FINNEAS "Love Is Pain" Official Lyrics & Meaning | Verified

[@Gabster]

The way he articulates his words is so satisfying, idk how to put it, so glad this album came out. Forever proud and inspired by you!

[@shookeez303]

he looks like he should have a British accent

awesome dude tho, love u Finneas

[@JeremyJenner]

I always expected him to sound Irish or Scottish

[@somedude6193]

Someone said it's probably about his eyebrows.

[@vlam8208]

The way that he don't need to sing to impress people with his songs in genius's videos ,like other singers is so cool and impressive itself ,because his lyrics always have meaning behind it. Inspires me everytime

[@elssidney]

his skills in songwriting and put all of the deep meaning into one song is so talented man

[@crazygirl21ily]

He has quickly become one of my favorite artists and I wish he got more recognition and wasn’t labeled “Billie’s brother” cause this man is so much more

[@ilianipanagiarimalea6487]

I don't think that he is labeled as "billie's brother" tho. He has regognition but as a producer and as writer. Not as singer. If people realizes it, then its boom

[@whovian1027]

He's not labeled that way on this. And you're the only comment that mentions it. We've reached the point where there's more people complaining about those calling him Billie's brother than there are people calling him Billie's brother.

[@evette2946]

I would disagree, and say he gets a lot of recognition. He has 8 grammys, an ascap, (and other awards)- all for his writing and producing. He is touring this year, he has over 10 million monthly listeners on streaming platforms, a new album. People are supporting and listening to his solo ventures in music. You have to keep in mind, that some people love just creating and could care less about the result of it, however, he is VERY well known as just Finneas. Certainly has made a name for himself at this point!

[@marmarflarflarjarjar]

I completely agree! I just saw his concert in LA and whenever I’d talk about the experience, people were always like “who’s that?” 😭 Like the amount of times I had to say “you may know him as Billie Eilish’s brother” was honestly devastating

[@evette2946]

@@marmarflarflarjarjar Look at speeches abs interviews he’s done, and you know that he has said that statement doesn’t really bother him, he’s not upset, he’s still doing great for himself. Want him to have even more support? Be happy to tell people about his music, to spread the word. He announced that he will be with her on tour until she “fires him”-he’s still happy to be involved in her career.

[@wontuliketoknow]

I wish finneas would sing in those😔 His voice is so beautiful and so rich/full (if that makes sense). He has one of those voices that would sound amazing acapella

[@los4menzos]

Agreed! I also was really hoping to hear that beautiful raspiness on its own.

[@manuba_]

for realll I was hoping he wpuld sing this time :'(

[@hannahg8439]

I liked the way he read it like a poem.

[@daisylpz]

Optimist is amazing! If you haven't yet listened to it I suggest you definitely go do that whenever you have the time! It's great and very relatable! Finneas is great at what he does and I hope you all give his music a chance!

[@lacey9943]

definitely!! i love finneas’ music so much. he’s a lyrical genius. i’m so glad i discovered him

[@matthewmurray4159]

Billie and finneas are prime examples of what happens when you let kids truly explore themselves and chase their passion. Most parents want their kids to be this person instead of letting them be them!

[@madelinesoto4871]

I wish we could talk about him without talking about billie.

[@brownpaperbag6159]

@@yrldarb5625 Phineas is essential to all of Billie's music, we praise him just as much as we prase Billie.

[@mackenziewest2981]

The line “wish it wasn’t mandatory dying” gets me every time😭😭

[@user-ly2cm6zk5l]

I’ll keep saying this until the end of time, this entire album is CRIMINALLY under appreciated! The way the album touches on subjects like anxiety, the world ending and love. I also love how the album is called ‘Optimist’ and some songs are just plain pessimistic. I love this body of work and the amount of attention to detail to all songs.

[@klavenqt]

Y'all should listen to Blood Harmony, you'll understand why his songs are somehow connected to that unique feeling that HE only knows how to put into words. Been falling in love with his music for 3 years now. Such a great man.

[@BrunaClaas]

He’s such an amazing conversationalist, such an inspiration!

[@amoraisonguyo9618]

finneas and claudia are so well spoken

[@brickwalla]

People talk about how much their favorite artists move them but it’s just on a completely different level with FINNEAS his music distorts you in the most beautiful ways possible and makes you feel emotions you didn’t know you had. He has so many fans but is still so underrated and then Optimist dropped and it just further proved how amazing he is. He is amazing and deserves so much

[@8happyperson]

his writing is incredible and probably has written the lyrics that are some of the most painful for me to hear but in the best way.

[@yooniimoto]

His speaking voice is so deep and pleasant to listen to. Extremely good voice for me. I love him.

Can I just sit and listen to Finneas all day? Yes, always.

[@cusny01]

I like that he is a role model for this generation, a voice saying yes it may be hard but it’s worth it. In a world where people use people and love things instead it’s nice to see this type of song. Love makes the world go round.

[@INFJparadox]

Finneas is absolutely brilliant. I saw him in November and it was one of the best concerts I have ever gone to and up close. I saw him in November and he was beyond amazing. I'm a music snob and I'm 51. He did 20 songs in a row playing the piano and different guitars and no breaks! Finneas is a genuine talented musician. Love him and Billie!

[@ephemeralmiracles]

The way Finneas writes his songs is so eloquently getting the message across, it almost makes you think this video would be unnecessary but somehow it wasn't.

[@elisa680]

Why do I have tears in my eyes watching an interview of Finneas explaining "love is pain" ?

[@user-ux1vj9vx7s]

Because you have the emotional depth of a two year old?

[@ytminis]

I want to share something. When this song came out, I listened to it and I listened to it just once. I was so in awe that I decided not to listen to it again. I didn't even watch the video. I'm going to listen to the song of course but I just wanted to share this weird feeling. I admire this song so much that I don't want to touch it again because it's so beautiful. It's like mad level of respect. Doesn't make sense but it is.

[@Madolescence]

this was an entire therapy session and i love it

[@user-vv7og1gt7t]

Every word is so true that he is saying. They need to love you for who you are and there are ups and downs in every relationship! If everything is perfect, it would be boring. To me, true love means two lovers can cry with each other at some point. Don’t follow your path of your parents, you may think their love relationship is perfect, but they may not show you the bad parts.
