Oh he is definitely not surviving Funeral
lol this aged well
For real
waited for years for this moment, can't believe this is happening
My first thought lmao
All ready calling it 😅
the end of scott street literally is the sound of looking back on childhood memories knowing it's never gonna be the same again
Fr
STOP IT.
esp since it has that interpolation of goodbye horses
YES WITH THE RING OF THE BIKE BELL AND THE HONK OF THE HORN OMG
NO LIKE ACTUALLY STOP IT NOW I CANNOT LISTEN THE SAME
“B*tch you’re blue?!” during funeral is the biggest mood
good luck with scott street that’s all I’ll say 😭
literally
Omg you watch the Sturniolo triplets
the train whistle makes me lose my mind every time
the bicycle ring got me falling on my knees every time
His reaction to Scott Street and Funeral unlocked feelings I haven’t felt in a hot minute. I used to wake up so sad every day.
sounds like you’re not waking up so sad anymore. me too, man. it’ll all work out.
god this comment made me cry. I used to wake up sad every day too. I can't believe that I don't wake up sad every day now, I can't believe that I'm not filled with dread when I realise I have to exist through another day. still have my bad weeks but fucking hell things are so much better now.
now I'm thinking about how convinced I was that there was no escape, that it was that hollow numb feeling forever or death and I just want to hug my past self because I was just a kid and I hated the world and myself so damn much. I'm crying
@@orion.the.pathmanreal
@@orion.the.pathman thanks for commenting cuz thats where ive been for many years now and living in it for so long it seems impossible for it to be any other way. I'm holding on for that day i can wake up and be confident when i say im happy, and hearing that other people can make it through gives me hope🫂❤
troy sobbing to funeral is the realest thing i’ve seen all day
The only thing more true is that it was the most predictable thing
i'm so scared for Hthaze if he ever listens to Adrianne Lenker
he will not handle it
oh he will loose it, but i need it
what song do you think would get him the most?
I want him to listen to songs so bad!!! And her newest album too
Would love to see him react to Songs (2020)
His reaction to “you were in a band when I was born” WAS SO REAL
The way "Anyway, don't be a stranger" which is a totally innocuous line in the abstract, just always brings me to tears is so incredibly masterful... like... fuck... how could you make a better song than Scott Street? It's a perfect song.
@@HappyNBoy and the fact that the opening line for that song is "walking Scott Street feeling like a stranger" makes me want to puke it's so sad
The entire outro of Scott Street is one of my favorite moments in music ever
It is absolute perfection
I agree! It is so beautiful
real
So real

HTHAZE and Phoebe Bridgers never disappoints. Who’s ready to cry?
Troy definitely was
i don’t think u wrote that right babe😭😭
@@francish6695 HELP, I didn’t even notice. 😭 I fixed it, thank you
Almost an entire hour of content too🙏
Funeral is actually a masterpiece of a song. Was my top song on my Spotify wrapped a few years ago (421 times I don’t think I was okay) lol
You don't think?!?! U were not but honestly same, last year it was like in my top 10
It was 551 times for me, WE ARE SO MENTALLY UNWELL
@@exiles4527 LOL we kill it fr
@@rjpoiroux8055 yeah i don’t think I’ll ever hit 421 again but I know this song will always be on my spotify wrapped
400+ ⁉️hope you're doing better babe 😭😭
Funeral is still one of the saddest songs I’ve heard. It had me straight up crying in World Market.
i haven’t listened to this album since i was severely depressed a while ago. i’m literally sobbing. actually dying over how much i’ve healed since then
so happy for you❤️❤️
That’s how I feel about Sprained Ankle 🥹
The way that last sentence makes me so insanely happy♥️I'm so glad you're healing, it gives me hope for myself too
@@frozendonut722 you will! it was hell getting here but i’m doing a lot better
i'm happy for you, i hope you're doing okay
found myself saying, "i fucking love this song" each time you introduced the next track for the entire video😭 an album of all time for me for sure
I agree. This album is untouchable in a lot of ways
oh no now i am crying with Troy to Funeral… again
lol same its like living it for the first time haha
@@mrsscatania truly hahah
you missed my heart is so underrated ik it’s a cover but phoebe totally transforms it. it’s so utterly devastating but beautiful. the ohio river part makes me SOB.
i actually cannot listen to funeral without bawling so you crying to it is so real actually
“i buried a hatchet, it’s coming up lavender” is one of the most beautiful lyrics in the history of ever
I have a tattoo of a hatchet&lavender 🥹
@@katemirabella413 it's been on my list for a while to get inked!!
im aware i sound undeniably stupid, but can someone explain this lyric to me please
@@xo.kyleigh there’s an old saying “bury the hatchet” which is to essentially put to rest an argument or dispute. i just googled its origin, i’m not sure how valid this is but it’s what google said: “The expression comes from a centuries-old practice involving the literal burying of a hatchet, seen among the Native American tribes of North America. Chiefs would meet and bury their weapons as a symbolic gesture of peace.”
so the meaning i take from the lyric is basically - if you let go of the past or process previous trauma or forgive something/someone - lavender/something new, beautiful and unexpected can grow from that experience.
@@caitlinwalker246 thank you so much this helped my understanding a lot :)
Stranger in the alps and punisher literally changed my life, they made me reflect on my life more than therapy. When through covid with punisher and it felt like a warm blanket but also a punch in my face. Your reactions made me relieve the first time I heard this masterpiece and for that, thank you ♥
i’ve loved funeral for YEARS. it was my safe song because it made me feel like i wasn’t alone. the song is really so beautiful.
LESBIANS AND BISEXUALS EVERYWHERE CHEERED !!!
and at least one gay man!
the emotional connection i have to this album is insane. this album is my 2021, so sad yet so endearing. ghostly. This album got me through my senior year when i barely graduated and my mother was finishing chemo for cancer. Lots of stressful things. But this shit HAD ME 😅
so similar for me!! every time I listen to this album I have such a visceral reaction because of the time in my life I discovered it. such a beautiful piece of work
hope you’re mom is okay now)
@@ЛюдинаРозумна-ж7ьOh shes fine now thank goodness. Finished her remission in 2023. Some things are not the same but thats a given. But she’s alive and thats what matters ❤
@@-_elijah_- I'm glad to hear your mom is doing better, i hope you're doing okay as well
omg the exact same thing for me, the same year x
Julien baker album next please. Literally any album, I think sprained ankle would have you sobbing the whole stream tho. Actually they all would.
or home video by Lucy Dacus. Both are masterpieces.
omg i want him to hear “the harder i swim the faster i sink” so bad
I need reactions to all of the boygenius artists albums ASAP
turn out the lights bc i need his reaction to sour breath!!!!
i NEED a reaction to favor

girl thank you sm you’re the best💗
Editors not seeing their families with the amount of albums he’s doing this year
I promise they see their families at LEAST once a year 😂
Troy you GOTTA do the Boygenius EP
I need his reaction to souvenir and salt in the wound specifically
@@ldrgenius I still feel like no producer has been able to capture Boygenius on record though. Their live show is SO insanely good the recordings never do it justice for me.
YESSSS
Also the whole historian album
would you rather is actually about when her childhood house burnt down, and everyone blamed her brother 😅
The use of violin in all of her songs, this album and Punisher, just strike me right in the gut. There’s so much emotion conveyed there
you NEED to react to Waiting Room by Phoebe Bridgers !!
he said at the end he did as a patreon exclusive :)
"hthaze reacts this way to every song" okay and??? He's validating the feelings I have about all the songs I like. I'm gonna keep watching. Love u hthaze
TROY IVE BEEN WAITING A LONG TIME!!! THANK YOU!!!!!
EXACTLY!!!!!
also I noticed that smoke signals annotation on genius is kinda silly lol. Yes art is open to interpretation but why were they mentioning mythology and etymology of pelicans lol. Phoebe is the type of writer to give you a situation, then use a bunch of descriptive language to paint a picture. She is comparing this lost lover looking for her to a person lost on an island throwing smoke signals in hopes of finding a saviour lol.
i was SO taken by surprise to see this upload but SO INCREDIBLY HAPPY. the cut to you sobbing on the couch with your arms crossed is so funny i almost peed. in my opinion phoebe is one of the best songwriters of our generation and i don’t think she gets enough credit. don’t get me wrong, she gets credit, but not enough. she has an effortless talent of portraying imagery for her songs through words and she always makes you feel harder than you expect in a uncomfortable but comfortable way. i love everything she’s ever put out. love your reactions - they’re always the perfect mix of humor and genuine thought/review. and your editing is always top notch.
side note - i hope we have a new billie album reaction coming 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 it’s SO good dude.
he has already reacted to it so it should be out soon hopefully, probably just needs editing
im so ready for your reaction to Scott Street… one of my favorite songs EVER
It's so beautifully written!
Troy immediately understanding You Missed My Heart (when most people get kinda lost at that one) is the reason he deserves every bit of his success
Troy, you might also like Phoebe's performance of Killer with Noah and Gabby Gundersen. It's a mashup of "Killer" and their song "The Sound". I can't expresss what this song makes me feel. For me, it's similar to Chinese Satellite.
2nd this times a million
I think he would like any and all of the Noah Gundersen records as well. They’re all fantastic
thank you for introducing me to this you changed my life
@@lauryn4648 🥺
hi! i don't know if you'll see this, but i just wanted to say thank you for making these videos.. they really allow me to slow down and process music with you, as well as find artists i love. i used to listen to music all the time and sing and then i kind of lost the love for it after a particularly hard year. these videos have helped me regain that joy. much love!
i love watching this man cry to sad songs
The chugging of the water when the tears are welling up too quickly🤣 glad you finally get to experience this pain with us Troy🥺
begging for more people to react to Djo (DECIDE specifically, I think the production would be really interesting to you) and The Amazing Devil (probably The Horror and the Wild, their genre is called lyrical alt-folk, or as one of them describe it "songs sad people listen to in train stations”)

omfg stranger in the alps literally SHAPED me as a human being. cured my depression yet also made me increasingly more depressed at the same time...
the way i have listened to this album so many times, seen it live, etc... but watching troy react has given me the feeling of hearing it again for the first time!!!! thanks king
FINALLYYYYYYYY OMG MY JAW JUST DROPPED IN THE SOUTH OF GERMANY
somewhere in germany but i cant place it
man I hate this part of texas
close my eyes, fantasize
Scott’s Street sounds like how it feels to reminisce on memories and childhood.
THANK YOU FOR FINALLY LISTENING TO US AND REACTING TO THIS
Im actually getting a tattoo dedicated to her song funeral
"I always have and I always will" is what I'm getting because it's my favorite song ever
Not me checking every day for the HMHAS video. That stream had me dying of laughter!
He said It will be up next month
my b if u discover and say this later in the video but i just had to comment bc it’s one of my fav lyrics, the “throwing rocks around your room” into “bleeding on your back in the glass” is saying that their relationship was a glass house that he shattered and then hurt himself and that’s why she said “i’ll be glad that i made it out, i’m sorry that it all turned out like it did”. phoebe is a GENIUS!!!!
stranger in the alps is actually my favorite phoebe album. i can't really put into words what it makes me feel but it's like being taken apart and pulled back together in 40 minutes. a masterpiece in my opinion
Some tell me if he has ever reacted to Sleeping at Last? Because I feel like he would both love it and sob the entire way through. Like, either Atlas albums are just. Life changing
oh my god. this is all i need
oh i am so seated for this
WAIT TROY you gotta react to like red flannel georgia, waiting room, the gold, summer’s end all in one video
SECOND THISSSS
so happy you did this! ever since i saw your punisher reaction i’ve been longing to see you hear stranger in the alps
Someone probably already commented this but Motion Sickness is about Ryan Adams. Such a good diss track
I’ve watched the Patreon version like 20x I’m so excited to see the edited version
This tour WAS magical 🤩 So many instruments live
I would love for you to react to Julien or Lucy's solo projects too, I think you'd love those also!!!
You don’t know how long I’ve waited for this moment ✊🏿😌
What i love about phoebe is her relatability in specificity. Her songs are so specific and detailed, yet completely relatable because of the feelings put in these songs, and relating to reminiscing on specific details of a past relationship/childhood memory if that makes any sense lmao. i love it so much
0:56 someone in the chat saying "demi lovato" instead of "demi moore" is REALLLYYY getting me lmao
This is easily one of my favorite videos he’s done. I’ve already watched it 3 times. It’s such a comfort.
i had this album on loop right before and right after my grandma passed back in 2020. it was september, just when everything was starting to die. there’s something poetic there but i don’t really want to point it out. i miss her. this album helped me grieve.
dude you need to search for old videos of teenage Phoebe singing Georgia…those old videos of her belting it acoustically, just her on the guitar, are just everything
I need him to react to Home Vídeo by Lucy Dacus ASAP! Such a great album as well.
Buddy, thanks for making these videos. You've introduced me to some incredible artists that I now deeply resonate with. I even keep putting on some of the same videos you've made now when working. Thanks dude
YESSS FINALLY!! IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS
SAMEEE
I would pay insane amounts of money to listen to this album for the first time again
Should I listen to it?!?!
Smoke Signals to me reads a lot like punisher, like someone must have been talking to her directly because she relates so much. You are anonymous because you don't really know me. All the literary references too
you guys get that I was looking for a video to eat to and usually, it takes me a while before I find a good one. Then I stumble on this as soon as my UA-cam opens. I'm getting Mcdonald's rn ! SO HAPPY
Been waiting for this!!! You should listen to Better Oblivion Community Center with Pheobe and Connor!!
u gotta listen to phoebe's cover of "the gold" its sooooooo incredible!
okaaay, you convinced me. i’ll listen to her entire discography again (i listen to her 24/7)
first time i ever heard smoke signals was in a zuko edit LMFAO....... "one of your eyes is always half shut, something happened when you were a kid"
oh shit
Funeral is one of my go to songs when I feel a deep sadness/the need to cry, but I can't access those emotions easily by myself so I put on music to help me release them, funeral brings tears to my eyes 9 out of 10 times. So devastating. I love it
you missed my heart always makes me sob. so underrated
You and Chase Carneson are my absolute fave reactors to music because it’s always without a doubt empathetic af and you both go so deep with how the lyrics and music impact you.
i hope phoebe somehow comes across this video and watches it in full i think she’d like it
i don’t know if you do underground artists (yes ik i sound like an annoying person rn) but there’s this band called trousdale that i think you’d really like! they have an album out called out of my mind, their harmonies are insane. 🙇♀️🙇♀️
He does a series called “reacting to bands you’ve never heard of” where he does underground artists!
I LOVE TROUSDALE
troy you GOTTA listen to julien's cover of motion sickness from their show at the hollywood bowl, i think you'll love it
Glad you mentioned Ryan Beatty! Calico is amazing. I went to see him and he’s honestly one of the only artists that somehow sound better live than the recording.
I just discovered you today on tiktok and did a video marathon and now you're here reacting to another one of my favorite albuns (the first one i watched was billie's last one) love it
i got to see phoebe live a few summers ago and sobbed all the way through funeral. that song is gut wrenchinggggg
Funeral's gonna get him
There is something healing about watching reactors listen to beautiful music and crying together.
omg yes I've been waiting for this for SO long
Such a beautifully crafted album. Every single note and texture with so much intention.
"Coming up lavender" is referencing her favorite songwriter's song "Coming Up Roses" by Elliott Smith. And when you bury A hatchet, it means, two or more people in a fight have made peace. But she sings "I buried THE hatchet", and lavender, in the language of flowers, means distrust. So "coming up roses" would be a good thing. "coming up lavender" is not. I feel like she's finishing the song explaining there's really no closure in the relationship. And, by the way, the "growling" you hear when Bowie is mentioned is actually a sample from his song "Moss Garden", in the album "Heroes". It's actually the sound of a rocketship.
I was waiting for someone in the chat to say it, but It'll All Work Out is also a cover! the original is by Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers (for those who weren't aware) and is on spotify. I've been listening to that version since I was a kid and didn't realize phoebe did a cover of it. She added it to pay homage to him after he passed away in 2017.
PLEASEEE react to hit me hard and soft 😭 i have been waiting since the album dropped dude
watching this was so cathartic - this album was everything to me in 2017-2018 & still is. funeral is one of my all-time songs. so is scott street. so is motion sickness. this album is top to bottom perfection - the production, the vocals, the instrumentation, the LYRICS. what a debut. i loved watching your reactions because it so poignantly reminded me of what it was like to listen to this album for the first time - especially funeral. this album shatters your heart & pulls you in for a hug. it is both so specific & so universal. so glad you gave it a listen.
YOU NEED TO DO FOUND HEAVEN BY CONAN GRAY
he said he doesn't think he'll do that one
@@znekkk oh really? is there any particular reason?
@@Emily-kh9wi he didn't love the singles
FOR REAL I’VE BEEN WAITING 😭😭 if he doesn’t make one at least caitlin marie did a video on it cuz it makes me so happy :') definitely one of my favorite albums ever i love conan SO MUCH!!
I might need to buy the Patreon just for waiting room ngl that’s one of the best songs I’ve heard in my life
FINALLY!!! My favorite sad girl album ever
I know You Missed My Heart is a cover but damn her version is an INCREDIBLE MASTERPIECE. I’m so surprised hasn’t reacted to this album yet I’m so excited it’s amazing ❤Demi Moore? Georgia? Funeral????? LETS GOOOOOOO
oh god I am so ready for this
This album gives me such emotional flashback and I was so not okay when I was listening to this album, this song, on repeat in 2018/2019
im begging u to react to puberty 2 of mitski. actually her whole discography, anything 😭😭😭 just mitski plssss 😭😭😭
