Something to notice that adds to the brilliance of this piece: It is shot in a single camera view from start to finish. No cuts. No edits. Visual ballet.
Most of Billie's songs are co-written with Finneas but this is one of the few that Finneas wrote solely. But Billie felt she really identified with the song and that's evident in her performance. The video and visuals are all Bille; she was making videos to her favorite songs in her backyard at age 9. This video was inspired by a piece of fan art. Great reaction - totally enjoyed it.
Excellent reaction. Her videos are usually amazing. She is deeply involved in the color choices, down to which angles she wants to cameras to pan, etc. She recently started to direct her newest videos herself.
Drinking down the darkness in your life with no choice but to do so & how it exudes from every part of your being until it consumes you and you become that darkness. Tears leak from my eyes every time I watch this, my chest constricts and the emotions flow- such is the reaction to Billie. PLEASE do more, all her songs are great but the videos are always art also, telling a story of their own each time.
For a first time view you nailed the meaning of it. Billie co-writes her songs with her brother, but this is all Finneas writing. The two of them are very complementary with each other, on more then one occasion Billie has called Finneas the best writer she knows. Loved your reaction. She does a live cover of "The End of the World - Radio 1 Piano Sessions" it's another top performance by Billie.
Billie's album is an absolutely brilliant piece of craft. Her music is best listened to with intent, there is so many subtleties to be found. The opposite of "cookie cutter" pop, there is fantastic depth to the music she and her brother create.
Watched many reactions and possible breakdowns of this video/song. Really enjoyed your take. Billie Eilish says this video came out *exactly* how she envisioned & Finneas says he can't watch this video without shedding a tear.
The song and video changed meaning for me each time i watched it for the first 10 times i watched it. Her and Finneas, her brother, pretty much leave their songs up for your interpretation
Absolutely. ..incredible absolutely straight ten's an ten's all day long for your outstanding breakdown thanku so much .absolutely beautiful love an god bless x
Who are you and how have I not watched any of your videos before??? This was one of the best reactions I have seen! It was authentic and you interpreted it perfectly during the first listen... Wow. Want to see more Billie reactions please. Think you would appreciate her "end of the world" live cover. Her best performance ever - full of emotions. Please consider watching it
This is still my favorite release from Billie Eilish. Just a gorgeous song. You should listen to Lewis Capaldis cover of this song. Just as heartbreaking but in a completely different way.
This was the first video I’ve watched of yours and I subscribed! I love when people see and hear music the same way I do! You totally understood the video. Awesome reaction!
love this song , so emotional... i just think she made it very bare especially for the purpose of free interpretation. I could watch it 10 times and have a different theory everytime . i just love her music you should really react to her more.. She is actually an Aurora fan !! Great reaction as always have a great day.
Man I like your reactions 🙌 Always breaking the songs down, and you really seem to appreciate the artists, no matter the genre. Twenty one pilots brought me here months ago, and I've been hooked since, and I even like their music more now, after listening to you break some of the songs down! Would love to see a reaction to Billies song "Lovely" Keep doing your thing, and stay safe! ✌
I think you're absolutely right with your opinion of the song and the voice of Billie Eilish. I would be interested to know what you say about the live version (Tiny desk) of *my future* about her.
All your interpretation of songs and mine have been the same so far, but we went in different directions with this one. I agree with the abusive relationship, but i interpreted as her getting hurt by her partner. Also the line call me friend but keep me closer I saw it as you kow that "saying keep your friends close but your enemies closer" I saw it as she wants to be loved by him but she notices that he doesn't love her or trust her and he is treating her like an enemy instead of someone who he cares for I love your reactions I will continue to watch💛
I’m way late to post, but I’ve seen only one other person interpret this song and video the way I had… the song is really about a 1-sided “relationship”. She’s singing it from the viewpoint where she’s in love with the other person and they see it as friends with benefits… hence no time for you now, but “I’ll call you when the party’s over.” Video shows how toxic this kind of relationship is… trying to be friends without catching feelings, which totally backfires. You see she takes a little sip, but then drinks it all after that little taste. That little glass causes all those tears until that toxicity totally consumes her at the end. That friends with benefits scenario causes all her heartbreak cause the other person doesn’t feel the same about her. She can lie and says she likes it like that, but truly doesn’t.
I doubt Billie has ever done more than a little weed or had this intense of a relationship. She can’t even legally drink yet. She’s just this good a writer.
Maaan, I love Billie as well. Her take on songs are kinda surreal but it makes sense. I dont know how to explain it, but she's really a one of a kind artist too. Wish you could also look more into Melanie Martinez. I always like to think that she and Billie are similar in a different way. You'll get more of that feel when you hear more recent Melanie songs.
“Winter” by Tori Amos live from the Montreaux Jazz Festival is another conceptual brilliant gem of a song. Have a feeling you’d really appreciate it. 🙂
i second Kims "request" for lovely, i actually think i requested it a while back on the website but knowing he has like 4000 requests we just need to have some patience
you must start with her AGT audition at 14, her first internet song. also check out finneas mcconnell her bro and co writer, musician and he has his own ep out. there are three vanity fair interviews you will enjoy. i enjoy your style and insight
I would love to see your reaction to "Zombie" by Day6 - ruclips.net/video/k8gx-C7GCGU/видео.html The visuals in the music video and lyrics are a perfect representation of depression in my opinion. It's a really emotional piece of music.
Love the channel, but you pause and rewind so often that you lose the flow of the song and miss key building points, crescendos, etc. I'd recommend letting things payout slightly more and then taking longer pauses.

One of my favourites by Billie, always gives me chills watching it. Should check out more of her music videos.
Loved this, would love to see your reaction to her song "xanny" she directed the video for it (and most of her others) herself
i agree, and the lyrics of Xanny are amazing
And he would actually be listening to the song the right way!!! With HEADPHONES
One of the only reactors I go to for music to be explained to me haha always an awesome reaction!
Drinking down the darkness in your life with no choice but to do so & how it exudes from every part of your being until it consumes you and you become that darkness.
Tears leak from my eyes every time I watch this, my chest constricts and the emotions flow- such is the reaction to Billie.
PLEASE do more, all her songs are great but the videos are always art also, telling a story of their own each time.
This is my most listened to Billie song 💙 it’s so beautiful. Your reaction and breakdown were spot on 🙌🏻
For a first time view you nailed the meaning of it. Billie co-writes her songs with her brother, but this is all Finneas writing.

This is one of my favorites by her. Beautiful and powerful. Great reaction, friend!
Billie's album is an absolutely brilliant piece of craft. Her music is best listened to with intent, there is so many subtleties to be found. The opposite of "cookie cutter" pop, there is fantastic depth to the music she and her brother create.
Very beautiful song...great reaction as always!
Watched many reactions and possible breakdowns of this video/song. Really enjoyed your take. Billie Eilish says this video came out *exactly* how she envisioned & Finneas says he can't watch this video without shedding a tear.
Awe YES... Thanks so much for this... It's not was I asking for but hey that's a great surprise for me... Thanks to who ever requested this ☺️
I can't stop watching this video
My favourite Billie Eilish song. You should check out this performed at the Grammy' s. It's so beautiful and sad, brings tears to my eyes every time.
The song and video changed meaning for me each time i watched it for the first 10 times i watched it. Her and Finneas, her brother, pretty much leave their songs up for your interpretation
I would like to formally welcome you to the Billie Eilish fan club. She is above and bound every one else. All the love
Absolutely. ..incredible absolutely straight ten's an ten's all day long for your outstanding breakdown thanku so much .absolutely beautiful love an god bless x

Bring Me The Horizon did a great cover too! :)
Reaction well done, sir. You see what she's doing, so many people don't get it, or can't see past the novel effects. Thank you!
This was the first video I’ve watched of yours and I subscribed! I love when people see and hear music the same way I do! You totally understood the video. Awesome reaction!

I LOVE this review and you perception of this track so much. Thank you!!! Definitely the best reaction/review I’ve seen of this song :) keep it up!!
Man I like your reactions 🙌 Always breaking the songs down, and you really seem to appreciate the artists, no matter the genre.

Lyrics and visuals are deep. Billie hits you hard in this one. Thanks, Filipe.
great review
I actually think that when she says “call me friend but keep me closer “ it alludes to the saying “ keep your friends close but your enemies closer “.
I think you're absolutely right with your opinion of the song and the voice of Billie Eilish. I would be interested to know what you say about the live version (Tiny desk) of *my future* about her.
You Should See me in a Crown vertical video.
All your interpretation of songs and mine have been the same so far, but we went in different directions with this one. I agree with the abusive relationship, but i interpreted as her getting hurt by her partner. Also the line call me friend but keep me closer I saw it as you kow that "saying keep your friends close but your enemies closer" I saw it as she wants to be loved by him but she notices that he doesn't love her or trust her and he is treating her like an enemy instead of someone who he cares for
I love your reactions I will continue to watch💛
Oh wow.. I actually really like your take on this 👀👀❤️
Bille & Finn write songs based on common sounds, like a cheese grater, squeeky tool, etc.
Your reactions are spot on!
You said its bauteful bees of music... And i say your reaction and your speak is bauteful as the song
I’m way late to post, but I’ve seen only one other person interpret this song and video the way I had… the song is really about a 1-sided “relationship”.

She is genius 🖤🖤🖤🖤🤍
I loved that you liked this, I feel so strongly with this song and video.
Brilliant analysis.
I doubt Billie has ever done more than a little weed or had this intense of a relationship. She can’t even legally drink yet. She’s just this good a writer.
love this song
you are a great channel! i liked your ideas about this video
Hi Fil.. hope ur having a great day... Flat 10's for me ! 💖 Billie Eilish
Maaan, I love Billie as well. Her take on songs are kinda surreal but it makes sense. I dont know how to explain it, but she's really a one of a kind artist too.
Wish you could also look more into Melanie Martinez. I always like to think that she and Billie are similar in a different way. You'll get more of that feel when you hear more recent Melanie songs.
Fun Fact: The video was inspired by a drawing a fan made for her :)
I need share to my friends
“Winter” by Tori Amos live from the Montreaux Jazz Festival is another conceptual brilliant gem of a song. Have a feeling you’d really appreciate it. 🙂

The visuals in the music video and lyrics are a perfect representation of depression in my opinion. It's a really emotional piece of music.
No she drank blood and now she is crying blood
