Early in the verse Aes says "Woke the sleeping beagle skipping toward the kidney swimming pool" so the dog hasn't been awake and alert all day. Ruby actually woke it up on her way to the pool. I really like the line "Canine let his gainer fly" both because of how it sounds and because a gainer is a type of dive. So that's fancy Aes speak for the dog diving into the pool to save Ruby.
@@DreamersDreamBig It's name is not mentioned as far as I know. One thing I've always wondered is why he chose a beagle. I don't think this is based on a true story and a beagle is not a large dog. Seems unlikely that a beagle could carry a child of any size but maybe that's the point.
my 2 favorite language bending moments of this song are ''off into the yawning blue, the splash would mum the rocketships'' and ''the beast she had earlier stirred has been alert since waking up''. I get the goosebumps every time, I don't know why. Maybe it's because of the hyperbolization of fireworks and a beagle into rocketships and a stirring beast.
This is an older video i know but i just wanted to drop in and say that this song almost always makes me cry. The lyrics and intensity of the beat really get to me for some reason
YES, FINALLY. Lemme hear it, I bugged you long enough 🤣 After Edit: Hah! Told you guy, this song slaps way different. There's only one other ''reaction'' to this song on youtube, and its not really a reaction, the man just wanted to explain how this is peak hip-hop storytelling. Read the comments on the song, 9.5 out of 10 people are cryin' (the 10th guy is still cryin, he just don't wanna admit it 😂). First time I got stoned in my car and _really_ listened to it, I kept replaying it and non stop crying for 30 minutes. It gets better with each listen, especially on headphones.
@@DreamersDreamBig we all did man...we all did. _but what the dog doin'?_ Funny enough, about an hour ago I watched a short with a dog that wouldn't let a baby crawl out of the house, all parent-like. Through a storm door no less. AAAND it's also my name day today, how did you know? Thanks for the gift
As you learned from rings, he's an artist. In songs like zero dark thirty and pigs he does all his own art. Pigs is about the rich being greedy and never satisfied basically and the video is a time-lapse of him painting. The painting is insanely badass at the end. Highly recommend pigs
"Howling guests assume the cloven hooves have come to dosey doe" is a crazy line to say the crowd was yelling assuming it was too late seeing the dog dive in. So much weight for a short song
Lol I meant no actual malice by the statement. I know there’s been a war between the two consoles for decades so I thought I’d just poke fun at some of y’all 😅😂
@@DreamersDreamBig Don't worry, no offense taken, I'm a proud member of the PC GAMING master race, I don't identify with the plebes. I just know that after 2 MK matches on the ps5 controller I get carpal tunnel, while the 360s' feels almost like bꙨꙨbs in my hands. Also, he who takes offense at fun being poked at their addiction machine _deserves_ the malice.
@@durere That made me laugh too hard, since I've pretty much only played Chrono Trigger and FF3 on SNES since getting rid of my PS2 two decades ago. My daughter crying to the ending of Chrono Trigger the first time she beat it at age 7 was life-affirming. A good story can't be beat.
Oh shit, I bow to thee PC Master Race. Thou art the mightiest of the gaming species and deserveth praise. I played Fortnite for the first 3 seasons and after trying it on PC for the first time in season 3 and seeing the difference between PC players and I never played again 😂 PC players are just built different
@@DreamersDreamBig PC players build their PCs, that should tell you something. Alas, even though I belong to them, I would be mocked in public. I'm stuck on a busted ass laptop only playing Dota.
it's candles of a Roman _ilk._ That's Aesopean for ''Roman candles''.
And here I am being Joe Rogan thinking they’re hunting Elk 💀
to tell you the truth, even though I know what it means, I still get the image of an elk every time I hear that bar.
Representing fireworks in the story. (Sorry if I'm stating the obvious)
"Everybody say good dog" is the most relieving line in a song i think i've ever heard, too.
Omg right! I was envisioning this song as it was played and almost panicked when I heard the splash of the baby falling into the pool 😫😫

I missed that part, nice catch! I’m just relieved the baby survived. Good dog! Does he ever say the dogs name or mention it in another song??

Aes has such incredible storytelling, from Ruby to Shrunk to Acid King, his style just fits so perfectly into building a great narrative.

EVERY SINGLE TIME without fail. This was a test video too see if even reactions get the same emotion, and yhhheeaaappppo
YES, FINALLY.

@@durere 😂😂 I’m not hip and in with the cool kids, is name day the same as birth day?
@@DreamersDreamBig Nah, but treated similarly where I'm from. It's St. George day today, and m'name's George.
Yeah this one always hits different. It's short but it chokes me up every time.

Pigs was Jeremy Fish, don't know about ZDT. Rogue Wave was his own art, and All The Smartest People.
@J U shit my bad, never researched it. It was just a guy with brown hair and a beard so I assumed. Song and art are still dope regardless though
I mess with both of y’all heavy for sharing knowledge and interacting with my vid 😤🙏🏾
Original or the Blockhead version? I bought the 10" just for that version 😂
@@losxdescabezados Yeah the blockhead mix is INSANE!. If it was to be a choice, I'd vote for that one xD
he's describing a 4th of july celebration, candles of a Roman ILK... roman candles ;)

Love this album!
respect listening to this song.
This damn song had me fearing for a child’s life who’s probably older than me by now 😭😭😂
Damn lmao. Personally attacked for having a xbox. 😅
Lmao no harm done, we accept you for who you are 💀😂😂 (I seriously meant no actual malice with that statement, just feeding into the Xbox vs PS war)
@@DreamersDreamBig 🤣🤣, No offense taken. It was actually pretty funny.
Liked for the xbox bs
Lol Sony all day! (I meant no actual malice with the statement, just leaning into the Xbox vs PS war)
Candles of a Roman ilk means of the Roman kind ie Roman Candles
Yes, and refers to the fireworks in this story.
Whatever you say or think, the xbox 360 controller is peak.
