His vocals on all 3 songs are beautiful, but set me free is breathtaking. And after reading the GQ interview, it pulls at your heartstrings even more. Proud of him.
Not only my favourite song from the three, but by far the most meaningful. I cried when i first heard it, and reading the gq article made me feel even more
@@sanskrutis5778 I know! I looked into it and was so impressed by the work they were able to produce. They are so talented. Can't wait to see more of Josh's music and hopefully for Sarah to be more involved in Sabrina's projects
incase you didn’t know. this song is more about his past and dealing with being SA for most of his life and how he’s delt with it growing up. he talks more about it, along with his other two songs in his GQ interview, as well as his interview on the zach sang show.
his songwriting skills are impeccable. his vocal range is gorgeous. his vulnerability is powerful. he is just so honest and as a listener, it makes me feel so connected to his music. it's inspiring.
I love him so much and the thought of him suffering and having to go through everything he went through... He did not deserve any of that. The fact that he's gone through so much shit in his life since he was a child and he still chooses to be a nice person, really says a lot about him. He donates so much money to different charities and causes he cares about, I wish people cared more about him as a person and didn't focus on anything else. In case you haven't, you should totally check his interview with Zach Sang, it's heartbreaking but so worth watching x
Me here having the worst year in 2021, severe anxiety knocked the door, got rejected from my dream college, realized I hated my career choice, dropped out of college...anyway, loved this song from Joshua, I feel like, in a sense, ending this three song series with Set me free is setting the boundaries for the situation as a whole, like I just said everything I felt like needed to be said and now I'll close this chapter. I hope it works out that way for him, loved you reaction as always!
If you have the time id really really recommend watching his interview with Zach Sang. It's INCREDIBLE. He's so so inspiring and just such a beautiful human being and deserves he world. In the interview he'd opened up about a lot that happened to him in the last year. It's about an hour and half but pls watch it if you have the time. You'll love it!
I’m actually a silent watcher and I never write comments but tbh Hannah, you’re one of the persons that saved my 2021. Just wanted to let u know this :) you’re not alone
He does something that Lauv does that i love. Every chorus he'll have the upper octave but he also be singing the lower octave. In here he makes the lower octave barely audible but it provides that extra layer and harmony. Its so great
I’ve heard from heaps of people that the harmonies are all him!!! And also all three videos are each one-shot because they had a really small budget, which makes the beauty and brilliance of them even more outstanding 😭💗
she uploads a reaction to “set me free” on my birthday!! im so excited i LOVE this song 😆 the vocals, the meaning behind it, just everything about it is great!
shit. i just read the gq interview he did and I now know why I connected so deeply to this song. I was already relating the song to my own trauma but then to find out that he wrote it about incredibly similar, near identical experiences... Damn. a craftsman and a fighter.
im crying. josh expressed his feelings so well in this song and ive never been through a break up but wow- i like know how it feels. im actually speechless-
why not? i love both of them so much they are allowed to say how they felt and what they’ve been through, sour is what olivia was feeling at that time and that’s perfectly fine, josh is able to do that too. they both deserve the world
@@kellypineda_ probably because joshua’s songs give some insight into the affect olivia’s songs had on him. not the songs themselves, but how her fans treated him, dragging him through the dirt and sending him death threats, because of the songs. this isn’t saying olivia wasn’t allowed to tell her side of the story, nor that i (or op) dislike her songs, just that it’s hard for some people to listen to them without thinking about joshua and the affect the songs had on him.
@@karlistack743 oh absolutely. as much as i like the rest of the song, that line really rubbed me the wrong way, as someone who has struggled a lot with mental health and needing therapy. at first it was just a really snarky lyric but given what we know now, it’s so disgusting.
@@svftmgc at my first listenings, I thought it was angsty teenager stuff but that line always took me the fuck out bc of how out of context and straightforward it is, and now with context, it is like... well they didn't put that much thought into the lyrics didn't they?? because otherwise its straight-up saltiness and evil, like how on earth did you thought this was a good an idea at all, it is like the blonde thing, that rhymes aren't worth it and you just call out people out of the blue, people that already targeted and probably worried about seems weak or struggling in an industry that feeds of that.
i don’t know why but i teared up at the end - your videos are like a tiny bit of therapy haha. thank u for caring for us hannah, hope you’re taking care of yourself, too
fun fact: he said at an interview that something he would never do again is sing in the wrong way bc he didnt know how to breathe and stuff like that and now he would never go back to that! we love the power of a trained vocalist🥺💗
Was gonna say, that the “choir of angels” is actually just Joshua’s voice layered on top of each other a bunch of times. But choir of angels, choir of Joshua’s. It’s basically the same thing…😅🤷🏻♂️🥹
yes same i completely connect to this one, and also to finally diving deeper into my mental health in 2021 too. it's been a f*cking year and these HARMONIES WILL RELEASE MY TEARS ABOUT IT it's legitimately my new favorite song and i feel for him so much more somehow
So one thing he mentioned when he released these songs. All three of these videos were done on the same weekend. All done in one take and he had difficulty getting his record company to cover the costs of the videos. If I am remembering correctly. But yes he is incredible. So are you Hannah
I loooove seeing your reactions to videos in general and definitely to Joshua's music! The combination of this video, which is simple but sooo beautiful, his voice which is just IMPRESSIVE, his top notes which are a dream and his lyrics, which are...tbh raw, vulnerable, simple, but emotionally soooo strong - I just feel like he REALLY knows what he's doing and he makes me wanna see him live soooo badly!! 😍😍
Joshua deserves so much more! This song is so powerful so please everyone stop giving this guy so much hate. No one understands what a person is going through in the inside:(
Absolutely no hate to Olivia but I'll forever be on his side in all of this... He suffered so much just because people decided he was to blame for everything...
@@liviegrande460 wait but what about the lines “your not the love that I fell for” and “I hope you know that I still care about you dearly” that doesn’t sound like it’s about SA
If you haven’t watched the zack sang show with joshua basset please watch it. it shows how much josh has been through and how amazing of a person he truly is.
Hannah, I’d love to see you react to more of his songs. He has a song called “Telling Myself” that is great and one that he made with Olivia Rodrigo called “Just for a moment”. I’d also love to see you continue to watch HSMTMTS. The songs get so much better and so does the drama
2021 was a terrible year for me. Listening to songs like this, it's just nice to know that I'm not alone in that experience. And ya know the stellar vocals, amazing arrangement, and powerful music video helped a lil too.
PLEASE react to songs from Tick, Tick…BOOM! I’d LOVE to hear what you think of a lot of the songs!! Specifically: Therapy, Sunday, Louder Than Words, Why, and Johnny Can’t Decide
2021 really was a fuckimg year for me. It was the year I finally stood up to my family about my sexuality and standing up for myself and stopped going to their anti-lgbtq+ church which led to me being kicked out of home THREE TIMES and I forgave them and went back EACH TKME and I was betrayed by 5 ppl that I went through so much with and hurt by, not to mention that rollercoaster that was my mental health. When I heard that line for the first time I just broke down right then and there bc goddammit it really was a fuckimg year 😭
I loved all 3 songs. Like Joshua didn't have to go that hard on this ep. But he did, and I appreciate the hell out of it. It really gets me everytime he goes quiet and then the choir roars again.
hey hannah!!! just wanted to say this is the first time watching a vid in a little bit, and your new setup looks great!! im so proud to see thos channel grow and to know i was here early!!
Loved watching you react to all of Joshua Bassett's new songs. I always enjoy your reactions. They're educational and fun. I'd love it if you could react to Savannah Keyes Worry About. I love her voice and the song is so well constructed. I'd love to hear your take on it.
Love your videos Hannah your the best and you make my day whenever I watch your videos everyone goes through those hard times and I’m just glad your in a good place right now I was recently going through something with my family and I’m started to come to terms with it and watching your videos and other videos on RUclips always cheer me up so thank you and I love Joshua basset to idk how many times I’ve listened to this song love it and secret and crisis all of his music is awesome 🤩
Your videos always brighten my day! I live in Utah too! Hopefully you’ll do a meet and greet or something so I can meet you. You are so cool and I always look forward to you posting.
His vocals on all 3 songs are beautiful, but set me free is breathtaking. And after reading the GQ interview, it pulls at your heartstrings even more. Proud of him.
All three songs hit a lot more after his interview with Zach Sang
@@canadiancatdog1236 of course :’(
@@canadiancatdog1236 That interview was just... wow.
It isbmy fav from all 3
@@gameplayezssoiinnychgier300 same, at first it was secret, but I mean 😭
Not only my favourite song from the three, but by far the most meaningful. I cried when i first heard it, and reading the gq article made me feel even more
Big same, when I listened to this I cried like a damn baby, and now I'm almost crying again
You need to read the interview he did, he explained the meaning behind the songs and makes the song even more powerful
Is there a link?
Zach sang or the GQ interview cuz both are amazing
The gq one but both are great
The gq one but both are great
The gq one but both are great
“i should probably stop saying fuck, he said it first so it’s probably okay” is the perfect quote
also yeah 2021 was quite the fuckin’ year for me
When you said "I'm ready", I just screamed YOU'RE NOT. I'm still not over this song ✨
SAME 💀
So did I 😂
So proud of Joshua, he truly deserves the world and I hope he’s doing well 🥺❤️
I love how people keep enjoying the simplicity of Josh's MVs when it's simply because he had a low budget and did them as visualizer!
I think the fact that the quality is so good even though it was low budget speaks volumes on how talented the creative directors were
@@pearllam5773 Sarah Carpenter and Josh himself have been credited as the creative directors of all three! A powerful and talented duo!
@@sanskrutis5778 I know! I looked into it and was so impressed by the work they were able to produce. They are so talented. Can't wait to see more of Josh's music and hopefully for Sarah to be more involved in Sabrina's projects
Hahahahaahah so perfect
@@sanskrutis5778 Yes! I'm really hoping to see Josh pursue more directing of things!

it isn’t about his sa experience he said it himself in the interview that set me free has nothing to do with that.
@@Zay-yv9co but he did tho, or maybe is another song?
@@Zay-yv9co he said it had nothing to do with domestic violence in his child hood, but it is about his SA.
@@Zay-yv9co it is about it. he said it himself
It wasn’t meant to be about that but he remembered it after writing the songs so he added that meaning in :)
his songwriting skills are impeccable. his vocal range is gorgeous. his vulnerability is powerful. he is just so honest and as a listener, it makes me feel so connected to his music. it's inspiring.

yesss
This song never fails to make me cry. It’s just so beautiful and meaningful 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
honestly, during my first listening I was crying. This song is so powerful and strong, I think it's my favorite of Joshua
I’m actually a silent watcher and I never write comments but tbh Hannah, you’re one of the persons that saved my 2021. Just wanted to let u know this :) you’re not alone
when this song came out, i had just put it on repeat for an hour and i cried so hard. so many lyrics in that song just hit home for me
He does something that Lauv does that i love. Every chorus he'll have the upper octave but he also be singing the lower octave. In here he makes the lower octave barely audible but it provides that extra layer and harmony. Its so great
I’ve heard from heaps of people that the harmonies are all him!!! And also all three videos are each one-shot because they had a really small budget, which makes the beauty and brilliance of them even more outstanding 😭💗
Fun fact (I learned this 2 minutes ago lol): The birds in Set Me Free were not intentional. It got me thinking if they symbolize being set free.
she uploads a reaction to “set me free” on my birthday!! im so excited i LOVE this song 😆 the vocals, the meaning behind it, just everything about it is great!
Happy Birthday💙💙💙
Happy birthday!!!
This song already had me in tears but then I found out what it was about and I was an absolute wreck.
shit. i just read the gq interview he did and I now know why I connected so deeply to this song. I was already relating the song to my own trauma but then to find out that he wrote it about incredibly similar, near identical experiences... Damn. a craftsman and a fighter.
I relate to this song so much, and I think everyone can because of its simple honest truth. So beautiful.
i woke up this morning thinking about how i wanted you to react to this song soon! i manifested this 😌😌
I JUST STOPPED WHAT I WAS DOING, I WAS SO EXCITED FOR THIS VIDEO
SAME
He is such a beautiful human with the most beautiful voice, wow just wow
Honestly, I love that the more people hear his music, the more people love him. He’s amazingly talented and deserves so much more credit than he gets.
im crying. josh expressed his feelings so well in this song and ive never been through a break up but wow- i like know how it feels. im actually speechless-
11:27 Hannah, I WAS NOT PREPARED FOR THIS-
*totally doesn't cry*
I can't listen to Good 4 U or Drivers License anymore without thinking about Joshua and what he's been thru.
why not? i love both of them so much they are allowed to say how they felt and what they’ve been through, sour is what olivia was feeling at that time and that’s perfectly fine, josh is able to do that too. they both deserve the world

this song is literally therapy. he put his whole heart in this song 🥲
You should react to the ENCANTO soundtrack its soooo good!!!! 💗💗
YESS
I WAS JUST COMING TO RECOMMEND IT
This. This here was my reaction.Waking up at 4am to watch the premier was worth it
Fun fact: today is lie lie lie anniversary! Happy 1 year to this amazing Josh's song!
Ahhh I love Josh sooo much!! He is soo underatted and his vocals are everything!! 💕💕I’ve been waiting for this reaction, yay!!! Love you Hannah!
GIRLL YOU TOOK SO LONG, I WAS WAITING FOR THIS, MY FAV FOR SURE
THIS IS WHAT IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THANK YOU HANNAH SO MUCH I LOVE THIS VIDEO

I love all 3 songs, but this one is phenomenal
I was waiting for thissssss!!!!
Joshua deserves so much more! This song is so powerful so please everyone stop giving this guy so much hate. No one understands what a person is going through in the inside:(
Me: Surely she's reacted to Encanto already.
Also me: wait... she's *not* talking about Bruno?!
Absolutely no hate to Olivia but I'll forever be on his side in all of this... He suffered so much just because people decided he was to blame for everything...
this song tho was about dealing with SA his life :(
Exactly! People would play her songs over and over again in stores until he left and he was getting death threats.... I feel so bad for him :(
Yeah Olivia can get lost.
@@liviegrande460 wait but what about the lines “your not the love that I fell for” and “I hope you know that I still care about you dearly” that doesn’t sound like it’s about SA
@@lilliannae8030 it is! He confirmed it somewhere I can’t remember where tho but it’s about SA :)
This is really a great song, so vulnerable for him, I loved it, also love you reacting to this!!
This channel has turned me into a total Joshua Bassett stan.
If you haven’t watched the zack sang show with joshua basset please watch it. it shows how much josh has been through and how amazing of a person he truly is.

2021 was in fact.. a F*CKING YEAR! Here's to a better 2022 for all of us! ❤️
After I read his GQ article, I can’t listen to this song without at least tearing up
So had an f×@&!ng 2020,2021, here's hoping 2022 is better... it already is finally hearing this song for the first time!thank you love
Hannah it's now time to react to Joshua's new ep especially the song Lifeline !!
I GET CHILLS EVERYTIME
I love this song so much! Love ur reactions to all three
2021 was a terrible year for me. Listening to songs like this, it's just nice to know that I'm not alone in that experience. And ya know the stellar vocals, amazing arrangement, and powerful music video helped a lil too.
when i first heard the song at the beginning i had it my head i wasn’t going to like but it was just so powerful he immediately changed my mind
yes i’ve been waiting for this one ! set me free is definitely my favorite. it just seems so meaningful
PLEASE react to songs from Tick, Tick…BOOM! I’d LOVE to hear what you think of a lot of the songs!! Specifically: Therapy, Sunday, Louder Than Words, Why, and Johnny Can’t Decide
I love every song that he ever released but these three songs are UNBELIEVABLE!!!
I love him so much 😭 I relate so much to this song.
Omg yes!! Been waiting on this!! Just got his hoodie merch for this song yesterday
YESSS i’ve been waiting for you to react to this one it’s so beautiful
TOLD YOU! knew you would love this! Glad you did this one, it’s special
I JUST DROPPED EVERYTHING FOR THIS
tell me about it
The loveliest human beings in the world have been waiting for this video✌🥰✌
I was waiting for your reaction of this song 😍 Thank you Hannah!
Another fun fact Hannah is that when he says "didnt know if Id survive" is becuase he went to the hospital and had a very high chance of dieing
I usually skip the parts of videos where creators talk about their sponsors but your ones are always so interesting!
I was honestly waiting for her reaction.
YES IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS
I could finally sleep with knowing you’ve done all of them
aaaaaaa MEU DEUS EU TAVA ESPEERANDO POR ESSE VÍDEO SOCORRO
SIMMMMM
2021 WAS A F**KING YEAR! like 4 very close family members passed away! I had so much depression, anxiety, that line hit different
Finally I feel like I’ve been waiting forever for this one !!!!
no literally because it hits so close to home, i cry at it every single time.
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONEz
. YESSSSSSSS
2021 really was a fuckimg year for me.

When I heard that line for the first time I just broke down right then and there bc goddammit it really was a fuckimg year 😭
2021 was a year of a breakup that was public within our friends, totally related to this song and it's my favorite out of all the 3s
this and let you go are my favourite songs of his ever!
Love the content. Huge fan of Joshua (and Olivia) but the emotions from Josh are so powerful. Love the videos, keep it up Hannah!!
this is literally my fave song and reaction ever :)
I loved all 3 songs. Like Joshua didn't have to go that hard on this ep. But he did, and I appreciate the hell out of it. It really gets me everytime he goes quiet and then the choir roars again.
2021 was truly a fucking year, but your channel was definitely a bright place for me to go to.

Never realized how amazing Joshua's voice was, and I have never thought about his side of his and Olivia's breakup.

HANNAH IVE BEEN WAITING FOR 300 YEARS FINALLY
After watching all of ur Joshua Bassett videos, I’ve subscribed lol 👌🏼💯
I really cried hearing this song after the Zach Sang interview.
Your videos always brighten my day! I live in Utah too! Hopefully you’ll do a meet and greet or something so I can meet you. You are so cool and I always look forward to you posting.
