and she didnt sing again for the chorus after the verse 2, i think she was suppose to sing it less softer at that part to build up the song but she didnt because it hurts her, i think.
I have never in my life heard such a delicate and extremely well made/produced song tbh like how tf did they do this in such a small amount of time especially since there’s soooo much detail down to the most minuscule things and then the ending is so weird and mysterious like when I hear it, it sounds like something straight out of this world it feels like a Easter egg or something I can’t explain it it’s just crazy fascinating this might be the most beautiful and most sad song ever made even if it’s a pain to listen to like even if ur life is going well just the beauty of this song will make u cry and imo this is the best song she as an artist has ever made and I feel like this song doesn’t get the recognition it deserves sadly especially since it was so personal to her :(
these are some time stamps mostly for me later on but have fun :) hope it helped a bit 14:19 - main synth 11:54 - strings 1 12:31- strings 1.2 (I guess?) 12:46 - strings 2 13:46 - more strings ? 14:07 - strings 4 17:41 - actual heaven (synth and strings) 18:20 - ending strings (5) 7:43 - strings 6 8:02 - strings 7 8:38 - strings 8 9:16 - idk what these hits are called 4:48 - harm vocals 3:10 - harm vocals 2 6:20 - this :( 7:00 - pretty shit
@@musicviolamusician4392 im not really sure, I think it was confirmed somewhere, I just saw a lot of people talking about it. of course it could be a rumor
the sad part is that she didn’t even want to release it because of how personal and emotional she kept getting but Scooter forced her to add it to tun 🥹
i really wished people really got to know the struggles she had to go through with this song, poor baby. you can hear her struggling with some of these. ugh. around 3:30 you can hear her struggling ,,, :(((
I saw a few comments about the ending and probably it meaning something very very specific to her, and to me it kind of sounds like a train, as if you were at a station. like when you can hear it approaching in the distance, then as it leaves you get all that wind going past you. that strange sort of eerie twinkling sound mixed with that kind of fluttering idek is also like she feels things disappearing and floating away into the air. the adlibs also sound like this, like the voice effect or filter sounds airy and echoey. yeah I have no idea what it is but it’s so strange but so beautiful at the end, whatever it means to ariana must be special because it makes you feel something so different
i have returned to this video after a while and it still hits esp those strings from 7:58 something abt those strings make me feel very very emotional as if i’ve just lost a life
6:40 - 7:04 gave me Blade Runner vibes. I loved Ghostin (actually the whole album is incredible, no skips) since the first time i heard it but the stems made me love it even more. It's so heavenly. One of her best songs no doubt.
Here are some highlights of the vid :) 4:47 - the hums 17:41 - bliss 7:00 - really beautiful 11:13 - hums and ending noises 12:45 - strings 3:35 - pain in her voice 17:04 through 17:40 and beyond - opening 4:48 - 5:29 - heaven

I think what is so telling about this song is how restrained Ari is in her vocal here. Her phrases are relatively short, revealing its very difficult for her to sing this, as though she is about to cry. And then the falsetto closing is like a cry up into heaven. The strings coming in is just an emotional whirlwind. She absolutely gave it her all to give us this song.
since the very first time i heard this song i knew it would be my favorite one of all ari´s discography, the feelings, the emotions and the deeply/dreamy vibe this masterpiece transmits is just unique, the way its produced, the dedication they all put in, its the most perfect song to me. i respect her decision to doesn´t want to perform this, but i hope someday she will feel comfortable and enoughly encouraged, because this feels the gates to heaven and live would be the LITERAL entrance to heaven, we all love u queen, thank you so much for giving us this walk trough the stars.
the starting of 6:45 , something i cant explain gave me so much nostalgia as if i've been swimming underwater for as long as i could and ive finally been released, by my own positive mindset and always believing i could do it like they way i want to, slowly reaching the top of the ocean i begin to see the light and how it was worth it trying and i was able.
im coming back to this to hear her ending vocals AND THOSE STRINGSSS rlly tugged MY heart strings 💔 literally tearing up as i write this gawd i can feel my heartbreaking again…
@14:10 between 2020-2021 i Lost My Best friend/spiritual father and My Dad due to COVID and cancer.... Those strings marks how i felt during that time... In loving memory for those who we lost family and Friends...
i keep rewatching this video...her most beautiful & sad song ever, but the stems is on another levl, relistening every layer of the instrumental and vocals is just so surreal
hello i am a person living in turkey, music is really universal. The USA and the Americans are very lucky, who brought Ariana Grande and hundreds of stars before her to the world nowadays. Whenever I'm sad and I hear this song at the same time and sometimes I don't know the exact words, it makes me sad. Great sound. a wonderful woman. Everything is so beautiful and this is the saddest song I've ever heard from Ariana. Please know your worth, the value of art and peace is paramount. The value of the artists and people we love, who beautify our days in every sense in our short lives, should be as precious as our lives.
austin hollinger music she’s very upset in this song. She said herself it was very difficult for her to make as it is about mac miller (her ex that passed away fairly recently)
I know you hear me when I cry I try to hold it in the night While you're sleepin' next to me But it's your arms that I need this time (This time) Look at the cards that we've been dealt If you were anybody else Probably wouldn't last a day Every tear's a rain parade from hell (From hell) Baby, you do it so well You been so understanding, you been so good And I'm puttin' you through more than one ever should And I'm hating myself 'cause you don't want to Admit that it hurts you I know that it breaks your heart when I cry again Over him, mmh I know that it breaks your heart when I cry again 'Stead of ghostin' him We'll get through this, we'll get past this, I'm a girl with A whole lot of baggage But I love you, we'll get past this, I'm a girl with A whole lot of baggage, yeah Though I wish he were here instead Don't want that living in your head He just comes to visit me When I'm dreaming every now and then (And then) And after all that we been through (And after all that we been through) There's so much to look forward to What was done and what was said Leave it all here in this bed with you (With you) Baby, you do it so well You been so understanding, you been so good And I'm puttin' you through more than one ever should And I'm hating myself 'cause you don't want to Admit that it hurts you, baby I know that it breaks your heart when I cry again Over him, mmh I know that it breaks your heart when I cry again 'Stead of ghostin' him We'll get through this, we'll get past this, I'm a girl with A whole lot of baggage But I love you, we'll get past this, I'm a girl with A whole lot of baggage, yeah
11:53 - 14:07 is so pretty and so is 17:41 , so are the harmonies at 3:10 and 4:48 ☹️ this song makes me so sad but i love it so much. i have watched this video so many times it's not even funny
3:35 girl… you can feel the pain in that falsetto.
I felt her pain the whole video
:(((
:(
Yes😔💔
For all those addictioned in it that want to hear again, it starts in 3:11.

there’s something so beautiful about hearing her best friends’ vocals in this song
Victoria Monet it's her name

@Squid ☆彡 I thing omnisphere plugin synth

I agree THE SYNTH BRO
Agreed. I even wrote a short film inspired by it
IF THIS ISNT PLAYED AT MY FUNERAL IM NOT GOING
You’d be dead tho? 💀
@@nk0s91rrrrrrrr6 its a joke lol
sunrise kathryn ik ;p
🤣🤣🤣🤣GET OUT
Funeral and wedding day
i believe that ariana was way too depressed to sing another verse, let alone those hidden vocals so she let victoria do it
and she didnt sing again for the chorus after the verse 2, i think she was suppose to sing it less softer at that part to build up the song but she didnt because it hurts her, i think.
Victoria made the song even better imo it’s like she’s carrying Ariana trough the sadness of the song
she said she was too sad to write a bridge so she just harmonized
and tayla
@@Thibow_Nova i agree sm

OMG YES. 2049 sooo underrated, one of the best of the decade period

True.

Probably wouldn't last a day
Every tear's a rain parade from hell (From hell)
Baby, you do it so well
You been so understanding, you been so good
And I'm puttin' you through more than one ever should
And I'm hating myself 'cause you don't want to
Admit that it hurts you

Over him, mmh
I know that it breaks your heart when I cry again

We'll get through this, we'll get past this, I'm a girl with
A whole lot of baggage
But I love you, we'll get past this, I'm a girl with
A whole lot of baggage, yeah
Though I wish he were here instead
Don't want that living in your head
He just comes to visit me
When I'm dreaming every now and then (And then)
And after all that we been through (And after all that we been through)
There's so much to look forward to
What was done and what was said
Leave it all here in this bed with you (With you)
Baby, you do it so well
You been so understanding, you been so good
And I'm puttin' you through more than one ever should
And I'm hating myself 'cause you don't want to
Admit that it hurts you, baby
