This song can be interpreted two ways
What's the use of feeling blue?- As in what's the point in feeling sad? You can't change what happened to her so why let it eat at you thousands of years later. You need to move on
Or
What's the use of feeling, Blue?- Which could be interpreted as Yellow Diamond questioning why Blue Diamond is allowing her emotions to control her. There's no point in her feeling sad or depressed, because Pink diamond was shattered 6000 years ago
so true
It doesn't help Yellow is in denial about her own grief. Blue is drowning in her grief. Yellow is suppressing it. Both are dealing with it in extremely unhealthy ways... specifically by not dealing with it at all.
Yellow wants to know the point of feeling AT ALL if it results in this pain, as well as demanding to know why Blue is wallowing, with the same question.
She eventually breaks down because it makes her confront the fact she too is grieving and becomes briefly overwhelmed.
Dude, spoilers
@@iancacal6852 Could be worse. Pink being shattered is one of the earlier plot points.
@CrystalLightAllison shhhhhh 🤫🤭
It’s extra heartbreaking when you realize she’s not asking her, “what’s the use of feeling blue (sad)?” But rather, “what’s the use of feeling, Blue?” Since she’s talking to Blue diamond, that’s what she calls her. So really, she’s asking why she should bother feeling anything at all, not just sad, but anything. 😭
Its both which is what makes the lyrics in this so brilliant
@@Wandervenn also when you SPOILER
Know that her power has to do with feeling it just makes the song writing even better ik a lot of people complain about the show but there is no way anyone can complain about rebecca's song writing
Yellow diamond is racist?
@@shadowtheeggdog6020 wait how ?? Im con"fusion" now
I made a pun was it good it was a fusion pun 🌞 nvm
Yah
*[There's two ways you can hear this song]*
What's the use of feeling Blue?
What's the use of feeling, Blue?
The latter being very valid from the fact that at the end, Yellow sings it like this: What’s the use of feeling? What’s the use of feeling? What’s use of feeling, Blue?
True
Commas are important
I think, even though you can interpret each instance as either, Yellow is singing more the second one at the beginning and then more the first one at the end because at first, she's singing directly to blue but later, she's more asking herself why she's feeling the way she does.
What's the use of feeling blue?*
What's the use of feeling, Blue?
Those "sprites" are pearls. Kind of like the main character pearl but different colors and they work for the diamonds
Yup and there are rose quartz in the background
@@tophertwo4342 spoiler alert
So many pink diamonds, wow
Also the Pearls are voiced by the same person.
Pearls are slaves to important gems, they can sing, they can dance, they can carry your stuff, and they can do your work. But the main character Pearl is free a pearl and as she say's it "i belong to NOBODY!" Oh and pearls are usually seen as property not people
@@Yesytsucks Pink just disguised herself as a rose quartz. A rose quartz is a gem, which she disguised as (fuck I said that twice)
When she says, a sapphire has a use she can tell you what it’s for, an agate terrifies a lapis terraforms, she’s referring to how a sapphire can see the future and how an agate is kind of a boss for squadrons of troops, and a lapis terraforms planets for their diamonds, the big yellow and blue one
The singer is Patti LuPone - if you don’t know who she is, you should look her up because she is AMAZING! She’s a singer and an actress and she’s even been on Broadway. Absolute superstar
I was going to say this! Yes Patti LuPone is absolutely amazing! She's won how many Tony awards by now? Very distinctive voice, hits those notes like nobody's business!
I had the honor of seeing her on Broadway in the show "Gypsy" and that was when I fell in love with her voice.
My Broadway Queen
@Topher K that is the truth 💯
@Topher K you are so right, I can’t believe I made such a silly error
random fact: the person singing in this song, the voice actor is Patti LuPone
edit: huh, someone already pointed that out, huh.... well alright
and since i'm editing my comment, i'm gonna suggest a Steven Universe song someone hasn't suggested yet:
Strong in the Real Way is a good song from the earlier in the series, but there are definitively more important SU songs out there
"I want to inspire you"
"I want to be your rock"
@@destinyswanigan1854 "and when i talk it lights a fire in you"
“...I can you show you how to be strong in the real way” . _ .
@@Komiao " and i know that we can be strong in the real *WAY*
A good song to listen to is "here we are in the future" from the steven universe movie. I dont think it gets the recognition it should 😁
It quite spoil Steven univers, I'm not sure
Fellow overkill fan I salute you
@@psycow9623 but pearl’s “we became OUR FANTASY” would almost be worth spoiling
He’s reacting to that soon, it’s called “happily ever after” but there’s gonna be a lot of spoilers
@@ImaShyFrog I know theres alot of spoilers but Like Alex said the "We became our fantasy" Just hits different. Worth it I say
I appreciate the fact that Yellow gets so emotional she has to stop singing at the end.
As someone who sees themself in Yellow Diamond, specifically in this song, I'd like to think at the end the humming was a self soothing action, and humming this song specifically a reminder to "stay strong" - not allowing to feel sadness?
@@f.horstmann8447 fun fact, that melody is just the diamonds theme without the harmony, so for her, the way she calms herself down is by reminding herself that all of them are still leaders and she needs to be focused on what she's doing
edit: also fun fact, the diamonds theme harmony is 4 different chords all representing a diamond each, and the melody cuts off right before pink diamond's chord, also emphasizing that yellow has moved on, or at least tries to
I just noticed that the song becomes less dissonant as Yellow becomes more emotionally honest! The harmony becomes stronger in the second half of the song
“True Kinda Love” from Steven Universe the Movie is a pretty good one, it has a sick jazzy instrumental that I think you’d like!
*[You should react to "I could never be", it's a really great song]*
Omg your back
Added context: The character she's singing to is named Blue. The title is actually "What's the use in feeling, Blue?" She's not just saying that they shouldn't feel sad, she's saying there's no point in feeling anything.
Every character in Steven Universe seems to have their own style in song.
They're actually based off of different types of music
I believe that “Something Entirely New” is one of the most beautiful songs in the series so if you could react to that I would really like to hear your thoughts about it.
the people saying "watch the show" should really be asking: "watch the movie"
It's a singular commitment, it has about 9 or 10 bangers in it, it is DESIGNED for people who don't know the full show and summates everything so far, and David fits the bill of "I am interested but no way can i watch 200 episodes."
And no buts about spoilers 99% of reveals have been covered in songs already reviewed, the spoils have happened now bruh
When I first saw the notification I was like "oh he's gonna have fun dissecting the weirdly unique tempo of this song" lol
There's just something strange and different going on in the song music-wise that always stuck to me
Recommendation: I Have a Dream from Hazbin Hotel. You've listened to helluva boss and addict, so you might as well listen to this one too!
This!
Is t it inside of every demon is a rainbow
Totally wasn’t just stalking your UA-cam channel or anything 😺😀
Edit: those “tynkerbell” looking girls are pearls, and the big ones are the diamonds.
Thank you and Thank you and welcome back! :) We appreciate you being here!
I strongly advise you to listen to the song "Found" from Steven Universe Movie, the continuation of the song "Drift Away". Although it is short, it has captured my heart forever!
p.s. love your videos, they always make me smile)
They are both experiencing grief, one is still in the anger stage the other is firmly in depression.
i've always loved the ending to her song because she gets faster and her tone gets weird as if she starts panicking because the feelings she's trying to surpress are coming back and then hums the melody of the pearls that was originally supposed to comfort blue, like she needed to calm down and not panic in order to show blue the stern face she asks of her
An extra piece of context I find interesting is that the characters name itself is Blue Diamond. So you could read the line as, "What's the use of feeling blue." Or "What's the use of feeling, Blue?" since Yellow is a character that represses her emotions.
This song always stood out to me among the many awesome tracks in the series. Wish Yellow sang a few more songs bc you know Patti would kill it, but character-wise it makes sense that Yellow wouldn't sing much, she has her Pearl for that.
Next try "Let us Adore you" the one with spinel
The one with spinel is the reprise
@@sn3rky_971 I know, I just like that one better
Ultra dissonant.Takes so many relistens to get comfortable with. It takes a master like Patti Lupone to change pitch like that three times in one song.
She is amazin!
what do you mean by "change pitch 3 times"?
@@jac1382 Sorry, I meant changes keys.
@Sunday Girl I’m definitely not talking about head voice, but it’s nice to see that mansplaining has no gender.
@@dodiswatchbobobo The key stays in A minor (harmonic?) throughout the whole song. Just because you're in denial doesn't mean they were mansplaining.
Hey hooman please watch " Peace and love on planet earth"
From Steven Universe
Okay since I'm early again I shall recommend that you listen to "I'd rather be me with you" from Steven Universe so that you can see their future relationship.
The character singing is known as "Yellow", and she's singing to "Blue" -- so the name of the song has two meanings.
Asking you again, pleease react to "Happily ever after" from steven universe the movie, is a great song, which talks about the progress of the characters over time and has a very beautiful melody
Lol, saying "up" again.
Lol, I've been asking this for a long time xD
Same
😤
Wait no don’t! Way too many spoilers!
You: Sounds like a showtune
Me, remembering it's Patti LuPone: You are Not Wrong
When you can, could you watch “let us adore you” reprise from this it’s nice
I feel like you and Matt have a lot of, energetic, discussions about what to include before and during videos. Which is creating an interesting style for each video.
I always think Love Like You is an incredibly beautiful song and is totally worth a listen to. I love the lyrics and it’s definitely the song that has stuck with me the most from this show. :)
You: its early
Me in Germany: Huh it is 30 Minutes after midnight xD
Thanks for reacting to it! If you see this I recommend listening to cover Saku-Chan's of it on YT. It's so much better! And also for context their fellow diamond who was like a daughter to them so that's what was going on.
Patti Lupone (who voices Yellow Diamond here) is amazing!! I fell in love with her singing right away and I'm glad you like her singing too!! ❤️ Glad to see you do this song, I feel like I've seen it in the comments quite often recently!
i only ever listened to the Caleb Hyles version so this one was quite a culture shock (i recommend anyone reading this give it a try)
I wish the clip went a few seconds longer to show Blue place her hand on Yellow's back, it's such a tender gesture.
He should listen to "be wherever you are" steven universe it's one of my favorites from the show
I would recommend " Love like you" it has a beautiful harmony and every little part of the song can relate to one of the characters.
I think you should check out "Love like You" next. I'm surprised it hasn't been recommended yet since it's without a doubt one of the best songs in the show and I think you'd like it a lot best on how you ranked other songs.
I loved your observation about the similarities between this song and Other Friends! I'd never thought about that, and it's a really interesting point given the relationship that these characters eventually have in the story.
Haha, super late on this but, It does sound like show tunes, if its Patti LuPone that’s what can be expected I guess. She’s a living legend, she’s been performing on the stage since her early days in Juilliard and even originated a few roles on broadway. She’s my favorite singer hands down, and her vocal range is crazy! As of now, she’s back on broadway belting out “Ladies Who Lunch,” its great.
"What will you leave behind" Spiritfarer
"that note was hit flawlessly" Bruh, its Patti Lupone. She don't fuck around. I'm not a fan of the song but that woman is a legend and deserves some respect.
Could you please react to Let Us Adore You from Steven Universe the Movie? It’s a really cool song and would be fun to see a reaction to. 😄
If you do end up wanting to react to this, the Let Us Adore You Reprise is the longer and better version of the song. Thank you!
I'm always open to new suggestions but now I'm at a point where I have to make sure with every upload there is something for everyone.
Number One: I look back at past upvotes and check which one has the most engagement
Number Two: I ask for requests on the community tab. My goal is to take one super popular song ( most upvoted ), and another one that is random It gets competitive over there but at least its another shot to get your music heard thank you for your comment 😊
Third: We are Workin on a live streaming setup soon. To periodic live shows!
Fourth: I wish I could listen to everyones requests truly!
Of course! I totally understand! Keep up the great work! 😄
I would LOVE to see you do "The Working Dead" from Steven Universe. It's one of my favorites and I think about it while I'm at work all the time
I love this song because it's easy to see it as a conversation between the logical part of the brain and the emotional part, the logical part wil lbe focused on action, realizing that this self destructive behavior and mourning will set you back, all while disregarding emotion to the point of breaking easily when it finally seeps in (As seen with how she ends up seeming to falter towards the end of the song)
While the emotional part (Blue) will foten forgo action and reason, instead staying in the past, but often causing itself to forget to move on as it stays anchored to those happy thoughts, but constantly resulting in falling apart when forced to face reality again.
So happy I got to see you go through my favorite series :D
One of my fav Steven universe songs tbh
This may have been said a BILLION times in the comments but I still wanna say it:
So noticing it’s very showtune-themed is so astute because that’s Broadway legend, Patti Lupone, singing that song. I’m a theater nerd and I’ve been going through Steven Universe for the first time. When I heard that character sing, I was like, “This sounds like someone trying to sound like Patti Lupone...” and then I looked it up and screamed with excitement because that’s exactly who it was. This woman is insanely talented. One excellent number I recommend, if you like her voice, is Ladies Who Lunch from Stephen Sondheim’s “Company”. The melody is really good and showcases her voice well. Another I’d recommend is basically any of her work in the 2001 filmed recording of Sweeney Todd in concert. She’s fantastic as Mrs. Lovett and also played her alongside Michael Cervaris four years later in the 2005 revival of the musical.
Anyways, glad you enjoyed the song! It’s quickly become a favorite of mine in the context of storytelling in the show. I adore Lupone in this role and think the scene overall is a very strong one.
The diamond where given an older sound for their songs because they are ancients, so they where given the sound of old quartets, and spinel is based off of early animation, this can be seen in her movements and her singing reflects this as well
I have been waiting forever for this. Gah I love this song it's so powerful, unsettling, and sad. I love the orchestral sound mixed with the funky synthesized sounds. Space orchestral? It's so mesmerizing
Also Patti Lupone killed it
Take your time with getting to the main series, I'm sure we're always willing to wait for it! Plus, I really enjoy reactions to just the songs, but I'm very excited for you to watch the series and to see you try to break down the show as a whole.
I have a suggestion for "my little reason why" from steven universe
Im so glad you reacted to this song cuz its one of my favorites! I personally really like the diamonds vocals
The significance of the “What’s the use of feeling blue?” Is that blue is not only sadness, but the name of the blue woman she’s talking to. You could interpret it as “what’s the use of feeling sad?” or “what’s the use of feeling anymore?” I think that just adds a special layer to it.
Yes!!! This is your most spot on prediction yet
This is one of my favourite Steven Universe songs. It makes me sad and happy at the same time
The best part about the pearls there is that each park is performed by the same person, DeeDee Magno Hall. She's a Broadway actress like the actress for yellow diamond, Patti lupone.
Hi David so glad you reacted to this I didn't expect this but so glad reacted to this song.
Yeah It was on the list!
Nice oh can react to happily after from steven universe the movie plz.
Please watch Happily ever after song from Steven universe. There's this one part that I am dying to see your reaction for. I think people here know which part it is!
I always love how this song starts "Sing something, sing something to make her feel better!"
yellow diamond: *is patti lupone, conquerer of broadway*
him, unaware: she's just a really amazing singer!
The singer here is Patti LuPone. She is fantastic. If you'd like to see another example of her skill, I would recommend "Remember that We Suffered" from "My Crazy Ex-Girlfriend" Season 2 Episode 10, "Will Scarsdale Like Josh's Shayna Punim?".
"it reminds me of other friends" made me laugh out loud. both spinel and yellow diamond are missing the same person! i would not be surprised if the similarity is intentional, or if it's just that both songs have similar references
Cant wait till u get a chance to finally sit down n watch it, such a lovely show 🥰🥰🥺💯
They both lost someone very important to them, and both are stuck at different places in the grieving process, Blue in depression, Yellow in anger.
an option for Steven Universe is to watch the show on your own, and record a reaction for big episodes like season finales, and make a longer video discussing your thoughts on the show. maybe after every season or just until you finish it. This lets you watch it on your own pace and enjoy it without us breathing down your neck
^ this could be a dae way 😂😂
yes I dusted off that meme for no reason 😂😂😂
@@DavidTheHooman what a throwback
that's Patti Lupone!!! she's an ICON!!! this show is soo amazing!! i watched it and fell in love with it and for bein a "kid's" show they attack a lot of grown subjects, i cried lots of times watching this show!!
Hiii Hooman, ik this is kinda late but "Familiar" Its just, mmmm so beautiful
Normally I hate react channels with a PASSION, but you're not like the typical react channel! You're awesome!!!
that truly means a lot thank you!
OMG FINALLY 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭💕💞
We made it Weslley! I know it took a while!
Oh wow, I've never thought about comparing this song to "Other Friends", but it totally makes sense!
I think it's a song about someone who wants to pretend that they don't have feelings, that they're not sad, that they've got their emotions in check, and asking the other also get their own feeling in check and move on. It's in accord with the ideology of the Diamonds in the show, an emotional purity and a very pragmatic mind, the idea of a society were people all do their duty and obey to a higher purpose, putting their individuality aside. But progressively, Yellow Diamond has to open up to reach Blue were she's at (grieving, emotionally vulnerable), and ends up showing and realizing that she's also "blue", that she too hasn't really been through the grieving process, and you can infer that her earlier attitude is her way to distance herself from her emotions, that being cold and callous is what she turns to in order to avoid feeling blue and losing control.
a lot of the voice actors for Steven Universe are broadway singers too so the songs usually reflect that
Please do *“Love Like You”* from Steven Universe! It’s my favorite, so much so that I’m actually learning to play it on the piano. I think you’d enjoy it :)
Yellow Diamond's actress is actually a Broadway star. Patti LuPonne. Check out her work in "War Paint" if you get a chance, she's amazing!
This is such an amazing song and one of my favorites. I recommend listening to Happily ever after, Who we are, and Finale.. in that order because they connect.
Fun fact: all of the Diamonds of the Great Diamond Authority are voiced by well known actress/singers.
Christine Ebersole as White Diamond
Patti LuPone as Yellow Diamond
Lisa Hannigan as Blue Diamond
I am purposefully leaving out Pink Diamond's voice actor as there is a spoiler associated with the character. ☺️
I didnt really understand this song like the vocals and stuff. But i love steven universe so much they have amazing songs with multiple meanings behind it this is one of my favorite shows and it is just even more amazing when you find out the hidden meanings behind things
I remember watching this in the show I kinda cried it was so sad
1:25 looks like he was doing the screaming sheep meme!😂
Gosh, Patti LuPone is everything is right in this world.
I’m in love with his voice
Oooh you should do "What Can I Do For You" !! It's another greg song (Steven's dad, the guitar guy with The Hair who sang comet) and it's somehow both super moody *and* rock-y
The singer for yellow diamond also sang for Fantine in Les Miserables.
OMG WHITE SHIRT 🤩
Yes! I have the white version of the shirt to but I like black better because if you get one stain on the white it is over!!!
@@DavidTheHooman Yup that’s how I feel about all the shirts that I have lol
The reason why theyre singing and mourning is bc there was 4 diamonds yellow and blu in the vid but the four diamonds are in order is white,yellow,blue,and pink and pink diamond got shattered/ died and she was know to be really optimistic happy and knew how to boost he mood and there mourning her desth and blue diamond cant get over her death and is still sad and is why yellow is singing and trying to get here to look forward
You should definitely listen to ‘Found’, it’s the continuation of the song ‘Drift Away’ and it’s not a very long song but I really really liked it! It’s harmony is sooo good
you should react to the opening to Great Pretender also it reminds me of Cowboy Bebop's opening.
Fun fact the singer in this song is the lovely and talented Patti LuPone known for her work in stage musicals
Also that's Pattie LuPone if you didn't know. And according to Rebecca Sugar the song is What's the Use of Feeling (,) Blue since she's talking to Blue Diamond
"you cant stay n the sadness" blue diamond : "thats kind of my power and thing"
but yea they did lose pink diamond
hooman!, a little context her name is blue, so when she sings whats the use of feeling blue ?, she is not asking whats the use of feeling sad, she is asking blue " whats the used of feeling", too, and that just makes it better
Yellow is singing about their long-shattered (the Gem equivalent of killed) sister, Pink. Earth belonged to her as a colony, and Blue is trying to preserve everything that was Pinks exactly as she left it as a sort of penance for her own percieved role in her sister's destruction.
Yellow is in deep denial about her grief, refusing to acknowledge it even exists and burying herself in her work to distract herself, and is angry at Blue for neglecting her duties to wallow in the grief she denies herself. But at the end, trying to pull Blue up, she admits she misses Pink, too, probably for the first time since she was shattered. And just like that, Yellow had opened the floodgates. She can't even finish the song, let alone continue admonishing her sister. It's all she can do not to break down crying.
Both of them are dealing with their grief in intensely unhealthy ways, and niether can get past it as a result, which is both the point of this song, and the entire episode it occurs in.
I love "Who We Are" from the Steven Universe movie and I feel that not enough people talk about how amazing Uzo Aduba's voice sounds! I recommend checking it out
The two characters are in the depression and anger stages of grief, as well as a third, unseen character is in denial
The reason the notes are on point is because that’s Patty Freakin Lupone as the yellow diamond.
This song always gave me the feeling of a classic Disney villain in some way
Its Patti LuPone so heck ya that head voice is flawless!!
Yellow and Blue have really different ways of grieving, Yellow can't bare to think about it because she feels like she's to blame. I'm sure that seeing blue mourn makes her uncomfortable because it's making her think about it when she doesn't want to
