recognized more. 11 years later here they are. I'm very happy for them.
Same, I was 8 years old as well when I got into them! But it's been 14 years for me. 😅😭 My all time favorite band, my number 1 band.
You listened to deathcore when you were 8?
@@runefaustblack Fuck yeah we were 🤘🏼
@@Lawler911 that's next level shit. I didn't like deathcore till I was eleven (only because I couldn't understand, not that I was scared) but I've been listening to metalcore since I was 8
@@d3th_2_all i didn't listen to/know what deathcore was, or really anything that I listen to now until I was 12-14, because any genres other than gospel, rap, hip-hop and r&b are seen as white-people music amongst my peers u.u
I've loved this man since i was in middle school😍😍😍😍
Same I hope I can see them soon
@@josefinabarcenas5525 He is so nice in person
Same
I still am in middle school. 😂😂.
So I can't really say same... But same
i know you know meh
you don´t have to show meh
(its a joke, chill. I love them. and olis accent is amazing lol ))
Ik, its amazing
British dude
Just a Sheffield accent (South Yorkshire) I'm from Sheffield lol
BenXL same lmao
Haha
He's genuinely happy and inlove and it shows tbh.
No one:
Oli in every interview: like you know
finally a *GOOD* artist with *REAL* music
define real music👀
Same with Gabbie Hanna
@@szymonurbanski1613 idk if you actually watched the entire video but i prefer bmth a billion times than a kid "singing" i be flossin ????
oli has such great lyrics that HAVE AN ACTUAL MEANING ,,, i don't think "i be flossin" has a real meaning
@@ornellafracalossi479 I really don't think there's "fake" music. Some music is just more easily digestibile, while others you can listen to months or maybe even years from now on, and still enjoy it as it came out yesterday.
@@SilkShirt i didn't say there was fake music. i just appreciate much more this kind of music with such meaningful lyrics and i know artists put their souls on their songs.
but if you enjoy a song that was made in 5 minutes i won't judge you, it is just my opinion
The way he says “soppy” and “mushy” is the cutest thing 🖤
this was the best genius interview ever. he is literally such a sweetheart oh my god
First artist that actually explains the lyrics
Shout out too all the fanfics i wrote about him 2010-2015
Bit weird that one ngl
I know you know MEH
You don’t ave ta show MEH
typical yorkshire accent lmfao
Thank you for this song. The first time my fiance and I listened to it we looked at each other and immediately teared up. Mother tongue is going to be our first dance as a married couple and I know we will both be crying.
So, how was it?
I'm somehow grateful that he didn't sing the lyrics, I find it cringe when they do it on the genius videos lmao
I remember listening to this man back when he rocked pink high shorts on stage and tickets were $5 a person.. It's crazy how much BMTH has evolved. Zero complaints I've been a fan for 11 years
Thats the spirit 😏
Lmaoo i remember these dudes had me telling people "there is a hell, believe me ive seen it".
Idk what happened to BMTH, but i guess its cool.
Lord Explosion Murder! He had a BAD ketamine addiction during that time, but god the music was amazing 😔
No more drugs, and they fell in love and grew up!
The oli sykes i know should say what a pussys
They just grew up, think its about time we should too, lol. They're still great anyway.
@@TT-sp5st they obviously grew up, not for the change of genre but more for the quality of everything from the sound to the lyrics
I feel like a lot of people aren’t gonna know who this is unless they actually listen to the band. I don’t know that many people in my personal life who know of them so that’s why I say that.^
He is my god, lol
@@khysor1832 same!
Favorite band
Y’all finally started doing good people again🥵
I wish it was medicine instead or heavy metal. they have tons of great lyrics on this amo album
I assume they did it because of the Valentine's Day.
Well... It's the song that contains the album name in it's chorus, so I guess it's the title song of the album?
Bmth always has deep meaningful lyrics
Medicine and heavy metal are self explanatory in the lyrics
do you think "why you gotta kick me when I'm down, was a song about ex-fans or somebody else? it's probably been explained somewhere but i don't feel like looking😅
this is the first video from genius that actually got me REALLY hooked with the explanation. the lyrics got a whole backstory and some deep feelings in it. simply beautiful.
Oli: 2:56
Me: I CLOSE MY EYES, HOLD MY BREATH AND LET IT BURY ME
WON'T YOU DRAG THE LAKE AND BRING ME HOME AGAIN
WHO WILL FIX ME NOW DIVE IN WHEN I'M DOWN SAVE ME FROM MYSELF DON'T LET ME DROWN
its weird cause he looks like he could be an emo rapper lol
Prince Rumi or emo rappers look like him?
Actually emo rappers are inspired by him
well its deathcore
Dont give him any ideas, lol
there would have never been a Lil Peep without Oliver Sykes
WHATT BMTH??? Nice
Ikr
Is there any non cringe non depressing non edgy bmth fan, i think not, the deception feels in my heart 🤦🤦
Finally bmth made it to genius 😭😂😂💯❤️❤️🖤
@Tia Nah Clairo, boy pablo, Cuco, and Toro Y Moi🤷🏻♂️👌🏻. Good music there too.
Finally?
Bmth never need recognition from genius.
This is the cutest thing I've ever seen
Mumble rapper fans be like : wtf is this new rapper?
You'll know him when you open their stuff back in 2006's.
Yeah, I would love to see all of the pop stans listen to all the deathcore/metalcore shit they used to do back in the mid to late 2000s and early 2010s.
Ahh the scene kid days
IM FUXKING CRYING BRING ME THE HORIZON IS MY NUMBER ONE FAVORITE BAND OF ALL TIME I RECENTLY SAW THEM AND IT WAS THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE 😭😭😭😭😭
Chill out
Lmaooo they were all right back in the day. Girl you trippin.
Lord Explosion Murder! no hate but they can have their opinions that you very much!!
@@TheTP-cf2vo what?
Same, i saw them yesterday in LA, im still weak af. Front row, ahhhhhhh.
He has changed so much and I am very proud of him. He seems happier. Even though I loved BMTH's earlier music I don't find their current genre bad. It's good to see Oli thrive.
This song never fails to make me BAWL MY EYES OUT
Yup if you like imagine it
Am I weird if I would never get tired of hearing him talk?
Why does he look so attractive sitting like that-
I’m so happy to see fans supporting the band after all these years and transformations! I’ve been listening to BMTH since 2011! They’ve been through so much shit and I’m so interested to learn about and know the struggles they’ve faced in each album.
Huge step up from "backpack kid"
YAAS BMTH
honestly, I love you guys so much, you really don't have to push yourself that hard. We(old fans & new fans alike) would rather see you healthy and singing new songs than being damaged and singing old songs. Please take care of yourself.
Or he can learn how to sing properly and perform both old and new music.
Please get Alex Turner on here it would be so funny and iconic
Isabella Reynolds 👋👋👋
*Make this top comment*
34 literally 😂😂
I often feel that Alex Turner steals my words and is famous off them 😂
alex turner explanation: ANY SONG OF TRANQUILITY BASE HOTEL & CASINO should be fun
Seeing him so deeply happy and in love gives me much hope 💕
I'm so happy this happened. I really feel blessed, this man right there has got some CRAZY talent. Even tho there should be a genius video where they interview the rest of the band and let them explain the instrumental part thooo ahahahaha
The only Good artist In this Show
Thats an opinion
electriczombie17 that's a fucking fact
wrong
Nah Clairo, boy pablo, Cuco, and Toro Y Moi🤷🏻♂️👌🏻. Good music there too.
Half Alive is pretty good too
My heart is sw0llen this is so precious I'm so happy for him
Oli’s lyrics have always bee-well are mostly very good (as in not really the first EPs and album) but hey they have never been terrible, what I’m trying to say is: if you want too see the songs about that struggle, those ‘left turns’, then listen to something like ‘it never ends’ and/or ‘hospital for souls’ and/or ‘blessed with a curse’. :)
Hospital for souls is the most heartbreaking song ever and yet one the most beautiful ones
he's so genuine, i love everything about this. i love everything about him and i hope him and alissa r gonna b happy and in love for a rly long time.
he’s such a down to earth person, wow
I've been a fan of bmth since I was little and Oliver always gave me happy puppy feels, idk how to explain it better. He just seems like that sweet guy who you'd love to chat and hang around with, I hope to have a chance to say hi to him soon, he's my favourite artist
Me too Bmth in general
Saw him live... Was totally worth the 6 hours standing outside. The experience was insane
HOW DARE YOU GENIUS. HOW FRICKIN DARE. THIS SHOULD BE THE ONLY VIDEO ON YOUR CHANNEL
OMG OLIIII I LOVE HIM SO MUCH 😭😭😭 bmth is such a good band, all of them are amazingggg
Ikr, kms
I ll never get over this accent, it s cute and weird.
My dude looks so healthy im so happy
Man it feels so weird to see this band I've been listening to since I was 13 finally become mainstream after 15 years of existing. Now people who don't really listen to metalcore and even rock will know about the band. Pretty wild. Even though they sound different I'm glad they're still around.
This is so good genius really upping their game
Never thought I’d see bmth on genius but I’m happy
he's so shy and adorable , my baby
4:48 I still don’t know what “being wet” means, thanks for the explanation
It just means to be overly sappy. Also I didn't know that only Brits say this🤔
@@Blue-cr5ym I still don’t understand
I'm going to try and explain this the easiest way I can.
It's basically like being clingy and really wholesome. Being really affectionate and loving towards someone. So being "soppy" or "wet" is like being loving and affectionate I guess? It's hard to explain
Omg that was BEAUTIFUL 😭 absolutely one of my favorite songs. Thank you, Ollie and Alissa and BMTH. AND THANK YOU GENUIS FOR THIS ❤️
Watching him explain mother tongue is honestly somewhat relatable,they’ve been making music which is relatable so there’s a reason y I still really mF love them😔😔😔😔😔😢😢😢😢😢
If only “Genius” was around when sleepwalking came out
Just saw bmth last night at the forum and it was absolutely one of the best nights of my life. They are an incredible band and Oli has so much stage presence and was dancing and even crowd surfed on top of us. Can't wait to see them again!
Omg, me too. I was there last night. They even threw him a passport, lol. The band is amazing. Cant wait to see them again.
My SweetieB you're lucky, their tour got cancelled today. Poor Oli's vocal cords ruptured 💔
this was the love song dedicated to someone more beautiful than I have ever seen 💜💜
so glad you guys brought oli on! he’s a great lyricist
Y'all finally got my father on Genius
I’ve been listening to Bring Me the Horizon for 7 years and I love each new thing they’ve done
I was never a fan of this kind of music (mostly bc I only heard mainstream pop) but in the last months I started getting really into it and bmth is one of my favorites
This is why I decided to get a Fala amo tattoo; saying you love someone & showing it your way are entirely different, & he said it perfectly.
I love how everyone is saying finally a real artist. I love BMTH, but they have such powerful and meaningful songs that talk about religion, depression, addiction, etc. and they have such good lyrics, but the song that Genius chooses to ask about is the pop song about love. How about you ask Oliver - or the whole band- to talk about songs from Sempiternal or -if that's not mainstream enough for you- That's the spirit?
I like the cute and heartwarming story behind the song, and I am happy for Oliver. However, I can't connect as much to this music, so it bothers me that the media are making a big deal out of it. Their old songs were fucking amazing, and no one gave them the recognition they are getting now that they sound more poppy.
Got an add for a cover of nihilist blues on this video lol. Pretty cool. Nihilist blues was my fav off the new album.
eu amo tanto esse homem que eu nao consigo explicar, de verdade
"...I'm trying my best to describe how it feels when you first fall in love and how mentaly is two people from different sides of the planet can feel so connected..."
never thought i could feel like this
and this is why i love mother tongue, beacuse i never thought i could find my love so far away from home
Oliver looks alright now. The last time I heard or listened to BMTW oli barley had a voice left. He’s doing so well now :)
"It comes in waves I close my eyes."
dauðleiðist _ hold my breath n let it bury me
I literally thought abt that 😂
Yeah when he said the first part it popped in my head.
*PURE QUALITY*
2:55 It comes in waves, i close my eyes, hold my breath and let it bury me
The concert was honestly amazing!! 030
I saw them yesterday in LA. Best experience in my life.
@@khysor1832 Same here!! they never fail to amaze me
Oliver and Alissa = Soulmates.♡
wow never thought this would happen
I got to see him in November and i managed to get front row at their concert and honestly it was one of my best experiences ever. No matter how many people bash on that album it's an artwork and oli is amazing.
I need more of this!!! I loved it
I love the way he say "being soppeh, being musheh" 4:50
juple lareco sappy and mushy?
I haven't checked on Oli in a long time and I'm so glad he's found love
good song, GREAT man, and really good album. I'll always love their older albums, but amo has been on repeat since release, and I just don't get tired of it.
Hell fucking yeah I love BMTH and I love this song
Some of you don't even know the old bmth and it really shows.
I've been a fan of BMTH since their death core days so this is really cool to see. Glad they're finally getting noticed!
BMTH and Oli have matured so much. This album is hands down the best thing they’ve ever written.
Favorite band sences 2004 they've come a long way 😭😭😭
i literally watched this about a thousand times.. and i never get tired of it
i love Oli and bmth 🖤
Mother tongue is one of my favorite songs from amo
Thanks for the music
Love you Oli ! Such a sweet voice even when he speaks! That accent! Loved the way they've taken a risk and made a sweet album from their heart!
