something I really like about her music is that it doesn't put down the other girl. Her music has the vibe of "you chose her over me and that sucks, but I'm not going to put her down for the choices you made."
It makes it that much sadder. She’s obviously being the bigger person by not putting the other girl down. She waited to be mature enough, but he was the immature one all along
@@almightyotaku6615 which sucks, because even after complimenting the other girl and not putting her down, the other girl put olivia down and turned it into something it wasn’t
exactly! with lyrics like “she’s so sweet, she’s so pretty” and “she’s everything i’m insecure about” like she continually compliments this girl and the emotion maturity that takes is so crazy
i appreciate that she doesn't talk bad about s*b but it's so harmful that she keeps silent in how her fans attack the girl every day, so much, that she says "I don't know what point in my career is my time to cry on Instagram live but its getting pretty close", like I know that she doesn't control her fans, and really can't control a fanbase that big but she could at least say to not trow hate and be kind yk?
@@giulia3509 I agree but I think that’s also the point of her songs - like she is showing that she doesn’t have any hatred for her or anything so she is trying to lead her fans by example?? That’s just what I took away from her album
@@virginiaallison2172 why does she need to leave riddles and hints to let her fans know to stop sending death threats? she should straight up just say it, it's the mature thing to do.
@@af2954 I’m not saying that’s what she was doing and I do agree she should tell them to stop, I was just making a point that as fans they should look at the fact that she doesn’t hold anything against the other girl and realize that they A. Also shouldn’t hold anything against her and B. Don’t know the full story of what’s going on to make their own assumptions.
timestamps for u:) 1:20 brutal 4:11 traitor 8:11 drivers license 9:55 1 step forward, 3 steps back 11:16 deja vu 14:47 good 4 u 18:25 enough for you 20:52 happier 22:53 jealousy, jealousy 26:29 favorite crime 30:07 hope ur ok have a nice life
I sometimes feel lucky to be born at the same time as her, and being almost her age, I feel everything she's going through, and thus her music helps a lot
27:45 you're not being dramatic bill, some things hit us in different places because of our understanding or past experiences. also, that song is so genius, she talks about how she was also responsible for everything that happened to her, and it does hurt me too. It's okay, you're feelings are valid, no matter whatsoever ❤
traitor is my favorite song on sour considering i was cheated on without ever even being technically in a relationship. he said he just didn't wanna label stuff, but was dating someone else. it hurts, especially the paranoid part, bc there was a guy he seemed to be really close to but every time i asked he just said they were best friends. high school be wild like that ig 😃
something really similar happened to me. it was hard because the fact that we were never in a relationship made me gaslight myself into thinking it wasn’t a big deal and when i gave myself permission to feel i discovered how traumatic that experience really was and how much it keeps messing me up. i’m so sorry that happened to you, i hope there weren’t people like that :( sending you so much love 💕
I totally agree, we didn't date, we were going to but then he said HAHA you suck, i was kidding, I'm back with my ex. But 2 weeks before he said he loved me and he was a dumbass for not noticing before after being friends for 4yrs.
Going through the same right now, crying while binging Olivia’s songs. Me and my crush were super close and even intimate (hooking up, cuddling, making out, holding hands) for months, even tho we weren‘t together. Found out he was trying to get with other girls at the same time and that he just thought I was hot, but didn‘t want anything serious with me. Apprently he told others he thinks I’m in love with hil. My stupid ass even had wanted to confess my feelings to him, but thankfully someone telling me the things he had said, saved me. I feel your pain... But at least it‘s comforting to know we aren‘t alone and that there are songs out there that help cope with the pain
So fun fact, in 1 ste9 forward, 3 steps back, Olivia sample New Year's Day by Taylor Swift but she played it on the piano so Scooter wouldn't receuve any money. Also Taylor Swift and Jack Antanoff colaborated in the writing of the song
That's true but Taylor and Jack didn't help write it. They were given writing credits because they have to credit the artists for sampling their music.
Paramore, Swift, and Lorde are definitely clear influences, but this project also strongly reminded me of early 2000s pop punk groups like the Veronicas and the Donnas. It's fantastic
sour is like such an amazing album also please react to beach bunny❗️ -prom queen -cloud 9 -blame game -nice guys -lightning (under the name tiger lili but one of the best songs out there) okay that’s it have a nice day
Yes yes so much! I made a really bad mashup of the two bc I have no idea how to mash up songs but even with my very bad skills they sound good together
Hi bill, did you notice "The Avatar's Love" playing at the end of Hope ur ok? To me that's such a perfect bookend to the album. It's like the ending of a wholesome episode of Avatar and bring such positive nostalgia to this moment. I love it so much
I saw this and said "Good luck, Bill." Congrats on moving! This album is so good I didn't understand the hype around Olivia until it came out and I was blown away. I had never listened to Driver's License so I really am living under a rock... This is an album that hurts cause it's relatable and she's so specific with her lyrics it just feels like ur going through a story. Such good writing. If I could suggest something for the future (even though I know you have some kind of list for sure) I'm excited to see you take a look at Melanie Martinez and Madison Beer is another person I would recommend. Not gonna list a bunch of songs since I'm just tossing the names out there lol
hope ur ok is probably about how she's met and known people who have gone through things that are much more worse than what she went through. It's human nature, we feel better when we see how small our difficulties are when compared to other people, and how privileged we are without realizing and acknowledging. That song makes me cry so bad
I haven't seen any comments about it yet, but favorite crime is more literal in the sense that the partner that she is writing about was 18 and she was 16, so them dating was technically an actual crime. Everything else that you gave in your analysis was super insightful and interesting, and I think this could maybe enhance that. Anyway, I always love your commentary, and you always give some really great perspective. Thank you!!!
okay I've been listening to this album since it came out and I've been obsessed with watching videos of people reacting to it so I've seen at least 5-6 whole album reactions but can I just say how genuinely nice this video was? everything you said was just so kind and sweet and I love how your focus was on your actual reactions and thoughts rather than just playing the whole songs. Hope your move is going well :)
your reactions are so wholesome and nonjudgmental honestly the internet needs more people like you (but don't stress yourself out trying to churn out content while in the middle of other things, we understand) + trying to stan recs: i saw someone else mention this but the new album blood bunny by chloe moriondo, i'd recommend if not the entire album than the songs rly don't care, manta rays, take your time, bodybag, and what if it doesn't end well :))
Whenever I hear Olivia Rodrigo I still feel automatically think actress, but every song I’ve heard from her I’ve loved. I really think she might be remembered for a long long time. In the future she’s going to be legendary
Bill! I love that you did this album because I love Olivia so much. Being so young and singing so raw that I once again feel like I’m 17. Plus that pink/pop sound is sooo great. I’ve listened to this album so many times and it’s continuing to be played over and over when I’m feeling down
I've been binging a lot of your reaction videos today and I *love* how you pick up on all the lyrics that are about gaslighting (this video and other ones) and how gaslighting is not okay. You don't make any excuses or try and diminish the gaslighting which is something I feel other people do. Thank you! :)
I saw someone saying react to Chloe Moriondo, which I second, but her new album Blood Bunny is the best representation of her work. I'd recommend: Manta Rays, What if it Doesn't End Well, Bodybag, Take your Time, Slacker and Strawberry Blonde for analysis
your reaction is SO genuinely insightful, just wanted to let you know that i really appreciated all the nuanced points you gave us about this album !!! definitely left me thinking, and this didn't even feel like a 34 minute video :))) !!!
you're legit the sweetest person I've ever seen. your videos never fail to put me in a good mood :)) I hope everything in your moving turns out okay!!!
jealousy jealousy is my fav song off the album. it hits on a new level. i grew up with the internet and currently am and i let everyones positives have a negative effect on me. i constantly compare myself and wish i could be people i dont even know. its so toxic.
I love how this album is like the five stages of grief like as soon as you feel like you can let them go or you know someday someone will treat you the way you deserve something the next day will take you all the way back to the anger and hurt
I really enjoy your reactions! :) Sour is such a great album. I've been listening to it almost constantly. I loved re-listening to it with you! I'd love to see you try to stan Ashe (or her album Ashlyn), Louis Tomlinson and Orla Gartland (who is a great friend of dodie's)
i absolutely LOVE finding pop culture references in music. the 'deja vu' mv and 'good 4 u' mv are both inspired by a fair few films and tv shows. deja vu was inspired by Ingrid Goes West and Killing Eve, and good 4 u had the cheerleading outfit from Princess Diaries and you were right with the Jennifer's Body reference. except for Princess Diaries, they all contain lead female characters that are considered psychotic, kind of like the media portrays her out to be. and in Princess Diaries the main female character is into a guy with the same name as the ex she sings about.
Just recently started following you, n I must say I love your reactions.... your vibes & the things you gotta say are awesome... n about ur situation @ home, it will get better bud ✊😎 hang in there.. you matter 😊👍
1 step forward 3 steps back, enough for you, favorite crime, and hope ur ok fcked me the fck up. relatability aside, she really knows how to compose her lyrics in the way that even though i never experienced that personally, i was easily sucked in and empathized with her. everything felt so vivid and real and concrete as if i was there myself. i love her self-awareness, while also recognizing that it's not her problem, it's him problem. plus point for brutal and good 4 u for summoning my teen angst rage to the front 😂
great video! this made me love the album even more. I personally loved watching all the react channels videos about sour but this was definitely my favorite; you talk about the lyrics so interestingly! Favorite crime was so emotional for me as well and was my favorite for that reason. I liked that the metaphor made the complex relationship a bit more understandable while also still keeping it ambiguous. beautiful but tragic
I didn’t really like driver’s license initially because it wasn’t my type of music, but I loved most of the songs on this album (especially brutal and good for u). Her music is so versatile and for that I admire Olivia Rodrigo. Also how sad is it that traitor and enough for you fit two of my past relationships
while being only a few years older than her this album is so nostalgic for me even tho it's new. i remember being in high school and feeling so many of the things she expresses from favorite crime and being in relationships with people older than you who you shouldnt be with to brutal talking about how the world is shit and teenagers get hit with the brunt of it.
hi bill, thank u so much for your insight on favourite crime !!!! I grew up in abuse and had a horrifically abusive relationship 2 years ago when I was 16, and that song hit me really hard and I haven’t seen anyone else realize the implications of the song. It was really validating, thank you!!
this video and your take on the songs were brilliant i always appreciate your perspective!! you should react to Waterparks, they dropped a new album called Greatest Hits on the same day as Olivia Rodrigo, and it has a really interesting sound. much love
you should do trying to stan bo burnham, he just brought out a new special called inside on netflix! i recommend listening to: - sad - art is dead - problematic (hold me accountable) - welcome to the internet - left brain right brain - repeat stuff
I totally recommend listening to the rare americans, particularly their two newest videos: "Baggage" and "Mama Bear" "Brittle Bones Nicky" is really good too and has a sequel Great video as always 💜💜💜
im so happy you read favorite crime as darkly as i did fills me with some peace, most people read it as just a bad breakup/relationship but i always immediately thought that darkest reading when i listened. probably from experience but... i took crime and accomplice and alibi very literally....
She did promo with sour patch kids and the current running theory is she's gonna drop a second album full of her unreleased love songs bc "sour sweet gone". Shes a big swifty so the theory holds water im excited to see what goes down
I would suggest youd listen to Marianas Trench! They're a canadian band and talk a lot about mental health issues, as well as addiction (the lead singer, Josh, had an addiction to heroin before the band started). I would recommend either their old stuff (Lover Dearest, Masterpiece Theatre Part one/two/three, Fallout, September, Say Anything) OR their most recent stuff, particularly their album Phantoms or Astoria, since its supposed to be played like a movie soundtrack.
i’m usually too scared to comment but omg i never thought i’d see someone comment about Marianas Trench yes this would be absolutely amazing. i think he would love the meanings behind the lyrics and just the musical talent the 4 of them have. it would be awesome if he reviewed the new album whenever that comes out as well bc it seems like it is gonna be amazing from the small clips Josh has shared:)
You DEFINETELY have to check out Jack Stauber! it has a really unique vibe and songs, and I feel you'd have very insightful opinions on it (as always lol). I always appreciate your comments and little rants, thank you for what you do!
Please listen to mxmtoon, I'd love to see you react to their wonderful songs. I love you, greetings :) (some of her songs are: my feelings are fatal, prom dress, seasonal depression, temporary nothing or untitled)
hey bill, i hope that you’re doing okay! thank you so much for all of the effort and energy and time that you put into these videos. they(and you) are so wonderful. i’m not sure if you care or still enjoy cavetown-but he just released a new ep that i think you’d really like! anywhoozers take care!
God, I love you !!!! I got those same interpretations from Favorite Crime and I related and I felt valid but also invalid bc I thought I was being dramatic. But it feels so much better that I’m not the only one who kinda understood the trauma with that song!
I don’t have time to watch this rn, but this comment section is always so supportive and I wanted to share exciting news!!!! Just was diagnosed with autism after 17 years, my mom is finally respecting my name and pronouns, and I just got my puppy Winifred who’s being trained to be a service dog!!!!!! Edit: Y’all are so sweet 🥺🥰💗 Here’s a picture of Winnie: imgur.com/gallery/iwRVi1m
For me enough for you really gets me because I’ve been there where I’ve torn myself apart just to be enough for someone who never really cared and it really hurt me but when I realized how hard I was trying and how they just weren’t I left because even though it hurt like hell I knew it’s what I needed and honestly it still hurts sometimes but I’m doing better because I know I’ll find someone who dose care some day
PLEASE DO A REACTION IN BO BURNHAM!!! I REALLY WANNA HEAR YOUR OPINIONS ABOUT IT!!! songs: -sad -left brain, right brain -from god’s perspective -we think we know you (live) -art is dead -rant AND OR PLEASE DO A REACTION TO ALL OF HIS SONGS IN HIS SPECIAL INSIDE!!!!! PLEASE!!!!!
id love to see your reaction to mxmtoon! some songs id recommend are: porcelain unspoken words dream of you fever dream almost home asking for a friend first love your work :)
you should try to stan the band waterparks! some songs of theirs are turbulent, rare, fuzzy, lowkey as hell, little violence, i miss having sex but at least i don’t wanna die anymore, and bones of ‘92!
Give Will Wood a shot, he's amazing. Some of my personal favourites: -Hand Me My Shovel I'm Going In. -Love, Me Normally. -I/Me/Myself. -Marsha, Thankk You for the Dialectics, But I Need You to Leave. -...well, better than the alternative.
I think you would really like Lucy Dacus. Some of her standout tracks are: Night Shift Map on a Wall Body to Flame Thumbs (beware that this one is really heavy though)
I love you in the most platonic, cuddly way 😘 Btw I wanted to complement your editing and general quality, it's something that is easily missed. 😉 I want to also suggest new Twenty One Pilots album, Scaled and Icy, I think you would enjoy it 😁 Hope the moving goes well and remember to take a break when you need. 😉
Hey can you do a Trying To Stan Waterparks? They released an album called Greatest Hits also on May 21st and got overshadowed by all others when their new album is such a banger lyrics and musically. It's a longer album and a complete different style compare to all of their older stuff and I would love to see your take on it because it's an extremely personal (as usual) emotional outlet for the lead singer Awsten
something I really like about her music is that it doesn't put down the other girl. Her music has the vibe of "you chose her over me and that sucks, but I'm not going to put her down for the choices you made."
She even complimented the other girl too which is very mature of her
It makes it that much sadder. She’s obviously being the bigger person by not putting the other girl down. She waited to be mature enough, but he was the immature one all along
the sadder part is some of her very young/immature fans haven’t realized that yet 😫 ~like no she doesn’t want to y’all to send hate~
@@almightyotaku6615 which sucks, because even after complimenting the other girl and not putting her down, the other girl put olivia down and turned it into something it wasn’t
Did he reac to jealousy jealousy?

I love how in her music she never attacks or slags off the new girl, when she attacks its to the boy
exactly! with lyrics like “she’s so sweet, she’s so pretty” and “she’s everything i’m insecure about” like she continually compliments this girl and the emotion maturity that takes is so crazy

I sometimes feel lucky to be born at the same time as her, and being almost her age, I feel everything she's going through, and thus her music helps a lot
EXACTLY! I feel like this album came out at the perfect time for people our age.
Me too I’m a bit younger than her so I get her songs as I’m going through it. Literally sour released like 2 days after I got broken up with
favourite crime is my favourite on the album. every line in that song hits so fucking deep it hurtssss
Completely agree!! It’s so underrated but it’s lyrically beautiful & gets me every time!

thank you!
He truly is ❤️
LMAO “happier! wheee! I just want positive nice things for everybody!” and its one of the most emotional ones :,)
After the release of his new special, I really want to see a “trying to Stan bo Burnham” even if it’s some of his older work.

hearting the awareness, and information. not hearting the situation.
I thought she never confirmed who she was writing about and even if she was writing about herself.
An 18 and 16 year old dating isn’t a crime. Romeo and Juliet law.

yes, the music video was inspired by Jennifers body and directed by a young female director who's photography is absolutely ethereal (Petra collins)
I think *wobbly voice through tears* "I liked the album a lot!" is a very universal experience for Sour. XD
“You alright there champ? Oh my god there’s a fire hello... Ma’am I’m gonna need you to leave the building.” 😅😂
Hey, I would suggest that you listen to NF. Some of his songs: Mansion, Therapy session, Why, how could you leave us
Also Lost In The Moment, If You Want Love, Intro III and Trauma!
Yes!
I feel like this album is a bit like going through the stages of grief. sometimes you're sad, then angry, then sad again and it's all valid
bill - love you man. keep up the great work. you're full of empathy. i love this.
Yeah, I'm always touched by how well Bill can express his feelings and perspective and also understand others
jealousy jealousy is my fav song off the album. it hits on a new level. i grew up with the internet and currently am and i let everyones positives have a negative effect on me. i constantly compare myself and wish i could be people i dont even know. its so toxic.
I love how this album is like the five stages of grief like as soon as you feel like you can let them go or you know someday someone will treat you the way you deserve something the next day will take you all the way back to the anger and hurt
I really enjoy your reactions! :) Sour is such a great album. I've been listening to it almost constantly. I loved re-listening to it with you!
I'd love to see you try to stan Ashe (or her album Ashlyn), Louis Tomlinson and Orla Gartland (who is a great friend of dodie's)
I like how she didn't bring down the other girl but whenever she brings her up she compliments her
best commentary as always :) everyone say “thank you, bill!!!”
ok but the way i listened to this album and thought “bill would love this omg”. been waiting for you to react to this album.
Trying to stan LOONA!
-Butterfly
-Let Me In
-Kiss Later
-Love Cherry Motion
-Girl Front
-New
-Heart Attack
-Egoist
-Hi High
Brutal is one of my favourites because its so relatable
I love hope ur ok too :)
I've been waiting for this video, this album helped me deal with my heartbreak, I love it so much
i love how you manage to analyse and go into each song in so much depth- great video!
thank you! :)
I do hope you get to try to stan Sabrina Carpenter and Mary Lambert if you can or have. Their music is healing
I came to the comments to see if anyone had recommended Sabrina Carpenter yet!
good luck with moving bill!! hope everything goes smoothly :D
your reaction to hope ur ok- me too, me too (i sobbed like a baby the first time i heard it)
oh i’ve been waiting for this one bill 👀 hope ur okay buddy
Good 4 U immediately made me think of misery business by Paramore when I first heard it!
Yes the remix with both together is just perfection 👌
same!
Bc the song sample was misery business
i absolutely LOVE finding pop culture references in music. the 'deja vu' mv and 'good 4 u' mv are both inspired by a fair few films and tv shows. deja vu was inspired by Ingrid Goes West and Killing Eve, and good 4 u had the cheerleading outfit from Princess Diaries and you were right with the Jennifer's Body reference. except for Princess Diaries, they all contain lead female characters that are considered psychotic, kind of like the media portrays her out to be. and in Princess Diaries the main female character is into a guy with the same name as the ex she sings about.
I was checking the channel for this video EVERY DAY since the album came out. Worth it.
Just recently started following you, n I must say I love your reactions.... your vibes & the things you gotta say are awesome... n about ur situation @ home, it will get better bud ✊😎 hang in there.. you matter 😊👍
3rd time may i suggest: trying to stan SUGR?
songs i recc:
-oh, death
-what happened
-make it hurt
-strapped
-back with you
:)
“Ew no gaslighting thank you.”
Periot sir.
1 step forward 3 steps back, enough for you, favorite crime, and hope ur ok fcked me the fck up. relatability aside, she really knows how to compose her lyrics in the way that even though i never experienced that personally, i was easily sucked in and empathized with her. everything felt so vivid and real and concrete as if i was there myself. i love her self-awareness, while also recognizing that it's not her problem, it's him problem. plus point for brutal and good 4 u for summoning my teen angst rage to the front 😂
great video! this made me love the album even more. I personally loved watching all the react channels videos about sour but this was definitely my favorite; you talk about the lyrics so interestingly! Favorite crime was so emotional for me as well and was my favorite for that reason. I liked that the metaphor made the complex relationship a bit more understandable while also still keeping it ambiguous. beautiful but tragic
I didn’t really like driver’s license initially because it wasn’t my type of music, but I loved most of the songs on this album (especially brutal and good for u). Her music is so versatile and for that I admire Olivia Rodrigo.
Also how sad is it that traitor and enough for you fit two of my past relationships
while being only a few years older than her this album is so nostalgic for me even tho it's new. i remember being in high school and feeling so many of the things she expresses from favorite crime and being in relationships with people older than you who you shouldnt be with to brutal talking about how the world is shit and teenagers get hit with the brunt of it.
hi bill, thank u so much for your insight on favourite crime !!!! I grew up in abuse and had a horrifically abusive relationship 2 years ago when I was 16, and that song hit me really hard and I haven’t seen anyone else realize the implications of the song. It was really validating, thank you!!
this video and your take on the songs were brilliant i always appreciate your perspective!!
you should react to Waterparks, they dropped a new album called Greatest Hits on the same day as Olivia Rodrigo, and it has a really interesting sound. much love
you should do trying to stan bo burnham, he just brought out a new special called inside on netflix! i recommend listening to:
- sad
- art is dead
- problematic (hold me accountable)
- welcome to the internet
- left brain right brain
- repeat stuff
I totally recommend listening to the rare americans, particularly their two newest videos: "Baggage" and "Mama Bear"
"Brittle Bones Nicky" is really good too and has a sequel
Great video as always 💜💜💜
I second Brittle Bones Nicky and also recommend Ryan & Dave
i just want to tell, i was having a horrible day and your video bring me so much comfort, thank you
HOPE YOU'RE DOING GOOD BILL
im so happy you read favorite crime as darkly as i did fills me with some peace, most people read it as just a bad breakup/relationship but i always immediately thought that darkest reading when i listened. probably from experience but... i took crime and accomplice and alibi very literally....
She did promo with sour patch kids and the current running theory is she's gonna drop a second album full of her unreleased love songs bc "sour sweet gone". Shes a big swifty so the theory holds water im excited to see what goes down
I would suggest youd listen to Marianas Trench! They're a canadian band and talk a lot about mental health issues, as well as addiction (the lead singer, Josh, had an addiction to heroin before the band started). I would recommend either their old stuff (Lover Dearest, Masterpiece Theatre Part one/two/three, Fallout, September, Say Anything) OR their most recent stuff, particularly their album Phantoms or Astoria, since its supposed to be played like a movie soundtrack.
i’m usually too scared to comment but omg i never thought i’d see someone comment about Marianas Trench yes this would be absolutely amazing. i think he would love the meanings behind the lyrics and just the musical talent the 4 of them have. it would be awesome if he reviewed the new album whenever that comes out as well bc it seems like it is gonna be amazing from the small clips Josh has shared:)
YESS. I’d love to see him react to marianas trench!! Their music has helped me a lot
Yes! Marianas Trench please!!!
You DEFINETELY have to check out Jack Stauber! it has a really unique vibe and songs, and I feel you'd have very insightful opinions on it (as always lol). I always appreciate your comments and little rants, thank you for what you do!
Please listen to mxmtoon, I'd love to see you react to their wonderful songs. I love you, greetings :)
(some of her songs are: my feelings are fatal, prom dress, seasonal depression, temporary nothing or untitled)
up up up
yes yes yes. i love my ted talk and suffice too!
Unspoken Words is really great too :)
wait does maia not use she/her pronouns? /gen
@@devragoldhaber8953 Yes she does - as far as I know at least
hey bill, i hope that you’re doing okay! thank you so much for all of the effort and energy and time that you put into these videos. they(and you) are so wonderful. i’m not sure if you care or still enjoy cavetown-but he just released a new ep that i think you’d really like! anywhoozers take care!
End of brutal gives me billie vibess
Trying to Stan Julie and the Phantoms
!!!
i was waiting for this reaction!!!!
God, I love you !!!! I got those same interpretations from Favorite Crime and I related and I felt valid but also
invalid bc I thought I was being dramatic. But it feels so much better that I’m not the only one who kinda understood the trauma with that song!
I don’t have time to watch this rn, but this comment section is always so supportive and I wanted to share exciting news!!!! Just was diagnosed with autism after 17 years, my mom is finally respecting my name and pronouns, and I just got my puppy Winifred who’s being trained to be a service dog!!!!!!
Edit: Y’all are so sweet 🥺🥰💗
Here’s a picture of Winnie:

Aw good for you love !! I’m very happy for you !
Congrats!!!
Omg congrats!!!!
congrats! :)
congratulations!
Oh yeah let’s go, I was wondering when Bill would Stan this!! 🥳
For me enough for you really gets me because I’ve been there where I’ve torn myself apart just to be enough for someone who never really cared and it really hurt me but when I realized how hard I was trying and how they just weren’t I left because even though it hurt like hell I knew it’s what I needed and honestly it still hurts sometimes but I’m doing better because I know I’ll find someone who dose care some day
this is the reaction that I've been waiting foorrrrrrrr!!!
Love u and Olivia
PLEASE DO A REACTION IN BO BURNHAM!!! I REALLY WANNA HEAR YOUR OPINIONS ABOUT IT!!!
songs:
-sad
-left brain, right brain
-from god’s perspective
-we think we know you (live)
-art is dead
-rant
AND OR PLEASE DO A REACTION TO ALL OF HIS SONGS IN HIS SPECIAL INSIDE!!!!! PLEASE!!!!!
I clicked so fast and have completely abandoned my school work
MEEEE
do your school work please!
@@thethirdbill dw bill it’s all done :)
I love these videos because I love seeing someone love the music that I love and enjoy it
YESSS I WAS LITERALLY JUST WONDERING IF YOU WERE GONNA MAKE A VIDEO ABT HER NEW ALBUM.......
id love to see your reaction to mxmtoon! some songs id recommend are:
porcelain
unspoken words
dream of you
fever dream
almost home
asking for a friend
first
love your work :)
you should try to stan the band waterparks! some songs of theirs are turbulent, rare, fuzzy, lowkey as hell, little violence, i miss having sex but at least i don’t wanna die anymore, and bones of ‘92!
I second this!!!
yes!!!
Give Will Wood a shot, he's amazing.
Some of my personal favourites:
-Hand Me My Shovel I'm Going In.
-Love, Me Normally.
-I/Me/Myself.
-Marsha, Thankk You for the Dialectics, But I Need You to Leave.
-...well, better than the alternative.
I think you would really like Lucy Dacus. Some of her standout tracks are:
Night Shift
Map on a Wall
Body to Flame
Thumbs (beware that this one is really heavy though)
I love you in the most platonic, cuddly way 😘
Btw I wanted to complement your editing and general quality, it's something that is easily missed. 😉
I want to also suggest new Twenty One Pilots album, Scaled and Icy, I think you would enjoy it 😁
Hope the moving goes well and remember to take a break when you need. 😉
the whole good 4 u music video is a reference to jennifer’s body!
Also the opening of the music video is a reference to the Japanese horror film Audition!
Not exactly the whole video. Many parts of the video were references to other movies.
YES LETS VIBE AND BE SAD TOGETHER
WHO'S IN?
Hey can you do a Trying To Stan Waterparks? They released an album called Greatest Hits also on May 21st and got overshadowed by all others when their new album is such a banger lyrics and musically. It's a longer album and a complete different style compare to all of their older stuff and I would love to see your take on it because it's an extremely personal (as usual) emotional outlet for the lead singer Awsten
