I've heard the song about a couple of times now, I don't know whether it's inspired by a real-life story or a fictional one but the line "Somewhere in the clouds, Davey's runnin' for a touchdown" is such a bittersweet and poignant way of honoring the death of someone
Im pretty sure ik halsey enough that she wouldn't make that up. I'm sure she used his nickname..but mentioning his mother..thats Halsey's pure heart all the way
I was re-watching "Panic Attack" Live for the millionth time because I'm obsessed, and then suddenly I got the notification about this, and now I can't go back!
I can’t help but love this album more and more, the dedication and diligence put into the videos 100/10. I love how it takes me back. It’s just.. perfectly and effortlessly… Lyrically…. This album does a great job of telling a story… every aspect of this is just wow… lovely…
No genuinely. She doesn’t get enough recognition in the industry. Manic and IICHLIWP deserved Grammy noms at the very least. The Great Impersonator is another beautifully written and produced album and I hope the public recognizes her talent this time.
THE CONFIDENT QUEEN YOU ARE. The way Halsey performs is so satisfying to see and her voice so beautiful to hear❤ This album could be one of her saddests' but its energy is insane. She's truly a gem and one of the most interesting and complete artists out there!
I listened to this whole album on the way home from Los Angeles to Pomona where I live. I cried many times on that ride. What a masterpiece you’ve created Ashley… it’s deep. Conveys emotions on ever level. And you can tell u put everything you were feeling through ur hardship into this album. For sure one of the best albums of the year. Thank you
OH, MAN! This song was already amazing, but this performance really strips it back in the most elegant way! Perfectly capturing the Halsey that is inspired by Dolly.
LYRICS: Davey died in the summertime in a hot-boxed car With a seatbelt 'round his neck and a needle in his arm We would smoke out in the parking lot behind convenience shops I bought a couple of grams of weed off him, but so did all the cops Back then The kids from all the county, we would walk out in the heat Along the train tracks with our paper bags and gravel in our feet In our heads, we picked a husband from the hundred men we knew But I kissed a poster of a pop star and checked my breasts in case they grew There ain't a reason on this earth I'd go back to my hometown Somewhere in the clouds, Davey's running for a touchdown The crowd appears and his mother cheers, she's waving from the field And he's evergreen at seventeen for the last eleven years You know, I never felt like anyone, I was a paradox, ol' lie I didn't think that I was special, but I was too afraid to die Like the others from my high school, all those sad suburban ghosts Trapped in a cross next to a highway while the rest of us get old There ain't a reason on this earth I'd go back to my hometown Somewhere in the clouds, Davey's running for a touchdown The crowd appears and his mother cheers, she's waving from the field And he's evergreen at seventeen for the last eleven years The American dream means staying young forever In a picture in a pamphlet, getting yellow from the weather And years will pass since science class, and I might forget your name But when the crow's feet come, to kingdom come, you'll always look the same There ain't a reason on this earth I'd go back to my hometown Somewhere in the clouds, Davey's running for a touchdown The crowd appears and his mother cheers, and he's waving from the field He's evergreen at seventeen for the last eleven years Listen to my song "Sunday Trance" ruclips.net/video/CDjSzBN0688/видео.html
God bless you hun your music is a legend for those who understand it God used your music not only to comfort me and I loved it but to wake me up thank you dear Marshall V from Kansas
this is amazing and i love the way she looks up while singing "somewhere in the clouds davey's running for a touchdown" as if she was seeing the scene unfold
What an incredible experience! Hometown beautifully blends Halsey’s unique style with country charm, especially with that subtle nod to Dolly Parton’s sound. The production is authentic, from the visuals to the small details. It’s amazing to see Halsey’s evolution and creativity shine through!🫶🏻🫶🏻
Her voice is so unbelievably beautiful and powerful, Halsey never disappoints us. New album is amazing
I saw some hater comment on one of the other videos that she needs a vocal coach, I think they need a hearing test lol
THE ICONIC WASHBOARD ON THE NAILS 😭😭😭🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶
That's that country singer and dolly Parton did it
Thank you ruclips.net/video/BXN3EDPrMy4/видео.htmlsi=j2EKXFuYvnk6rXGS
Definitely a dolly thing. That’s how she wrote 9-5
@@dragonlady3278 yup
The song was inspired by Dolly so that makes sense
"And he's evergreen at seventeen for the last eleven years" 😢what a sweet way of saying he died young and it was years go

So real I can’t relate but this song really strikes me
Im pretty sure ik halsey enough that she wouldn't make that up. I'm sure she used his nickname..but mentioning his mother..thats Halsey's pure heart all the way
The story is true, she is talking about his brother's best friend. The only thing i'm not sure of is that being his real name
@@jackieolazaba8887 how do you know
@@jimbob2427 cuz she wrote a poem about it on “I would leave me if I could”, the name of the poem is “seventeen” page 130🫡
"There ain't a reason on this earth I'd go back to my hometown"
YES HALSEY ME TOO! 🍓🍓🍓🥳🥳🥳
YES, honestly, most hometown songs are talking about how great it is. I'm like no thank you lol
1:16 the homage to Dolly with the nails omg 😭
I was re-watching "Panic Attack" Live for the millionth time because I'm obsessed, and then suddenly I got the notification about this, and now I can't go back!
omg she did that thing with nails that dolly does lol love that
This era is everything
It truly is!
I don't know if I'm going to survive Lonely is the Muse on Wednesday
@@Alty-Souls omg riiight 😭😭
I want a performance of all the songs from the album omg
the nails being used as percussion is so iconic
I can’t help but love this album more and more, the dedication and diligence put into the videos 100/10. I love how it takes me back. It’s just.. perfectly and effortlessly… Lyrically…. This album does a great job of telling a story… every aspect of this is just wow… lovely…
Dolly would love this! I hope she has heard it or will soon!
How is she still underrated? ARE PPL DEAF AND BLIND????
No genuinely. She doesn’t get enough recognition in the industry. Manic and IICHLIWP deserved Grammy noms at the very least.
The Great Impersonator is another beautifully written and produced album and I hope the public recognizes her talent this time.
@@CidTheNadielove and power was actually nominated
@@DumebiIlohyeah but she was ROBBED
@@DumebiIlohreally?? I don't remember that. For album of the year?
i think she was not under appreciated during her manic era but since iichliwp people have been sleeping on her
The nail scratches near mic😍
Dolly Parton did that to that one song, and I believe another country singer did it too. I forget dang it 😢
@@atrofa1913 if you remember, could you please tell the name of Dolly's song?
@@lipsihaskev I think it's called 9-5.
@@satarupagingerkolay thanks!
Yessss so asmr coded 😂😂
The best vocals that can transcend genres 🩷❤️ I’m not the biggest country / folk fan but when Halsey does it I’m obsessed !
ASHLEY YOU GOTTO PROMISE US THAT YOU WON'T DIE
cause we need you 😭😭
and you know that we're right

LYRICS:
Davey died in the summertime in a hot-boxed car
With a seatbelt 'round his neck and a needle in his arm
We would smoke out in the parking lot behind convenience shops
I bought a couple of grams of weed off him, but so did all the cops
Back then
The kids from all the county, we would walk out in the heat
Along the train tracks with our paper bags and gravel in our feet
In our heads, we picked a husband from the hundred men we knew
But I kissed a poster of a pop star and checked my breasts in case they grew
There ain't a reason on this earth I'd go back to my hometown
Somewhere in the clouds, Davey's running for a touchdown
The crowd appears and his mother cheers, she's waving from the field
And he's evergreen at seventeen for the last eleven years
You know, I never felt like anyone, I was a paradox, ol' lie
I didn't think that I was special, but I was too afraid to die
Like the others from my high school, all those sad suburban ghosts
Trapped in a cross next to a highway while the rest of us get old
There ain't a reason on this earth I'd go back to my hometown
Somewhere in the clouds, Davey's running for a touchdown
The crowd appears and his mother cheers, she's waving from the field
And he's evergreen at seventeen for the last eleven years
The American dream means staying young forever
In a picture in a pamphlet, getting yellow from the weather
And years will pass since science class, and I might forget your name
But when the crow's feet come, to kingdom come, you'll always look the same
There ain't a reason on this earth I'd go back to my hometown
Somewhere in the clouds, Davey's running for a touchdown
The crowd appears and his mother cheers, and he's waving from the field
He's evergreen at seventeen for the last eleven years
Listen to my song "Sunday Trance"
