IF I CAN'T HAVE LOVE, I WANT POWER is f*&%ing fantastic ~ Halsey reaction

[@caitlinmariereacts]

GUYS, this video was literally supposed to go up a month ago but copyright was holding it hostage. SO SO happy i can finally share this with you, i love you guys! ✰ Patreon: www.patreon.com/thecaitlinmarie ✰ Instagram: instagram.com/the.caitlin.marie/ ✰ Twitter: twitter.com/thecaitlinmarie

Yaaaay im so happy you were able to take it out of copyright hell

[@jabyerackonstanza]

idk if someone already replied to you but I think people was excited about Lilith bc she is a biblical or fictional character who was the actual "first woman" and she rebeled against god and the purpose that was asignated to her and left, after that Eva was created from the dude rib, sooo Lilith is a sign of resistence and feminism for her empowerment, as Halsey is too haha

[@zeusvelt7895]

PLEASE DO REVIVAL BY SELENA GOMEZ, IT HAS SOME OF THE MOST HEARTBREAKING SONGS EVER

[@gabtoledo5144]

I know this reaction was filmed a long while ago, but in case you still haven't figured out the Lilith thing: Lilith was Adam's first wife, before Eve, and she was created as his equal. Because of that, she refused to be submissive to Adam, and so she was discarded and sent to Hell to become Satan's wife. I don't know if this is EXACTLY how this is story is retailed but this is definitely one of the versions I know to exist. Anyway, this part isn't the most important part. The important thing to know is that, because of her actions, Lilith became a representation of female empowerment, but she can also represent self-destructiveness, corruption, evil, and other things along those lines, because after she became Satan's wife, she became the Mother of Demons, the Mother of Witches, and the female image to everything bad and sinful. The female partner to Evil itself. So, the song talks about Halsey feeling like there is a Lilith inside of her, and she also uses Lilith's imagery to claim that she's deeply and irrevocably wicked, and instead of being ashamed of that and fighting it, she embraces this "monster inside her", as she says in other songs and expands on the rest of the album. The movie also touches a lot on the subject of embracing the darkness inside of you.

[@apoorva5425]

that makes so much sense considering when i researched who lilith was and got almost a similar result. the amount of symbolism is so good because its digestible and yet very unique and understandable.

[@iamlady2003]

People who says that this is NOT a good album, well they don't know a shit. This is an incredible album, and finally someone with good taste as Caitlin said it.

[@coastervelocity3899]

Whispers is fucking amazing. I’ve never known what was wrong with me or what was going on inside my head before I heard that song. It’s the only song where every lyric describes and relates to me, I’ve never felt more understood

this song has helped me build a back bone. it's strangely started helping me reclaim myself.

[@marcelahogemann8976]

I can see why some people get the "metal" vibes, but it's not exactly that. The album was produced by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross and they are from Nine Inch Nails, so you definitely have the rock vibes, but it's not metal it's industrial rock. The whole album brings Nine Inch Nails vibes and fans of NIN are so hyped about it, right in the first 3 seconds of the first song you can hear the piano and Trent's notes. This album is a masterpiece.

The amount of power I felt when I listened to the album every song is empowering 😍

[@lasernikixcex]

This album was produced by Nine Inch Nails, the legendary industrial band that impacted pop, rock, electronic and metal music

[@cali6913]

Lilith is the recognition of our own demons, the acceptance of our flaws: by accepting ourselves as whole, bad and good, comes power

[@oifogs3287]

This is so far my Album of the Year!

[@thenightranger987]

Same. Happier Than Ever, DWTDTAOSO, and Sour (and Evermore according to Grammy’s) are all amazing to me, but you can’t compete with this.

[@pollyanaketchlen6578]

Is the album of the year

[@thomasfrancomusic8852]

Pop Vocal for me, i need evermore to take it, to be fair with her sister, folklore, they're both immaculate

[@nikkis7375]

Same!?

[@grace-hl5hb]

I can picture Halsey singing darling to her child

[@hyneczek]

With Reznor and Ross supporting such a weighty artistic vision, Halsey takes a huge leap forward with this course-changing opus, a revelation that finally presents their most authentic representation of self.

[@thomasfrancomusic8852]

This is her best album, and omg i love your reactions so much.

[@TurtleStormer]

I’m so happy for you that you defied the copyright gods!!!

[@Snoozleberrilichious]

I’ve loved all of Halsey’s stuff but as someone who loves Atticus, Trent and Nine Inch Nails this album so hits so hard. It’s different than her other stuff but in such a good way

[@goldenonsense]

Did I watch it when it first dropped? Yes Will I watch it again and probably more? Also yes

[@soccerchamp81]

The production was everything to me

[@djordjijedjurkovic]

you’re so right about “you asked for this” it makes me sick cause it has such a strong effect of nausea and sickness but in slow motion and that’s why i love it sm

[@natttrash]

she said the production has 33 guitars that's why it also feels so overwhelming

[@cvx5595]

Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross showing newer generations what real music sounds like. They're production and her lyrics and sound are fucking perfect.

[@nikkis7375]

My fav album of the year. I love Halsey so incredibly much as a person and as an extremely talented artist and poet. Her lyrics are everything!! The lighthouse being a badass siren song luring men to their death is just incredible lol. So underrated.

[@LiaSH1808]

the intro in "you asked for this" is actually very similar to the intro in "the story of us" by taylor swift !! that's probably why you found it familiar

[@zachcollier1995]

i’m literally obsessed with this album! i’m so excited u did a reaction to their album!

[@BansheePurple]

This album is a whole journey, you can't literally know exactly how to rank it because it has so many different song with different vibes but at the same time all connected???? like you need a long time to process all lmao. One of the things that I love the most about Halsey like you said is of course her beautiful voice and how good she is story telling, I can imagine so many things while listening to her music. She's my favorite artist along with BTS because both are amazing writing lyrics and expressing themselves and they have literally not a single bad song 🙌🏻💕 I love ICHLIWP so much because it has so many like rock vibes that suit Halsey's voice so much like forget me too (a song collab with Machine gun kelly) it's SO GOOD

[@cristianandresospinacastan8111]

You asked for this, whispers and Honey are my favorites! Such a good album. Halsey killed it ❤️

[@dani.p]

YAAAAAAAS!! I'm so happy :) I liked a few songs from Manic but I wasn't a huge fan of the album (I know, I'm the problem here xD but it wasn't my cup of tea). But this album... OMG!!!!! Love it SO MUCH! Still vibing with it. I swear, IICHLIWP and Montero have been on repeat for the last week xD So far my favs albums from 2021 are: Montero, Ashlyn, IICHLIWP, Sour and Happier than ever.

[@MaddyPerez128]

It’s the other way around for me, I loved every song on manic but I only really liked a few (probably like 3-4) on this album when I first listened to it. This album is great but it wasn’t my style but the more I listen to it, the more the songs grow on me. (Especially easier than lying, lighthouse, and honey) Now I like around half of the album: “the tradition”, “lighthouse”, “bells in Santa Fe”, (kind of) “easier than lying”, “girl is a gun”, “I am not a woman, I’m a god”, “ya’aburnee”

[@THIS.IS.MY.OLD.ACCOUNT-1]

I agree I wanted to like manic but didn't love but THIS is my favorite album right now

[@leocolato]

i didnt like manic, but this one is VERY good

[@mercury2024]

the fact that you've noticed all of the transitions but the one between the tradition and bells in santa fe 😭😭

[@i_like_oats9326]

At the end of "easier than lying" I was expecting her to go "SIRENS!"

[@whydontyoucomehome]

omg that would’ve been incredible

[@nicoled9515]

Album alone is amazing but the visuals reallllly add to the experience and enhance the story telling

[@gatling216]

Coming at this is from the perspective of a NIne Inch Nails fan that never listened much to Halsey, I can’t really compare it to her previous work. But I can compare it to NIN, and the production really harkens back to their album The Fragile from 1999. Listen to The Day The World Went Away and I think you’ll hear the connection pretty clearly.

[@jabyerackonstanza]

She really kill it with this oneeee, it has no skip ✨

[@myrtolefk]

i have so many favourites in this album (basically it is all my favourite) but whispers is my top one and then it's bells in santa fe, the lighthouse, easier than lying, girl is a gun and you asked for this they're good!!

[@pollyanaketchlen6578]

I shiver with whispers every time I hear it's surreal

[@sakheicedcoffee9820]

on you asked for this , her voice is distant vecause the song is inspired by shoegaze songs. its a key feature of the genre for songs to be heavily distorted , reverbed and distant. its very my bloody valentine

[@sadoklajmi]

2:30 u literally gravitated towards my favorite two on the album! Along with I am not a woman and you asked for this now and honestly the rest of the album 😁😁😁😁

[@eleventyseven3742]

I totally relate to that one thing you said in the intro about liking an artist"s music but not really revisiting. For me it was Demi Lovato's last album, i liked it a lot but haven't listened to it since it came out

[@pollyanaketchlen6578]

That's me with Sawayama by Rina Sawayama, it's a incredible album but i only heard once

[@isabellab-c5351]

Lilith is a Judaic figure (Jewish Bible). She was Adam's first wife and was created out of clay (like Adam), but when it came to sex Lilith refused to submit to Adam, believing that they were created equal and thus she should not have to lay beneath him. Adam disagreed with this and in some versions, he cast her out of Eden while in others Lilith left of her own will to claim her independence. Lilith was found by three angels in a cave bearing demon children, but Lilith refused to come back to the garden. Eve was then created from Adam's rib so that she would remain loyal and submissive to him. Lilith is highly regarded as an icon to feminist culture, for her want for equality, though she was often villainised in Judaic Mythology, and her story was used as means to tell young girls to submit to their husbands. Edit: Another way she may be related to Halsey's message, is that in Judaic Mythology Lilith would steal babies and children as a form of revenge against Eve.

[@illuminaldii]

thank you Caitlin for this video! IICHLIWP remain my 2021 album of the year so far, there's a lot of new released album this year but the production of this album is just remarkable! IICHLIWP is a rollercoaster of emotions, we got a lot of vibe in it 🔥💖

Omg I just dropped everything to finally watch this

[@strangemanic]

“i’ll never know if there’s danger in confession or it’s memory that presses like a blade against my throat another word and i could choke but what’s worse?telling you my feelings or to die without revealing that you crawled inside my head and set a fire there instead letting all my insecurities devour me with certainty” THIS is the most beautiful kyrics anyone has ever wrote and i’m not even sorry for saying that.

[@jordanvillegas-murillo6647]

I believe Bells In Santa Fe is about the miscarriages she had. It’s from the perspective of the babies, and that’s why they sing all is temporary, not a happy ending, dont call me by my name and that kind of things

[@natttrash]

it's about the beginning of the relationship with their partner. she calls alev "çiv çiv" which translates to "baby chick". and that's why "you won't even notice little bird"

People say this is not one of her best albums and era, but in my opinion it is

[@suzie_do_you_copy]

Omgg finally!! It came out of copyright hell!

[@P_Clarke68]

This was definitely an amazing album! My favourites are Lilith, You Asked For This, Darling, Honey and Ya'aburnee which, fun fact when translated from Arabic it roughly means "you bury me" which makes sense sense because in the song she is literally saying "darling you will bury me, before I bury you" Anyway, I have loved your channel for a while now and I think another artist you would enjoy who (in my opinion) is underrated just like Sabrina Carpenter, is Tori Kelly. One of my favourite albums by her is Inspired by True Events which is so good. A little bit about her is that she actually auditioned for American Idol but didn't get very far because Simon called her voice annoying but she didn't give up and decided to just do KZbin covers and now she's signed to a label and is living her dream. Fun fact: she was actually on a show called "The Masked Singer" as The Seahorse! she did great but she sadly didn't win.
