Wow!!! Can’t believe all the support on this video. Billie Eilish fans you guys are amazing. Can’t wait to give you more Billie reactions and your other suggestions, much love ❤️
Usually younger people like me resonates with her music but seeing an adult, a father listening this album with his son and feeling every lines and appreciating it, is so sweet.
When dad says 'how is my generation not picking up on this?' my hand went up and I said 'right here!' Lol. I'm 56 and I ADORE Billie Eilish. She is one of my absolute favorite artist. There is no one like her and no one puts words into lyrics like she does. She's not a manufactured artist by a record company. I think of her as an accidental icon. She uploaded 'Ocean Eyes' on SoundCloud for her dance teacher to hear and instead the entire world heard her. And thank God it did ❤️
@@thelorelei1884 her brother was on glee and had a music manger way before she “blew up” so it wasn’t accidental. She had connections plus it’s unheard of anyone to blow up off there 2nd song posted.
when the dad said "you dont think that someone that young could have gone through so much in that early part of their life" it hits me, when i found out billie is 1 year older than me, and her birthday is on the same day as my friend who has been by my side for 8 years, the same amount of years that ive battled through so much mental health struggles, hearing billie makes me cry sometimes because i finally felt seen hearing her..
"you dont think that someone that young could have gone thru so much in that early part of their life.... but you guys do." MY HEARTTTTTT OMG..... thank you for saying that, it was like a hug. so many adults don't think we have struggles at all but we do. we feel so much so fast and for so long. thank you for being someone that understands that. you guys have earned my support and appreciation. love you guys sm already.
Billie is considered to be “alternative pop” by many. Im also an older male, and I’m a superfan. I saw her in concert for the first time this past February. I was front row on the barricade. Billie was a mere few feet away from me multiple times that night. She puts on a hell of a show. Ps: yes PLEASE watch the documentary so you can learn more about her.
i enjoy her messages in her music. At least I know when I pick up my grandkids and i have her playing in the car there won't be in crazy shyt i have to explain later lol. I'm not a prude and cuss words don't bother me (i try not to cuss in posts lol.) But personally I don't want to explain to my 8 year old grand daughter what WAP is! I enjoy her music and so do they. It's nice to have something to bond over and it makes me the cool granny lol
I am over 60 and ran across "when the party's over" on RUclips four years ago and was blown away by this kid I'd never heard of. I immediately did a deep dive and found live tracks, Sony music tunes and her first album and have been a fan ever since. She and Finneas are an amazing team. I agree that more old folks like me need to open their ears.
Fun fact: those trippy sounds in bury a friend is when Billie used the phone to record at her dentist appointment when the dentist was using tools on her teeth
Listen before I go is literally a loud statement from Billie to the world, she is telling people how she feels she wants us to be honest about how we feel. Not everybody can understand such battles and even the battles that lead to such feelings, but the fact that she stood up to sing this song in front of millions of people and for billions of others to hear is literally such a strong informative statement. She is literally speaking for so many people which is freakin helping sooooo many more. Like it’s bigger than the lyrics, reading in between the lines of words is crucial at times.
i was 13 years old when i was in hospital for an attempted sucide im now 14 the listen before i go song i related to so much and i’m so thankful billie shared it for people like me to relate to.

Billie is the only female artist in HISTORY that made records both pop and also alternative charts. She made records in alternative charts with only her 3 works with most weeks number 1 in Billboard alternative chart. Debut album in first place, second album 2nd place and her EP ..5/6th place. She also broke records in alternative charts with her songs. 7 hits. Even with James bond song she made history in charts ... Also her EP (she wrote when she was only 13-15 years old and her brother 17-19) according to Billboard is the most successful EP of all time, she already has 243 weeks in Billboard 200 charts 5 years in charts..... She made Oscars, Golden Globe history Etc .. She has already almost 20 Guinness world records and she is the YOUNGEST of all. She sold: +200M records worldwide.... 37M units, in only 4 years with only 2 albums she already surpassed Amy winehouse, Lana del rey etc ... BILLIE IS INSANE!!!!! Her music impact is already INSANE and she is an "anti genres" artist, art/alt pop, FINALLY SOMETHING NEW AND INNOVATIVE.....Music experts said they are revolutionizing pop music and music critics have compared Billie to Kurt Cobain, The Beatles, Madonna, Elvis Presley etc for her explosion (the comparison with Elvis Presley from Robert christgau, Rolling stone magazine and others from this www.forbes.com/sites/stevebaltin/2022/04/09/why-the-billie-eilish-phenomenon-is-truly-powerful-for-music-and-fans/ ..... ruclips.net/video/UWmqPc3hUZc/видео.html ..... and also Dave Grohl: ruclips.net/user/shortsU6ME00iXO6Y?feature=share ......... ruclips.net/video/t4WsLwfsTaY/видео.html) I'm 40, music teacher and I'm in love with these siblings, this is music, this is real art existed before 2000s.... of course they are so young, but the potential is huge. btw her voice is a jazzy voice 20-50s and she “modernized” it (more dark, haunting but at the same time catchy, hip hop) with every musical genre. It's so unique that people don't understand THE HUGE musical background they have ...The production is based on minimal music 60s. Simple, but FULL of details and musical elements. They are so creative, I always wait for them to release something because they are real artists, they never let me down with music .. even in simple songs like TV and The 30th.. the chills I felt at the end of these songs. Lyrics from professional storytellers for sure.
@@putyouon thank you and your dad, I really enjoyed this reaction!!I I will wait for Happier than ever’s reaction .. a really GREAT album full of musical genres and Billie vocally is closer to the 20-50s, much softer, a complex and uniform work, a journey into Billie's mind, her reflections on life and death, inner growth and revenge for getting out of depression. Very beautiful and timeless work. Old and modern music together.
I'm 53! I wish Billie was around when I was younger. That's okay. She's helped me heal some very old trauma. SO much respect for both of them. Thanks for the reaction. I hope to see more reviews of her work.
I appreciate so much the way Billie’s voice is being praised all throughout this video. She’s received so much hate and criticism for the quietness in her voice, with people using it to say she can’t sing. She was professionally trained in a prestigious LA Children’s Choir, she most definitely knows how to sing and does it BEAUTIFULLY. I love how you both appreciate the timbre of her voice and how difficult it really is to sing that quietly but with so much power, musicality, and pin-pointed pitch. Her ability to sing on pitch live is crazy and almost unbelievable sometimes. Other artists struggle singing live but for Billie it comes so naturally, hitting the most difficult notes with no waver in her voice. Loved this reaction so much
I am a bonafide old person. I totally love Billie and Finneas for several years now. What totally amazed me was the fact they were chosen to do a song for a Bond movie. It’s a HUGE honor. They did not disappoint. The song was glorious! Winning an Oscar was the icing on the cake. The song is totally theirs. When first heard it, I thought for sure that some record producer in London really rewrote their song. That is not what happened. I heard the original tape that they sent to the London studio. The basic song is how they wrote it. What geniuses these two are! ❤❤️
Phineas used to joke saying he's going to make billie the biggest pop star in the world and that's exactly what he did. im a 26 year old man who grew up on heavy metal but can honestly say billie eilish is hands down one of my favourite artists of all time.
you and your dad should definitely watch her doc together! After hearing the album I'm sure he would find it cool to see the behind the scenes of how it was made, it's a great documentary Edit: Billie has mentioned that the last three tracks are supposed to be read as a sentence: "Listen before I go, I love you, goodbye" and your dad seemed to totally pick up on that. I think it adds to the vibe you were talking about with side B and wrapping up the album as a whole
y’all have easily made me fall in love with this album all over again, i haven’t listened in a while and man- the emotions, goosebumps, me straining my voice screaming the lyrics. i would do anything to listen to this album for the first time again
I have been following Billie since the don't smile at me EP dropped, and I remember the first time I heard "idontwannabeyouanymore" off of that project, I texted my girlfriend at the time that I was shocked she hadn't blown up yet. Only a few years later she was the biggest pop star in the world and had improved soooo much over her previous work. This record was such a surprise to me when it came out and her sophomore album is even better in my opinion. Even though she is incredibly popular, I still think that Billie is highly underrated among the "music nerd" crowd but maybe that's just me.
On “listen before I go”, I’ll correct what you said happens. Her mother hears some of the song and she asks Billie, “are you seriously implying that you would jump off the roof?” - and billie nods and says “yes.” - and Maggie (her mother) says something like, “are you sure you wanna get that dark on a song? Do you think that’s a smart thing to do?.” Billie then says, “this song is the reason that I DON’T do it. I think it’s better to have written a song about it then actually doing it.” Ps: when she says “no way out..but down” - that means jumping off the roof. Like the opening lyrics to the song, “take me to the rooftop, I want to see the world when I stop breathing, turning blue.”
It's a pretty spectacular debut album, especially from someone so young. Billie and Finneas are both just remarkably talented. I'm one of those older guys, who managed to pick up on this. I adore my 80s and 90s music, but music today is clearly alive and well, contrary to what some of my contemporaries seem to think. I'm just happy to be here to witness it.
I'm about to turn 48 and stumbled upon Billie's music just after this album was released. I became an instant fan and took great joy in being able to introduce my 23 year old "kid" to what they had assumed was "just another pop starlet". Few things bring me as much joy as different generations loving both old and new music together!
I loved vibing to I Love You with y’all. You had your eyes closed for most of the track and then from 42:34 all the way through the rest of the song your dad joins you. It’s so beautiful to see music touch people ❤
i'm 54 and love Billie and Fin! Ilomio was actually was written about a little video game she liked to play! 2 little guys you had to get back together and stars would hurt them. Knowing that makes you hear the song different. And I think your Dad is right it really hits different with an older crowd. I love when you listen to the album it can be very relaxing. But watching her in concert she can turn it up and they are all bangers!
I am a huge billie fan. But i absolutely love that you stated what I felt as well. When this album came out Bad Guy got all the attention, but the rest of the album is absolutely spectacular and deserved so much more attention. Wonderful reaction ❤
I love how the both of you genuinely listen to each song and in the same way. Like you both appreciate and feel the whole song and interpret it in such diverse ways with open minds. Thank you for your videos! I really hope you also give a listen to her other albums. And break them down just like how you did here. I wish you both the best out of life 🤗🤗
Please listen to Happier Than Ever, people consider it her “flop album” but it’s so much better of an album and she grew so much as a singer and artist. And the title song is one of her best songs ever.
I discovered Billie in a time when I was so lonely. She's only a year older than me so hearing someone my age voice my deepest feelings was so validating! I don't even know what I'd have done if I didn't have her music to keep me company when I was at my lowest.
When it comes to listen before i go, Billie has a lot to say about it. When she was confronted by her mom about the message and was asked "if she was willing to go that dark" she stated this is the reason she doesn't jump. Having this way of saying it is betting than doing it. Your dad also noted the fact that people wouldn't expect a person this young to experience these feelings. That was a huge deal for Billie. I believe that it was in an interview somewhere that she says she hates when people say "Why are you depressed? You're so young!" like she's supposed to be happy. She's still human and experiences these feelings like everyone else whether she's 18 or 58. This may not be true but I remember seeing a statistic somewhere that more and more young people (like teenagers) are suffering from depression as time passes on so I don't understand why this isn't being talked about more. btw, totally tattoing 'listen before i go, i love you. goodbye' onto my forearm because those last three songs are just too good. People who wouldn't know about that would be confused but people who knew the tracklist would understand XD
52 yo mother of three and I’m a massive fan of these two artists. Looking forward to your reaction to Hit Me Hard and Soft. You hear it now I do. Ethereal and magical.
This is my favorite album of all time and likely will always be- thank you both from the bottom of my heart for giving this art the love and recognition it deserves. I think this shows that people can be capable of so much more at this young an age than they’re given credit for, and the fact that music this undefined can transcend the bounds of time like this is so crazy to me still. Thank you both again for this experience ❤️
How I always looked at the last three songs is her going through something and goes through with it then “I love you” is like the last thing she thought about was him and then “goodbye” is her relationship flashing before her eyes
fun fact- 8 was originally called see through, and then changed to ‘7’ on the album and was number 7 on the album (before !!!!!!!) was added- 7 was the nickname of her ex! but when it got moved to track 8 they changed the name from 7 to 8. loved the vid!
Really liked this reaction. Billie is one of my favorite artists. I would also like to suggest that you guys listen to AURORA. She is actually one of the artists that inspired Billie the most to begin her music career.
I'm listening on the 5-year anniversary of this album. It's so awesome to see someone discover fall in love with this album I'm 64 and a HUGE Billie & Finneas
I’d love for you guys to react to some of her singles that aren’t attached to any albums. we’ve got Come Out and Play, bitches broken hearts, lovely, bored, six feet under, and more. Also, her EP is amazing and gives such a good look into her talent at such a young age, as young as 13 years old
This album was the only thing that could put me to sleep for awhile. That might sound like an insult, but for someone with insomnia it’s quite the opposite. Something about this album (with its ironic name and everything) genuinely helped me sleep when I first bought it on iTunes.
Great reaction! It's often only when I see such reactions that I realize how many great moments I missed when I first heard the album. It is often simply a more conscious listening I guess. You doing this well, keep it up guys!
I’m sorry, but Sweden is behind veryyyy many songs that has charted over the last 20-25 years. Great reaction, I really need to show my dad this album!
Please do her EP and her new guitar songs- TV and The 30th. Commented earlier...I'm close to 50 and my husband and I will see her again next month. Goldwing is amazing live because she is so incredibly interactive. Sounds the same if not better live because she connects to thousands of people in an unfathomable way. Finneas plays so many instruments, she and he play guitar together for I Love You, Your Power....she starts the show by being ejected up from center stage into Bury a Friend. It's her, Finneas and their drummer, lights and a screen. Try to see her live. It's an experience! Her cover of MJs Bad at 15 is amazing. So is End of the World cover...she also won an Oscar for her Bond song.
I admire a father and son reviewing Billie and Finneas's music - it's a wonderful thing!. Billie sprained her ankle in Milan, Italy [Feb. 21, 2019] at the very beginning of the concert but then cont'd on a chair. The GENIUS LYRICs explanations are generally very helpful. "When the Partys Over" was one written by FINNEAS alone [along with "Ocean Eyes" & "My Strange Addiction"] - this song wasn't about Billie's boyfriend, but it perhaps could have been. ["Lost Cause" & "Happier Than Ever" from her July 30, 2021 Album "Happier Than Ever" are about - in part - the feelings surrounding her relationship with her boyfriend.] I believe "8" is - I think - about its placement on the Tracklist - before the slurping Invisalign Intro, it was 7 (I believe) and I think that's in the documentary "The World's A Little Blurry" [directed by R.J. Cutler, Feb. 26 , 2021 - a little long, but otherwise excellent]. Billie & Finneas were singing "I Love You" in New York at the Greek Theatre one year to the day after her friend XXXTentacion's death (June 18, 2019), and Billie breaks down in the live show - it's a tear-jerking moment. Billie will be 21 on Dec. 18, 2022. The last track with lines in reverse order of the tracklist must be close to Genius in its imagination. Thank you - take care. P.S. I've noticed Billie has something like a lisp in a couple places in her music. [ The documentary is 2Hrs & 20 minutes and I think could have been at least 20 minutes shorter - but it is still excellent and it is hard to know what one would cut out.]
I gave the wrong date for Billie's ankle injury in Milan - it was August 31, 2019 at the very beginning of the concert - she was opening with "Bad Guy" and went down within a minute - it's painful to watch. "Bad Guy" came out on March 29, 2019, so I'm not sure where I got the Feb 21st date from.
Seven is also the nick name of her abusive ex, so she didnt want to leave it as 7 because then it would be too obvious that its about him. she also never said 8 in wish you were gay so thats why there's 8
@@jaelynp Billie does sing "I ATE at 7" and I believe that is a very clever pun for the number 8. In the Genius Lyrics for 8, in Billie's comments there is no reference to "Wish You Were Gay". I have read that 8 follows the format of "See-through", but I haven't seen that she ever sang that song live. I wonder if she wrote the words before or after meeting 7:AMP or Q [Brandon Quention Adams]; from what I understand they met towards the end of 2018, but I think after or during Coachella, the end of the relationship was at hand. I figured it was just a change in the Track list after the Slurps and !!!! were added - if it was a way to make up for the number 8's absence in WYWG, that would be clever too. I hadn't been to a concert in over 40 yrs and saw Billie in St. Paul on March 15, 2022 - she was and is awesome!
Enjoyed your reactions! I'm older than your age unknown😊Dad and I've loved Billie since I first heard her voice and the songwriting and production she and Finneas do. Please react to her even more mature and personal 2nd album together! I wIsh My Dad had spent time with me with music I loved tho he did like lots of music too. Thanks again for sharing. Regards....
Son and dad headbouncing in the couch, speaking without words while the music plays, translating the lyrics to their own stories, experiencing that special Billie Eilish syndrome... Enjoy it!
PLEASEEE react to Happier Than Ever as soon as possible!! I have literally been a fan of her since I was 9 (when her ep came out)- also her brother, FINNEAS- his music is insane and has sort of the same vibe but structured differently. I love both of them to pieces and highly suggest listening to HTE and Finneas' music
This might be a random comment but am I the only one who enjoys the sound of sirens I’m the distance from listen before I go? Btw great video of y’all could check out the neighborhood I think you’re dad would really enjoy them
Nice reaction you guys 🤗 This album definitely deserved all the grammys 💕 Billie Eilish is one of my favourite artists😍😍 “Listen before I go” is sooo sad 😥 Hope to see a reaction to her latest album: “Happier than ever”🙏😍 Another one of my favourite artists are AURORA from Norway 😍 Billie was actually inspired by her🤗 Billie said: “When I was 12, I saw Aurora’s ‘Runaway’ music video, something inside me clicked, like, that is what I want to do, no matter whether it goes anywhere or not.” AURORA’s first album is: “All My Demons Greeting Me As A Friend “🙏😍

Pleasee give us moreee, react to dont smile at me
You definitely need to do Happier Than Ever, I think your Dad would appreciate the details, lyrics and musical references
Still a brilliant debut album ... and let's not forget 'Don't Smile At Me' ... R (Australia)

Right. This inspired me to buy the album on ITunes because they quit playing them on the radio and I miss hearing them….

@@putyouon thank you and your dad, I really enjoyed this reaction!!I I will wait for Happier than ever’s reaction .. a really GREAT album full of musical genres and Billie vocally is closer to the 20-50s, much softer, a complex and uniform work, a journey into Billie's mind, her reflections on life and death, inner growth and revenge for getting out of depression. Very beautiful and timeless work. Old and modern music together.
To think: she pretty much created this album when she was fifteen or something…
INSANE
I'm 46 and I am not ashamed to say that I too am a Billie eilish fan : )
Hell yeah Kevin ✌🏻
I'm 53! I wish Billie was around when I was younger. That's okay. She's helped me heal some very old trauma. SO much respect for both of them. Thanks for the reaction. I hope to see more reviews of her work.
@@KristinKanan then you got a great taste! and yes Billie’s music is sometimes healing and theraupetic
I appreciate so much the way Billie’s voice is being praised all throughout this video. She’s received so much hate and criticism for the quietness in her voice, with people using it to say she can’t sing. She was professionally trained in a prestigious LA Children’s Choir, she most definitely knows how to sing and does it BEAUTIFULLY. I love how you both appreciate the timbre of her voice and how difficult it really is to sing that quietly but with so much power, musicality, and pin-pointed pitch. Her ability to sing on pitch live is crazy and almost unbelievable sometimes. Other artists struggle singing live but for Billie it comes so naturally, hitting the most difficult notes with no waver in her voice. Loved this reaction so much
Listen before I go will never fail to make me tear up. She has such a pure soul, but has been through hell.
Now you have to react to "Happier than ever" album. She's a genius. I love her.
Don’t forget her brother Is a HUGE part of Billie’s success.
I am a bonafide old person. I totally love Billie and Finneas for several years now. What totally amazed me was the fact they were chosen to do a song for a Bond movie. It’s a HUGE honor. They did not disappoint. The song was glorious! Winning an Oscar was the icing on the cake. The song is totally theirs. When first heard it, I thought for sure that some record producer in London really rewrote their song. That is not what happened. I heard the original tape that they sent to the London studio. The basic song is how they wrote it. What geniuses these two are! ❤❤️
Phineas used to joke saying he's going to make billie the biggest pop star in the world and that's exactly what he did. im a 26 year old man who grew up on heavy metal but can honestly say billie eilish is hands down one of my favourite artists of all time.
you and your dad should definitely watch her doc together! After hearing the album I'm sure he would find it cool to see the behind the scenes of how it was made, it's a great documentary
Edit: Billie has mentioned that the last three tracks are supposed to be read as a sentence: "Listen before I go, I love you, goodbye" and your dad seemed to totally pick up on that. I think it adds to the vibe you were talking about with side B and wrapping up the album as a whole
Older guy here totally a huge fan of Billie & Finneas
Unbelievable talent lyrically, sonically & artistically !!!
y’all have easily made me fall in love with this album all over again, i haven’t listened in a while and man- the emotions, goosebumps, me straining my voice screaming the lyrics. i would do anything to listen to this album for the first time again
31 and I love Billie Eilish! Her brother Finneas also. But Billie is a star for sure
I have been following Billie since the don't smile at me EP dropped, and I remember the first time I heard "idontwannabeyouanymore" off of that project, I texted my girlfriend at the time that I was shocked she hadn't blown up yet. Only a few years later she was the biggest pop star in the world and had improved soooo much over her previous work. This record was such a surprise to me when it came out and her sophomore album is even better in my opinion. Even though she is incredibly popular, I still think that Billie is highly underrated among the "music nerd" crowd but maybe that's just me.
On “listen before I go”, I’ll correct what you said happens. Her mother hears some of the song and she asks Billie, “are you seriously implying that you would jump off the roof?” - and billie nods and says “yes.” - and Maggie (her mother) says something like, “are you sure you wanna get that dark on a song? Do you think that’s a smart thing to do?.” Billie then says, “this song is the reason that I DON’T do it. I think it’s better to have written a song about it then actually doing it.”
Ps: when she says “no way out..but down” - that means jumping off the roof. Like the opening lyrics to the song, “take me to the rooftop, I want to see the world when I stop breathing, turning blue.”
It's a pretty spectacular debut album, especially from someone so young. Billie and Finneas are both just remarkably talented. I'm one of those older guys, who managed to pick up on this. I adore my 80s and 90s music, but music today is clearly alive and well, contrary to what some of my contemporaries seem to think. I'm just happy to be here to witness it.
I'm about to turn 48 and stumbled upon Billie's music just after this album was released. I became an instant fan and took great joy in being able to introduce my 23 year old "kid" to what they had assumed was "just another pop starlet". Few things bring me as much joy as different generations loving both old and new music together!
Such a huge Billie fan, the best artist of this millenium. And I was born in the 50s, she's among the best.
Ive listened to billie since 2016, and she has never lost her touch, she is an amazing artist
Hi, Dad! She is a phenomenal performer. Had the pleasure to see her live and sounds even better live!
Hi Lisa! I bet
I loved vibing to I Love You with y’all. You had your eyes closed for most of the track and then from 42:34 all the way through the rest of the song your dad joins you. It’s so beautiful to see music touch people ❤
Thank you for watching 🧡🧡🧡
i'm 54 and love Billie and Fin! Ilomio was actually was written about a little video game she liked to play! 2 little guys you had to get back together and stars would hurt them. Knowing that makes you hear the song different. And I think your Dad is right it really hits different with an older crowd. I love when you listen to the album it can be very relaxing. But watching her in concert she can turn it up and they are all bangers!
I'm 39 and I love it, and I made my parents love it also, which are in mid 60's of course.
Amazing album. I remember when Billie was on the rise I wasn’t the biggest fan but with her two albums she really proved herself as a great artist.
I am a huge billie fan. But i absolutely love that you stated what I felt as well. When this album came out Bad Guy got all the attention, but the rest of the album is absolutely spectacular and deserved so much more attention. Wonderful reaction ❤
I love how the both of you genuinely listen to each song and in the same way. Like you both appreciate and feel the whole song and interpret it in such diverse ways with open minds. Thank you for your videos! I really hope you also give a listen to her other albums. And break them down just like how you did here. I wish you both the best out of life 🤗🤗
Thank you for watching, can’t wait for the next album 🧡
Thank you Maria….check us out tomorrow with the live debut of…..😂
@@mightymike8130 🤔🤔 i see what you did there
Listening to billie with dad is goals!!! Wish I had a dad like that.
One of the best pop albums of the last decade
50 year old dad here. I Love Billie and Finneas!
Wow what an amazing album! Glad I got to listen to it with you! I'll have to show my dad this one.
Thanks for listening with us ✌🏻
Please listen to Happier Than Ever, people consider it her “flop album” but it’s so much better of an album and she grew so much as a singer and artist. And the title song is one of her best songs ever.
I’m a big Billie Eilish fan people all around the world love her so much she has so much albums, they’re so amazing x
I love your dads comment on the silence in between lyrics and music. I feel like I’m in the bedroom recording with them
I am in your “generation” and LOVE Billie. Her and Finneas are the dynamic duo.
ive noticed she pronounces "sh" sounds as "ss" and vice versa. I love you Billie! im happy you exist.
listen before I go, I cry every damn time...
her albums are so well put together her brother really deserves it all
Loved your reaction to when the party’s over, and imo her best album is her newest, happier than ever
I discovered Billie in a time when I was so lonely. She's only a year older than me so hearing someone my age voice my deepest feelings was so validating! I don't even know what I'd have done if I didn't have her music to keep me company when I was at my lowest.
Great pick!
I’m really glad I got to experience the album again with you guys. Thank you
Thanks for watching 👍🏼
When it comes to listen before i go, Billie has a lot to say about it. When she was confronted by her mom about the message and was asked "if she was willing to go that dark" she stated this is the reason she doesn't jump. Having this way of saying it is betting than doing it. Your dad also noted the fact that people wouldn't expect a person this young to experience these feelings. That was a huge deal for Billie. I believe that it was in an interview somewhere that she says she hates when people say "Why are you depressed? You're so young!" like she's supposed to be happy. She's still human and experiences these feelings like everyone else whether she's 18 or 58. This may not be true but I remember seeing a statistic somewhere that more and more young people (like teenagers) are suffering from depression as time passes on so I don't understand why this isn't being talked about more.
btw, totally tattoing 'listen before i go, i love you. goodbye' onto my forearm because those last three songs are just too good. People who wouldn't know about that would be confused but people who knew the tracklist would understand XD
52 yo mother of three and I’m a massive fan of these two artists. Looking forward to your reaction to Hit Me Hard and Soft. You hear it now I do. Ethereal and magical.
incredible reaction and insight from both of you... i think you guys would really enjoy her brother finneas' writing and solo music too!!
This is my favorite album of all time and likely will always be- thank you both from the bottom of my heart for giving this art the love and recognition it deserves. I think this shows that people can be capable of so much more at this young an age than they’re given credit for, and the fact that music this undefined can transcend the bounds of time like this is so crazy to me still. Thank you both again for this experience ❤️
Thank you so much for watching! Can’t wait to listen to Happier Than Ever
omg THE SCILENCE AFTER LISTEN BEFORE I GO LOLLLL , that literally is me everytime i listen to it omg
How I always looked at the last three songs is her going through something and goes through with it then “I love you” is like the last thing she thought about was him and then “goodbye” is her relationship flashing before her eyes
Love to hear "Happier than ever" album. Just as great as his one. She is the reason I am listening to today's music.
she's so talent
fun fact- 8 was originally called see through, and then changed to ‘7’ on the album and was number 7 on the album (before !!!!!!!) was added- 7 was the nickname of her ex! but when it got moved to track 8 they changed the name from 7 to 8. loved the vid!
Really liked this reaction. Billie is one of my favorite artists. I would also like to suggest that you guys listen to AURORA. She is actually one of the artists that inspired Billie the most to begin her music career.
I was going to write the same thing 😅👍😍
@@lillm6874 Awesome!😄
I'm listening on the 5-year anniversary of this album. It's so awesome to see someone discover fall in love with this album I'm 64 and a HUGE Billie & Finneas
i cant wait to see you reacting to getting older, nda and happier than ever
Speaking of Horror, Bad Guy was the first song played in the Chucky series on tv
I’d love for you guys to react to some of her singles that aren’t attached to any albums. we’ve got Come Out and Play, bitches broken hearts, lovely, bored, six feet under, and more. Also, her EP is amazing and gives such a good look into her talent at such a young age, as young as 13 years old
This album was the only thing that could put me to sleep for awhile. That might sound like an insult, but for someone with insomnia it’s quite the opposite. Something about this album (with its ironic name and everything) genuinely helped me sleep when I first bought it on iTunes.
Great video. This album is a masterpiece. You need to show him her videos now. They are just as amazing.
god i wish people were good as ur dad when listening to billie's songs. DO HAPPIER THAN EVER ALBUM. PLEASE
Great reaction! It's often only when I see such reactions that I realize how many great moments I missed when I first heard the album. It is often simply a more conscious listening I guess. You doing this well, keep it up guys!
Appreciate you!
I’m sorry, but Sweden is behind veryyyy many songs that has charted over the last 20-25 years.
Great reaction, I really need to show my dad this album!
Please do her EP and her new guitar songs- TV and The 30th. Commented earlier...I'm close to 50 and my husband and I will see her again next month. Goldwing is amazing live because she is so incredibly interactive. Sounds the same if not better live because she connects to thousands of people in an unfathomable way. Finneas plays so many instruments, she and he play guitar together for I Love You, Your Power....she starts the show by being ejected up from center stage into Bury a Friend. It's her, Finneas and their drummer, lights and a screen. Try to see her live. It's an experience! Her cover of MJs Bad at 15 is amazing. So is End of the World cover...she also won an Oscar for her Bond song.
I am a 60 year old into the Beatles, Pink Floyd and Zep, so not much new music as a rule, but I think this album is right up there with Sgt. Pepper
Billie once said she was in awe and inspired by AURORA (a Norwegian musician), hope you can check her out.
I admire a father and son reviewing Billie and Finneas's music - it's a wonderful thing!. Billie sprained her ankle in Milan, Italy [Feb. 21, 2019] at the very beginning of the concert but then cont'd on a chair. The GENIUS LYRICs explanations are generally very helpful. "When the Partys Over" was one written by FINNEAS alone [along with "Ocean Eyes" & "My Strange Addiction"] - this song wasn't about Billie's boyfriend, but it perhaps could have been. ["Lost Cause" & "Happier Than Ever" from her July 30, 2021 Album "Happier Than Ever" are about - in part - the feelings surrounding her relationship with her boyfriend.] I believe "8" is - I think - about its placement on the Tracklist - before the slurping Invisalign Intro, it was 7 (I believe) and I think that's in the documentary "The World's A Little Blurry" [directed by R.J. Cutler, Feb. 26 , 2021 - a little long, but otherwise excellent]. Billie & Finneas were singing "I Love You" in New York at the Greek Theatre one year to the day after her friend XXXTentacion's death (June 18, 2019), and Billie breaks down in the live show - it's a tear-jerking moment. Billie will be 21 on Dec. 18, 2022. The last track with lines in reverse order of the tracklist must be close to Genius in its imagination. Thank you - take care. P.S. I've noticed Billie has something like a lisp in a couple places in her music. [ The documentary is 2Hrs & 20 minutes and I think could have been at least 20 minutes shorter - but it is still excellent and it is hard to know what one would cut out.]
I gave the wrong date for Billie's ankle injury in Milan - it was August 31, 2019 at the very beginning of the concert - she was opening with "Bad Guy" and went down within a minute - it's painful to watch. "Bad Guy" came out on March 29, 2019, so I'm not sure where I got the Feb 21st date from.
Seven is also the nick name of her abusive ex, so she didnt want to leave it as 7 because then it would be too obvious that its about him. she also never said 8 in wish you were gay so thats why there's 8
@@jaelynp Billie does sing "I ATE at 7" and I believe that is a very clever pun for the number 8. In the Genius Lyrics for 8, in Billie's comments there is no reference to "Wish You Were Gay". I have read that 8 follows the format of "See-through", but I haven't seen that she ever sang that song live. I wonder if she wrote the words before or after meeting 7:AMP or Q [Brandon Quention Adams]; from what I understand they met towards the end of 2018, but I think after or during Coachella, the end of the relationship was at hand. I figured it was just a change in the Track list after the Slurps and !!!! were added - if it was a way to make up for the number 8's absence in WYWG, that would be clever too. I hadn't been to a concert in over 40 yrs and saw Billie in St. Paul on March 15, 2022 - she was and is awesome!
billie is amazing
I have absolutely loved this reaction. I would love to see him react to some live performances ❤
I'm loving the ilomilo love in this vid. It's my second fav from the album
Happier than everrrr
Enjoyed your reactions! I'm older than your age unknown😊Dad and I've loved Billie since I first heard her voice and the songwriting and production she and Finneas do. Please react to her even more mature and personal 2nd album together! I wIsh My Dad had spent time with me with music I loved tho he did like lots of music too. Thanks again for sharing. Regards....
Much love ❤️ thank you for watching
Can't wait for happiet than ever
i love how they are gutted after 'listen before i go'
Son and dad headbouncing in the couch, speaking without words while the music plays, translating the lyrics to their own stories, experiencing that special Billie Eilish syndrome... Enjoy it!
You guys are amazing. This is an absolutely beautiful reaction 🖤
Thank you so much 🧡
PLEASEEE react to Happier Than Ever as soon as possible!! I have literally been a fan of her since I was 9 (when her ep came out)- also her brother, FINNEAS- his music is insane and has sort of the same vibe but structured differently. I love both of them to pieces and highly suggest listening to HTE and Finneas' music
HAPPIER THAN EVER NEXT IM BEGGING OMG
I think Phineas is the true reason her music is so amazing… It’s how they were produced.
This might be a random comment but am I the only one who enjoys the sound of sirens I’m the distance from listen before I go? Btw great video of y’all could check out the neighborhood I think you’re dad would really enjoy them
I love it as well. Fits the atmosphere of the song beautifully
please do her happier than ever album. It has very beautiful tracks and great production❤❤ her vocal range in her new album is so amazing aswell
Omg!! Please do her Happier Than Ever album!!! I love that y’all do this together, it’s so sweet. ❤
❤️❤️❤️
THIS IS SO WHOLESOME!!! Love y’all and Billie ❤
Yes! Watch doc!
In love with billie 🙌🏼😪
Nice reaction you guys 🤗
This album definitely deserved all the grammys 💕
Billie Eilish is one of my favourite artists😍😍
“Listen before I go” is sooo sad 😥
Hope to see a reaction to her latest album:
“Happier than ever”🙏😍
Another one of my favourite artists are AURORA from Norway 😍
Billie was actually inspired by her🤗
Billie said:
“When I was 12, I saw Aurora’s ‘Runaway’ music video, something inside me clicked, like, that is what I want to do, no matter whether it goes anywhere or not.”
AURORA’s first album is:
“All My Demons Greeting Me As A Friend “🙏😍
