Billie Eilish - everything i wanted (Live at NPR 2020)

Please, enable English Subtitles to see full lyrics on screen.
Billie & Finneas singing the coolest and intimate version at NPR Music.
It didn't take long for Billie Eilish to become one of the biggest pop stars in the world, sweep the Grammy Awards' major categories and release the latest James Bond theme. And today, at just 18, she and her brother, Finneas, have accomplished what no one has been able to do for five and a half months: perform a Tiny Desk concert in what certainly appears to be the NPR Music studios.
Everything I wanted - Lyrics
I had a dream
I got everything I wanted
Not what you'd think
And if I'm being honest
It might've been a nightmare
To anyone who might care
Thought I could fly
So I stepped off the Golden, mm
Nobody cried
Nobody even noticed
I saw them standing right there
Kinda thought they might care
I had a dream
I got everything I wanted
But when I wake up, I see
You with me
And you say, "As long as I'm here
No one can hurt you
Don't wanna lie here
But you can learn to
If I could change
The way that you see yourself
You wouldn't wonder why you hear
They don't deserve you"
I tried to scream
But my head was underwater
They called me weak
Like I'm not just somebody's daughter
Coulda been a nightmare
But it felt like they were right there
And it feels like yesterday was a year ago
But I don't wanna let anybody know
'Cause everybody wants something from me now
And I don't wanna let 'em down
I had a dream
I got everything I wanted
But when I wake up, I see
You with me
And you say, "As long as I'm here
No one can hurt you
Don't wanna lie here
But you can learn to
If I could change
The way that you see yourself
You wouldn't wonder why you hear
They don't deserve you"
If I knew it all then would I do it again?
Would I do it again?
If they knew what they said would go straight to my head
What would they say instead?
If I knew it all then would I do it again?
Would I do it again?
If they knew what they said would go straight to my head
What would they say instead?

I don’t think you guys understand how hard it is to sing so quietly without your voice cracking or shaking unnaturally AND keep that much vibrato like this is the DEFINITION of perfect control not to mention she’s barely opening her mouth and she’s getting SO MUCH VOLUME WTFJEIDMFJ

[@GinaGiacalone]

It comes natural for me. Trying to keep the bravado for high notes that require projection are the hardest for me.

[@Kappp23]

“They call me weak, like I’m not just somebody’s daughter” gets me every time!!

[@itsnayifay]

I cry every time she says that line 😩😭

[@antpop1605]

her soft , quiet vibrato is lovely. just perfect, emotional, and soft.

[@dp2120]

The r&b run she does at the beginning is stunning

[@aaries908]

She is telling a beautiful, sad, scary, uneasy story.....For anyone that might care. Beautifully sang!❤😢

[@melinak93]

As dealing with depression and especially a mother of two girls, this song hits me too hard. I seriously cry every single time and I’m a person who smiles and makes other people laugh. You never know what someone goes through. My girls saved me so that’s all that matters.

[@markturner5207]

I particularly love these live performances without the sing a long audience. This young lady is just ridiculous, so talented…

[@GinaGiacalone]

Her brother can play and sing together. It's much more difficult, believe it or not! ❤

[@rbl4641]

This is just amazing- unbelievable song writing, so beautiful, and so poignant and haunting.

[@hearmenow909]

Their song writing is off the charts, most of the songs are masterpieces.

[@paulahorvath9623]

Nothing tighter than family harmony.

[@GinaGiacalone]

He is so talented. He can write. He can produce. He can play while singing. He's also modest enough to use his talents to build his sister up so she feels talented, as well.

[@nick16652]

I remember watching this during pandemic, now I am back listen to this beautiful song again.

[@girliedefensor0506]

damn how does she get that much sound out when she's not opening her mouth wide? genuinely curious

[@lauren5317]

Mic is up p high, you can tell when she's clearing her throat. She's singing v quietly

[@bbbhhh2293]

I also sing like that.. I think the technique of not opening your mouth wide will be more focused and will be better even though it's not very clear haha

[@daytrading5456]

So raw. Beautiful.

[@ChocolateBish88]

I love this better without the beat or whatever 🤍🤍

[@cyriani942]

For me this is the best version ❤❤❤

[@elleselle]

they are both so talented

[@naturalscratcher9498]

The fact that she can hold back or ticks so well is 🤩 amazing!

[@hiddenvalleyranch775]

The fact you actually exist is somewhat amazing.

[@Markaylaa0]

Many people with Tourette’s that sing say that they don’t tik while singing. Something about singing eases them. I guess bc their brain is focused on singing

[@josefeliciano21]

Anyone that thinks you have no talent are full of hurt. Greatness is born with this song.
