He said he wrote the song inspired by the story of Amanda Kloots and Nick Cordeiro and what’s going on in the world. "I kind of wrote this song as if you were singing to your loved one who was in a hospital bed while the world was protesting outside. I did make a point to keep the song fairly ambiguous because I know everybody’s sort of going through different circumstances of the same things right now." - Finneas
This song was inspired by the BLM protests and also by Nick Cordero and Amanda Kloots. Nick died July 5th of complications from Covid-19. He was a healthy 41 year old broadway actor and musician with no underlying health issues. He battled the virus for 95 days, but ultimately it got the best of him. The ending of the song..when he says “And if you..don’t wake up I’ll know you tried to I wish you could see him He looks just like you” They have a son together. His name is Elvis..and he does look like his dad. It’s really sad. It sucks. I believe “we have the time to take the world and make it better than it ever was...that’s what they’ll say about us” is about the protests and how things need to change...and be made better.

Ohhhhh wow. I knew that end part had to be about someone, just wasn't sure if it was him saying it or someone else saying it. That is terribly sad. Thank you for clarifying
Suffi Reax yeah man.. If you look on Spotify or Apple Music, Nick has a song or two on there. He was also a musician. People were playing his song “live your life” every day while he was in the hospital. Even the staff that was taking care of him while he was there.
I know this is an older reaction, but if you haven't yet, the BTS making of this video is worth checkin out. This is one of those songs that I remember the first time I heard it, and it gets me teary eyed every single time. Finneas is so great
He plays the piano, guitar, and bass. Plus all the recording and production. Knowing the back story of this song breaks me. Just saw him in concert and cried through the whole song. He is so incredibly talented.
First time hearing Finneas. I really liked it, he has a soothing voice. It's not perfect, and that's what I liked the most. Beautiful lyrics about this world in 2020. Think about all the people who have lost their loved ones this year. It's surreal.❤

He literally writes, produces and songs all by himself . If you see the credits of almost every song of his , its just him only
Wow, impressive

He produces everything Billie does. He's the one who makes, plays and mixes the music - every sound effect and even her backing vocals.
Yea this has to be my all time favorite song by finneas. It was released in one of those nights and since then it's one of my comfort songs.

He's been an actor, so all the subtle or exaggerated expressions in the video are carefully thought-out.
Oh for real? Yeah those expressions, idk how to explain it but they really added something to the video and the singing
You should listen to his song LIFE MOVES ON . Its literally heaven and for a bop listen to the song SHELTER.
I second this!!!
Love FINNEAS, he’s so talented!
yess❤️❤️❤️ i love this song. just made a cover of it and the words are too deep ❤️❤️❣️
I lost a friend is a really sad one by him
Thanks for reacting! It’s so cool that you actually listen to recommendations 😄
Absolutely!
I know I can't make it to all of them but I certainly try for most :)
My favorite Finneas song is Break My Heart Again.
My first time listening with you to this song(like you intended). It is very pretty
He plays piano for Billie and sings in the background
Please react to “break my heart again” by him!
The song talk about
Husband and wife
The wife pass away while giving birth
my first thought was about someone on a ventilator (covid) and if they can wake up to see their newborn son
Amazing...!!
please react to FINNEAS - american cliché, its SO GOOD
Pls react to Matt Maeson start with hallucinogenics
Saddest song ever aaaaagh 😞
Hey man, you should react to James Blunt - Monster
There’s different way to see that
So is it about claudia his girlfriend or his sister (my lord) billie like idk
It’s about the BLM protests and one of his friends - there are some comments on this video that give more detail :)
