First Time Reaction | Twenty One Pilots- UG Studios session "Addict With A Pen"

[@tinathemusiclover2884]

This song is him crying out to God. He grew up Christian but has struggled with his religious beliefs for years. You can hear it woven throughout their entire discography. Amazing song and band ❤

[@angiehh516]

His voice has changed some since then…but I love how much he sings with emotion. He is unique. No one sounds like him.

[@christineg8151]

This song is one of my favorites from them! Always brings me to tears. I've usually seen it as a crisis of faith sort of song, a conversation between Tyler and God, rather than a song about literal addiction. But you're right, he has so much pain in his voice!

[@sherylh2570]

My favorite band!!! Tyler’s pen is amazing and his ability to put so much emotion into each song is like no other. Josh is an exceptional drummer and compliments Tyler so well ❤

Took my family to their concert and will always have a special place in my world for TOP.

[@JasonEbeling-i2u]

I know that I am late here. I stumbled across them off a radio song then i saw them in concert and WOW! They are by far my jam! Love me some TOP

[@Pilutta100]

I heard this version before the original and I was completely blown away, I was shaking so hard. I had no idea it was a song to god, I'm not religious even a milli speck of me. But this song struck me so hard. Proves that beautiful writing can touch anyone's heart no matter religion, or believes. Addict with a pen, is my favourite song from them. F...in geniuses ❤

[@BeccaleemarieBleu]

❤what a beautiful song and message, I think we can all relate to it in one way or another.❤

[@Kerazzy.]

My favourite too. I cried my eyes out when I first heard it.

[@craigkaden350]

Father wash me with your water.. he is very religious and was struggling with his faith. So passionate, brings tears to me every time I hear it.

[@nikita8370]

So glad you did this one. It's one of my top TOPs. So raw and beautiful, especially this version. Very powerful. I tear up evey time. Thank you for appreciating the way we do. 💛|-/💛

[@ImmortalEntity13]

I can’t remember if you have done many of their songs man, i’ve seen so many of your videos but great ones to check out are Ode To Sleep, Trees, and HeavyDirtySoul. Love your vids man🙏🏼

[@Meow-Meow501]

My very favorite Pilots song. It just hits the heart.

[@jeremyrhoades2535]

Hey Cliff, love your channel man love you you’re awesome. I think this is my favorite song too. Because I know how he feels I too I’m someone who was brought up in church. And I too have been in the desert of my mind for years and I have never felt a drop of his water or his life. It's admirable that Tyler still cries out

[@mama_nez]

OOOOOH I LOVE THIS SONG

[@jdee999]

twenty one pilots and sleep token are my favourite at the moment just purely on lyrics

[@SherryBandito]

I love the emotion Tyler puts into his music 💛

[@nelregno4359]

It's simply beautiful.

[@kimzwolinski9919]

❤❤❤ So much emotion. This is my favorite from them.

[@shawnchristy1855]

He has some great acoustic songs

[@dubbayabird6680]

Wow! This song is amazing. Nice reaction Cliff

[@devlinfoyston5522]

Much love from Sudbury Ontario Canada

[@ShawnsLoop]

I don't believe that Tyler has ever dealt with drugs or addition, although you could interpret it that way. He's very spiritual so I believe this is probably more about a conversation with God and his faith. Hence the reference to him being the Son and talking to his father. He hasn't been a good "son". But like you said, it works on so many levels for almost anyone. And it's sung from deep in the soul. So you feel it.

[@jesrush]

Let’s go!✌️😊🌼

[@JacobG093]

This song resonates with me more than damn near any other song. Talking with God because at one point you did believe and have faith. It's so hard because you feel stupid asking for forgiveness for the things you know you'll do tomorrow. Luckily my addictions don't endanger my life but not everyone can say that.

[@Maxwellish]

it’s interesting because i’ve never been religious, yet i still resonate so much with this song. i think it’s just the desperation in it.

[@laurencress2013]

Wow👏👏👏👏👏

[@staciemoisa4884]

This is Tyler's conversation with God. I always liked this song, but after losing three members of my immediate family in four months, it has taken on more meaning to me. I was raised with religion and faith, but after what I went through, I struggled with my faith. I still am. I prayed so hard, but lost them anyway. This song has that emotion and pain of that struggle. It is brilliant and cathartic!

[@nikita8370]

Sending love, fren. 💛|-/💛
