Bill, I'm just really happy, you care about these type of things, people who suffer from mental illness, domestic abuse, suicide. It just feels like you care (which I know you do :)
Ana is as far as I know both a shorter way to say anorexia and a way people use to personify the disorder. I am however not very knowledgeable in this so correct me if I’m wrong.
My dude, I highly suggest you listen to their song "Family", if you want to hear another one of their songs that aren't as sad/dark. It's honestly one of my personal favourites as it kinda gives me 'found family' vibes.
i never realized the lyrics to some of these songs were so dark because when ever i listen to mother mother my brain immediately shuts off and i just vibe
English is a second language for me, so its always a surprise to only have a general idea of what the song is about and going look for the lyrics and getting hit by a train of what it says Specifically
I understand that, as a personal thing, I like the fucked up vibe to it, I connect with a lot of their music (which doesn't sound good, but I do have a therapist, I am getting help!) But I enjoy all of their music, I vibe with a lot of them so yeah! I sometimes shut off the lyrics and vibe!
literally my reaction. I was like "is he playing it up?" Then I realized not alot of people are so used to songs about people dying. I love this guy tho. He's so wholesome
@@thethirdbill I’m so glad you finally listened to them though. Body is still probably my favorite after all this time, probably bc of how vague it is and my problematic thoughts in relation to my own. Really glad you liked Verbatim as well, it’s such a good one. I’m very fond of one called Arms Tonight, but it’s a heavy one. Much love. ❤️
mother mother has been jokingly tied to gender identity like "girl in red" relates to lesbians and "sweater weather" to bi people. so when you got to 'body' and were taking it apart i think your analysis was a very good one on the gender front
“It’s Alright” Just gotta be sure to listen to Dance & Cry. Mother Mother does make sure to cover ALL the emotions……doesn’t lesson the concern for other fans.
"Body" spoke to me because I'm trans, and "Back In School" spoke to me because I have learning disabilities. Then "Hayloft"... *Not gonna lie, everyone loves "Hayloft" just because.*

You should listen to Penelope Scot!! Songs: Rät, Sweet Hibiscus Tea, Lotta True Crime, Born2Run, and American Healthcare. Thank you for making videos!!
For me, watching how a 'normal' person reacts to these types of songs is almost a shock. For me, I have suffered from depression and severe anger issues as a child left me emotionally hollow for th most part so when I can see how Bill becomes concerned and is hit hard by the lyrics of the songs that my first reaction was "Oh this is neat." The first song from mother mother that truly hit me was 'Ghosting'. The way it describes the feeling of wanting to disappear, to no long exist and fades into the void really connected to me.
I get what you mean, hearing someone else's reaction that's so different from mine is very shocking. I never found the lyrics to their songs super upsetting, just because I guess it was super relatable for me in a way that was comforting in my darkest times. These songs were like a coping mechanism for me.
Same, songs like Body didn't shock me because well, those were exactly my thoughts but with music. So listening to him saying things like _"I'm concerned"_ and seeing him crying is weird lol
I was like "oh no he needs to listen to Its Alright after all the other ones" and I'm so glad you did--- Mother Mother songs are just so *raw*, like lyrically and musically the songs just feel like someone's soul being bared to you. Like the friend you can talk to about all of the darkest sh*it. When I was younger they resonated with me, how raw and unformed and intense my emotions were and often still are, because I felt entirely seen. I still love their music, though I'm maybe a little less intensely emotional than I was in middle/high school, and it's nice to have some of their songs now be more like... healthy??? I mean not that the other ones were unhealthy, but stuff like "Its Alright" just feels like coming out of a long dark space and letting yourself heal. They're just... so good.
I never clicked so fast ! More seriously about "Body" I know a lot of trans people are like "yup dysphoria" and other are like "yup dysmorphia" but as a transgender and disabled guy I always saw it as medical. Every inch of my body hurt and whenever I'm in a bad day I listen to it with the urge to just get rid of my body because I see it as "useless". I'm lucky that it works, that I've never been amputated or anything but when my brain can't process light and sounds and I have to use my wheelchair to go everywhere and sometimes I just can't go outside at all, I really feel "heavy". You know you just feel like without a body you would be at the same level as everyone else and it's soooo frustrating that it's "getting in the way". So I'm happy that you talked about the medical side of it because I thought I was the only one thinking it in the corner you know XD
Same and also i am plus sized and disabled and so I've always just felt in the way and that if my body wasnt they was it was then i would be happy. But slowly I'm realizing that my body is trying it's best to let me be alive but it's difficult. Body helps me cope with every bad feeling towards my body
Same! I'm chronically ill and Body is my theme song when I'm having a flare, like this body SUCKS can I return it for one that doesnt hurt all the time!?
Hayloft has the same energy as Pumped Up Kicks for me. Absolutely amazing vocals, beats and pitches, but when you listen to the words, you gotta take a minute to let the lyrics sink in. It's almost a blessing and a curse. Just beautifully concerning.
Hey, just remember you never have to push yourself for us! You need to take care of yourself and everyone here will understand and support if you don't want to continue with some heavy artist. We really appreciate how much you listen to our requests already and we'll be fine if you don't want to do something!
So we Mother Mother fans are all desensitized???? Is that why I didn't question the lyrics??? I thought we were just vibing??? Hello??? Are we okay??? DaMn
@@ubeyelliott6348 I don't know, I don't want to assume that just because someone listens to dark music, that they're unstable. I've had people use that against me, and other people I know. "Oh, because you don't listen to happy music, it's making you depressed! It's your fault," essentially. But... I think I can at least say for myself that these kinds of raw portrayals of feelings I personally have had makes it not seem so jarring for me- I just know I've already felt like this, so the lyrics just don't hit as hard. It feels more like someone kind of understands me. Even if one of the songs isn't something I personally relate to, the feeling still seems raw and real.
A hayloft is the top of the barn. It's a common like, small farming community trope to sleep with the farmer's daughter and get chased away, him holding a shotgun and taking potshots. I don't know if there's anything important subtextually in that song.
his eyes lighting up when he hears "what defines a straight man straight" djasdsk MOOD. that was also the moment where i thought OH, i VIBE with this song, such a good message
Honestly, as a chronically ill nonbinary person, Body just hits different. It’s heavy for sure, but I’m glad a song like that exists for people who need it.
My favourite Monther Mother songs not included here are: -Ghosting -Angry Sea -All Gone -Bottom is a Rock -Wreaking Ball -O My Heart -Legs Away -Wisdom
please do glass animals! here are some suggestions: - the other side of paradise - pork soda - dreamland - take a slice - tangerine - walla walla - tokyo drifting - space ghost coast to coast
& the obligatory heat waves mention (i’m sorry but it’s a banger) that being said bill if you see this and you’re looking for the best of the best even though heat waves is probably their biggest right now i would go for the other side of paradise, dreamland and take a slice :)
me, who bops to Mother Mother without second thought listening to him talk about how the lyrics were sad and serious and upsetting: ... am i insensitive? i just heard "alright so next is 'Body'" and went oh boy
Please please dont push yourself!! If listening to these types of songs gets you really stressed please please take a break or rest dont worry we’ll wait!
Mother mother has a lot of feeling for people who have been repeatedly damaged. There are times I have a god complex due to suddenly bad things not happening for the first time so like Oh Ana. Lots of these songs fit just for people who are often beaten down or ostracized. So for me I was often abused I'm also trans and Body by mother monther was the first song to put into words the feeling but also the body issues I got from other mental issues as well. It helps word situations most people without pain might not completely understand. It's a feeling of drownding alone but listening to their music your trying not to drowned together. It's dark definitely and I don't need it all the time but sometimes I need it to get out of the cumbersome feelings and situations they talk about.
So glad to see “it’s alright” was on here, it’s the main one I hoped you’d react to. I also recommend “the stand”, “ghosting”, “family” and “get up” (all some of my faves, some might make you sad but all of them rock)
please do trying to stan Penelope Scott. here are some songs: - moonsickness - mommy fwiend (tw for mentions of suicide) - born2run - rät - feel better - dumpster edit: i forgot it earlier but lotta true crime is also really good
Trying to Stan Jack Stauber: - Oh Klahoma - The Ballad of Hamantha - Baby Hotline - Buttercup - Two Time - Choice - Dinner Is Not Over - Pick A Flower - Beird edit: ive already added alot of songs so i wont put anymore but thank you much for all the likes! i really appreciate it!
Hey Bill, you seem like you’re going through a rough time. You’re probs not gonna see this, but in the off chance you do. You are a wonderful person and you deserve great things. You seem so kind and caring and genuine in your videos, that’s what drew me to watching them. I really hope you’re getting the help you need right now. I care about you bro, have a lovely day and a fantastic year.
Thank you very much for this. I'm doing my best, and i appreciate you taking the time to send kindness and support! i hope you and yours are safe and well! :')
I have a suggestion if that's ok, it's for a guy called Cosmo Sheldrake, he's not that sad but he's very interesting as an artist! some of his songs include: Come Along Birthday Suit The Moss Pelicans We Axolotl Egg and Soldiers Solar Waltz (just to name a few)
you should do trying to stan Ricky Montgomery, some good songs from him are Mr Loverman, Line Without A Hook, This December and My Heart Is Buried In Venice
I’ve been a fan for a while, so here’s a few suggestions lol Mother Mother- Calm Me Down Ghosting Oleander Little Pistol Dirty Town Family Lemon Demon- Cabinet Man Touch-Tone Telephone Jaws Brodyquest Redesign Your Logo A Mask Of My Own Face Two Trucks Eighth Wonder
Tbh, I like mother mother so much because their music feels so chaotic and angry. The lyrics are really heavy and in a way that makes me feel understood. Like, I've become so numb to certain things and feelings and it's just nice to kinda let go by listening to this and singing along to songs that are so blunt and brutal. But I see how upsetting this must be to someone who connects with this on a different level. Especially someone like you who cares so deeply about things. :(
TW: Self harm as a person who used to self harm, Oh Anna really does describe that struggle for me a lot, and is honestly the best representation of what its like that I've found. Not a lot of people know that self harm is an addiction for most people and believe that just saying to stop will make the person stop, which really harms the other person when they get mad that they didn't. During that time I would feel like I was a disappointment and constantly thought about how it would affect my loved ones but couldn't fully stop doing it. Even after I thought I stopped, I found myself hitting my head into walls when I become overwhelmed with emotions, a habit that I am still combatting to this day.
Penelope Scott is a great up and coming artist that you might enjoy! She has really great lyrics and all of her songs are _bops._ Some of my favorites of hers are: - Cigarette Ahegao - Rät - Born2Run (I prefer the shorter version that was originally released on tiktok personally, but yknow) - Sweet Hibiscus Tea - Lotta True Crime - American Healthcare
bill : "the next song is titled It's Alright" me: (loud gasp) oh gosh this is the song he needed but CRY. HE'S GONNA CRY. LIKE WE ALL DID. (a few seconds later) bill : (teary) "oh god" me : YES. CRY. *evil laughter followed with sobs*
when it started talking about nose and eyes in body, it also tapped into my internal racism, i've hated my features for quite a while because because i didn't meet caucasian beauty standards and it was drilled into my mind as a child because that was all the media i consumed, western media
As someone who has liked Mother Mother for about 6 years now, it's crazy to me that they are getting popular now! Edit: If anyone new to MM is reading this, I hope you like them!! (Also Very Good Bad Thing isn't on Spotify so I advise you to listen to the album here on RUclips since it's so good!!)
Honestly whenever I heard they were getting big on tik tok it made me so happy that other people could get into the band they're music is so good and just raw
Same!! I have been listening to mother mother for about 6 years now, it’s kinda crazy to see them getting more popular now. I love their music so much though
You should so totally do Penelope Scott, she has some really good music that o definitely think it would be interesting to see your reaction to. -cigarette ahegao -born2run -mommy friend -feel better -moon sickness -rat -sweet hibiscus tea -Montreal -lukewarm -American healthcare
I love how Bill interprets music and what lyrics mean Like a lot of the things he says in all his videos on the music he's listening to are things I never would have thought of or realised and they help me better understand why I actually like the music and help me connect better with the artist and the emotion they put into their music. Here's to another year of trying to stan
@@microwave._. Did they come out and say something or is it your opinion? I hadn't heard anything about that before so I wanted to know if it was a J.K. Rowling thing were she just randomly said it.
i love mother mother!! super cool video. if you decide to do a part two i definitely recommend - ghosting - burning pile - wrecking ball - arms tonite - problems but honestly all their songs are amazing :)
for the people that are pretty new to Mother Mother, here are some more ‘underrated’ songs: -The Stand -Lets Fall in Love -Problems -Businessman -Infinitesimal -Legs Away -Family (lemme know if i have to add more)
I'd suggest trying to stan Cosmo Shelldrake! I promise its not sad, and his music is super unique :) Some of my fav songs of his are: -the moss -come along -tardigrade song - solar waltz - egg and soldier -wriggle -beetroot kvass I hope you have a great 2021!
I've been waiting for this one! As a nonbinary who heavily stans I wonder if he knows/will thinks about the claim of them from the Alphabet Mafia. Also: anyone else want to see him listen to Infinitesimal?
I'd suggest trying to stan Cosmo Sheldrake! His music is really unique Suggestions -The Moss -Wriggle -Linger Longer -Come Along -Solar Waltz -Egg and Soldiers -Axolotl -Pliocene -Hocking
trying to stan ‘crywank’ would be cool, some songs are: -it’s ok i wouldn’t remember me either - gb eating gb whilst listening to gb -i am a familiar creek in your floorboards. -memento mori -privately owned spiral galaxy
You know, now that I think about it, "thethirdbill" kinda rhymes with "You should react to Paramore because I think you'd really like them, some songs to get started and go through their evolution of a band would be: Misery Business, Ignorance, Ain't It Fun and Hard Times"
Me, a depressed child: THIS MUSIC ROCKS! *Makes a playlist of only mother mother songs and listens to it on repeat* Normal people: ...help? This is terrifying? I need a hug after this...
@@sourlunae I definitely worded this like a "not like other girls" post but I'm more so referring to the feeling of having mental illness or a traumatic childhood and thinking certain things are normal or making jokes about things and having normal people find it off putting. Like I make a joke about past trauma or show people this type of music and they look at me weird and ask if I'm okay meanwhile I don't see a problem with it or find it comforting. It's not about being quirky it's that feeling of "oh that's right this feeling isn't normal and neither is this experience".
Bill watching these for the first time: **understanding the message clearly and being concerned over the lyrics** Me listening for the 500th time: Yep these songs sound good
This really does highlight how desensitized I am to the music I listen to. For me music like this is very comforting because it shows I'm not alone in the way I'm feeling. I also have difficulty communicating things, so hearing lyrics like this that really illustrate thoughts I've had myself is very helpful.
A lot of the music that was recommended to you is a lot of their older stuff, and their older stuff tended to be more violent. If you listen to their albums chronologically, though, you can hear the healing in their music. You should check out some of their songs from their latest three albums, because it might be more your speed if you want something more positive. You mentioned liking how the singers harmonize, so I recommend No One To Nothing; it's an absolutely beautiful song.
YESS IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!! If you could listen to Penelope Scott’s songs: Rät, American Healthcare, Lotta true crime and Moonsickness I think you would really like the vibe of the music as well as the many metaphors she uses! Love ur content!

Why is this me lol 😂
ayooo hello im here
Sup I came
Oh no he got all the sad songs didn't he-
4/5

I never clicked so fast ! More seriously about "Body" I know a lot of trans people are like "yup dysphoria" and other are like "yup dysmorphia" but as a transgender and disabled guy I always saw it as medical. Every inch of my body hurt and whenever I'm in a bad day I listen to it with the urge to just get rid of my body because I see it as "useless". I'm lucky that it works, that I've never been amputated or anything but when my brain can't process light and sounds and I have to use my wheelchair to go everywhere and sometimes I just can't go outside at all, I really feel "heavy". You know you just feel like without a body you would be at the same level as everyone else and it's soooo frustrating that it's "getting in the way". So I'm happy that you talked about the medical side of it because I thought I was the only one thinking it in the corner you know XD
That's a really good take! I never really thought of the songs that way before.
Same and also i am plus sized and disabled and so I've always just felt in the way and that if my body wasnt they was it was then i would be happy. But slowly I'm realizing that my body is trying it's best to let me be alive but it's difficult. Body helps me cope with every bad feeling towards my body
Same! I'm chronically ill and Body is my theme song when I'm having a flare, like this body SUCKS can I return it for one that doesnt hurt all the time!?
YES YES YES I always say as a disabled ND trans person Body just HITS RIGHT
Hayloft has the same energy as Pumped Up Kicks for me. Absolutely amazing vocals, beats and pitches, but when you listen to the words, you gotta take a minute to let the lyrics sink in. It's almost a blessing and a curse. Just beautifully concerning.
Hey, just remember you never have to push yourself for us! You need to take care of yourself and everyone here will understand and support if you don't want to continue with some heavy artist. We really appreciate how much you listen to our requests already and we'll be fine if you don't want to do something!
Agreed
^^^
I agree ^_^
That being said though Mother Mother has a plethora of less sad songs. Don't forget about albums like Eureka and No Culture
So we Mother Mother fans are all desensitized???? Is that why I didn't question the lyrics??? I thought we were just vibing??? Hello??? Are we okay??? DaMn
No, we’re not ok at all, pretty sure most of us are mentally unstable-
@@lyna4279 u right u right
@@ubeyelliott6348 I don't know, I don't want to assume that just because someone listens to dark music, that they're unstable. I've had people use that against me, and other people I know. "Oh, because you don't listen to happy music, it's making you depressed! It's your fault," essentially.
But... I think I can at least say for myself that these kinds of raw portrayals of feelings I personally have had makes it not seem so jarring for me- I just know I've already felt like this, so the lyrics just don't hit as hard. It feels more like someone kind of understands me. Even if one of the songs isn't something I personally relate to, the feeling still seems raw and real.
@@supremeoverlord0 yeah I felt that. It's not that the songs are what desensitized us but we like them because we are
A hayloft is the top of the barn. It's a common like, small farming community trope to sleep with the farmer's daughter and get chased away, him holding a shotgun and taking potshots.
I don't know if there's anything important subtextually in that song.
ya he seemed to dig a LOT more into that then nessasary pfft good analysis tho
I don’t cry to songs much but I swear “it’s alright” gets me every single time
Same
Same tho
Same,,
I absolutely sob every time
Haha my villian complex go burr 🙃
his eyes lighting up when he hears "what defines a straight man straight" djasdsk
MOOD. that was also the moment where i thought OH, i VIBE with this song,
such a good message
Bill and Mathew mckenna both doing mother mother on the same day? It's a good day
it is a very good day. C:
Ayy thats what i that too!!
its a good day to be nonbinary
@@marshall.barshall oh yes it is. 😊
Very good day!
The Alphabet Mafia is here
yes
its bill we been here
I love that term
:')
It is indeed
Honestly, as a chronically ill nonbinary person, Body just hits different. It’s heavy for sure, but I’m glad a song like that exists for people who need it.
My favourite Monther Mother songs not included here are:
-Ghosting
-Angry Sea
-All Gone
-Bottom is a Rock
-Wreaking Ball
-O My Heart
-Legs Away
-Wisdom
Yes!! All Gone was my first mother mother song and I think its underrated
may i also add Back in school? because thats a good one
Burning Pile is also very good
Up
GHOSTING IS SO GOOODD
This series is really turning into the “Torture Bill with sad songs” show
please do glass animals!
here are some suggestions:
- the other side of paradise
- pork soda
- dreamland
- take a slice
- tangerine
- walla walla
- tokyo drifting
- space ghost coast to coast
YEEEEEES
& the obligatory heat waves mention (i’m sorry but it’s a banger) that being said bill if you see this and you’re looking for the best of the best even though heat waves is probably their biggest right now i would go for the other side of paradise, dreamland and take a slice :)
heatwaves been faking me outtt
Oooooooo, life itself is also a great one, it’s one of my new favourite glass animals song
PORK SODA IS A BANGER
me, who bops to Mother Mother without second thought listening to him talk about how the lyrics were sad and serious and upsetting: ... am i insensitive?
i just heard "alright so next is 'Body'" and went oh boy
I was thinking the same thing. I didn’t realize how dark some of these were because I was too busy giving
vibing*
@@citylights903 i feel that
🙊 body is one of my fav
I can’t listen to body because it hits too close to home :,)
Please please dont push yourself!! If listening to these types of songs gets you really stressed please please take a break or rest dont worry we’ll wait!
"It's Alright" really is such a comforting song. It feels safe.
Mother mother has a lot of feeling for people who have been repeatedly damaged. There are times I have a god complex due to suddenly bad things not happening for the first time so like Oh Ana. Lots of these songs fit just for people who are often beaten down or ostracized. So for me I was often abused I'm also trans and Body by mother monther was the first song to put into words the feeling but also the body issues I got from other mental issues as well. It helps word situations most people without pain might not completely understand. It's a feeling of drownding alone but listening to their music your trying not to drowned together. It's dark definitely and I don't need it all the time but sometimes I need it to get out of the cumbersome feelings and situations they talk about.
Trying to stan Cosmo Sheldrake:
Linger Longer , Come along , the Moss , egg and soldiers , Did Dont Do , Pliocene , Pelicans We .
Oh my god I love Cosmo Sheldrake!!!
Mitsuba,,,,
Yessss! love how cheery some of their songs are
...the tardigrade song?
Yessssssss, also the tardigrade song. I just love it because it's a song, about tardigrades
So glad to see “it’s alright” was on here, it’s the main one I hoped you’d react to. I also recommend “the stand”, “ghosting”, “family” and “get up” (all some of my faves, some might make you sad but all of them rock)
family is definitely one of my favourites
ghosting is so good
please do trying to stan Penelope Scott. here are some songs:
- moonsickness
- mommy fwiend (tw for mentions of suicide)

@@finn3264 thank you! opossums are the best
@@sincerely-sparrow indeed
i love all of those, great recommendations for new listeners!
To the wild is another really good one! (:
Hey Bill, you seem like you’re going through a rough time. You’re probs not gonna see this, but in the off chance you do. You are a wonderful person and you deserve great things. You seem so kind and caring and genuine in your videos, that’s what drew me to watching them. I really hope you’re getting the help you need right now. I care about you bro, have a lovely day and a fantastic year.
Thank you very much for this. I'm doing my best, and i appreciate you taking the time to send kindness and support! i hope you and yours are safe and well! :')
Bill: Trying to stan Mother Mother
Me: oh man, this is gonna make him cry, which is gonna make me cry...*click*
I really recommend Trying to stan: Of Monsters and Men
- King and Lionheart
- Wolves Without Teeth
- Organs
- Black Water
- Little Talks
- Dirty Paws
Yess!! The story telling in the music is amazing!
I agree wholeheartedly, especially with your choices of songs! Little Talks and Black Water are some of my favorites!
My favourite band!! 🥰
Omg yess my faves!! I'm sure Bill would love them!
Absolutely! I would add 'Six Weeks' to this list as well as 'Mountain Sound' they're just such bangers!
I have a suggestion if that's ok, it's for a guy called Cosmo Sheldrake, he's not that sad but he's very interesting as an artist!
some of his songs include:
Come Along
Birthday Suit
The Moss
Pelicans We
Axolotl
Egg and Soldiers
Solar Waltz
(just to name a few)
I absolutely love the mess that is Pelicans We
yesss!! i also really like tardigrade song!
Axolotl and Solar Waltz are beyond underrated
Yess i really love his music !
This would be so good!!!
Oh so this is how people non desensitized by trauma react, cool to know
there is no wrong way to take in music as long as you are kind to yourself and others.
I had never really considered myself to be desensitized, but watching someone react like this has made me...question quite a few things
you should do trying to stan Ricky Montgomery, some good songs from him are Mr Loverman, Line Without A Hook, This December and My Heart Is Buried In Venice
YES
YES!!!!
California is also rly rly good
AHHH YES I SECOND THIS
omg are you trying to kill him?
whoever sees this should copy and comment it themself so he sees
I’ve been a fan for a while, so here’s a few suggestions lol
Mother Mother-
Calm Me Down
Ghosting
Oleander
Little Pistol
Dirty Town
Family
Lemon Demon-
Cabinet Man
Touch-Tone Telephone
Jaws
Brodyquest
Redesign Your Logo
A Mask Of My Own Face
Two Trucks
Eighth Wonder
oh yes he should totally react to lemon demon! i would love that lol
LEMON DEMON YES
Calm Me Down is an awesome song omg
Lemon Demon is a perfect contrast after Mother Mother, honestly...
Jaws and Cabinet Man absolutely bop too
Other cool Mother Mother songs:
Arms Tonite
Back in School
Burning Pile
arms tonight was the first song i heard from them👌🏻
You should do the “oh hellos”
-Bitter water
-this will end
-pale white horse
-where is your rider
OMG YES
@@ana_vicosa579 YESSSSS
May i also add 'hello my old heart'
What about dear wormwood? That’s my fave!
Zephyrus too!
Tbh, I like mother mother so much because their music feels so chaotic and angry. The lyrics are really heavy and in a way that makes me feel understood. Like, I've become so numb to certain things and feelings and it's just nice to kinda let go by listening to this and singing along to songs that are so blunt and brutal. But I see how upsetting this must be to someone who connects with this on a different level. Especially someone like you who cares so deeply about things. :(
TW: Self harm
as a person who used to self harm, Oh Anna really does describe that struggle for me a lot, and is honestly the best representation of what its like that I've found. Not a lot of people know that self harm is an addiction for most people and believe that just saying to stop will make the person stop, which really harms the other person when they get mad that they didn't. During that time I would feel like I was a disappointment and constantly thought about how it would affect my loved ones but couldn't fully stop doing it. Even after I thought I stopped, I found myself hitting my head into walls when I become overwhelmed with emotions, a habit that I am still combatting to this day.
Agreed. At least for me it is addicting, it takes overy life
Penelope Scott is a great up and coming artist that you might enjoy! She has really great lyrics and all of her songs are _bops._
Some of my favorites of hers are:
- Cigarette Ahegao
- Rät
- Born2Run (I prefer the shorter version that was originally released on tiktok personally, but yknow)
- Sweet Hibiscus Tea
- Lotta True Crime
- American Healthcare
yes yes yes
YES PLEASE
bill : "the next song is titled It's Alright"
me: (loud gasp) oh gosh this is the song he needed but CRY. HE'S GONNA CRY. LIKE WE ALL DID.
(a few seconds later)
bill : (teary) "oh god"
me : YES. CRY. *evil laughter followed with sobs*
when it started talking about nose and eyes in body, it also tapped into my internal racism, i've hated my features for quite a while because because i didn't meet caucasian beauty standards and it was drilled into my mind as a child because that was all the media i consumed, western media
As someone who has liked Mother Mother for about 6 years now, it's crazy to me that they are getting popular now!
Edit: If anyone new to MM is reading this, I hope you like them!!
(Also Very Good Bad Thing isn't on Spotify so I advise you to listen to the album here on RUclips since it's so good!!)
They deserve it ALOT!
Same!!! it’s what they deserve
Honestly whenever I heard they were getting big on tik tok it made me so happy that other people could get into the band they're music is so good and just raw
I'm mother mother fan for i think 3 years now and I am so happy for them getting popular
Same!! I have been listening to mother mother for about 6 years now, it’s kinda crazy to see them getting more popular now. I love their music so much though
If you're gonna do more Mother Mother
-Back In School
-Burning Pile
-Problems
-Wisdom
You should so totally do Penelope Scott, she has some really good music that o definitely think it would be interesting to see your reaction to.
-cigarette ahegao
-born2run
-mommy friend
-feel better
-moon sickness
-rat
-sweet hibiscus tea
-Montreal
-lukewarm
-American healthcare
Thier music is cool.
don’t forget lotta true crime :)
you should do penelope scott!!
-rät
-born2run
-american healthcare
-lotta true crime
-sweet hibiscus tea
-dead girls
Also if you do Mother Mother again I love burning pile, arms tonite, (very?) good bad thing, wrecking ball, and ghosting
I love how Bill interprets music and what lyrics mean
Like a lot of the things he says in all his videos on the music he's listening to are things I never would have thought of or realised and they help me better understand why I actually like the music and help me connect better with the artist and the emotion they put into their music.
Here's to another year of trying to stan
you have no idea how badly i needed to see something like this today. thank you so much for this. i hope you and yours are safe and well.
“Happy 2021, I’m ok 🙂” sounds like a song
PLEASE TRY TO STAN TALLY HALL LISTEN TO MARVIN’S MARVELLOUS MECHANICAL MUSEUM!!!
YES!
I personally prefer good and evil although i cant listen to their music since the lead singer is transphobic
@@microwave._. Did they come out and say something or is it your opinion? I hadn't heard anything about that before so I wanted to know if it was a J.K. Rowling thing were she just randomly said it.
Ooh, I would love to see his reaction to Turn The Lights Off. :)
YESSSS!!!!!
Hey, couple other mothermother bangers
- business man
- burning pile
- cut the string
- bit by bit
- ghosting
- All gone
Cut the string is sooo good. One of my favs is born in a flash
Wrecking Ball too. That song fuckin _slaps!_
God yeah, cut the string is my one of my favs. The lyrics really hit.
@@bengal4047 oh shit, you're right, how did I not put that!
Oleander?
i love mother mother!! super cool video. if you decide to do a part two i definitely recommend
- ghosting
- burning pile
- wrecking ball
- arms tonite
- problems
but honestly all their songs are amazing :)
as a closeted pansexual mother mother is definitely one of my favs
for the people that are pretty new to Mother Mother, here are some more ‘underrated’ songs:
-The Stand
-Lets Fall in Love
-Problems
-Businessman
-Infinitesimal
-Legs Away
-Family
(lemme know if i have to add more)
was waiting for someone to mention the stand in these comments. SOOOO underrated
oh tic toc is one. and all gone. tbh a lot of the "the sticks" album is underrated 💀
infinitesimal is 15/10 tbh
I'd suggest trying to stan Cosmo Shelldrake! I promise its not sad, and his music is super unique :)
Some of my fav songs of his are:
-the moss
-come along
-tardigrade song
- solar waltz
- egg and soldier
-wriggle
-beetroot kvass
I hope you have a great 2021!
His music help inspire a visual novel in writing! He is honestly a great artist
Pelicans We is also a great song!
The fly is really great!
I've been waiting for this one! As a nonbinary who heavily stans I wonder if he knows/will thinks about the claim of them from the Alphabet Mafia. Also: anyone else want to see him listen to Infinitesimal?
I'd suggest trying to stan Cosmo Sheldrake! His music is really unique
Suggestions
-The Moss
-Wriggle
-Linger Longer
-Come Along
-Solar Waltz
-Egg and Soldiers
-Axolotl
-Pliocene
-Hocking
yes please omg i love him so much
I love Cosmo!
YES idk anyone who listens to him he's so underrated
YES
Yessss
trying to stan ‘crywank’ would be cool, some songs are:
-it’s ok i wouldn’t remember me either
- gb eating gb whilst listening to gb
-i am a familiar creek in your floorboards. -memento mori
-privately owned spiral galaxy
Hi I really liked these do you have any other recommendations?
@@liampittman4187 Just a Snail, I Am Shit, Leech Boy, Cliche, and I Am The Familiar Creak in Your Floorboards are other good ones
Oh you're trying to make him _cry_ cry huh
we need this omg
only everyone can judge me would probably brake him-
You know, now that I think about it, "thethirdbill" kinda rhymes with "You should react to Paramore because I think you'd really like them, some songs to get started and go through their evolution of a band would be: Misery Business, Ignorance, Ain't It Fun and Hard Times"
THIS IS SUCH A GOOD IDEA YES
absolutely, banger idea right here
Me, a depressed child: THIS MUSIC ROCKS! *Makes a playlist of only mother mother songs and listens to it on repeat*
Normal people: ...help? This is terrifying? I need a hug after this...
so quirky.
@@sourlunae I definitely worded this like a "not like other girls" post but I'm more so referring to the feeling of having mental illness or a traumatic childhood and thinking certain things are normal or making jokes about things and having normal people find it off putting. Like I make a joke about past trauma or show people this type of music and they look at me weird and ask if I'm okay meanwhile I don't see a problem with it or find it comforting. It's not about being quirky it's that feeling of "oh that's right this feeling isn't normal and neither is this experience".
THANK YOU THIS IS SO COOL BTW I'M SO HAPPY THANK YOU FOR LISTENING TO MOTHER MOTHER AAAA
Bill watching these for the first time: **understanding the message clearly and being concerned over the lyrics**
Me listening for the 500th time: Yep these songs sound good
This really does highlight how desensitized I am to the music I listen to. For me music like this is very comforting because it shows I'm not alone in the way I'm feeling. I also have difficulty communicating things, so hearing lyrics like this that really illustrate thoughts I've had myself is very helpful.
My favs:
Hayloft
Ghosting
little pistols
Arms tonite
Body
Burning pile
Verbatim
Oh ana
I honestly really like the "O My Heart" album.
Sleep awake
Ghosting is my fav
I SEE THE TITLE AND CAME RUNNING. MOTHER MOTHER IS SO GOOD
A lot of the music that was recommended to you is a lot of their older stuff, and their older stuff tended to be more violent. If you listen to their albums chronologically, though, you can hear the healing in their music. You should check out some of their songs from their latest three albums, because it might be more your speed if you want something more positive. You mentioned liking how the singers harmonize, so I recommend No One To Nothing; it's an absolutely beautiful song.
YESS IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!! If you could listen to Penelope Scott’s songs: Rät, American Healthcare, Lotta true crime and Moonsickness I think you would really like the vibe of the music as well as the many metaphors she uses! Love ur content!
yes!! i also would recommend songs from her first album like sweet hibiscus tea, montreal, and hammerhead!
Can you react to Penelope Scott? Preferably her Public Void album?
I love that album!!

This was literally bill just wishing he didn't know English for 30 minutes
If you want to cry there's Mitski
