Right. I believe they recorded the song when she was 13, and setting it up for her to make this video was her 14th or 15th birthday present??

[@lillihartman9802]

@@jcompton8507 correct she was 13 when they recorded ocean eyes and 14 when they filmed the music video

Man's a deep thinker,you can tell by how he looks when he listens,truly LISTENS to music

[@littlepatsygivens4542]

Man, the first time I heard her I was like “DAMN!!!” This chic has def got it goin on!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@bigcatmueller]

This is the first song she did, she was 13 years old.

[@IcyVeinsWithin]

😱

[@rickpallas2001]

You like "live" better than "recorded"? Watch Billie's "No Time To Die" at the Brit Awards. The live performance of her and Finneas' original Bond song, backed by Finneas, Hans Zimmer and orchestra.

[@MegsFK]

Yessssss

[@laurens9663]

Even better, her No Time To Die Live at the Oscar's 2022.

[@rickpallas2001]

@@laurens9663 I really liked the slightly different ending in the Grammy Performance. They never disappoint.

[@laurens9663]

@@rickpallas2001 I agree. They are both amazing though.

[@mitcht2717]

Now you have watched the song that launched it all for Billie (at age 13 and she sounds younger) - FINNEAS wrote this, as well the first one you listened to "When the Partys Over". FINNEAS also wrote "My Strange Addiction", "6 ft. Under", "Watch"; all the others [except those featuring other artists or for shows] are written by Billie and FINNEAS. Billie "LIVE" [like the "live" VEVO videos] are all awesome. I saw her live in St. Paul, MN on March 15, 2022 - so awesome and phenomenal, I was moved to tears - first concert for a 68 yr old male in over 40 years. P.S. I think the blue ink is to emphasize the tears and perhaps to add color and texture to a very simple video [I think (not sure) people holding up and moving behind a sheet - when they didn't have money to spend on a high tech video.]

[@MegsFK]

She directs her newer videos. Can’t wait for you to dig deeper into her catalog

[@andrewkorbel9883]

I’m just checking BE out here. Very controlled singing. Also “mellow beats” approach. I wonder if she ever writes a bridge. Your 1 & 2 BE tunes feel like charming vignettes more than songs. So far she’s good and smart.

[@tammyjackson3113]

She is incredible💚 Billie and Finneas are nominated for an Academy Award for the James Bond song No Time to Die, watch it live from the Brit Awards. You have no idea how Artsy she is, writes, produces and directs her videos. You will be amazed by her videos💚

[@jenniferhof9448]

Yes, she is very involved in her videos. She is directing all her videos at this point. I mentioned this on your reaction of When the party's over - you should really check out her latest video - Male Fantasy - she wrote, directed, and produced the video, and the song is an honest depiction or how someone feels after a relationship ends. Really haunting and beautiful song. One other thing about Billie and Finneas is that they recorded her EP (Don't smile at me) and her debut album (Where do we go when we all fall asleep) in Finneas' bedroom. Now they've moved into Finneas' studio in the basement of his house. And yes, she is so phenomenal live.

[@HalfAzenSensazen]

I think the word you are looking for to describe her voice is "ethereal". And in my opinion the coolest thing about her is that it's not just the song or the album that is her art. She considers the song, album, the music video, the performance live for her shows all to be one thing. She considers every one of the parts while she writes with FInneas.

[@JMosley-f9x]

😂etheric

[@HalfAzenSensazen]

@@JMosley-f9x you’re wrong Ethereal is used in when describing something that is light, delicate, and otherworldly. Etheric is used in the context of energy work or alternative medicine.

[@HalfAzenSensazen]

@@JMosley-f9x so funny haha

[@ktreolo]

You're right about her being a visual artist. She has said she creates the visual story and the writes the song with Finn to fit the story.

[@mirthepeeters65]

Her voice feels like a warm soft warm blanket were you can hide under and shut out this hectic world we live in. im 48y old and only discovered billie a few months ago and now i cant stop listening. She s truly fantastic.

[@yellowwducky]

This was the first Billie Eilish song I ever heard and have been a fan ever since

[@jonathanswink2682]

Bruh....Billy foreal. She is a true talent. You have had the exact reaction to her. She is no joke

[@mistique77]

This was actually a joke between her brother and Billie, he'd told her, I'm going to make you the biggest Pop Star ever... and they laughed...they were in a dance class and their teacher gave them a task to make a song that they could make a dance to... and Ocean Eyes was born 😉 She cries when she hears this because she said that it's so long ago and it's the song that gave her the life she has😘 ps. They had one rule growing up and that was that if they were doing anything musical, they didn't have to go to bed! Her parents are also amazing and it's TRULY a family affair!!

[@mistique77]

@9:00, OMG 😳.... there's SOOO VERY MANY!!! Everything she's done is incredible!!! But with their first album, and her first time directing the whole video, they sweeped the Grammys!!! Literally breaking records!! I believe it was 7 Grammys they both took home together!!! THAT was the song Bad Guy....duh...lol

[@prbd0985]

Yes she got five Grammys the first time and Finneas got five the first time and then the second Grammys that they were nominated she won two Grammys and Finneas won two as well

[@christinagleave9185]

Her brother who plays and sings with her wrote this for himself but decided it fit Billie better and produced it with her.

[@chrisblack6331]

THIS song is what launched her career at 13.

[@iamworthy1302]

She looks different because she was only 13 going on 14 when her she brother wrote this song. The video was filmed at her home, super low budget and she hated wearing make up going forward she has alot more say so in her videos and ends directing all the shortly after that. Too many fav songs. Before I go,I love you,bury a friend are some of the tops. I listen to all 3 of her albums straight though lol

[@stephaniewashburn7700]

I subscribed to your channel after seeing your Billie reactions. You “feel “ her and I have so much respect for you giving her her well deserved props 🖤

[@lilyhenderson698]

I've loved watching this and your when the party's over reaction! She is definitely a beautiful artist especially live, great to see you recognize this so early into discovering her music. Billie is so versatile and puts so much feeling and emotion into her performances. I would love to see you listen to her full discography in order because she's definitely an album artist. You'd start with don't smile at me (EP), then when we all fall asleep, where do we go? (debut album, 7 grammys!!!), and lastly happier than ever (sophomore album that highlights billie's personal and musical growth, so amazing!) she also has an amazing documentary "the world's a little blurry" about her rise to fame and the road to and right after her debut album. it's not only a great insight into billie but also just a great documentary film in and of itself :)

[@cheftekniqakabuletteborn8127]

i mean this is a beautiful song

[@CMDRRustyDog]

At 6:50 she is actually singing "Ocean Eyes" backwards. Billie is incredible. You should really check out as much of her as you possible can. You will find something new on every single song. She is unique.

[@janavolk5834]

She does a phenomenal live version of this, I forget the show it was on but finneas has heart glasses on.

[@markminor70]

What's crazy is the baseline is what hits the heart strings when it kicks in with her voice ❤

[@jphoenixfan]

I think the blue was just to signify tears. This was a very low budget video and was a 14th birthday gift from her family. The song was recorded when she was 13 and was uploaded to SoundCloud and took off. This is the song that got her noticed. The video was recorded the day after her 14th birthday.

[@mistique77]

@6:16, she has a condition called synesthesia which is kinda like how certain colors feel a certain way to her... and Yes she is extremely artistic! She has turrets as well but does a great job with having power over the ticks! I absolutely love her!! She and her brother Finneas are remarkable!! They record most everything in the bedroom or now at his house 😉✌️❤️💕🎤🎶💯

[@stefanfrankel8157]

There's a video of her dance group performing to this song just before she injured herself. It was specifically written as a choreography piece. They just happened to put up the download link. The rest was history.

[@MegsFK]

Next you should do Lovely. Beautiful.

[@rebeccastarovich6079]

Nice chill reaction to a nice chill song. 'Happier Than Ever' is one of her newest and best (the official video is the way to experience that one), but 'Lovely' with Khalid is older and hauntingly beautiful, 'NDA' is funky, 'Bury A Friend' is dark, and 'I'm Not Your Friend' is sassy. Lots of flavors in her repertoire...see which ones you like.

[@madchatter102]

More billie please! U have so much great stuff in store!!!

[@gabic2161]

she was 15 when she released and sung this song but it is a great song you should listen to her more recent songs like lost cause and male fantasy and happier than ever

[@prbd0985]

She was 13 when she recorded this song and 13 when she did the music video

[@mistique77]

@4:21, her mom did that background but Billie hated ALL of the makeup and stuff so after Bellyache she fired her stylist and she has been doing her own and directing her videos since!

[@mikepiccione886]

If you enjoy this you should check out jewel at Woodstock singing angel standing by

[@xx1CRU]

I love this song! Such a VIBE!!! My goodness! A friend of mine does a cover of it that is AMAZING as well. Such a dope song!! I rock with Billie, really dope artist! ✌❤ y'all!!

Do funeral for a friend by her. My favorite

[@simonemullings8191]

You should definitely react to this song live on we found new music

[@tanieshabracken2184]

Love your Billie reactions! You should watch Happier Than Ever, The World Tour (road to opening night)! You'll get a sense of her fun personality and how amazing of a performer she is! I just saw her for the second time in concert and it was amazing!

[@poloreacts27]

She’s an amazing artist

[@markminor70]

That's what happens when family makes a song her brother is balsically a awesome techno crazy prodigy genius producer and a musician but he says in the back

[@rbo350]

I think she wrote this song in her teens with her brother Finius

[@jacobblalock9647]

The ending melody I call it mermaid music, that’s the only way I can explain it 😂

[@earlsterling8092]

Maybe I don't know how to react to videos but I normally watch/listen to the whole video before I react to it

[@cristellebeau]

You just saw her first video right here and I have goosbump everytime Iistening to this song! Billie is my favorite artist! She's UNIQUE and so talented! Here she was about 13 y old. I love all of here song but my request for you is go react to her newest video *HAPPIER THAN EVER* You will see her beautiful evluotion!

[@danicasalgado1357]

Listen to bitches broken hearts her live vevo performance actually watch any of her live vevo performances you won’t be disappointed.

[@beatrice9520]

maybe ur not ready for this but the HAPPIER THAN EVER song and album IS A MUST TO LISTEN TO..

[@wonderlandian8465]

So if you like her live better than recorded, definitely check out her live performance of this very song on "WE FOUND NEW MUSIC with GRANT OWENS". It's the most beautiful version of the song imo. Billie is amazing live so if you enjoy live performances you will be very pleased. But like others also mentioned, she has some fantastic videos as well which she often directs.

[@meganteixeira4524]

Please do her happier than ever

[@meganteixeira4524]

@poloreacts27 please do her Happier than ever you will NOT be dissapointed

[@jdrew5367]

Phineas wrote the song for his band but didn’t feel it fit. He gave it to Billie to sing, and he produced it they gave it to her dance teacher to use and decided to put it on sound cloud. Over night success. Billy was 13 years old.

[@laurens9663]

You should also check out her cover of Michael Jackson's Bad for Like a Virgin.

[@christinagleave9185]

This is her at 14. She is alot older now :-P

[@vegannoodls3168]

please react to her recent songs she is 20 now this song you are reacting to she is just 14. Try reactingto : no time to die (james bond soundtrack), happier than ever, lovely, I love you, xanny, your power. Check whichever u want out she is amazing

[@lillihartman9802]

She was 13 when she sang this song and 14 in the music video also her brother Finneas wrote this not Billie

[@testpattern23]

hard to believe she is only 14 here...

[@sammurphy3343]

She was 13

[@brennaofarcadia]

This may make you feel differently, but I think she's singing about Justin Bieber. She was very young when she recorded this.
