Woke up early, what a nice treat to find. This song is so deep and beautiful. I like your interpretation, I believe he’s talking to God without saying it, that way you can take what you need from the song because not all of the clique is religious. He leaves many songs open for interpretation in that way. Thanks so much for the reaction. Hoping you are doing well and your new family member/ baby is doing well ❤
Yup this is the way I have always seen it, their religious allusions are often vague enough that you can easily interpret them to best fit your own personal struggle
I love this! Like he says “we’re Twenty One Pilots and so are you” I love seeing people genuinely fall in love with them, I mean how could you not! Gives me all the feels.
This song is from the album called 'twenty one pilots' (you'll hear it referred to as 'self-titled' by the clique). It's from 2009 before they were signed to a record label and before Josh joined the band. At this time the band was really just a group of friends - Tyler, Chris and Nick - making music together and playing gigs locally. Tyler self recorded and produced it in the basement of his parents house and they self released it. Tyler was really learning his craft at this time. It has a lot of themes around faith as well as the usual mental health themes.
I'm all for two reactions a day. Addict with a pen is basically a prayer. "We haven't talked in quite some time. I know I haven't been the best of sons." or "But you specialize in dying, you hear me screaming "father" and I'm lying here just crying, so wash me with your water" suggests that the narrator is turning to God. Please react to Taxi Cab ❤
I see this song as Tyler is talking to God, "Father." He's struggling and asking God for help. "I haven't been the best of sons," so "wash me with your water."
I’m so glad you checked their older song! Tbh my fave songs are from their old “unreleased” album Regional at best, I’d love for you to dig more into their earlier works, because young Tyler wrote beauuuuutiful poetry. Kitchen Sink would be my suggestion for sure. However, full album reaction is honestly a great idea, you can split it into several parts. Anyway looking forward for more as always! Have a great day!
Agreed that Josh is amazing but the drummer for their first record was actually Chris Salih, one of the band's founding members! Josh didn't appear on a recorded album until "Vessel", he joined the band for the release of "Regional at Best" but all the drums on that record were programmed digitally
Yay more TOP!! Anything they do is absolutely 🔥 but I think you’d enjoy morph and hometown as well they’re underrated gems from them imo! And and Bandito too! Loving your journey my friend!! Much ❤️
One of my top tier TOP songs of all time. You def HAVE to do the UG Studio version of this song. Even though we just watched you on this one, we'll watch with you again. That one's so raw and gutteral and it just gives me chills every time. And tears. The imagery in this one is so powerful. And Tyler will talk about those waves of water again in songs you have yet to do.... Love how you're commenting on the music as well as the visuals/meanings. It's all relevant. |-/ ❤ 🔥
I remember you saying on previous videos that you like when they let the music talk. I love that too. So this Self Titled album has a lot of that. Implicit demand for proof is mostly instrumental, isle of flightless birds as well, my favorite is taxi cab and March to the sea, but all the songs are great. I think reacting album by album is a great idea, so when you go and react to Scaled and Icy you won't miss the clues that connects it to previous songs.
Crazy that you’re reacting to this, cos this was one of the songs that helped me cope after my mental breakdown 😅 god the memories this brought back. Still love it though
This song got me through a really rough time. Tyler has a way of capturing so much in his lyrics. Many of the songs on this self-titled album are dealing with his struggles with mental health and his faith. I would love if you did full album reactions. You can just do one a day. I’m loving your reactions to both TØP and Ren ❤ Enjoy the journey and we will be right there with you
I have seen a lot of TØP reactions you are by far one of my favorites. I like how you get right into the video and I like how you interpret the songs and meanings. We also love when people discover them because they are definitely a little underrated. We just want them to get the same love and respect that other artist get (although we think they are on a whole other level) please continue to do more! Would love for you to go back and check out some of their live performances! And their sessions are amazing!
I love the idea of starting at the beginning and seeing the growth. Every album is great and I feel like the first 3 may be the best 3 (self-titled, regional at best, vessel) ...but then I feel bad because the last 3 are also and equally as amazing haha.
I will say that the songs that are on regional at best AND vessel (they rerecorded a few when they got signed to FBR) are best to skip and then listen to the re-recorded versions on vessel ...but the non duplicated tracks on RAB are excellent.
Hello We haven't talked in quite some time I know I haven't been the best Of sons, hello, I've been traveling in the desert of my mind And I Haven't found a drop Of life I haven't found a drop Of you, I haven't found a drop I haven't found a drop Of water Water I try desperately to run through the sand As I hold the water in the palm of my hand 'Cause it's all that I have and it's all that I need and The waves of the water mean nothing to me But I try my best and all that I can To hold tightly onto what's left in my hand But no matter how, how tightly I will strain The sand will slow me down and the water will drain I'm just being dramatic, in fact, I'm only at it again As an addict with a pen, who's addicted to the wind As it blows me back and forth, mindless, spineless, and pretend Of course I'll be here again, see you tomorrow, but it's the end of today End of my ways as a walking denial My trial was filed as a crazy suicidal head case But you specialize in dying, you hear me screaming "father" And I'm lying here just crying, so wash me with your water Water
Whatever you do we are here with you! You are my #1 favorite 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 I literally come home from work and log in checking for your reactions! Twenty One Pilots all day every day ❤🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Ik u need a collective response from the clique so I’m just putting it out there again since u said it before, can we pls have reactions of every song of an album, then go to the next?
🔥🔥 Yup especially with the older albums you haven't covered as much yet (Self Titled, Vessel, Scaled and Icy), going through the sequence of the album may be a great way to go!
So I like never make requests but I need to shoot for it. There is this awesome reggae band from Georgia and Ted the lead singer is an amazing songwriter. No one has reacted to them and I really wanna get there music out there more cause they truley deserve it. The band is called Passafire and they just came out with 5 songs this year, they don’t have any music videos but they have sung on sugar shack. I’d say listen to the new stuff like Offer, 16 beat, or Stash and then we can move on to the albums. PLEASE I really want someone to react to their music it’s so good
This is one of my favs from this album. They're self titled album is full of gems. I highly suggest Trapdoor and Fall Away. If you do Fall Away I suggest doing a 2 in 1 video. Listen to the studio version but also watch the live version featuring Dr. Blum from the band Misterwives who plays the trumpet. I was fortunate enough to see them live and see that performed. Such an experience.
Heard this live before they got signed. Bawled my eyes out. Yeah, there's a religious tone, knowing Tyler's faith, but one doesn't need a religious faith to get the point.
A lot of their music, especially their earlier stuff, is heavily influenced by Tyler's religious upbringing. It is usually left fairly vague so anyone can interpret it in their own way. A lot of it deals with doubt ("Doubt" is another great song to check out) and obviously his struggles with depression. To me, this song, and many others, are almost a prayer. Tyler is talking to God and asking for help. He is desperately trying to hold on to his faith/ life (water) as hard as he can, but walking through a sinful world (sand) and struggling with mental illness, makes it seemingly impossible. Great reaction as always! So happy you found TOP!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 You're getting back to the good stuff. I LOVE IT! . The earlier albums are superior to their new stuff IMO. "Trapdoor " and "Doubt" PLEASE!!! Hint : they are very religious. Now listen to it (and all their tracks) again.
the clique is here…we everywhere. the few. the proud. the emotional. |-/ 💙🔥🤘🏽
FPE 🙌🏼

Hello Clancy
Full album reaction would be great. A song a day! No need to rush this journey. Let’s just have a good time! 🤘🏽🔥🔥🔥

You should check out the UG Studios live performance of this one! So emotional!

They never get old. I've heard all their songs so many times and now I'm watching all your reactions on them welcome to the clique TØP
The Hype, My Blood and Neon Gravestones
I commented before I watched until the end. You are my current favorite for twenty one pilots reactors ❤🔥🔥
And did I mention JOSH DUN? 🥰 What a DRUMMER!🫠
Agreed that Josh is amazing but the drummer for their first record was actually Chris Salih, one of the band's founding members! Josh didn't appear on a recorded album until "Vessel", he joined the band for the release of "Regional at Best" but all the drums on that record were programmed digitally
You gotta watch the live session of this song, so much emotion. This song is special, the self titled album is just amazing 🙌
Yay more TOP!! Anything they do is absolutely 🔥 but I think you’d enjoy morph and hometown as well they’re underrated gems from them imo! And and Bandito too! Loving your journey my friend!! Much ❤️

Loved this song!
Yes you are one of my favorite reactors! 🔥I would like to see you react to TØP full albums!!

Oh man, you are going way back. I love the self-titled album and Vessel so much.
I love the idea of starting at the beginning and seeing the growth.

Hello
We haven't talked in quite some time
I know
I haven't been the best
Of sons, hello, I've been traveling in the desert of my mind
And I
Haven't found a drop
Of life
I haven't found a drop
Of you, I haven't found a drop
I haven't found a drop
Of water
Water
I try desperately to run through the sand
As I hold the water in the palm of my hand
'Cause it's all that I have and it's all that I need and
The waves of the water mean nothing to me
But I try my best and all that I can
To hold tightly onto what's left in my hand
But no matter how, how tightly I will strain
The sand will slow me down and the water will drain
I'm just being dramatic, in fact, I'm only at it again
As an addict with a pen, who's addicted to the wind
As it blows me back and forth, mindless, spineless, and pretend
Of course I'll be here again, see you tomorrow, but it's the end of today
End of my ways as a walking denial
My trial was filed as a crazy suicidal head case
But you specialize in dying, you hear me screaming "father"
And I'm lying here just crying, so wash me with your water
Water
Whatever you do we are here with you! You are my #1 favorite 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 I literally come home from work and log in checking for your reactions! Twenty One Pilots all day every day ❤🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
