The song was written from the perspective of Amanda Kloots whose husband, Nick Cordero was a Broadway actor who fought Covid for 90+ days, had his leg amputated, and was in a coma, and eventually died of Covid. They had a 1-year-old boy named Elvis, and the last line "he looks just like you" is a reference to their son looking just like Nick. Heartbreaking.
I think a huge credit goes to their parents. They really focused on allowing them to be individuals and make their own paths. Home schooling gets a bad rap sometimes but this is definitely home schooling done right. Shelter and Let's fall in love for the night have great videos. His are simpler than Billies, not in a bad way, but are still very captivating.
As Finneas says, this song is about the world right now for him and Billie going to protests and F'ing 2020 has us all so tired, scared & just plain hopeless, but also if you notice that the lights goes from Red to Blue representing America's politics Republicans and Democrats and how we need to come together "to make the world better than it ever was" and which side of history will you be on with the title (that's what they'll say about us) and "Make the world better than it ever was" (takes a shot at the MAGA bullshit) FINNEAS is a proud vocal Democrat the "bridge" talks of PAIN and how "it never does" get better...referring to RACISM The ending I believe refers to the global pandemic and how it's ( taking patients) and "if you don't wake up I know you tried too" as Finneas states this song also refers to Broadway actor Nick Cordero, who got Covid-19 and had been hospitalized for three months in a coma, and had his leg amputated and never woke up his wife, Amanda Kloots got a huge social media following, Nick was just 41 and they just had a 1 yr old named Elvis which Finneas last verse is dedicated to. But it also represented hope for the future, even though he looks like he's been beaten up and bruised at the end. This song brought me to tears the first 5 times I listened to it and it still chokes me up it's broad appeal to what we are ALL going through right now. this is BEAUTIFUL FINNEAS IS PURE GENIUS
They both have synesthesia so when they write a song it’s really a multidimensional thing for them. (Billie has talked about songs having colors associated with them.) Finneas is really growing as a solo artist. I saw him in 2019 and again just a few weeks ago and his confidence and stage presence has Sky rocketed. I’m a 55 y.o. who is just continually blown away by both his talents and his humility.
Great reaction! Billie and Finneas just did a Grammy Museum interview which included Hans Zimmer that is really good. Also, their interview on Howard Stern is great, and near the end Howard invites their parents in which is a hoot! Check it out.
My boyfriend send this song to me when my grandfather was sick in the hospital with COVID, my mom was also sick and a bunch of other family members. I was so scared and depressed knowing my grandpa would pass, this song means so much to me.
Finneas has a very unique voice and sounds like no one else. I think hes under rated. I knew you would appreciate what he does. Any of the already suggested songs of his by the other comments below are all great ones to start with. Great reaction!
Oh yay! Wonderful reaction as always. Im glad you gave FINNEAS a shot because I adore his music. I started out with Billie as well and it took me too long to give him a shot but I don't regret it one bit. You should check out 'I lost a friend', 'Break my Heart Again', 'Let's Fall in love for the night' and 'Shelter'.
Finneas is a legend!. So awesome you are reacting to this song...pretty sure it wont be the only one! His voice is gold and im so sure Finneas and Billie are old souls.
Long time viewer, love your reaction videos. So mad you havent made any recently. So much good music came out this year, and your absence has definitely been felt when I've been watching reviews. Your analysis and commentary is always so interesting and thorough and positive. I really hope you'll consider coming back to RUclips, your so good at it. But most of all, i hope your doing well friend. Happy New Year to you and your family!
Åh Finneas, yay! Like several people have already said - "Let's fall in love for the night" is a really good song, also "Claudia" and "Shelter" are really good. :)
Please react to the Live from home performance of break my heart again....it's by far the best version and Billie sings background for brother this time 💚🤗
I commented on one of your other videos, but you really should react to Billie and Finneas breaking down “Bad Guy.” They’re geniuses, as you said, and it’s really showcased in them taking us through the production of their most popular and arguably one of their most creative and unique songs.
I’d love is you reacted to Billie’s James cordin carpool karaoke! You get some live singing and a really beautiful glimpse into her life and career. And meet the amazing mom that raised her and Finneas.
this song is about all that is happening in 2020 with blm and our generation doing things to change the world so there is hope for the future, but also about losing someone from covid19 at the same time, is so sad :( inspired by the death of Nick Cordero
Hi Sol Mendoza. That makes sense, I had a feeling that's what he was talking about. I appreciate when musicians speak up in song. It can be a powerful motivator for change!
I didn't know this. This is fascinating, and explains a lot! Both Billie and Finneas are really doing some cool stuff! I'm so glad I started down this road.
Awesome!! React to Die Alone, Break my heart again....there is a live performance where billie sings harmony!! Its a pay it forward live reaction of break my heart again. .
Two great interviews with Billie and Finneas. 1. Billie Eilish and Finneas "Interview and spiders in LA 9.17.19". This is 5:34 long, there are different sections to this interview but this is the more entertaining one. 2. Again there are different sections to this but this is the best "Maggie Baird and Patrick O’Connell in the Billie Eilish and Finneas Howard Stern interview" 3:31 minutes.
Hey Alden! I did a couple more but they were fully blocked by RUclips ☹️ No matter how much I chopped it up or covered the videos, I couldn’t get them to stay up. I’ll try again soon here 🙂
Suggesting you check out all song on the latest album from Ingrid Michaelson called Stranger Songs. The ability of her to focus an album with that retro 80s feel but in a modern way. And the songs relate to anybody but if you’re a fan of the show stranger things....relates to that as well. My favs are take me home, hate you, hey you and pretty. Would love anything by her to get reviewed.

That is heartbreaking! This does provide good insight into the song and the passion Finneas sang this with.

You MUST check out his videos for "I Lost a Friend" and "Let's fall in love for the night" 💖💖💖
His entire EP Blood Harmony is great. My favorites are Shelter and Die Alone.
As Finneas says, this song is about the world right now for him and Billie going to protests and F'ing 2020 has us all so tired, scared & just plain hopeless, but also if you notice that the lights goes from Red to Blue representing America's politics Republicans and Democrats and how we need to come together "to make the world better than it ever was" and which side of history will you be on with the title (that's what they'll say about us) and "Make the world better than it ever was" (takes a shot at the MAGA bullshit) FINNEAS is a proud vocal Democrat the "bridge" talks of PAIN and how "it never does"
get better...referring to RACISM
The ending I believe refers to the global pandemic and how it's ( taking patients) and "if you don't wake up I know you tried too" as Finneas states this song also refers to
Broadway actor Nick Cordero, who got Covid-19 and had been hospitalized for three months in a coma, and had his leg amputated and never woke up his wife, Amanda Kloots got a huge social media following, Nick was just 41 and they just had a 1 yr old named Elvis which Finneas last verse is dedicated to.

Now you gotta check out Lets fall in love for the night by him

Forgot to say you should listen to Break my heart again..with Billie harmonizing. Beautiful!
You should check out “break my heart again” now, it’s amazing! Loved your video!!😁
He wrote this about Nick Cordero’s battle with Covid and sent it to his wife Amanda Kloots. Sweet guy.
Great reaction! Billie and Finneas just did a Grammy Museum interview which included Hans Zimmer that is really good. Also, their interview on Howard Stern is great, and near the end Howard invites their parents in which is a hoot!
Check it out.
My boyfriend send this song to me when my grandfather was sick in the hospital with COVID, my mom was also sick and a bunch of other family members. I was so scared and depressed knowing my grandpa would pass, this song means so much to me.
I would love to see your reaction to Finneas' latest video "Only a Lifetime" - it's a great look into his relationship with his family.
Finneas has a very unique voice and sounds like no one else. I think hes under rated. I knew you would appreciate what he does. Any of the already suggested songs of his by the other comments below are all great ones to start with. Great reaction!
Thanks diddy d. I'm stoked to add more of his tunes to my list!
Let's fall in love for the night. All song from him are so good.
I'm so glad you checked out Finneas. Great reaction! You should check out "I Lost A Friend" by Finneas the song and video are done perfectly.

yess❤️❤️❤️ i love this song. just made a cover of this song and the words are too deep ❤️🤩🤩🤩🤩
He has said that Billies videos are entirely hers the two of them collaborate on the songs but each does their own visuals.
This song was actually inspired by a celeb that died from Covid. I forget the celebs name but there is a video where he talks about it somewhere.
Long time viewer, love your reaction videos. So mad you havent made any recently. So much good music came out this year, and your absence has definitely been felt when I've been watching reviews. Your analysis and commentary is always so interesting and thorough and positive. I really hope you'll consider coming back to RUclips, your so good at it.

Åh Finneas, yay! Like several people have already said - "Let's fall in love for the night" is a really good song, also "Claudia" and "Shelter" are really good. :)
Thanks Jessica! I'll add these to my list. I was super impressed with this video and tune!
his entire EP is perfect and break my heart again is also such a good song!!
I like Break My Heart Again.
Ugh so good
Please react to the Live from home performance of break my heart again....it's by far the best version and Billie sings background for brother this time 💚🤗
Can I just say that metal guy is a total babe? He's incredibly handsome, like wtf?
Thank you Fabse! That’s such a kind thing to say! I hope you have a kicka$$ day!
You should listen to “I lost a friend” next. Soooo good
I commented on one of your other videos, but you really should react to Billie and Finneas breaking down “Bad Guy.” They’re geniuses, as you said, and it’s really showcased in them taking us through the production of their most popular and arguably one of their most creative and unique songs.
You should definitely check out Break my heart again, Let’s fall in love for the night and new girl.
Definitely listen to Angel. Beautiful song
I’d love is you reacted to Billie’s James cordin carpool karaoke! You get some live singing and a really beautiful glimpse into her life and career. And meet the amazing mom that raised her and Finneas.

Thank you so much Laila! I’m having a blast making them! What’s your favorite Finneas tune?
@@MetalGuyReacts I love break my heart again, angel, and i lost a friend. But really, all of his songs are AMAZING. He's so talented.
OH, and let's fall in love for te night.
Finneas is f'n amazing. Let's Fall in Love for the Night and New Girl are amazing. New Girl is an older song of his, but your rock soul will LOVE it.
You should definitely listen to his new song ‘can’t wait to be dead’!
i loved your reaction to this. the look on your face, its nice watching someone just truly become immersed in the music :)
Break my Heart Again and Let's Fall in Love for the Night!!!❤❤❤
this song is about all that is happening in 2020 with blm and our generation doing things to change the world so there is hope for the future, but also about losing someone from covid19 at the same time, is so sad :( inspired by the death of Nick Cordero

Love all of FINNEAS’s stuff! He just released a new Christmas single.
Definitely gotta do more like lost a friend
check out his videos from his blood harmony ep album
I think they both have synesthesia disorder, which is why they are both very visual.
I didn't know this. This is fascinating, and explains a lot! Both Billie and Finneas are really doing some cool stuff! I'm so glad I started down this road.
I love your videos keep doing what you doing 💗😊
my first thought was about someone on a ventilator (covid) and if they can wake up to see their newborn son.
Awesome!! React to Die Alone, Break my heart again....there is a live performance where billie sings harmony!! Its a pay it forward live reaction of break my heart again. .
Very Chris Martin. I like it.
Love you bro
I love you too!
Lost a friend by Finneas.
