The way that he don't need to sing to impress people with his songs in genius's videos ,like other singers is so cool and impressive itself ,because his lyrics always have meaning behind it. Inspires me everytime
He has quickly become one of my favorite artists and I wish he got more recognition and wasn’t labeled “Billie’s brother” cause this man is so much more
I don't think that he is labeled as "billie's brother" tho. He has regognition but as a producer and as writer. Not as singer. If people realizes it, then its boom
He's not labeled that way on this. And you're the only comment that mentions it. We've reached the point where there's more people complaining about those calling him Billie's brother than there are people calling him Billie's brother.
I would disagree, and say he gets a lot of recognition. He has 8 grammys, an ascap, (and other awards)- all for his writing and producing. He is touring this year, he has over 10 million monthly listeners on streaming platforms, a new album. People are supporting and listening to his solo ventures in music. You have to keep in mind, that some people love just creating and could care less about the result of it, however, he is VERY well known as just Finneas. Certainly has made a name for himself at this point!
I completely agree! I just saw his concert in LA and whenever I’d talk about the experience, people were always like “who’s that?” 😭 Like the amount of times I had to say “you may know him as Billie Eilish’s brother” was honestly devastating
@@marmarflarflarjarjar Look at speeches abs interviews he’s done, and you know that he has said that statement doesn’t really bother him, he’s not upset, he’s still doing great for himself. Want him to have even more support? Be happy to tell people about his music, to spread the word. He announced that he will be with her on tour until she “fires him”-he’s still happy to be involved in her career.
I wish finneas would sing in those😔 His voice is so beautiful and so rich/full (if that makes sense). He has one of those voices that would sound amazing acapella
Optimist is amazing! If you haven't yet listened to it I suggest you definitely go do that whenever you have the time! It's great and very relatable! Finneas is great at what he does and I hope you all give his music a chance!
Billie and finneas are prime examples of what happens when you let kids truly explore themselves and chase their passion. Most parents want their kids to be this person instead of letting them be them!
I’ll keep saying this until the end of time, this entire album is CRIMINALLY under appreciated! The way the album touches on subjects like anxiety, the world ending and love. I also love how the album is called ‘Optimist’ and some songs are just plain pessimistic. I love this body of work and the amount of attention to detail to all songs.
Y'all should listen to Blood Harmony, you'll understand why his songs are somehow connected to that unique feeling that HE only knows how to put into words. Been falling in love with his music for 3 years now. Such a great man.
I can't believe, you did this video with him. When i heard the song until now, i've really wanted to watch such a great video about a song and its meaning. I'm actually obsessed with this song
People talk about how much their favorite artists move them but it’s just on a completely different level with FINNEAS his music distorts you in the most beautiful ways possible and makes you feel emotions you didn’t know you had. He has so many fans but is still so underrated and then Optimist dropped and it just further proved how amazing he is. He is amazing and deserves so much
his songs are so honest and deep. his writing is beautiful. it kinda of connect with people in a way that make the song so real and close to the listener. idk if i’m making sense rn but that’s what it feels to me, and i’m really grateful for it
im so happy with Finneas and his album, his way of connecting people, showing people a mirror, and simply touching our hearts with his music. He's a genius with a bug heart. THANK U FINNEAS
The lyrics pierces through your soul so hard just because of how true it is Finneas you are a true modern poet so much to learn from your musical and writing skills you are truly an inspiration.
Bro optimist is a NO SKIP ALBUM I love EVERY SONG on that album my fav is prob what they’ll say about us!!!! Please just go listen to it and forget any preconceived notion’s you may or may not have because this album is insane!!
The way Finneas writes his songs is so eloquently getting the message across, it almost makes you think this video would be unnecessary but somehow it wasn't.
Finneas is absolutely brilliant. I saw him in November and it was one of the best concerts I have ever gone to and up close. I saw him in November and he was beyond amazing. I'm a music snob and I'm 51. He did 20 songs in a row playing the piano and different guitars and no breaks! Finneas is a genuine talented musician. Love him and Billie!
I like that he is a role model for this generation, a voice saying yes it may be hard but it’s worth it. In a world where people use people and love things instead it’s nice to see this type of song. Love makes the world go round.
I want to share something. When this song came out, I listened to it and I listened to it just once. I was so in awe that I decided not to listen to it again. I didn't even watch the video. I'm going to listen to the song of course but I just wanted to share this weird feeling. I admire this song so much that I don't want to touch it again because it's so beautiful. It's like mad level of respect. Doesn't make sense but it is.
Every word is so true that he is saying. They need to love you for who you are and there are ups and downs in every relationship! If everything is perfect, it would be boring. To me, true love means two lovers can cry with each other at some point. Don’t follow your path of your parents, you may think their love relationship is perfect, but they may not show you the bad parts.
I discovered his music and I've never looked back, the way he explains his lyrics makes you appreciate the songs more. I just love this guy honestly, such authenticity when he speaks his actions and facial expressions are so genuine. Have I mentioned I love this guy🥰 coz I do💜💜💜
So cool I met FINNEAS and Billie a few years back! They were both so incredibly nice 🤍 love that he does his own music too they are both soooo talented and deserve every sing bit of love and support that they are getting in so many different ways!! 🤍🤍🤍
That might sound a bit cliché and honestly it never happened to me before but I barely listen to what he was saying, his eyes caught all of my attention. Unique
I bet you this is one of the only meaningful genius interviews recently. I know it’s somewhat tired to say this and suddenly uncool, but I genuinely appreciate that he is making real, deep, meaningful music. The radio lacks that more and more these days. Who knows, maybe I’m just emotional because I’m going through a rough patch, but this album touched me. Finneas deserves all the happiness in the world. (BTW I’m 19… not a boomer)
Great breakdown, but I really wish he had sung those beautiful lines. Break My Heart Again is still my favorite. Finneas has one of the best voices in the industry and outside the industry right now, and no one can convince me otherwise. Super underrated.
The way he articulates his words is so satisfying, idk how to put it, so glad this album came out. Forever proud and inspired by you!
he looks like he should have a British accent
everyone says that 😭😭
@@alondrasalazarmagic7871 lmaooo
awesome dude tho, love u Finneas
I always expected him to sound Irish or Scottish
Someone said it's probably about his eyebrows.

his skills in songwriting and put all of the deep meaning into one song is so talented man

Agreed! I also was really hoping to hear that beautiful raspiness on its own.
for realll I was hoping he wpuld sing this time :'(
I liked the way he read it like a poem.
Optimist is amazing! If you haven't yet listened to it I suggest you definitely go do that whenever you have the time! It's great and very relatable! Finneas is great at what he does and I hope you all give his music a chance!
definitely!! i love finneas’ music so much. he’s a lyrical genius. i’m so glad i discovered him
Billie and finneas are prime examples of what happens when you let kids truly explore themselves and chase their passion. Most parents want their kids to be this person instead of letting them be them!
Yess
Also, live in LA.
I wish we could talk about him without talking about billie.
@@yrldarb5625 Phineas is essential to all of Billie's music, we praise him just as much as we prase Billie.
The line “wish it wasn’t mandatory dying” gets me every time😭😭

He’s such an amazing conversationalist, such an inspiration!

Finneas is underrated, don't @ me
SO TRUE BESTIE
SPILLED
I'm so proud of you Finneas
I can't believe, you did this video with him. When i heard the song until now, i've really wanted to watch such a great video about a song and its meaning.
I'm actually obsessed with this song
His speaking voice is so deep and pleasant to listen to. Extremely good voice for me. I love him.
Yah 😻
What a genius he is. Absolutely love optimism!!!

I remember the first Finneas song I heard, Break My Heart Again, it blew me away. He continues to write so much great stuff. Love it!
his songs are so honest and deep. his writing is beautiful. it kinda of connect with people in a way that make the song so real and close to the listener. idk if i’m making sense rn but that’s what it feels to me, and i’m really grateful for it

finneas and claudia are so well spoken
his writing is incredible and probably has written the lyrics that are some of the most painful for me to hear but in the best way.
MOOOM! Finneas is doing a Genius Interview!
- Candace
Hahahaha I missed those memes. That's how I actually got into Finneas' music in first place!
@@JenniferHorna lol glad to see you miss the nostalgia
This is just the behind the lyrics we needed
Under-rated artist!!!!!!! Stream OPTIMIST 🕺🕺🕺🕺🕺🕺🕺🕺
This is literally my new fav song!
Not really your racist
@@ronell1235 they’re the same race! They have the same parents!
he IS billie, he produces her
@@Chloe_Anna123 omg not to the people in the video to all blacks out there who face discrimination everyday thx to all these trump supporters
@@masoudmaani ahhh I stand corrected
"I'm not jealous but I'm a serial overthinker" Damnn Finneas 💯
The lyrics pierces through your soul so hard just because of how true it is Finneas you are a true modern poet so much to learn from your musical and writing skills you are truly an inspiration.
Finneas a great singer and he deserves more recognition worldwide, he is my favorite singer and Billie my favorite singer, I love them 💓
50% understand the meaning
50% admire his deep magical Voice
🖤✨
Bro optimist is a NO SKIP ALBUM I love EVERY SONG on that album my fav is prob what they’ll say about us!!!! Please just go listen to it and forget any preconceived notion’s you may or may not have because this album is insane!!
Do you know the story behind that song? He wrote it for someone who’s husband was dying of COVID while she was pregnant with his child.
So beautiful
@@thebloodybaron7 yes I did know that it’s so heartbreaking 💔
This is the most amazing talented human I’ve ever seen! Favorite song on the album so far is “Love Is Pain”
this was an entire therapy session and i love it
I feel so proud of Finn
I’ve never really listened to him before this but now I’m very interested in the way his brain works.
Why do I have tears in my eyes watching an interview of Finneas explaining "love is pain" ?
Because you have the emotional depth of a two year old?
i wish he'd sung the lyrics he has an angelic voice
he's such a smart person and it shows in his songwriting. i love the way he phrases stuff and puts emotion into words
Can I just sit and listen to Finneas all day? Yes, always.
This was so beautiful and articulate, love Finneas!
This depth and strength of feelings, and this power to express it this way!!! Amazing ❤
The way Finneas writes his songs is so eloquently getting the message across, it almost makes you think this video would be unnecessary but somehow it wasn't.
I am so glad Finneas exists, such a genius.
this is poetry
he’s so talented 💔💔
his album is incredible!! i can’t stop listening to it
Finneas is absolutely brilliant. I saw him in November and it was one of the best concerts I have ever gone to and up close. I saw him in November and he was beyond amazing. I'm a music snob and I'm 51. He did 20 songs in a row playing the piano and different guitars and no breaks! Finneas is a genuine talented musician. Love him and Billie!
how someone can explain their thoughts so well
I like that he is a role model for this generation, a voice saying yes it may be hard but it’s worth it.
In a world where people use people and love things instead it’s nice to see this type of song.
Love makes the world go round.
So creative and inspiring, love you finneas : )
Every Finneas song is a masterpiece❤

We needed Finn on Genius🖤

i love that recites the lyrics like a poem
IM NOT CRYING YOU ARE OMG IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS MOMENT
I love this song soooo much, it's my come to whenever it gets tough. This song and 'only a lifetime'. Really masterpieces!
Oh man I am bawling. He communicates himself so well.

This is probably the most real and honest song that I have ever heard
Wow.
Very creative, thought provoking and inspiring! Thanks for this! 🙌

you don’t know how much time I’ve waited for that video.
I'm so grateful to be here this early for such a video
FINNEAS I LOVE THIS SONG. And I‘m not throwing around that word bc I really do.
That fashion choice is a CALCULATED one and I’m here for it
I love this! Definitely one of my favorites. Finneas is great. Such beautiful and rich storytelling. 💖
brought out so much meaning and depth to the lyrics of this song. anddd the Pfizer jacket got me 😂🔥
I feel like I'm hearing some of these lyrics for the first time and it's so beautiful. Finneas is a genius.
Finneas is an amazing artist and producer, the "Prince" of our time IMHO---
Finneas is such a beautiful person, hes such an artist and passionate about his art
he is amazing
My God I love the album I am literally excited to hear it God finneas I love the album
i love his pfizer jacket
One is caught up playing the impassioned protagonist in one’s Subjective Narrative of Self 🎈
HE IS SO AMAZING I LOVE HIM SO MUCH, STREAM OPTIMIST YOU GUYSSS
How did This Young Man, escape our world? he could not have said it any better I swear to God love him love him love him
this video made me realize i want him to read me poems to sleep. that deep voice hello
That might sound a bit cliché and honestly it never happened to me before but I barely listen to what he was saying, his eyes caught all of my attention.
Unique
I want to find this man and hug him. Love this song to bits.
I am yet to find a Finneas song i haven't loved... absolutely love his music ❤
finneas is so underrated
Best summary of life in 8 minutes I've ever heard.
I bet you this is one of the only meaningful genius interviews recently. I know it’s somewhat tired to say this and suddenly uncool, but I genuinely appreciate that he is making real, deep, meaningful music. The radio lacks that more and more these days. Who knows, maybe I’m just emotional because I’m going through a rough patch, but this album touched me. Finneas deserves all the happiness in the world.
(BTW I’m 19… not a boomer)
I've been waiting for this!
Hope he discusses Only A Lifetime too
Amazing album, amazing song and amazing guy 💖
With his voice, I’d watch these for each of his songs in the album.
finneas wearing a cool pfizer jacket ✨
I'll never get over this song
All of his songs are truly masterpieces, hes my fav (:
Great breakdown, but I really wish he had sung those beautiful lines. Break My Heart Again is still my favorite. Finneas has one of the best voices in the industry and outside the industry right now, and no one can convince me otherwise. Super underrated.
Oh Finneas!! What a great artist you are!
His voice while speaking is so deep...but I love it!!
Therapy < Finneas
But that pfizer jacket tho 🤩🤩🤩
