But this song is placed at such a point in the special that he's really dealing with some heavy depression, hence the deep distorted chords.

The strongest point musically of the special was the lyricism and the quality of production. In terms of melody, syncopation, etc, it's not groundbreaking, it's just well done. The special as a whole is worth a watch, and the music is an indispensable part, but on it's own, if you just took the notes from the songs, they're not breaking new ground, because they don't need to. Bo, whether intentionally or not, kept focus on the visual elements and the lyrical elements of the special by not trying to also crank the music up to 11. It's catchy and it's good, but it doesn't pull focus away from the other mediums that really drive home the themes and messages Bo wanted to convey.

Inside is a metaphor, not only for quarantine, but also what it's like to be trapped within your own fears and anxieties about the world. The line "you're not gonna slow it, heaven knows you tried. Got it? Good, now get inside." Is describing not only how difficult it is to solve larger issues like global warming without first fixing parts of yourself, and how persistent that little voice in the back of your head can be, to tell you to give up and to go inside. To not try to improve yourself, to be complacent with the way things are. It's a really hallowing song, in my opinion. The larger themes of the special is how the internet consumes us and makes complacency ok. "Got it? Good now get inside"

Hi, Michael! At 2:19 you suggested that the song has "the common I-V-vi-IV progression". I think the progression here is arguably IV-I-V-vi (B - F# - C# - D#m). I know you were working it out on the fly, and going off just a few bars of the song at that point- but I figured it was worth mentioning (especially if anyone tries to play along using I-V-vi-IV and it ends up sounding "off"). Since it loops back on itself, I suppose you could make the case that it's still kinda like I-V-vi-IV, but shifted over by one bar? In practical terms, though, it seems that the melodic phrases (and thus the 4-bar loop) start on IV and end on vi. I'm enjoying your content! I stumbled upon your reaction video to Bo Burnham's "Welcome to the Internet" a week or so ago. I agree with the previous comments that 1) definitely give the whole "Inside" special a watch, if you get the chance; such an amazing piece of performance art and commentary in its whole form, and 2) "That Funny Feeling" would be a great song from the album for you to react to / break down. Keep up the great work!

You really need to see the entire special in order, in context. It's really an incredible accomplishment.

"You can't go anywhere, like you must continue" That has to be one of the most poignant ways of describing Inside as a whole. Especially because of how much it deals with his struggles with mental health and how that feels to him.

Also I would say, what makes your videos blow up, is that yes you are talking about something people who dont play the guitar are searching, but your perspective on it with the guitar is what makes it more interesting to us non guitar players.

I love your genuine reaction to this. From an artistic professional musicians perspective, this utterly floored you and you could tell. There is nothing more magical than when someone TRULY resonates with a song they have never heard, and it was beautiful to see it happen. That's as real as it gets. Fantastic example of passion for the craft. Thank you for sharing. This video brought tears to my eyes and not because of Bo's song.

You might want to react to Can’t Handle This. It’s from the tour he was on five years before and addresses the panic attacks he was going through. While also satirizing Kanye West, observational humor, and the situation of a depressed performer trying to make their fans happy.

I mean, it's not satirizing Kanye, I actually think it's the biggest tribute possible since it basically uses the runaway ending in a brilliant way

@@thebatman1482 I’m sure we can split hairs over satire vs parody vs tribute. He’s emulating Kanye’s format and using it to tell jokes. He even jokes that Kanye spent most of the rant complaining that his $90 t-shirts weren’t selling. I labeled it satire. If you feel it is a tribute, that’s great,

@@willjohnson8446 Yeah the great thing is that he can mix both things. Of course he finds Kanye kind of funny, but I loved his rendition of Runaway, it was really a beautiful homage, sort of in a Weird Al Yankovic kind of way

I'm genuinely torn between wanting to see your cold, first-time watch reactions to all of the songs in Inside, and hoping you watch the whole special. It's so much fun seeing someone geek out so enthusiastically over the music itself. I know almost nothing about music, so I'm learning so much!

No, his voice does not sound like that, it's being manipulated. I highly recommend doing a bit of a deep dive and checking out some of his older stuff. A lot of the older songs where it's just him and his keyboard or guitar, way less production value, but some of my favorite stuff of his. I've always gotten a kick out of his sarcasm and double entendres.

Yep, it's all just stylistic choice. There's a video somewhere on YT where someone's sorta reverse engineered to get as much of his natural vocal track of this and it's super. My vote for next react is New Math.

I really hope this comment catches your attention -- In order to better understand the progression to the video you just watched (All Eyes On Me), you need to watch the last video he made before his five-year-hiatus called "Can't Handle This (Kanye Rant)". Things will make a lot more sense in that context. In reference to the short dialogue Bo made in All Eyes On Me about quitting for five years and the panic attacks, that was a true story and the irony was that he got mentally much better by about January of 2020, which is precisely when the Pandemic hit us and caused our country to "shut down". So yeah, he got better and then had to stay indoors anyway and essentially lose his mind all over again.
