@@SIGMAAARIZZZZZfrrrr also lov your pfp!!
Roonie was like 💅💅💅💗 pretty
@@panteraweeks3807 real
P.s. the lyric
"Change your name or change your mind"
Means that when she got divorced, She didn't want to change because thats how everyone remembered her
that makes so much sense. wow.
The story behind it is so sad. I got to meet her when I was around 9 years old, because my dad is contact with her husband. She was the sweetest woman. She passed away a few years ago. I’m so grateful for the music she left for us. She was truly a light in the world.
Edit: By her husband, I meant Jonathan, not Phil. :)
Wait your father was friends with phil-
@@im_camilas_fav Not Phil, fortunately. My dad was in contact Jonathan Greenfield, the man she was married to until she passed.
@@angelinap4540 I wish I could meet her , because I just wanna hug her so bad.
@@wandatili6794she died
Lucky! You got to meet her!
now I can’t listen to it without thinking abt the real story 😭
YES THO😭
YEOJINNN
BRO SAME
😭😭
@@saturnaliaaa YEEEEESSS
Rip Ronnie may she rest in peace
She did not deserve Phill he was nothing but a good for nothing scumbag
I guess you can say that she "Changed her name and changed her mind and left that fucked up place behind but he knew he knew he knew he knew"
“Ronnette my dear don’t ever disappear”
“We’re the Christmas kids, we’re nothing but gifts”
“And leave this fucked up place behind”
these lyrics are making a lot more sense now
its « the christmas kids were nothing but à gift » bc he adopted kids for christmas so she couldn’t run away
damn.....
@@dianedubled3100 what.... now thats f'd up
@@ccryxo FR😭😫
Help my brain. My mind freaks out each time I listen to it like I have a full-out freak out 💀💀💀
In the 1960s, Ronnie was a young woman in a music group called the Ronnettes. Her and the Ronnettes met a music producer named Phil Spector. They trusted him so he got them some fame. Phil has produced albums for The Beatles and those turned out pretty well, and so did the albums for The Ronnettes. During this time, Phil and Ronnie developed a relationship together and at first things were going great. But when Phil started producing bad album, after bad album, after bad album, he decided to retire. After his retirement, and The Ronnettes fading away, Phil got extremely depressed. He and Ronnie lived in a mansion together, and when Phil started getting depressed, he also got extremely controlling. He would have guard dogs outside of their mansion, and eventually confiscated her shoes so she couldn’t escape. But the thing is, during this time, they actually got married and adopted a son.
One Christmas morning, Phil thought it would be a good idea to gift Ronnie a pair of twins even though they already had an adopted son. Ronnie of course did not like the idea of the “ Christmas Kids “ ( hehe. Get it. That’s where Roar got the song title ) Apparently, according to Phil, the twins were supposed to be a way to fix their marriage. But of course, the twins didn’t work.
Phil also had a golden coffin with a glass lid and, he would threaten to display her corpse, if she ever tried to leave him.
And whenever she went out alone ( which was not that often ) she would have to drive with a live size doll, that looked exactly like Phil. Unfortunately, the children were not free from this torture either. They were locked in their rooms most of the time with buckets in the corners of their rooms used as toilets.
It’s now 1972, Ronnie has a small window to escape, and only a small window. With the help of her mother, Ronnie Spector successfully escaped that mansion of Hell.
She kept her last name as Spector to at least show a little respect for Phil for his work on getting the Ronnettes popular again for at least a little bit. After Ronnie escaped, Phil became even more depressed and more of a horrible person. And after she left, Ronnie was next to having nothing because she knew if she took anything from Phil, her life would be in jeopardy. After the divorce, Phil threatened to hire a hit man to find and hurt Ronnie or pull a gun to her head if she didn’t allow him to have full custody of their kids. Phil was so pathetic that he barred the Ronnettes from being in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Even though he did do this, in 2007 The Ronnettes were added to Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Eventually, The Ronnettes sued him for all that they were worth. Phil ended up having to pay Ronnie 1 million dollars after their trial.
By the way, Ronnie Spector should NOT be remembered for her unfortunate personal life, but her amazing music career. She was a rock icon and The Ronnettes were amazing too. She was a role model for young women in the 1960s and she should definitely not be remembered as “ Phil Spector's ex wife “
And may Ronnie Spector rest in peace.
( and btw, The Ronnettes music is really good too )
Thanks for the info bud
@@DavidSuave6T9 No problem👍
What happened to the kids tho? Did they get out alright?
@@lukeskywalkereu6107 All of the kids are still alive today, but they don’t put that much information when you look them up
@leteciaglino4207 He died from covid I believe 2 years ago. And Ronnie also died a little more than a year ago
"I'm leaving Phil, I'm leaving now; I'm going to escape but you won't know how--or where to find me when I'm gone. I'll drink myself to death inside this prison cell. This prison cell"
That's actually really scary ngl.
Yeah the kids
Don't forget she couldn't leave her home like at all
She was allowed to leave for her time of the month items once a month and had a bodyguard glued to her when she did leave
There were barbed wire fences, cameras, guard dogs, and
A coffin in the basement as a threat to Ronnie from Phil
He was threatening to have her killed if she left
Phil was buggin ong
@@DavidSuave6T9 straight wilin for real
It is said the lorax grabbed his *patootie* and left with Ronnie and were never seen again.
Bahahahaha😂😂
Me thinking it related to The promised neverland, It was a fucked up place
Ronnie and Phil both adopted one child together, whereas on Christmas day, Ronnie was gifted with a pair of twins from Phil himself. She never gave the okay, and the children were also locked in their rooms with buckets as toilets.
The fact that the lyrics are 'you'll change your name , and change your mind and leave this fucked up place behind , but ill know ' is pretty close to this story
“Ronette my dear don’t ever disappear”
“We’re the Christmas kids we’re nothing but gifts”
“You can change your name or change your mind”
“And leave this fucked up place behind”
“But I’ll know, I’ll know”
Wow I didn’t think this had a terrible back story thank you for teaching me now it all makes sense. Just thinking about the I’ll know part I can’t imagine what she was going through.
It's "the christmas kids, were nothing but a gift"
...
"Im going to escape and you won't know how"
...

I hope i dont make an arguement
Phil looks like a whole Alternate from the Mandela catalogue
He probably is fr.
Who’s Shalissa?
It's like uncanny since the eyes scares me.
in loving memory of VRB, one of the bravest women ever
Something that makes this even dark is that in 2003 Phil murdered a women which makes him even more of a monster then he already wss
bro did you see the pics of him in court buddy looks evil
People who know about Phill Spector backstory😨 people who don't know 😀
“If you ever try to leave me, I’ll find you, ronnie” that made that lyric a whole new prospective
Okay but roar is awesome
Okay... I'll just think about South Park from now on- 💀
That's disturbing
I always listen to the song because it reminds me of South Park.. now I know..
I just posted that comment and it’s already liked
@@JustAnotherAbby I don't listen to it and it's not in my playlist anymore💀
@@maidraws4591 it was in my playlist, but after watching this I deleted it😬
Bro my name is Ronnie
"change your name, you'll change your mind *and leave this fucked up place behind* , But I'll know"
this part of the song always gives me chills because it's literally saying that phill watched Ronnie's every move. "but I'll know."
have you seen pictures of him dude looks creepy kind of looks like that evil guy from the Simpsons
Omg ikr
@@DavidSuave6T9 are u talking abt mr burns?
People who don't know😀 people who know 😨
Ronette my dear don't ever disappear"
Damn..
“if you ever try to leave me ill find you ronnie” 5x
That's why they did him dirty in that album cover 😂
I just thought it was just the silly lorax song
;-; bro there's a thing I didn't wanted to know, that is my comfort song and now I'm terrified
I love this music and it's my fav music since like 2021,but I can't lie,sometimes I realized what's the music saying on some parts like "I'm leaving Phil,I'm leaving now,I'm going to escape but you won't know how" and "this prison cell,this prison cell"
I listen to this song at the gym even tho it isn't motivational music
Why does Phil Spector in the pictures look like the man that thousands of people dreamed of.
If you dont know what I mean search up "dream man" and maybe that should help.
Bruh funny you say that I made a video a while back on him 😁
That ruined this whole song for me 😭
nah bro its still a good song
Now I can’t listen to the song the same again, I wish that I didn’t find this video-
this changes the song from comforting to absolutely terrifying. Phil got Ronnie twins for christmas so that she would get emotionally attached and not run away? thats terrifying.
“The Christmas kids were nothing but a GIFT”
i actually knew this. he also adopted kids for christmas and that's how they got the name
The song:🕺🏻😁😀
The back story💀😢🏴☠️🌚
guy looks like a 1960s discord mod
no bc I listened to this song casually singing along without knowing the backstory and singing the lyrics 😟
🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥✨“WERe GOING BACK TO SOUTH PARK WITH THIS ONE!!!”🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥✨
That explains why he says, "if you ever try to leave me, I'll find you Ronnie." That creepy😥
yes very creepy indeed
Ronnette, my dear, don't ever disappear
Do what you want as long as you stay here
I need you now, I love you so much, more than you could know
The Christmas kids were nothing but a gift
And love is a tower where all of us can live
You'll change your name, or change your mind
And leave this fucked up place behind
But I'll know, I'll know
I'll know, I'll know
I'll know, I'll know
I'll know, I'll know
Appearing unsightly, with devils inside me

If you ever try to leave me, I'll find you, Ronnie
If you ever try to leave me, I'll find you, Ronnie
I'm leaving, Phil, I'm leaving now
I'm going to escape, but you won't know how
Or where to find me when I'm gone
I'll drink myself to death insi-i-i-i-i-i-ide this prison cell, thi-is prison cell
So, get me out of here
Get me out of here
Get me out of here

That’s why she leaves this fucked up place behind
"Or change ur name and change ur mind and leave this fcked up place behind, but ill know ill know, ill know ill know"
He also dated ronny when she was a minor and he was 26, not to mention, he dated her when he was already married. (He also murdered a woman)
Me when don't know the song's backstory: 😁😄
Me when know the song's backstory: 😨💀
And i thought she was the problem
nah its Phil he's the problem
ARE YOU GONNA TELL ME THAT I CANT HANDLE CHANGE HAS A DARK BACKSTORY?? ...please tell me it doesnt-
R.I.P both of them I hope they have a great time in heaven I think
Even Phil Spector?
i hope phil rots in hell
@@Na_Turek He's gonna be in hell. He shot a lady and got 19 years+life
I mean he died in a prison cell cus he apparently became a murderer? So Uhh
Phil Spector is nowhere near heaven
After watching this, the song has a completely different feeling
The Christmas kids😊 my favorite song
I actually can’t believe that this song was release at my birthday☹️
I used to vibe to this song, now every time I hear it I am terrified.
Bro should "leave this f*cked up place behind"
Phill: adopts kids for christams
Ronnie: runs away
Lorax: had enough of this shit and took his ass to heaven
WHY IS EVERYBODY MAK8NG SOUTH PARK EDITS WHAT HAPPENED THATS SO SHOCKING OR SAD IM SO CONFUSED IM ONLY ON SEASON 3😭😭😭😭
😢music 😿😿
yes music
that face when a creator actually included info about the backstory instead of just showing pictures of the incident
RONNETTE, MY DEAR, DON’T EVER DISAPPEAR
Do what u want as long as u stay hereeee
All I’m saying is this song is good but it’s just the backstory about it
And she sadly died of lung cancer in 2022. Rip Ronnie Spector,
Edit:
The picture of the album is them, the pics r the one of Phil and Ronnie you showed on: 0:12 and 0:20

She could run without shoes …
But I still understand her though 🥲
The origin of this song is pretty much Hello Neighbor summarised without the weird magical shadowy man
whats the origin of Hello Neighbor?
@@DavidSuave6T9 basically the neighbor (I think his name is mr. peterson) has a wife and family, the wife died in a car accident and the son accidentally pushed the daughter off the roof to their death. But since the neighbor loves his kid so much he decided to keep him in his basement, locked up with barely any food or water, and this is until the second game where he NEARLY escapes….until some mystery man bonks the player. All of this is happening, meanwhile, we have our player, trying to break in, unaware of the son in the basement. That’s pretty much it if we forget the supernatural elements
if he loved him why didn't he feed him
@@DavidSuave6T9 that part I’m not sure, the games don’t really do that much of a good job explaining the story too much
AW HELL NAH
STOP IM THINKING ABT THE SOUTHPARK EDITS WITH THE SOING
Its so heartbreaking that we have ppl like this in our world
That’s why the Lorax leaving and this song are relatable
"You can change your name, or change your mind. And leave this ------ up place behind but ill know"
That part is so much deeper now
And that's why the lyrics are "if you ever try to leave me ill find you ronnie"
The Lorax is leaving me
yes
Left out the part where he was later convicted of murder. 🤔
may she rest in peace

She left just like the Lorax!!

And may never come back with the milk
The song is about producer Phil Spector's abusive relationship with his wife Ronnie Spector. Phil Spector was a music producer who was known for his innovative "Wall of Sound" production technique that was popular in the 1960s. He was married to Veronica "Ronnie" Bennett, who was the lead singer of the girl group, The Ronettes, between 1968 and 1974.
According to Ronnie, Phil Spector was controlling and jealous, and he would often physically and emotionally abuse her. She described incidents where he would pull her hair, hit her, and even threaten her with a gun. She also said he would isolate her from her friends and family and force her to stay at home and not work on music.
Ofc Phil always had a face like he was a criminal, abuser, and he didn't let Veronica break up with him because he said that if she did , he will kill her, and she is extremely gorgeous
Are you like this because it has a creepy and it has good music. Also, my opinion.
Idk man i still cry every time i hear this SONG like i git break down in tears cuz it makes me scared of growing up and everyone leaving me to grow up and live their lives but i couldn't and i stayed behind i think i need therapy but hell this shi hit different to me bruh
growing up is the worst its not like the movies
Damn I didn’t know that song has such a deep backstory thanks for telling the story 🤠
no problem
bro made the lorax never come back💀💀
I mean I guess it makes sense based of these lyrics
"If you try to leave me, I'll find you Ronnie"
"I'm leaving, Phil, I'm leaving now I'm going to escape, but you won't know how"
"Ronnette, my dear, don't ever disappear"
It's always the upbeat sounds 😭🫤like baby hotline
THIS IS MY FAV SONG AND I JUST REALISED HOW UNSETTLING IT IS NOW!?
"Youll change your name. Or change your mind. Or leave this f***ed up place behind. But ill know." It gives me chills
"You'll never disappear" "ill know" those lyrics feel very discomforting
Also, "if you try to leave me ill find you ronnie" JESUS CHRIST ALMIGHTY
Plot twist: Lorax leaving is based on Ronnie after divorce
Shit why my yt short arrive video like this i even new hear to this song 😢😢
In my opinion christmas kid is sad song
yeah
Ronnette, my dear, don't ever disappear
Do what you want as long as you stay here
I need you now, I love you so much
More than you could know
The Christmas kids were nothing but a gift
And love is a tower where all of us can live
You'll change your name, or change your mind
And leave this fucked up place behind
But I'll know, I'll know
I'll know, I'll know
I'll know, I'll know
I'll know, I'll know
Appearing unsightly
With devils inside me
If you ever try to leave me, I'll find you, Ronnie
If you ever try to leave me, I'll find you, Ronnie
If you ever try to leave me, I'll find you, Ronnie
If you ever try to leave me, I'll find you, Ronnie
I'm leaving, Phil, I'm leaving now
I'm going to escape, but you won't know how
Or where to find me when I'm gone
I'll drink myself to death inside
This prison cell
This prison cell
So get me out of here
Get me out of here
Get me out of here
Get me out of here
You'll change your name, or change your mind
And leave this fucked up place behind
But I'll know, I'll know
I'll know, I'll know

Fun Fact Thats Scary: He put a coffin in the basement so that if she runs away or files a divorce then he would kill her..
واحد يترجم
I feel bad for that woman but I'm glad she ran out and escaped
Here’s the full explanation :3
Roar is a Phoenix, Arizona hard rock band formed by Owen Eagan’s in the late 2000s. In 2016, Evans started moonlighting as the touring drummer for fellow Arizona-based folk-punk band AJJ, but he continued to release records as roar. “Christmas kids” is a track from roars 2020 debut EP, i cant handle change.
This song is about producer Phil Spector’s abusive relationship with his wife Ronnie Spector. Phil Spector was a music producer who was known for his innovative “wall of sound” production technique that was popular in the 1960s. He was married to his wife Veronica “Ronnie” Bennett who was the lead singer of the girl group “the Ronnettes” between 1968 and 1974.
According to Ronnie, Phil Spector was controlling and jealous, and he would often physically and emotionally abuse her. She described incidents where he would pull her hair, hit her, and even threaten her with a gun. She also said that he would isolate her from her friends and family and force her to stay at home and not work on music.
(Song lyric:)
Appearing unsightly
With devils inside me
If you ever try to leave me, I’ll find you, Ronnie
“Phil Spector was said to have hidden his wife, Ronnie’s shoes so that she couldn’t run away”Evans detailed to the Phoenix new times. “He was rumored to have threatened his wife with a glass casket he kept in the house saying that he would display her corpse in it if she attempted to escape. Spector was simultaneously writing and producing trite, catchy, pop songs for teens.” The title refers to the twins Louis and Gary Spector that Phil reportedly coerced Ronnie into adopting one Christmas in attempt to salvage their marriage.
(Song lyric:)
The Christmas kids were nothing but a gift and love was a tower where all of us can live
Ronnie eventually filed for divorce against Spector, citing irreconcilable differences. The singer later wrote in her 1990 memoir, “be my baby”, that she feared for her life during her marriage, and her mother helped her to escape from him. Lois and Gary Spector also accused of their adopted father of engaging in likewise behavior towards them. Roar released “Christmas kids” as a single on march 14, 2010. It entered the UK singles in 2023, 13 years later, after trending on TikTok.
Basically the writer was abusive to his wife and adopted kids on Christmas so she can be emotionally attached to them and not run away and he hid her shoes for the same reason.
