All eyes on me REACTION

[@LithiumProductions]

Great reaction! For me, I think the tragedy is that he actually WAS in a good enough mental place to start live performances again - he just WASN'T in a good enough mental place to spend a year isolated in his home while the world around him fell into disease and chaos. So his fall back into depression and anxiety is even sadder, because it WASN'T inevitable.

[@TherapeuticReactions]

I started doing stand up few months before the covid started, it took me literally a lifetime to get ready to go on stage and put myself out there just to get quarantined after so, I understand what you're saying! Thank you for a great comment!

[@Brooke-rw8rc]

Just before this song, you hear the crowd cheering. In the special, Bo was broken, weeping on camera while a voiceover played of him talking to his "crowd", saying "There's just one thing I need from you. Can you do that for me?" And the crowd cheering is where this song starts. He literally needed ONE THING to complete his healing journey: reconnection. He didn't get it. He probably still hasn't to this day. His loss of control at the end is the bookend to that question. "Can you do that for me?" He knows no one listening at home got up out of their seat.

[@ImNoclue]

I don't think I would call this falling back so much as fighting back.

I swear it feels like everyone was in their best mental state January 2020 ‘And then.. the funniest thing happened..’ 😅😬

[@jackr.4953]

It's fascinating for me watching people react to this song for the first time. People who are empathetic, who are actually *listening*, there's always a moment--around when Bo looks into the camera--when you can see it hit them. There is so much emotion in this piece, so much raw abandon that I can't fathom how some people don't see it.

[@TherapeuticReactions]

Same, I can't not see it

[@ChampyTha_Champion]

What I got from this song was, he needed to be uplifted, and when he picked up the camera you notice he's moving it were his head is kinda going, meaning he's trying to show his perspective, trying to put himself in the spotlight, he the one who now needs to be be healed by comedy if you get what I mean, not a very deep perception but that's what I got as of right now

Thank you for that thoughtful comment Jon, and for sharing. I just filmed another reaction where I share at the end that I was dealing with depression for 10 years or so, so it's really you who is spot on because I know how it's like being in that depressed state and thoughts about life that comes with it, and you know it good enough yourself. You, we, are not alone, thank you for subscribing, for joining me on this journey. I appreciate you Jon, feel free to talk to me whenever :)

[@JeremyEllwood]

Jon. I concur on all accounts. I'm 46 years old... and Bo has gotten me through some shit. When I need a cry and a laugh at the same time, I ALWAYS come back to Bo. He's an amazing artist but more importantly, he's an amazing messenger. He helps us know we're not alone. I'm not being hyperbolic when I say I put him in the same tier as people like Robin Williams, George Carlin, etc. We are humans. Let's act and react like it.

[@pallemaniac]

As a guy with similar problems, you should listen to The River by Aurora. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hmjPdmB9ZtR2aZY She told the background of the song in an interview. "It’s quite a happy song… it’s been a while since I’ve had a joyful song so it feels very nice. It was inspired by something quite sad as I looked at the suicide rates on this planet and apparently 73% of them were men and then I thought, why is that the case? Then I realized, obviously, it must be because of the feeling that you can’t talk about your emotions and show that you’re in pain because pain is often associated with weakness but you know, here in my world it’s not, so the song is inspired by something quite sad but it is also happy because crying can be such a positive experience, especially afterwards when you actually feel a bit lighter. It’s about that feeling to let off some steam as they say here in England." - AURORA

@@TherapeuticReactions in the midst of a marathon of your reacts and I think this comment specifically just sold me in subscribing too. I've been diagnosed with some form of depression since I was 12 (and I turn 40 this year), the current diagnosis incarnation is a combination of major depressive disorder and persistent depressive disorder.

this song was super powerful and made me, along with many others, break down. in context it’s a LOT more life-ruining 💀 this song feels like an unofficial sequel to his song “can’t handle this” (which was the last song he performed before quitting.) i would definitely recommend that one next!

[@soulsurvivor8293]

Something I feel is crucially missed by many or just not mentioned...or may very well be just me projecting. That is the sense of resignation and acceptance in this proformance that resides with the sorrow and pain. It exudes from every facet of it. The composition, the cinematography, the lyrics, the vocals and most importantly his eyes. I sufferer of multiple co-morbid medical & mental conditions to treatment resistant depression. This Coupled with the pandemic & losing my Father to cancer early last year has taken its toll on me for the past year. It's been hard to rebuke or ignore the negative thoughts from these conditions more and more as it came around the date of Dads passing this year. I saw Bo's proformance a few days ago and it hit me so hard I was wincing in pain trying to hold it all back. A full year of pent up grief and sorrow exploded from me in an instant when he said "Got it? OK good, now get inside" , I felt like I finally did get it. Because the only two times I have seen that look in the eyes of someone were; My friend who passed years ago and my father's the last time I saw him shortly before he passed. I didn't realise what it was with my friend & still didn't fully grasp it with my father. Until I saw Bo pour his pain out in that room with all his heart, until I stared at Bo's eyes bore that familiarity and he sang those lyrics. It all clicked and I just stopped trying to hold it back...I began to truly view all my ailments as part of me and not as just conditions I have. It may very well be projection on my part but I feel that acceptance of how he feels, a sorrowful relegation of acceptance of such conditions as being part of who he is. Who I am. Who we are. And understanding that it's OK to not be OK...

[@Brooke-rw8rc]

You absolutely nailed the emotional resonance of this song, but I feel like you didn't give enough attention to the literal words he said and how they interconnect. As an autistic person, this is the single most frustrating thing about many therapists. He explicitly states what this song is about. He self-isolated for 5 years, improved his mental health, and NEEDED to reenter the world to complete that healing. And then quarantine happened. This song isn't Bo singing, for the most part. It's Bo's depression winning him over with a love song. "It's almost over, it's just begun." "Don't be scared, don't be shy, come on in the water's fine." "Got it? Good. Now get inside."

[@TherapeuticReactions]

Thank you for enlightening me with that, it's what I felt but you're right!

I think it speaks for itself as to how powerful this song was for the fact Bo won a Grammy for it. Somehow he conveys everything so effortlessly and I've admired that since I first found him back in I think 2007 here on KZbin. It broke my heart when I saw him perform one of his last shows in 2015, but I understood why. So when he announced this special, I was absolutely thrilled he was going to share that side of himself with us again.

I’ve dealt with pretty severe anxiety and depression for most of my almost forty years and just when I thought I couldn’t take anymore, so many horrible things happened in my family right before and during COVID that I feel as though I broke through the ceiling of sadness, died and became someone new. Stronger in every way. Bo’s special ‘Inside’ hit me on so many levels through his translation of sadness into beauty that he no longer resembled just an artist or performer but rather a collective voice finally telling a truth that so many people around the world fear so much that they almost dare not speak it’s true name. The name of Life in all it’s beauty but also it’s unjust cruelty. To know that no matter what we do, someday we’ll all be in that space where everybody not only knows everybody but becomes one with a shared understanding of the universe is a wonderful thing. No need to rush it. Just to be able to put one foot in front of the other, moment by moment, is a gift in and of itself. Thank you for covering his craft.

What got me with this is when he was holding the camera the cheering got louder, almost like cheering for breaking down or while breaking down. Emotional rollercoaster one side upset cause his fans (me) are the cheers that caused it, the wow thats a great performance but then im cheering again how does an audiance give back what he gives his audience is what i got left with after...

[@Princeofmellon]

the way i always interpret the song, is that this is 2 versions of Bo. where one is a young Bo panicing on stage. whit the other is a mature Bo singing to try and calm him, Young Bo: Get your fucking hands up, all eyes on me, all eyes on me. (and later on) get your hands up get your head down, like they are worshiping him, all eyes on him waiting for him to entertain them Mature Bo: are you feeling nervous? are you having fun? it's almost over. Young Bo: its just begun. Mature Bo: dont overthing this. look in to my eyes (or look in to the crowds eyes) dont be scared, dont be shy. come on in the waters fine. (come out on stage everything's fine)

I'm glad for Bo, he not only realized the mental issues that he had and he also took steps to combat it. I never even realized my mental was ever declining till I was sent to a mental institute and was given a doctor's note that I have dysthymia. It was a bomb dropped on me and I never knew that I the way I've been feeling and thinking all this time was unhealthy. So again, I'm glad for bo.

i always took this about how the entertainment started with a catchy song and trying to get the crowd to interact by participating with an easy chorus to sing back.. and getting their hands up... and the entertainer involving them so that the have a good time.. then the audience faded and he said "get your hands up! get your fuckin hands up!" and grabs "the audience" after being hostile because the change was it wasn't about giving the crowds a good experience anymore. Instead, the performer wanted the worship and all eyes on me becomes even more self-serving.. maniac laughing starts.. drunk with power/fame etc..

I hope Bo makes good in the end & doesn't cater to the machine he's rallied so long against.

[@Femtastico]

Great reaction! What did you think of the part where he got mad at the camera as the imagined audience that was just there still and unmoving? I watched part of Inside again today and you know, as much as Bo has a complicated relationship with his audience, he truly missed it, being alone in his room performing for himself and that black unspeaking, unlaughing camera of his. It feels desperate right? Like 'get up!!' he craves an interaction. Even though he had anxiety performing before. Also, I read this in another comment so this is not original: "we're going to go where everybody knows everybody"; ergo, INSIDE

[@TherapeuticReactions]

Thank you! It feels to me that in the part he gets mad at us, the audience, he really gets mad at himself for giving it so much room in his life, the validation he needs which keeps him from achieving whatever it is his aiming for. Pray for me, it's not your fault that I'm mad at you, I'm mad at myself. That's what I got from that part, what do you think?

Not gonna lie... occasionally, I eat magic mushrooms (come at me feds). When I do, it's minimal... it's microdosing. When I do that, I watch Bo Burnham. The reason is because he allows a full cathartic experience that I would very much need at the time. This is one of the songs that help with that. He's seriously an emotional genius. He knows what we need to hear and how we need to hear it.

@@TherapeuticReactions This song was about how people essentially worshiped him for being some kind of genius, even you call him a genius in a lot of your videos. The Head down, hands up, that's how Christians give praise to god. The song was saying "You praised me even though I asked you not to, im going to show you how broken I really am so maybe you will understand that im not worth praising". Bo Burnham hates being called a genius, he hates being treated like he is some amazing person, it is because of that praise that he was having those panic attacks and his mental health took a nose dive. The Ironic thing is that this Special he made to say "The World is Fucked." and "Stop Praising Me" has been called his greatest special ever, and everybody is calling him a genius for it, praising him more.

[@dezza_who6649]

I absolutely adore your reactions and perspective on all of these videos. This one can be taken a lot of different ways in some parts, but yours felt very spot on to how I’d first perceived it as well, especially his voice. Bo tends to use different distortions to convey different emotions, and this is definitely his Depression voice, just like you suggested. If you haven’t watched it yet, That Funny Feeling is another very amazing and introspective song from Inside, and I would highly recommend it. I had to stop this special several times the first time I watched it, because I was not in a good mental place and everything hit home so hard, but That Funny Feeling was the one that finally knocked my foundation out from under me and made me breakdown.

[@thedrixk637]

I think this is his personification of a panic attack. He says to get your hands up and your head down and pray for him. This posture of hands up and heads down is one we associate with worship and he has shown his unease at both craving and fearing being the center of attention combined with his deprecation of self. Its a kind of internal conflict that can really cause a division in your spirit. To make it worse he is alone now just as he decided he was ready to accept that attention again. COVID boom lockdown and he is inside again he is "going to go where everybody knows everybody knows everbody" right back inside. All the moments where he is looking us dead in the eyes and telling us its fine, I think he is also telling himself that. I don't know we never really can without him telling us but I'm thankful the world has a talent like his.

I know there’s so much to this video/song to break apart and react to. I’m curious what you thought about his addition of the crowd noise (laughter and applause)? Loved the reaction and looking forward to more from your therapist point of view. 😊

[@TherapeuticReactions]

Thank you for the great comnent ❤️ It feels to me the crowd is there in order to put emphasis on how disconnected everyone else from what we're feeling or thinking (when it's it's really us who's disconnected from the fact that the statement above is an objective truth because no one can really experience what we feel, it's only ours). To be more accurate, when I'm telling the story of how I (Bo) had extreme panic attacks while on stage and the fact it was so extreme he had to work on himself alone for 5 years only to receive a laugh from the crowd shows (at least to me) that people will never experience what we've experienced and we should in fact keep going with our own success in mind, without letting the crowd (other people, not necessarily a crowd) dictate our path. What do you think?

[@stephonix616]

@@TherapeuticReactions love that perspective! I think it’s hard to remember that, while informed by others, what we experience is our own. When I saw this, I was actually looking at it from the context of what I know about Bo’s experience. I’ve seen his other specials and seen his relationship with the crowd and this song was telling (though not surprising). I think the crowd plays a huge part in his anxiety, but as an artist, the audience is necessary. It’s a strange dichotomy that I can’t even imagine having to process. I think his inclusion of the crowd here was him paying homage to his fans as well as his anxiety…if that makes sense.

[@zachoxley]

“A Depressed Dream” really hit for me

[@randys4467]

I think there's a few layers to this song. That or I've just thought about it way too much. :p First, it's pretty obviously about his battles with anxiety/depression. This has been analyzed a ton, including in this great video, so I won't go into it. 2nd, it's about his desire to get back out there and perform live, but not being able to due to COVID. How he went from having the crowd's attention and not being able to handle it to wanting the crowd's attention but not being able to get it. How now he has to cope with that after finally getting his anxiety in check to the point where what would be healthiest for him would be to have the crowd's eyes on him. The line that really brings this idea home for me is "Got it? Good. Now get inside." That and when he freaks out at the end of the song and grabs the camera. Lastly, it's about how the pandemic put us all in the same position he was in- trapped. Bo's anxiety trapped him, keeping him from doing the things he loved, and left him hiding from the world. The pandemic trapped us in our homes, similarly keeping us away from the things we wanted to do. Hence the section where he says that the world already ended and repeating the phrase "we're going to go where everybody knows". I think all of these ideas are also reflected in the timer in the background filling up and the battery dying down, as if it's showing someone (whether it's Bo or everybody) reaching their limit.

Hey Reaction Guy. Can I just say I think you seem like an awesome dude? Let's grab a beer! Just kidding, I don't drink anymore. But for real, wow, what a heartfelt take on who I think is one of the best artists of the century. No exaggeration. I saw those almost-tears forming. I cry pretty much every time I watch "All Eyes on Me." I don't know if its because I've not healed from my trauma, because I relate to him so much, because I have crippling deppression, because Bo is just so cogent. Regardless, You've made my day with this. Thank you.

Thanks for giving me affirmation on this internet deal lol. Take care brother. I’ll watch more of what you post and may say something again.

I can't laugh at a single song on that special. You can see the pain in his eyes in literally every song on it. It destroyed my heart once again.

❤️❤️ I can relate

So first of I wanna say i genuinly enjoy your reaction. I like the empathy you show. The way it strikes you, how you have swallow at some points and how you put on a smile and try to deal with it But what makes me struggle with pretty much all reacts to this song that i have watched ist that no one really takes care of the Lyrics and what he tells. There was Not a Single Person whos Like "So he isolated 5 years and when he felt like coming back he had HAD to isolate" or just a " Jan 2020... What a bad Timing". And even more the Song Lyrics that come after that. I really don't get it hes SO obvious 🙄

Thanks man! Appreciate it! Yeah I thought about that afterwards, the fact he is now forced to isolate, very on point comment, thanks again Andre

I hope you watch everything Bo Burnham, even if you don't record it all. Videos are cool but his full shows are more enjoyable.

You kinda look like Tom cruise

Haha, I've been told 😄

You're the one i want to press space and explain

[@TherapeuticReactions]

That is a beautiful thing to say, thank you ❤️

Saying this cause I enjoy your content, you should mute your reaction clips during the vid parts if the audio from your earpods is audible like in this one. Also, where are you from? I assume you're European, but I can't pinpoint your county. I'm subscribing because I've enjoyed your reactions to psychology-related comedy songs, and would love to see you react to Tim Minchin's "Some People Have it Worse Than I", please 🙏 it would be great to hear your input on it

[@saelfaer]

hey, great reaction however please do something to those earpods... i can hear the sound through your earpods AND the video itself... and i can tell they are not in sync :/

[@TherapeuticReactions]

I will!! Thanks for this!

Maybe he’s reaching for ways to get the audience to actually hear his messages through the constant media noise. Like, what TF do I have to do for you to wake up and take this in? Wanna see how the mess looks from up on the stage? Here you go. It’s crazy, but I’m still trying. Daddy gave you some content. What’s it gonna take for you to care again and try and do something? Maybe

[@coffee1080]

this reaction solidified that no matter how much mental pain i go through, no therapist would truly understand

[@NA1c158]

what a blanket statement. and a little arrogant as if you have pain that is too much for someone to understand or help with, almost like you wear it like a badge. If you are looking for an award, its your ego.

[@NA1c158]

what a blanket statement. and arrogant to think you have pain that can't be helped by someone, almost like you're proud of it. If you are looking for an award or something, your ego already has it.
