Ok, but am i then only one who understood what he meant by “it sounds like James Bond but I don’t know why?” He meant what element in the song gave it that iconic James Bond quality. I heard it and thought the exact same thing, so I’m glad he pointed out that it’s the electric guitar because i couldn’t work it out before
I think I’ve heard her belt like that once before this song so I wasn’t shocked that could do it BUT I WAS SHOCKED AT HER HOW BEAUTIFUL IT SOUNDED. I was in tears
@Trollking2988 cuz watching live performances is a lot more compelling than listening to it on youtube. the artist can really show off their talent. if her voice sounded considerably different in the live version, that would be a problem
The reason why we connect this song with the James Bond franchise (even if we wouldn't know it's a Bond theme song) is because all of the Bond songs have a very similar chord arrangement (pretty sure it's even a rule when creating a bond theme song). Just listen to a couple and you will notice. E.g. Sam Smiths Writings on the Wall and Billies no time to die
You are correct! The song not only goes with what happens in the movie, but it's also a song that reminds people that they are watching a spy movie. Not sure if that makes sense.
It's the guitar doubling the vocal line. The chords and melody can be different, but that effect still sounds the same. No counterpoint or harmony that you would normally expect, just parallel parts in a different octave.
This song and Adele’s song skyfall have the same vibe and they’re both in James Bond movies, it’s the first thing I thought about when I heard the cords.
Can someone explain what vocal progressing means? If it means what I think it means and I hope I'm wrong. Are people praising for vocal milestones that should have been a prerequisite to mainstream success? Is she not able to belt above a B4?
Guuuys that's not the point. It's about the typicall bond sound. He means which part of the music makes is sound like a bond song. All bonds songs are totally different, but still sound kind of the same, you know?
@@merle9195 but like all the James Bond movie songs had a part that sounds like the iconic James Bond sound right? So why did he ask like it’s not the point. He could have said “ooo there’s the James Bond feeling part” or sum right?
That's John Barry's guitar riffs from 60 years ago that set the iconic James Bond sound. Every Bond movie theme since then tries to relate to the original. Here in this song, Johnny Marr of the Smith's played that riff throughout and most prominently at the end.
For the love of... HE KNOWS ITS A JAMES BOND SONG! It’s the “sound” he’s talking about. The combination of that specific tone of electric guitar and the moody smoke chorus . If anyone’s seen a James Bond movie you know THE sound. It’s just the “bond” sound.
@@finleyobamayomama9359 I also love how big of a toll shes been taking on music lately, like she came pretty much out of nowhere (as in she blew up) and all of a sudden everything is different. I love her too omg
@@supersaiyanswagger6 haha I noticed that. I just thought it was funny that James Bond is so huge and the theme songs have always been so iconic that they’re easy to spot.
It’s frustrating how there are still people commenting “it’s written for a Bond film so that’s why...” everyone is aware it’s for the film...I mean it has the film scenes for the music video and is titled the same. We are just pointing out the qualities that have come from ALL Bond songs that make them have that Iconic “bond” sound. I mean they can produce any song for the film and it could just not have that sound to it and throw it off...so they add those elements...
Guys James Bond is in the video and he brings up "is this gonna be a good movie song?" He knows it's James Bond he was just pointing out how much it have him James Bond vibes
Billie's songs have saved my life, I owe her a lot. She's the BESTTTT Specially this one, Idk abt the movie but the lyrics of this song is so relatable, Everything I wanted as well. I donot know how to explain this feeling about Billie. she's definitely a celebrity who had bad, dark days, has dealed with depression and anxiety. SHE'S EVERY GIRL'S IDOL!!! AND I ADMIRE HER
She’s a queen and she performed this song beautifully live at the Brit awards. She hit that big climactic note flawlessly and filled all of us Billie Eilish fans with pride!
A couple of elements I've noticed in recent bond songs that give it the bond-y vibe (I am not an expert by any means, these are just observations): 1. Most of them are in E-Minor or C-Minor 2. They use the leading note a lot (the leading note is the seventh note in a diatonic scale, in the case of E minor, it's a D#/Eb) 3. The guitar tends to parallel the main melody rather than a counterpoint or separate melody 4. Orchestral elements
Fantastic Tristan analysis! Treat yourself to listening to her singing this live at last year's baftas in UK. It features the famous bassist a full symphonic orchestra and Hans Zimmer on keyboard as well as the masterful Finneas. Also for a fantastic nearly acoustic version, she and Finneas just performed it in some kind of male walled hotel lobby and it is a perfect thing.
I think she sings in a very seductive way, she makes me think of a siren or in the jungle book where the snake sang him into sleep. It's like she's putting a spell on us. Love her x
I think it's more of what makes a james bond song sound like a james bond song. Like when you hear something and are instantly reminded of a place and time
If you haven't already reacted to it, you should watch her perform this live at the Brit Awards. It's amazing and even better than the studio version. And yes, she and Finneas had a lot of control over it and the orchestral score was done by Hans Zimmer with Finneas and Billie being right there to work with them.
Can you pls react to AURORA?? She‘s one of the artists who inspired Billie to start making music and I think you’d really like her! 😃 Highly recommend checking out her cover of God is a Woman, and also her live performance of Through the Eyes of a Child at Vevo UK
My favourite thing ever is this video of Billie watching aurora perform live and screaming 😭😭😭😭 she posted it on her snap prolly like 2 years ago now tho
I'm OBSESSED with that song 😍 could u also react to the live performance of Rain on me at the VMAs? I neeeeed to hear your thoughts on Arianas whistle note

Yeah he meant it had a James Bond vibe. So glad someone pointed this out
@@ratqueen9644 yeah cause it's a song for James bond....so kinda makes sense
Uhm, it's a Bond film song so....
Whose going to tell them she wrote this for a James Bond movie???
the production sounds 99% like Skyfall meets Writings On The Wall
Billie: Did not even start singing
Tristan: So Iconic
It was the image that was iconic lol
lmaooo😭😭😭😭😁😁😁
And pauses the video
He‘s right tho
Omg I’m ur 999 like lmao
The belt is SUPER effective because she does it so rarely, gives me chills.
For real. That’s the beauty of it.
kinda late comment but frrr if she did it in every song it wouldn’t be special anymore
Exactly!!!!!!!!!

Jimmy Fallon??? Looking for that now!!!!
and the 2020 Grammys in January
@@taiwoa6872 It was the BRIT Awards in January. She also sang a tribute song "Yesterday" by the Beatles at the Oscars.
The brit awards live performance was even better than the studio version of the song. I love her
The jimmy fallon one was better just bc the audience isn’t ruining it by yelling and cheering in the middle of it. Because there is no audience lol
“She sings like she’s half asleep but super focused” 😂
I love it! Lol sing like you’re half asleep but super focused.
Me in math class
I died at that comment 😂
she exists in a lucid dream world
I can do that but I still suck
The more disgusted Tristan looks, the better the song!!!😭😂 Is it just me, but Tristan looks so much healthier and happier-it’s the quarantine glow😭✨
Course he's happy he's listening to Billie. Knew he'd lose it for the belt. She kills me with it every effing time.
Her singing gives me the chills.
Same
Same EVRY SINGLE TIME
Same but I love her songs
Same

I watched her sing this live, and it sounds identical. I was so shook that she was able to belt like that

*Daniel craig as james bond comes on screen* "I'm getting a james bond vibe for some craZy reason!!"

YES LIKE THATS WHERE THE BOND NOTE IS!!!
YES! Same! Lol
Yesss
SAME
Tristan YOU PAUSED IT IN THE SAME PLACE 4 TIMES AND I JUST WANTED TO HEAR HER SING THE WHOLE DAMN NOTE 😆 bruh
then watch the original?

True
Nobody:
Tristan: Witch Claws
Ikr lol
Who’s gonna tell him the song is in James Bond👁👄👁
yeah lol, I think he know though he was just commenting on it.
i was boutta say that it sounds like james bond cause it is lmao 😂😂
Oh my goodness! I KNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOWWWWW
I think he was asking what like instruments make it sound like James bond
Leave him alone, he's already gotten beaten up pretty badly before.
When he said “STOP”
My brain said “what the hell are you takin about”

Pretty sure Tristan was tryna figure out how the song had a James Bond vibe. He knows it's a James Bond song lol
Perfect way to put what happened into words. Thank you for this comment.
Yeah I’m reading all the comments saying you know it’s a bond song right? 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
I think he was trying to figure out what elements made it actually a Bond song
if the belt suprised you, i REALLY want you to react to her covering "the end of the world" on bbc radio 1
Yessss
Yea yea yes
Or the bad cover on versions.
Billie : hitting the high note
Tristan : stops the video 6 times
The face expressions tho🤣🤣🤣do you know?how much more face expressions he makes,more he likes the song??
Sounds like Bond cause that’s his leitmotif!! (used in film scores to make us recognize a character or something) so cool
Leitmotiv. It‘s a German word.

Wait, two videos in one day!? Am I dreaming?
