Really? You would think this would be would of ones he doesn't like as much. He's said a lot how it doesn't like songs with repeating choruses a lot nor pandering ones and this fits both. I think the passion you're seeing is just him being more amateur. A lot of people moving around a lot and force emotion to make it seem more natural on stage when they're just getting into it. Great song still, I just don't think this would be one he enjoys a shit ton.
I don't know of he realizes what he's created (he probably does). This song is beautiful. It's everyday stuff that happens what he sings/raps. Every time, I cry at the end with how deep it is. Like really. This is how you make music to relate and move people. He is my idol. I wish to do things he does because of how many people he's inspired. I want to do that and follow in his footsteps. Thank you for understanding Bo. You of all people have the audacity to go up and sing about your feelings while making people good while relating to them at the same time. Thank you.
well yeah. that's what he does. his songs are masked with comedy, but the majority of them have really deep meanings. that way, bot the people who pay attention to the message of the song and the people who just listen to the tune can be entertained.
I think what's really cool about him writing this song is that, even though he faced no bullying himself, he is able to recognize and relate to kids who have and or are going through it. he's mentioned several times that bullying was virtually nonexistent at his school because it was an all boys school, his explanation being that the "need to impress girls" was removed therefore removing the torment, so maybe he's acknowledging that he could have very likely been bullied if he'd attended somewhere else. he does emphasize the luck in his life and the need to do something for those who are less lucky, nerds I guess fills this need.
This is fucking insane. I went to school with this guy. I read through some of the comments and I can tell you that yes he came off as an asshole in highschool. He wasn't bullied or at least from what I saw. I didn't like him much when I knew him, but I can now see why he was so arrogant and mean. He acknowledged things that people his age at the time couldn't even fathom. I'm sure he doesn't remember me because we only talked a handful of times and I didn't remember him either until I stumbled across him on UA-cam and trust me, my first reaction was "get the fuck out of here???". I'm glad he's successful and can now voice his thoughts because now I understand a little bit more I think. I never thought too highly of him, but I see where's he's coming from now.
Rebecca98463 While I still doubt you went to school with him. Even if he wasn't bullied in highschool, is it so wrong to reach out and help others that are.
You do realize there are confirmations that he was bullied in High School which is when he started making UA-cam videos, right? I'm sorry sir, but you are most definitely lying.
I would just like to point out that unless you actually know someone you can very easily misinterpret how they act as them being stuck up or an asshole or something. It could have very well been true, but I myself am very quiet and shy, and usually wouldn't really talk to people unless they talked to me because I didn't want to bother/annoy people. My neighbors told me at one point that they thought I was stuck up or something since I would usually only say hi when they said it because I was afraid of talking to people. My point is you never know what is going on inside someones's head to make them act like that, it could be a self-defense mechanism. I don't know about highschool, but I did hear him in an interview talking about middleschool and how people thought he was gay, and even asked him about it while they were working on a play or something, I think he was much more upset about it at the time, being a child and all. So these things had probably been subtly happening for a while since he was still doing theatre throughout school. Either way it's a good song for others in that situation to hold on to.
You can tell the passion that he has for this song is strong when he did it live, but the line that stood out to me the most was “you can judge by the cover cause it’s shitty on the inside”
This is one of my favourite songs from him. Great song, and much needed. I used to get into a lot of confrontations back in High School standing up for kids who got bullied. Love this fucking song.
ive been a bo fan foreeeeeeever and i just wanna comment that for anyone who is all 'oh bo is problematic' - they clearly arent paying attention and i just wish they would just read the lyrics of this song or something, you know? he wrote an ANTHEM supporting outcasts. and you can feel the anger/passion he has about this issue in the way he performs it. he's incredible. anyway. as you were.
this is beyond beautiful every second of this video breeds good will for a better tommorow... i dont know much about bo burnham i mean like where id be able to get to see one of his showes or anything but i love all of his work
Holy fuck, the pacing it would require to pull this off and stay on-track and have it time out right with the chorus and the sound of the bell ringing is actually insane.
in an interview they asked bo if he was popular in high school and he said he was a theater kid. i love how bo can take real life problems and experiencesand put it into comedy but still have a deep meaning
BO IM A NERD JUST LIKE YOU AND THIS IS MY FAVOURITE SONG BECAUSE IT MEANS A LOT TO ME. IDK WHY IM FANGIRLING SO HARD RIGHT NOW BUT I JUST LOVE THIS SO MUCH AASDFGHJK
Listening on iTunes is very different from watching the video yes its the same song but you can see how much he relates to it the passion he puts in he’s been through shit and you just dont hear that when youre listening to it on iTunes

Krista Shanahan Wrong part lol
i'm disappointed nobody was enough of a nerd to correct your spelling of an acne treatment brand
doesn’t give me chills it gives me tears
I love when bo awkwardly walks around the stage while waiting to start rapping again
That’s exactly what I would do
3 years ago and 1 year ago. We are the late group
@@Emufan99coopid Then What The **** Am I?!?

This song is an ANTHEM
Are you a stock photo

This song is pretty deep... And apparently it's close to him... Just look at the passion he sings with... My Word

@@JelllieWitch then explain oh bo, words words words, art is dead, that is how the world works, goodbye, and WAYY MORE
DAMN YOU BO, GIVE ME MY FREAKING BACK, I KNEW IT WAS YOU WHO STOLE IT
MagnusRushesIn he took yours too!?
Goddamnit Bo! Stop stealing our backs!
Bruk
Hah.. nerds.. he didn’t take my bac- OH MY GOD BO WHAT THE *H E C C*
oH SO THATS WHERE IT WENT
thanks bo, i never needed it anyway
I thoroughly believe the reason he is so mean to hecklers is because he knows they used to be the bullies and bitches.
I love this guy. When he said "I got your back, kid" at the end... Chills.
The crowd is silent!
I know
I couldn't believe it
It’s a serious song though. It would be kinda disrespectful to laugh at a serious song. Just my opinion
Bob Joeman a
he hated when people were loud during his songs
“She stood in line got cut, tried out got cut, loved art but the budget got cut, and and she got numb but she only felt when she knelt and cut”
He loves to end with songs that fuck you up. The Kayne rant and are you happy being the latest versions.
Also "We Think We Know You" for what.
All of inside
And now it's All Eyes On Me and Goodbye

brooke barton he actually has been bullied in highschool
Cup Of Care I'm not meaning this to sound mean, I'm genuinely interested, where'd you hear this? could I have a source?
He was bullied, just not brutally.
Nobody is ever physically bullied i feel like.
Brastie Crandolf ...?
this song is the reason i stopped self-harming.
Bo is my hero
😉😌 stay safe buddy: )
I'm here for you. I used to self-harm too. But that's the thing about us nerds, we all have to stick together. :-)

as the disabled kid who slit her wrists this song makes me sob every time
“That shit sounds like applause “ chills!!!
You can actully see how much some of it hurts him as he sings it
those 6 dislikes are the people who sit in da front
You can see his anger in this song.
This guy needs a Nobel prize
I love how into it he gets. Right from the start he was so upbeat and into it.

I cant believe Bo was bullied... He is, like, my favorite person ever.
its crazy how you can tell he's really intertwined and connected to this song.
this is the song that cemented my love for this comedian. hats off to you Bo.
When he says "i got your back kid" i feel so warm. He has no idea.
i am in love with this man
I know it's bad kid, I got your back kid.
*thank you*

Trogdor Tibbles I presume 'bullied' is used lightly I'm sure Bo being his anti-political correctness self would agree.

I wish I had this song in middle school. I would've felt less alone ❤
as some one who did, it made me feel less alone
Bo is a true artist
Everyone's leaving comments about it being so honest and inspiring and I'm here like,
"Congratu-fucking-lations." My favourite bit of it.
i just love how passionate he is
He moves so smoothly
I'm here 8 years later. It's still real.
thirsty boi
