Don't feel odd. There's very few songs that I see skyrocket without me rolling my eyes, anticipating some noisy, crowded hurricane. This one just blows me away...completely. Get's me every time and it's one I will never forget. I'll be listening for decades and putting up there as one of those top ones that will be immortal, for sure.
I'm a 27-year-old man, I mostly listen to metal, and I've never seen a High School Musical movie or show, but when I first heard this song, I was instantly transported back to high school, reliving the feelings of my first heartbreak, and crying like a baby. It's like there was a devil on one shoulder telling me, "This is a corny song. You don't like pop. She's 17, singing about high school problems..." But then there was an angel on the other shoulder saying, "This is one of the best songs you've ever heard." I went through a roller coaster of emotions after I heard this song.
There's a hidden honest maturity in her voice and the lyrics that touches a lot of people whether they are aware of it or not. The younger generation long to feel kind of love she sings about and the older ones know the bittersweet emotions heart break brings. We are all human in the end and somehow I think this song subconsciously evokes certain feelings for a lot of people.This song is a great example of how music connects people. I'm happy she broke through all the other mainstream pop stuff going around these days. I want more from her and singers like her to come forward and hopefully add a little more diversity to popular music these days.
What is very touching about your reaction is that while you are trying to coolly comment on all the technical points, it is clear that you are very moved by Olivia’s performance. One can hear it in your voice.
So, I got the skinny on this song from my daughter who’s a huge HSM fan. She and her costar hit it off fantastically. She was seventeen and he was twenty one. They didn’t date and he said let’s wait till your eighteen. She turned eighteen and he immediately started dating another girl. Basically, sorry, I lied. She wrote this in response. Very touching.
Wow. Really nice review. 1) U caught the car's safety chime being speed up into the song tempo. When I 1st heard the song I thought it was really clever to do. It seems not many caught that. 2) U pointed out the grammar choices & how she used "street" & not "proper". I loved how she drops the F bomb in the bridge because in the end REAL always beats REFINED, especially when it comes to emotions. 3) U caught the unresolved piano chord at the end. I personally love unresolved song endings because they cause tension, & leave the listener wanting more. Last thing to add is u can clearly hear there's NO auto-tune on her vocals. It's all her pitch, which is so refreshing to hear in mainstream music. Consider me subscribed...
I know this is an old video. But I would love to see you do more Olivia Rodrigo songs. This young woman has evolved so much since this debut. Love her music so much!
WOW! You were saying all the accomplishments this song has had, and I was like how have I never heard of her or this song!!?? 45 seconds in I realize I'm not a teen/early twenties girl... That explains it.
I was thinking when she was listing the accomplishments that it's gonna be more of the same blah cookie-cutter crap put out by whoever Disney thinks should be popular; unfortunately, I wasn't wrong. =( There's more than 3 words in the song though - that's something at least...
@@RealRuler2112 You must have immaculate taste in music. Put a link to something you think would serve the people of the world better, something not so "cookie cutter" that has been released in 2021.
@@DenvarShay Released in 2021? Why not restrict it to February 3 - 5, 2021 by bands from the island of Crete? ;-) XD Let's see - albums I've heard released in the last 5 weeks that aren't a teenage girl bemoaning life sounding the same as every other teenage girl bemoaning life... Well, Storm Seeker put out a good album this year. I saw Korpiklaani released an album, but haven't listened to it yet; from their past work, I don't expect it to disappoint. Feskarn put out some enjoyable music on Raven's Way. Pretty sure Transatlantic's latest offering was released this year, but not 100% on that & am too lazy to look up to see if it fits your stipulation - though that does sound similar to their previous albums being pretty much pure prog metal. Dragony's last album was also very enjoyable. I know I've heard more that I've liked recently, but can't think of them at the moment. There are many bands/albums/songs from the past that are absolutely amazing, assuming you relax your 2021 release constraint. Epica, Sabaton, various Minniva covers, Orion's Reign, Iron Maiden, Iced Earth, Nightwish, Lordi, Corvus Corax, Timeless Miracle, Instanzia, Stratovarius, Helloween, Blind Guardian, Manowar, Stormwarrior, Turisas, Dragonforce, Powerwolf, Winterstorm, Therion, & Iron Mask are just some of those that pretty much never leave my work stereo - what I listen to depends on my mood. (I know there are more - I just can't remember the names... got a cheat-sheet printed out & hung on my wall. =) )
@@RealRuler2112 As someone who drummed for a metal band for 10+ years, played guitar for another, bass for another, I can appreciate your taste...but it illustrates why you're disappointed by another pop singing female. My playlist has Jazz, Country, 20 different subgenres of Metal, EDM, Pop, Classical, Blues, Rock...bit of everything. If I can connect to it emotionally, it's a good listen. I find this song to have a bit more emotion and feel than a lot of what's coming out right now, and to me that makes it good.
To go back to those times long ago, lol, one year, I love it when a phenomenon from the pop world slices into our bubble and in it's own way, blows our mind. I long for songs like this. It is perfect in every aspect, overpowers your emotions where you awe and weep at the same time. It pulls you back into your memory of loss and nostalgia. Such a milestone in the entire world of music. Rare indeed.
I record SNL and almost always fast forward through the musical guest. When she was on the first time, I knew nothing about her, but i stopped and watched her, absolutely blown away by her talent.
I so appreciate your explanation to what i am hearing and why it connects to my emotions.. I know i love a specific sound or emotion within a song and your insight in to why the artistry makes my skin tingle or my eye water a bit. Thanks so much
You just remind me so much of the character Elizabeth from Bioshock Infinite, guiding us through all these incredible songs with your amazing feel for the artists and the emotions. Thank you.
Excited to see this reaction. Beautiful song. I don’t care about the drama behind it cuz I’m 35 and don’t know who this girl is, her ex or the other girl. I know the story but don’t care lol. It’s a great song period.
@@Rosannasfriend lol....I'm 55. I used to sing years ago, but Bronchitis damaged both my lungs and vocal chords. I miss it so much, but still do a bit when I hear my old favorites.
i am sure i heard this played during closing credits of, probably, a netflix presentation. i did write down the song lyric and googled to find her and this song. now, of course, i can't seem to find what movie/show it was. amazing song, tearful lyrics [even for an old goat] fascinating voice!
My playlists on Spotify had grown a lot since I discovered your channel just a couple of weeks ago. Have been binging almost every vide and have discovered artists I never would have found otherwise. This one went straight on to my "Ballads" list.
You nailed it when talking about teenage heartache we've all gone through. This song is conversational and that makes it relatable(popular) to everyone. I can't not mention you make me smile every time you you use phrases like "I dig it"and "groovy". I didn't know they were still in the lexicon. Welcome back to the '60's. Yes I'm that old.
Band Maid, Band Maid, Band Maid, any song they do live ! World class musicians, song writers & the vocalists fit their music perfectly! Best rock band playing today. Thanks Liz❤🤗⚘
Elizabeth, I'm glad I was able to make it to a premiere, my work schedule is normally too busy to watch. The emotion of the song strikes a chord in me, and you know you like a song when your body responds to it. The bridge frankly gives me chills, as does her mixed belting. Hopefully we'll see some Hua Chenyu and "Child"; you told me once it was on your list due to requests. Us Martians hope so, I know you'll find his voice and production amazing.
Thank you for introducing me to this young artist. She definitely has a bright future. A reaction to Temple of the Dog's Hunger Strike would be awesome. I would love to hear your take on the collaboration of two of the most powerful voices of the grunge era.
Hi Elizabeth, I Loved this performance and your reaction & analysis! This is my first time listening to Olivia and she has an incredible voice and this was such a beautiful song! Thank You, Elizabeth!!! ❤
I got this song as a YT advert and listened to it all. Now it accompanies a workout routine video I do too. I usually like reedy, pitchy singers can't lie. I like the interesting way she sings "never felt this way for no one" the intonation on "no one" jus gets me. Looking fwd to hearing professional breakdown of it!
This is the first reaction video to this song where the person reacting actually acknowledges the car beeping sound at the beginning and how it changes into to the piano. I love that and was waiting for someone to notice it.
I appreciate your emotion/passion for singing and music. So I subscribed. I would really love to see you do a reaction/breakdown of halsey. The video of her live singing “without me” in The Lounge is good. She has such a distinct sound and I would love to hear your interpretation of it.
Hi Elizabeth! Just wanted to thank you for being my favorite source for new music and vocal breakdowns! This song tears at my heartstrings and it reminds me of another song. If you haven't heard it then it will be my small gift back to you. It is called Breathe by CUTTS and I would feel so blessed if you could tell me why it makes me cry EVERYTIME! lol Hope you have a great day and keep up the great work!
Hello lovely fans! If you're enjoying my reaction & analysis videos and learning more about music, I recommend checking out my Music Appreciation Course! This course deep dives into time signatures, tempo, pitch, dynamics, key, music production, and most of all, vocal registers! I guarantee it will make your music listening experience that much better. You can find the course on my website here: thecharismaticvoice.com/music-appreciation/
You're really smart. I learn a lot from you just from watching your reactions. You notice things that I don't notice too, so when you point em out, I'm just like "well I'll be damned, you're right, that sounds really good" lol.
Her emotion in the voice and riding that edge of breaking down really makes me think of Lara Fabian, and one tiny detail that I LOVE is the bum-bump of the kick drum in the bridge, around 15:10. It sounds like a heart, and with the long spaces in between beats evokes that feeling of a broken one, together with the cries she has in her singing. It's not my style but damn I can appreciate this. Excellent breakdown of how the production added to her voice, I've never listened to music that way, I usually zoom in on more detailed aspects of one instrument instead of the big whole! For recommendations: As always, Patty Gurdy, and especially her live version of her song "Run" at Lexington, or her one-take live version of Eurythmic's "Sweet Dreams". And Larkin Poe. Anything from their Tip o' the Hat cover series here on UA-cam, or their original song "Bleach Blonde Bottle Blues", especially the live version from their porch pickin' stream, starting at 4:15 ua-cam.com/video/mNKxZfJyzKQ/v-deo.html&ab_channel=LarkinPoe Rebecca has the most amazing rock-bluesy voice, and her sister Megan is the Queen of slide guitar and does some amazing harmonies to Rebecca. Their live, stripped-down duo performances really showcase their amazingness.
This song is a good driving song as you start listening to the lyrics you slowly realise the song is alot deeper then you initally though at one point you stop still and relate, who have not had a person in the early stage of growing up you see yourself with then things change, the part of growing up both positive and negative
Ah, now that we've ventured into pop music, I think you need to take a closer look at the Grammy nominees, and by Grammy nominees I mean Phoebe Bridgers. She took 2020 by storm with her second album "Punisher" and recently caused a bit of "stir" with her performance at Saturday Night Live. I recommend "Funeral", "Scott Street", and "I Know The End" for you to analyze. Thank you! 😁❤️
I really find your commentaries amazing. I would love to see your reaction about a Portuguese fado singer. Mariza - Gente da Minha Terra Live in Lisbon. Thank you and I look forward to see more videos!
Elizabeth after you check the video that Nuno mention in is comment and if you like the style, could you please check another Portuguese band Allamedah - Algema. Is a mix of Fado and Metal, I think you will liked a lot. Cheers
The moody blues “Tuesday Afternoon” at Red Rock please all sorts of awesome surprises in that song especially if you just listen without watching the video and then go back and watch it. It was shocking to me at least.
I really can't wait for you to hear and react to --The Death South--, "Honey you" is my fav song from their repertoire but "In hell I'll be in good company" is probably where new fans are made
Honey you is one of my favourites My mrs didnt really like them till she bought me tickets and saw them live.......omg more than impressed seen them twice now one of the best live acts we have seen Really do not miss them live if you get the chance
I had a headache before watching this, but the way you talk and the embodiment of kindness you naturally exude were like when your mom rubs your hair when you're a little kid, and now I'm cured 😂. I would've never listened to this song, but it's pretty groovy. Very nice as usual 😊
I'd love to see you react to the band Avatar. His voice has serious range and honestly he has to be one of the best vocalists in metal currently. I think you would enjoy them.
I always love your reactions, and thank you for reacting to this. I think you love Morissette’s cover to this song! David, Mori’s fiancée wanted to film a section of Mori and tell the fans what it’s like just be in her presence
Just so you know Her biggest influences are Lorde and Taylor Swift this is where she gets her song writing and story telling from also she’s only 17 going on 18 she said in a interview she has received many comments from other people in music like Billie Eilish , one direction , Taylor Swift that said she is proud of her and many more she has mentioned in different interviews
Cowpoke - Colter Wall I think he’s found his voice and this is where he’s most comfortable at. Huge difference compared to his first couple of records.
I still think a listen to Devil Wears a Suit and Tie solely for the reaction. RVA's reaction vid was excellent. But yes, Colter has evolved his voice and later works are very impressive. Elizabeth would do well to find some current county/western voices.
Hey, love your reactions! Wanna toss in a suggestion if I may? I know how much you love Einar's voice, and wanted to give you a heads up that Leprous released a new song in December. The song is called Castaway Angels and is absolutely stunning! Fun fact; recorded and shot just a skip and a hop from my home on the west coast of Norway 😊 also, a studio one take, only adding the backing vocals in post-production. Hope to hear your reaction to this soon!

❤ Here's Another Twist : I fell in love with YOU (Elizabeth) while I was watching you review Olivia 😂 .. You are so intelligent and your face expresses the same kind of "wear your heart on your sleeve" emotion, that you are explaining makes Olivia's vocal inflection create realism.... You seem to be an extremely attractive, talented, and intellectual lady... I'm smitten by you 😉 lol
I love your analysis on this music video. It's fun to see that you pick all those details but you made sure that you still enjoy the song and the feeling. I think you'd enjoy Melanie Martinez songs! I'd definitely love to watch some reactions about her.
Loved, loved, loooved your reaction! it's one of the best i've seen (and i've seen A LOT). It would be so great if you could check out more of Olivia. She wrote and performed both All I Want and Just For A Moment for the hsm show, and both are really great. She also has some really amazing covers, my favs are: River by joni mitchell and Edge of Glory by gaga. hope you have more olivia content coming soon!
Just found you and this reaction. Love it and your critique! I’ve been using more vocal critiques in the way I teach guitar students. Good on ya! Might I suggest you review Don Broco’s “One True Prince”. It’s a bit different from what you do; however, I think you will love it! Cheers!
I'm just curious what your thoughts are on the EXPLOSIVE RISE from Disney+ Actor (famous) to legit (GLOBAL ICON) artist that transcends from hype to legendary artist that will most likely go into the Library of Congress? Winning Grammies, AMA, Brit Award, Time Magazine, 60 Minutes, etc. It may to too soon to say, but she has the trajectory to speak next to names like Judy Garland, Julie Andrews, Joan Jett, Celion Dion, Mariah Carey, Lady Gaga, etc., somebody that influences an entire culture. It just boggles my mind that for most people, being the lead on a Disney+ show is the peak of their human experience, and yet with Ms. Olivia, Disney+ was just a stepping stone to being something more significant.
Please check out Kurt Hugo's version, just uploaded, even if in your own time, he uses those car sounds like you mentioned to produce most of the backing track 🥰 And of course Morissette's bare cover is also incredible!
Perfect example of a reflection made by the lyricist of all the songs in the film "The Wizard of Oz" (Yip Harburg) "Music makes you feel feelings" "Lyrics make you think thoughts" "Songs make you FEEL thoughts" What a brilliant Song!!
I don’t have a lot of specific memories about driving around with girls I’ve dated in the past, but I go driving to clear my head and think through whatever I happen to be dealing with at the time. So even though I don’t have those specific memories I do have memories of driving through certain areas while sorting through the shit in my head, so this song still hits me in a pretty profound way. It gets me emotional every time I hear it and it’s an absolutely superb song to listen to while you’re cruising around late at night. It’s gotta be a pretty humorous sight to see a guy in his early 30’s cruising late at night with this song booming over the stereo with the windows down while I’m singing along to it, like I do😂 I knew as soon as I heard it that this song was going on my late night cruising playlist, and it’s been there since. Excellent songwriting that’s relatable, and great singing from someone so young. Can’t give her enough credit for that.
I'm becoming more aware of songs' details and nuances and learning to better appreciate them just by watching your analysis! Great content as always! What about trying some brazilian stuff? Here are some random recommendations: -Ana Carolina - Garganta -Elis Regina - Como os Nossos Pais -Nelson Gonçalves - A Volta do Boemio -Alcione - Não Deixe o Samba Morrer -Ed Motta - Manoel -Chitãozinho e Xororó - Galopeira -Angra - Carry On
I think a few people have done it already but you should take a look at LiSA singing Gurenge on The First Take channel. Or her other performance, Homura. P.S. I don't know how I got your video as a suggestion on YT because I usually watch Meat Eater and Blacksmithing videos but I was legitimately entertained for 3 straight hours last night. Started with Disturbed and just kept clicking next. Keep doing what your doing. It is so cool to see someone with so much passion for their craft.
This song kinda reminds me of Maria Mena's music, it has the same semi-spoken quality with a lot of the vocals at the start of the song/verse, and the lyrics have the same kind of personal story-telling, that makes it compelling. I even think their voices are a bit alike as well.
We just released merchandise! Check out the full line-up here: thecharismaticmerch.com
I'm a grown man, 33 years old and this song makes me cry every single time... don't know why and honestly I don't care... It is just so beautiful...
Don't feel odd. There's very few songs that I see skyrocket without me rolling my eyes, anticipating some noisy, crowded hurricane. This one just blows me away...completely. Get's me every time and it's one I will never forget. I'll be listening for decades and putting up there as one of those top ones that will be immortal, for sure.

So true how different generations can relate in different ways!!!
The "ding ding" is actually the noise of opening the car door while the keys are in the ignition.
Yes. Exactly the sound my old Subaru makes when you open the door with the key in the ignition, but engine off.
On my car, it's the same sound for both; just with a different repeating pattern.
Got it!
Well, as a certified car technician. I can certifiably say that.
Discovered this song on Rick Beato’s UA-cam channel. I’m not normally a pop guy but this song just grabs me.

The analysis is premiering now, and your comment is an hour ago…
Thank you for trusting me on this selection, Kirby!
Holy moly, this song is so great. I'm a guy that listens to mostly hard rock metal...etc...
This song is beautiful.
First time seeing your reaction vid
Damn you reacted every detail of the song and I loved it!
Thank you, Rena! I try to hit on as much as I hear through my first listen (and honestly during our live premieres, hear more I should have caught.)
I got this song as a YT advert and listened to it all. Now it accompanies a workout routine video I do too. I usually like reedy, pitchy singers can't lie. I like the interesting way she sings "never felt this way for no one" the intonation on "no one" jus gets me. Looking fwd to hearing professional breakdown of it!
This is the first reaction video to this song where the person reacting actually acknowledges the car beeping sound at the beginning and how it changes into to the piano. I love that and was waiting for someone to notice it.
We've all been through it, and she delivers it so vulnerably.
I appreciate your emotion/passion for singing and music. So I subscribed. I would really love to see you do a reaction/breakdown of halsey. The video of her live singing “without me” in The Lounge is good. She has such a distinct sound and I would love to hear your interpretation of it.
I love your content! Never stop! :)
I feel like I hear so much more in a song when Elizabeth is examining it
Hi Elizabeth! Just wanted to thank you for being my favorite source for new music and vocal breakdowns! This song tears at my heartstrings and it reminds me of another song. If you haven't heard it then it will be my small gift back to you. It is called Breathe by CUTTS and I would feel so blessed if you could tell me why it makes me cry EVERYTIME! lol Hope you have a great day and keep up the great work!
One of the best bridges I’ve ever heard
Great analysis of a great song!
I love the way she says the word debuted
I missed the premiere this morning. Work called 😩 As usual, your video made my dull day a bright one. I bet Krakino was mesmerized by Olivia! ❤
Hi Juliette! Yes, Krakino was mesmerized by Olivia (aka, "Circe"). 😉
@@kirbys1370 Kirby! See you in the chat tomorrow morning ❤
Mesmerized!
Hello lovely fans! If you're enjoying my reaction & analysis videos and learning more about music, I recommend checking out my Music Appreciation Course! This course deep dives into time signatures, tempo, pitch, dynamics, key, music production, and most of all, vocal registers! I guarantee it will make your music listening experience that much better. You can find the course on my website here: thecharismaticvoice.com/music-appreciation/
ua-cam.com/video/UJXK_ToFS6I/v-deo.html here is this song in harmony. The queens of harmony 4TH Impact have taken this to a whole new level. Enjoy
You're really smart. I learn a lot from you just from watching your reactions. You notice things that I don't notice too, so when you point em out, I'm just like "well I'll be damned, you're right, that sounds really good" lol.
I love your reaction 😍 in details....❤️😌😌😌😌😌😌
Her emotion in the voice and riding that edge of breaking down really makes me think of Lara Fabian, and one tiny detail that I LOVE is the bum-bump of the kick drum in the bridge, around 15:10. It sounds like a heart, and with the long spaces in between beats evokes that feeling of a broken one, together with the cries she has in her singing. It's not my style but damn I can appreciate this. Excellent breakdown of how the production added to her voice, I've never listened to music that way, I usually zoom in on more detailed aspects of one instrument instead of the big whole!
For recommendations:
As always, Patty Gurdy, and especially her live version of her song "Run" at Lexington, or her one-take live version of Eurythmic's "Sweet Dreams".
And Larkin Poe. Anything from their Tip o' the Hat cover series here on UA-cam, or their original song "Bleach Blonde Bottle Blues", especially the live version from their porch pickin' stream, starting at 4:15 ua-cam.com/video/mNKxZfJyzKQ/v-deo.html&ab_channel=LarkinPoe Rebecca has the most amazing rock-bluesy voice, and her sister Megan is the Queen of slide guitar and does some amazing harmonies to Rebecca. Their live, stripped-down duo performances really showcase their amazingness.
You should do “holy diver” as performed by killswitch engage! Howard’s voice is incredible
Today I was listening to “Time” by Wintersun and I thought, The Charismatic Voice needs to hear this!
This song is a good driving song as you start listening to the lyrics you slowly realise the song is alot deeper then you initally though at one point you stop still and relate, who have not had a person in the early stage of growing up you see yourself with then things change, the part of growing up both positive and negative
You can literally hear all five stages of grief in this song.
Totally nailed it on the analysis of the ending.
Thanks James!
Ah, now that we've ventured into pop music, I think you need to take a closer look at the Grammy nominees, and by Grammy nominees I mean Phoebe Bridgers. She took 2020 by storm with her second album "Punisher" and recently caused a bit of "stir" with her performance at Saturday Night Live. I recommend "Funeral", "Scott Street", and "I Know The End" for you to analyze. Thank you! 😁❤️
I really find your commentaries amazing. I would love to see your reaction about a Portuguese fado singer. Mariza - Gente da Minha Terra Live in Lisbon. Thank you and I look forward to see more videos!
Elizabeth after you check the video that Nuno mention in is comment and if you like the style, could you please check another Portuguese band Allamedah - Algema. Is a mix of Fado and Metal, I think you will liked a lot. Cheers
2 things. I love this song but I love this song more when you break it down as you did with unchained melody. Thank you.
The moody blues “Tuesday Afternoon” at Red Rock please all sorts of awesome surprises in that song especially if you just listen without watching the video and then go back and watch it. It was shocking to me at least.
I really can't wait for you to hear and react to --The Death South--, "Honey you" is my fav song from their repertoire but "In hell I'll be in good company" is probably where new fans are made
Hell yes!
Honey you is one of my favourites
My mrs didnt really like them till she bought me tickets and saw them live.......omg more than impressed seen them twice now one of the best live acts we have seen
Really do not miss them live if you get the chance
I had a headache before watching this, but the way you talk and the embodiment of kindness you naturally exude were like when your mom rubs your hair when you're a little kid, and now I'm cured 😂. I would've never listened to this song, but it's pretty groovy. Very nice as usual 😊
Would love to see you do Opeth - Faith in Others if you haven’t already. Makes me emotional every time I listen to it and his voice is incredible
I'd love to see you react to the band Avatar. His voice has serious range and honestly he has to be one of the best vocalists in metal currently. I think you would enjoy them.
I always love your reactions, and thank you for reacting to this. I think you love Morissette’s cover to this song! David, Mori’s fiancée wanted to film a section of Mori and tell the fans what it’s like just be in her presence
love the way you are.. 😎
Just so you know Her biggest influences are Lorde and Taylor Swift this is where she gets her song writing and story telling from also she’s only 17 going on 18 she said in a interview she has received many comments from other people in music like Billie Eilish , one direction , Taylor Swift that said she is proud of her and many more she has mentioned in different interviews
K.D. Lang - Hallelujah live at the 2005 Juno Awards
Cowpoke - Colter Wall I think he’s found his voice and this is where he’s most comfortable at. Huge difference compared to his first couple of records.
I still think a listen to Devil Wears a Suit and Tie solely for the reaction. RVA's reaction vid was excellent. But yes, Colter has evolved his voice and later works are very impressive. Elizabeth would do well to find some current county/western voices.
Hey, love your reactions!
Wanna toss in a suggestion if I may? I know how much you love Einar's voice, and wanted to give you a heads up that Leprous released a new song in December. The song is called Castaway Angels and is absolutely stunning!
Fun fact; recorded and shot just a skip and a hop from my home on the west coast of Norway 😊 also, a studio one take, only adding the backing vocals in post-production.
Hope to hear your reaction to this soon!
Here's the link

Alter Bridge “Blackbird “ live from Amsterdam
Yesss Olivia Rodrigo did this on Jimmy Fallon, totally listen to it!
I would love to watch your reaction to Chris Cornells' version of "Nothing Compares 2U". Bring tissues...
Once again into the fray with my request . The HU A song for Women feat Lzzy Hale
pretty sure she already did that one
@@JCrook1028Elizabeth has done Wolf totem by the HU and a Halestorm song but not the collaboration.
Please do the live version!

❤ Here's Another Twist : I fell in love with YOU (Elizabeth) while I was watching you review Olivia 😂 .. You are so intelligent and your face expresses the same kind of "wear your heart on your sleeve" emotion, that you are explaining makes Olivia's vocal inflection create realism.... You seem to be an extremely attractive, talented, and intellectual lady... I'm smitten by you 😉 lol
I love your analysis on this music video. It's fun to see that you pick all those details but you made sure that you still enjoy the song and the feeling. I think you'd enjoy Melanie Martinez songs! I'd definitely love to watch some reactions about her.
Nice.
Loved, loved, loooved your reaction! it's one of the best i've seen (and i've seen A LOT). It would be so great if you could check out more of Olivia. She wrote and performed both All I Want and Just For A Moment for the hsm show, and both are really great. She also has some really amazing covers, my favs are: River by joni mitchell and Edge of Glory by gaga. hope you have more olivia content coming soon!
I am hoping this video does well so I can look at more of her discography!
Just found you and this reaction. Love it and your critique! I’ve been using more vocal critiques in the way I teach guitar students. Good on ya!
Might I suggest you review Don Broco’s “One True Prince”. It’s a bit different from what you do; however, I think you will love it! Cheers!
I'm just curious what your thoughts are on the EXPLOSIVE RISE from Disney+ Actor (famous) to legit (GLOBAL ICON) artist that transcends from hype to legendary artist that will most likely go into the Library of Congress? Winning Grammies, AMA, Brit Award, Time Magazine, 60 Minutes, etc. It may to too soon to say, but she has the trajectory to speak next to names like Judy Garland, Julie Andrews, Joan Jett, Celion Dion, Mariah Carey, Lady Gaga, etc., somebody that influences an entire culture. It just boggles my mind that for most people, being the lead on a Disney+ show is the peak of their human experience, and yet with Ms. Olivia, Disney+ was just a stepping stone to being something more significant.
Please check out Kurt Hugo's version, just uploaded, even if in your own time, he uses those car sounds like you mentioned to produce most of the backing track 🥰
And of course Morissette's bare cover is also incredible!
Perfect example of a reflection made by the lyricist of all the songs in the film "The Wizard of Oz" (Yip Harburg)
"Music makes you feel feelings"
"Lyrics make you think thoughts"
"Songs make you FEEL thoughts"
What a brilliant Song!!
I don’t have a lot of specific memories about driving around with girls I’ve dated in the past, but I go driving to clear my head and think through whatever I happen to be dealing with at the time. So even though I don’t have those specific memories I do have memories of driving through certain areas while sorting through the shit in my head, so this song still hits me in a pretty profound way. It gets me emotional every time I hear it and it’s an absolutely superb song to listen to while you’re cruising around late at night. It’s gotta be a pretty humorous sight to see a guy in his early 30’s cruising late at night with this song booming over the stereo with the windows down while I’m singing along to it, like I do😂
I knew as soon as I heard it that this song was going on my late night cruising playlist, and it’s been there since. Excellent songwriting that’s relatable, and great singing from someone so young. Can’t give her enough credit for that.
The Rock Cover of "our last night" is epic and an amazing different approach to the lyrics ^^
You should also do “Nose to the Grindstone” by Tyler Childers
Art of Noise, what a mainstay for me at the end of house parties around the pool
I'm becoming more aware of songs' details and nuances and learning to better appreciate them just by watching your analysis! Great content as always!
What about trying some brazilian stuff? Here are some random recommendations:
-Ana Carolina - Garganta
-Elis Regina - Como os Nossos Pais
-Nelson Gonçalves - A Volta do Boemio
-Alcione - Não Deixe o Samba Morrer
-Ed Motta - Manoel
-Chitãozinho e Xororó - Galopeira
-Angra - Carry On
I think a few people have done it already but you should take a look at LiSA singing Gurenge on The First Take channel. Or her other performance, Homura.
P.S. I don't know how I got your video as a suggestion on YT because I usually watch Meat Eater and Blacksmithing videos but I was legitimately entertained for 3 straight hours last night. Started with Disturbed and just kept clicking next. Keep doing what your doing. It is so cool to see someone with so much passion for their craft.
This song kinda reminds me of Maria Mena's music, it has the same semi-spoken quality with a lot of the vocals at the start of the song/verse, and the lyrics have the same kind of personal story-telling, that makes it compelling. I even think their voices are a bit alike as well.
You should take a look at Float or The Last Serenade by Flogging Molly
