When I first heard this song it made me realize it's almost impossible to stamp a particular genre of music on her. This has elements of so many genres, and yet also unlike anything else she's done. I absolutely love her.
Their genre is simply...Latin, Trap, Church Hymns, Cabaret, Show Tunes, Sinatra, Rock, Billy Holiday, Jazz, Alt Rock, Pop, electro DM and crooner...that's all! 😉
Thank you Louise! I really do my best to listen intently and try to pick up what the content is. It can be tough as her songs get very deep. I'm really loving her stuff! Thanks again :)
Sorry for posting this long comment but many people (3) told me it helped them discover more about this song and Billie so... In this song Bellyache the first seen shows Billie sitting on the side of the road and if you look closer in the back ground you will see a shovel in a pile of dirt... that's were she retrieved money, after she killed her friends ☠ If you listen real close, Billie uses the words MINE, MY, MIND, & "I DON'T MIND" (now stay with me... ) You'll hear the D in the very first words cut off Which turns 🎶mind into 🎶MINE or My Then in the 1st chorus she sings 🎶where's my MINE ?!...🎶 as in... "where's what's owed to me" (typical psychopath phase) Also giving reference to a play on the phase "my MINDS in the gutter", & the phase "Windmills of my MIND" YES there are Windmills in the background of the video!!! Billie's GENUIS is amazing she's the real deal... the cop at the end does not stand a chance 🔪☠🤪
Stinger Smith , your observation of the shovel and words are mind blowing how you paid such great attention to small details. I enjoyed reading your post. Well done. Great interpretation of the song.
You nailed it again....she robbed a bank with her friends and killed them all. Fictitious is right!! This is the first song she and Finneas wrote together 50/50! All her vision for the video!
Also u might dig Melanie Martinez. She has a video for every song on both her albums. They are all connected and tell one long story. They are all dark children’s lullabies. But all cut deep! Rabbit whole for sure!
I think you nailed it, I never connected the dots about the money in the video but what you said makes sense. She is singing in a character who killed her friends though. Like I've said before - I recommend Bitches Broken Hearts, When I was older, my strange addiction, bored, and hostage. :)
Nice one - again! 😉👍 Everything, literally every piece of music by Billie Eilish is worth listening - I think, she and Finneas are musical geniuses. ☺️ Hence, it doesn't really matter, which would be your next reaction to her music, because you just mustn't stop before you've listened/seen all there is to listen/see! 😁 What about this one next: "When I was older" ua-cam.com/video/0I4fD49Gbck/v-deo.html (aka "the autotune song" 😁) At first, I kinda wasn't sure of how I much I liked it, but now I love that song, especially how it's building up. And the vocal effect in question really fits in - I'm not quite sure though, if it's really autotune or rather a vocoder, but never mind... 😜 Another suggestion: "Come out and play" ua-cam.com/video/xXFdnHiGwos/v-deo.html Such a beautiful, heartwarming song - one of my favorites, I love it! ❤️
I would highly suggest that you do a reaction to Billies song “ILOMILO” and “MY STRANG ADDICTION”. Both are very good songs and since you are really good at interpreting some of her songs , it would be great to hear your take on it.
You should react to Jessie Reyez. Billie had her opening to her U.S. tour till the virus. Jessie is gonna be huge. She has a few songs with Eminem. She’s dark and honest. React to Shutter Island, Gatekeeper, or Crazy. Crazy is a cover of Patsy Cline don’t know if u know her she’s from like the 50s. All her videos are deep and dark.
Can you imagine that she was 14 and her brother who was 18 produce this song in her little bedroom in they childhoods home (I'm sorry for my English 😁)
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do a reactions to Doja Cat “Say So” and “Rules”. Rules is definitely NC-17, so if you don’t want to do that one, that’s cool. Say So is my fav song by her.
You should react to the Youngblood Chronicles by Fall Out Boy. It's a full album, but each song is connected by the music video. They have a longform video that is 50 minutes, as well as an individual video for each song if you wanted to react to each one separately.
If you watch a lot of her interviews, she does write songs from the perspective of a character. You nailed it on the head with that!

She is her own genre
What I love about your reactions is that you’re not stopping and starting the video all the time! You’re actually listening to the song!!
Thank you Louise! I really do my best to listen intently and try to pick up what the content is. It can be tough as her songs get very deep. I'm really loving her stuff! Thanks again :)
Bellyache acoustic video is amazing, my fave version.
Sorry for posting this long comment but many people (3) told me it helped them discover more about this song and Billie so...
In this song Bellyache
the first seen shows Billie sitting on the side of the road and if you look closer in the back ground you will see a shovel in a pile of dirt... that's were she retrieved money, after she killed her friends ☠
If you listen real close, Billie uses the words MINE, MY, MIND, & "I DON'T MIND" (now stay with me... ) You'll hear the D in the very first words cut off
Which turns 🎶mind into 🎶MINE or My
Then in the 1st chorus she sings 🎶where's my MINE ?!...🎶 as in... "where's what's owed to me" (typical psychopath phase)
Also giving reference to a play on the phase "my MINDS in the gutter", & the phase "Windmills of my MIND" YES there are Windmills in the background of the video!!! Billie's GENUIS is amazing she's the real deal... the cop at the end does not stand a chance 🔪☠🤪
It took me forever to see that shovel! The way she ends those lines sometimes with "mine" and sometimes with "mind" is really interesting.

u deffo have the most wholesome and not cringey reactions to music I’ve ever seen. I’m loving the billie eilish stuff. Keep it coming!!
You hit the nail on the head! ❤️
Nailed it. It's crazy how she was 13-14 at most when she wrote it.
Greetings from Germany again.... love you man
Also u might dig Melanie Martinez. She has a video for every song on both her albums. They are all connected and tell one long story. They are all dark children’s lullabies. But all cut deep! Rabbit whole for sure!
This is my goto song

Hence, it doesn't really matter, which would be your next reaction to her music, because you just mustn't stop before you've listened/seen all there is to listen/see! 😁
What about this one next:
"When I was older"
ua-cam.com/video/0I4fD49Gbck/v-deo.html (aka "the autotune song" 😁)
At first, I kinda wasn't sure of how I much I liked it, but now I love that song, especially how it's building up. And the vocal effect in question really fits in - I'm not quite sure though, if it's really autotune or rather a vocoder, but never mind... 😜

hey great vid!! react to hostage by billie!! Its my favorite, so calming and the whole atheistic of the video is so amazing
Please react to her songs "party favor", "8", "listen before i go", "i love you" and hostage!!!! I love your reactions man!!!

Yes she wrote this in the perspective of a Serial killer! You were spot on!
Can you please react to Hostage from Billie Eilish ❤️ Thank you.
This is probably the only video she didn't have as much input into the direction of the video. She's said that it's not her favorite because of that.
Can you imagine that she was 14 and her brother who was 18 produce this song in her little bedroom in they childhoods home (I'm sorry for my English 😁)
react to listen before i go!! TW it deals with the topic of suicide though so if you're uncomfortable with that dont feel pressured to react
You should check out the song lotta true crime by Penelope Scott it's not exactly the same vibe but bellyache always reminds me of it
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do a reactions to Doja Cat “Say So” and “Rules”. Rules is definitely NC-17, so if you don’t want to do that one, that’s cool. Say So is my fav song by her.
You should react to the Youngblood Chronicles by Fall Out Boy. It's a full album, but each song is connected by the music video. They have a longform video that is 50 minutes, as well as an individual video for each song if you wanted to react to each one separately.
You should react to Billies cover of the song “Yesterday”
You should react to JID
Some of my favorites are:
Off Deez
Slick talk
Off Da Zoinkeys
Hereditary
Never
A lot of people say he sounds like a mix of Kendrick Lamar and Andersen Paak
React to Finneas Let's Fall In Love For The Night
Please please react to Demi Lovato Confident 🙌🏼 I love you videos by the way!!
Listen to hostage by Billie
Please
And blinding lights by the weeknd
Please
Please
Please please
Thank u
