She's said it in multiple interviews, Bunny is a Rider is about this power you feel when you deliberately make yourself not available (for social activities, relationships, etc.)
yes, but she's also said that most of the lyrics are just a vibe and she's just saying stuff that sound good even if they don't make sense. haha a queen.
And Enya, too! Especially in the more laid back tracks (Go As A Dream). To me, that's the third vertex to the "Caroline inspiration triangle". But of course she brings her own new feeling to it all. Personally I finally got into her music in 2022 thanks to her appearance in Charli XCX's CRASH. Started with Door, got hooked straight away, and I can't stop...
This album has unreal production, songwriting and technical performance. Really crazy how advanced pop music can get in today's age. This record feels like alien technology to me.
saw her live twice this weekend and what's insane is she's able to hit all of these crazy high notes and vocal runs with no backing track! truly such a talented musician!
To answer your question on the meaning of bunny is a rider. She said on Charli XCX’s podcast that Bunny is anyone who is booked, blessed and busy. Someone who never looks at their phone because they are always somewhere doing something at all hours of the day. Like a fugitive on the run, bunny never contacts anyone. No one can ever get hold of them.
I have literally no idea what you're talking about most of the time, but I want to know. I find this so so interesting and Caroline deserves her amazing music to be studied and understood in this way. Her music is so special, its very beautiful to understand (or try to) what makes it so. Thank you ❤
My favorite keeps changing, went from Butterfly Net to I Believe to Blood and Butter. Here’s the thing…I’m a 72 year old man, raised on Jefferson Airplane, CCR, lots of old soul, and ultimately, Little Feat. I’ve never heard anything like Ms P. I’m obsessed, listening to Chairlift, Ramona Lisa, Pang, and now Desire. Saw her in Chicago, so creative and dynamic. Love that she’s now popping up on stage with Weyes Blood and Lorde.
i'm enjoying every minute of this reaction. your breakdown of "I Believe" is amazing, it could totally be a standalone video. keep doing these reactions, please!
the production and songwriting in this album is unreal!!! my favorite thing is when she repeats melodies or production bits in different songs… like easter eggs that connect the album. Pretty In Possible and Smoke in the “Dadadada” melody as well as the “Elijah!” Grimes melody in Fly to You being the same as the bagpipe in Blood and Butter and the Bunny Is a Rider whistle towards the end of I Believe.
This woman,😮 I have played this album so much I feel like I was in the studio with her.one of the 2000s top 50 albums and most moving.Fly to you is already a standard.and grimes and dido on same track..her former band Chairlift is great also..great reaction,KENT IN OHIO.
thank u so much for this reaction!! we appreciate all the effort🤍 here are some albums that you would love :) -Melodrama by Lorde -Titanic Rising by Weyes Blood thank you!!!
I think bunny is kind of explained by themselves refering to Alice in the second verse... It's the rabbit, always on the run...always a rider but so non physical...
First video I've seen of yours, and full album gang! I think this is gonna be an all-time album for me tbh, loved having it -actually- analyzed and examined. A lot of other react channels tend to be either purely masturbatory (which is nice every once in a while) or purely slapstick, so this was very refreshing and engaging.
@@freezingpoints 1. Does This Inspire You (2008) 2. Something (2012) 3. Arcadia (2014) 4. Moth (2016) 5. Drawing The Target Around The Arrow (2017) 6. Pang (2019) 7. Desire I Want to Turn Into You (2023) 1, 2 and 4 are from her in Chairlift, and 5. is an ambient album. So 3 solo albums with vocals.
I'm addicted to watching people be jumpscared by the bagpipes in Blood and Butter. Cannot get enough of this woman just stunting all over this album in a completely humble and impressive way, was lucky to catch her live this year and can confirm she DELIVERS. What you hear on the album is what you get face-to-face, an absolute consummate professional. Really appreciate your breakdown, and as an aussie I am stoked to hear an accent like mine in this space Personal fav tracks gotta be Blood & Butter, Smoke and Pretty In Possible
Rumba flamenco is an actual style which is maybe what you were thinking of with that type of guitar strumming, which is a mix of the two, though I would say the track is not straight up that style but inspired by it. She recorded a lot of the album in Barcelona so it makes sense that that people would automatically say flamenco. The guitar on the recorded track is very synthy sounding, but when they play it live, they use a real Spanish nylon guitar which actually sounds a lot better and natural.
She also writes w a lot of intention and all the songs are used to build a very chaotic narrative. There’s a lot to analyze there I would love to hear what you have to say about it
Love this album and your reaction. I would recommend you to listen to (BTS) RM's debut album INDIGO which has beautiful instrumentations and great lyrical content. The album features heavy weight artists like Erykah Badu & Anderson Paak. 😊
Interestingly enough, nobody needs to be told why a great song is great. We instinctively know because it has good hooks (we can all identify the hook) and makes interesting points or has good structure. What we REALLY need from this channel is to see YOUR songs, and why and how you wrote them. Even if it is just guitar and vocals, a good song will slap no matter what. Again- less reaction to things we already know and can tell you before you say it, more in-depth teaching of techniques to dive and listen for the best melodies/hooks.
She's said it in multiple interviews, Bunny is a Rider is about this power you feel when you deliberately make yourself not available (for social activities, relationships, etc.)
yes, but she's also said that most of the lyrics are just a vibe and she's just saying stuff that sound good even if they don't make sense. haha a queen.
She’s unlike anyone I’ve ever heard
she's unlike anyone that ever existed.
imogen heap is the closest, a pioneer in this sound in my opinion. check out details by frou frou its very maximalist like desire
Sounds like a young Kate Bush
Def Kate Bush and Imogen Heap vibes but that's a huge compliment.
And Enya, too! Especially in the more laid back tracks (Go As A Dream). To me, that's the third vertex to the "Caroline inspiration triangle". But of course she brings her own new feeling to it all. Personally I finally got into her music in 2022 thanks to her appearance in Charli XCX's CRASH. Started with Door, got hooked straight away, and I can't stop...
I was so worried the second album wouldn't be as good as the first but she blew me away
its so much better LOL
Billions is my favorite song. That song just changed my idea of pop music.
This album has unreal production, songwriting and technical performance. Really crazy how advanced pop music can get in today's age. This record feels like alien technology to me.
saw her live twice this weekend and what's insane is she's able to hit all of these crazy high notes and vocal runs with no backing track! truly such a talented musician!

hour and a half of this man falling in love with caroline polachek
Listen to her opera track “Non Voglio..” she goes way beyond C6. She literally sounds like a violin.
Why does nobody talk about her hitting that note it's literally the highest she's ever gone and nobody talks about the track 😢
I read it was F6! Not super well versed on vocal ranges but I saw that on a forum somewhere.
It’s definitely F#6
That note on I Believe gives me chills every time… honestly I could say that about a lot of points on this album lol but that one always stands out
I have literally no idea what you're talking about most of the time, but I want to know. I find this so so interesting and Caroline deserves her amazing music to be studied and understood in this way. Her music is so special, its very beautiful to understand (or try to) what makes it so.
Thank you ❤
I love learning about all the music theory and production intricacies from you! Your channel is underrated
I love that you love Grimes and even mentioned Miss Anthropocene!
And of course Sunset is indeed the best song in the album.
I enjoy all the songs but must admit... Sunset is my least favourite, haha
Sunset is amazing but I’d say my personal fave is blood and butter🩸🧈
@@riggamorrischan I really love Crude Drawing of an Angel and Hopedrunk Everasking

Nice one glad you did this one your Pang review was 10/10

Incredible video. Good work on the harmonic breakdowns. Thank you so much.
i been looking forward to your reaction video since this album came out😍
YOOO I WAS WAITING FOR THIS
the production and songwriting in this album is unreal!!!
my favorite thing is when she repeats melodies or production bits in different songs… like easter eggs that connect the album.
Pretty In Possible and Smoke in the “Dadadada” melody as well as the “Elijah!”
Grimes melody in Fly to You being the same as the bagpipe in Blood and Butter
and the Bunny Is a Rider whistle towards the end of I Believe.
Yeah love the use of leitmotifs, something that you really don't hear a lot of in pop music.

-Melodrama by Lorde

thank you!!!
Bunny is when we are someone who is untouchable, unreachable, a wisp of smoke
Yessssss, i've been waiting for your reaction to this, thank you!
i would love you to hear how i’m feeling now, charli, and/or pop 2 by charli xcx for sure!!
Yes charli analysis please
I think bunny is kind of explained by themselves refering to Alice in the second verse... It's the rabbit, always on the run...always a rider but so non physical...
Her voice is very unique. Nowadays you have to bring something extra and different to make it.
amazing reaction as always

A lot of other react channels tend to be either purely masturbatory (which is nice every once in a while) or purely slapstick, so this was very refreshing and engaging.
this is actually her third album, as her previous artist name was ramona lisa. her first album was arcadia and not many people know this.
Well if we're talking technicalities its her fourth isn't it?
@@freezingpoints
1. Does This Inspire You (2008)
2. Something (2012)
3. Arcadia (2014)
4. Moth (2016)
5. Drawing The Target Around The Arrow (2017)
6. Pang (2019)
7. Desire I Want to Turn Into You (2023)
1, 2 and 4 are from her in Chairlift, and 5. is an ambient album.
So 3 solo albums with vocals.
Ramona Lisa was a side project, we don't really count that in her self titled discography just like Chairlift
I hope Caroline watches your video. Definitely my favorite album of this year so far. Great reaction/review!
Sunset = “Ugh! Yuhhhh!” Exactly. My thoughts exactly. 👏🏻🏆🔥😮💨
Bunny, Sunset und I Believe are the holy trinity of this album to me
Love your content
This will be interesting ❤ really loooooove this album
I'm addicted to watching people be jumpscared by the bagpipes in Blood and Butter. Cannot get enough of this woman just stunting all over this album in a completely humble and impressive way, was lucky to catch her live this year and can confirm she DELIVERS.

Personal fav tracks gotta be Blood & Butter, Smoke and Pretty In Possible
i love how billions kind of goes back into pang, as if her creations are infinite and overlapping despite instrumentally paving different paths
Bunny is a rider for me is a song about the euphoric feeling of total and complete independence (specifically existing as an independent woman)
Sunset sounds more like a rumba than a flamenco to me. Im sure someone from Spain can clarify.
Rumba flamenco is an actual style which is maybe what you were thinking of with that type of guitar strumming, which is a mix of the two, though I would say the track is not straight up that style but inspired by it. She recorded a lot of the album in Barcelona so it makes sense that that people would automatically say flamenco. The guitar on the recorded track is very synthy sounding, but when they play it live, they use a real Spanish nylon guitar which actually sounds a lot better and natural.
Yessssss great album
Pleeeeeeeeeeease do motomami by rosalia
She also writes w a lot of intention and all the songs are used to build a very chaotic narrative. There’s a lot to analyze there I would love to hear what you have to say about it
Im nodding like I understand every musical terms he was saying 😂
Please make for the new lana del rey album!
Reac to grimes
Wow, a PRO Songwriter, not just some regular old Songwriter like Dylan, Bush or Bowie. A real PRO! Finally!!!😀😀
Cool video, though.😀
Plsss react to Lana’s new album!
Love this album and your reaction. I would recommend you to listen to (BTS) RM's debut album INDIGO which has beautiful instrumentations and great lyrical content. The album features heavy weight artists like Erykah Badu & Anderson Paak. 😊
