First Time Hearing | Twenty One Pilots - Neon Gravestones Reaction

[@brucwayn6403]

This gave me fkn chills Ive never heard this group before but fkn hell im gonna look em up after this

[@carlosavalos1471]

Look up Car Radio by the same artist if you enjoyed this type of song. They can be a little all over the place stylistically, but that will be the most similar to this song

[@jasonstehlick452]

Enjoy the ride, they are an adventure

[@cm-jc9hj]

they are an incredible band with only 2 members and are just unbelievable very good, this band is really big on mental health and has save thousands of us fans. their first album “twenty one pilots” plays a big roll in that along with the singers religion. it was always like a cry for help. like the song “trees” the singer was about 17 when he made that song if i’m not wrong and that is the song very powerful and good. same with addict with a pen, taxi cab, before you start your day…it’s all good. but besides that i highly recommend their album trench.. amazing sound amazing songs. this band is a rollercoaster of emotions.

[@InteriorDesignStudent]

Try listening to Chlorine (the 5+ minute version), Car Radio, Morph, Holding On To You... okay, just listen to everything they've ever done.

[@ChonkBob]

@@carlosavalos1471 facts. I can't describe my feeling on what you've wrote but only experience it through listening to Car radio.

[@slumberlisa]

I just watched this again and it is still amazing. I'm 51 and when my daughter introduced me to TOP I was taken aback. Tyler was able to put into words what I have felt all of my life. I realized that I am not alone. That is why I wil always be grateful to this band. If they can save one life, that is immeasurable. We don't have to suffer in silence anymore!

[@deejayturtle]

Amazing song. Tyler suffers from anxiety and depression especially at night. If you look deep in his lyrics you can often find references of this. Thanks for getting to this. I knew your reaction would be interesting and you did not disappoint sir. Respect.

[@deejayturtle]

@MrLboyd Reacts , now do you see why I was interested in getting your take on this track?

[@twentynepiltsfangrl9396]

@@deejayturtle Thank you for suggesting this song. I so desperately wish that this song was bigger (more popular) because the message in this song is so powerful, so important, and so brilliantly written. (as is everything Tyler Joseph creates) I may be biased though because their song Truce literally saved my life.

[@deejayturtle]

@@twentynepiltsfangrl9396 No problem. Now that you have watched this one I'm sure MrLboyd won't mind me recommend you go check out ThatSingerReactions reaction to the same song, I had him react to it a year ago. Enjoy.

[@scottishemmaa2457]

Great reaction - and an amazing track! The label didn’t want this on the album but Tyler and Josh pushed back and insisted. I’m glad they did, it’s a really powerful piece of writing. They have a lot of music dealing with suicide, self harm, depression, anxiety etc. And you’re correct, the music does sound light hearted and upbeat, but if you dial into the lyrics, they usually tell a different story. Migraine (dealing with Tyler’s depression) or Guns for Hands (dealing with self harm) would be great next!

[@girlwithnoname956]

This exactly. They always have an important message to speak on, but sometimes missed due to extensive use of metaphors. This time, the message is in your face obvious.

[@twentynepiltsfangrl9396]

Tyler Joseph (the singer, songwriter) struggles heavy with anxiety, depression, suicide, and self harm so a lot of their music touches on mental illness. Their mantra is "Stay alive it's worth it I promise" - Tyler Joseph. This band saved my life and thousands of others. At their concerts people just scream you saved my life and hold up signs that say you saved my life, thank you, and we still need you. It's really really an amazing experience unlike any other experience. God bless you.

[@jensherman2771]

My daughter introduced me to Twenty One Pilots years ago! This song sent me to ... this single mom worked a lot of extra hours to be able to spend hundreds of dollars for 3 concert tickets. Just because my kid loved them. How many days before the Denver concert were we saying goodbye to Chester? Like the commenter Jordan Reinke wrote a few days ago, “This gave me fkn chills”. Thank you for this reaction💛

[@sinclair707]

You’re an amazing mom ❤️ I hope you guys have an amazing time at the concert! I’ve been once and it was worth it.

[@tarshnottrash1483]

Glad I watched, you totally understood this song. A lot of reactors don’t quite get it but you did. An important message

[@demiurge5374]

I think this one of their best messages in a song

[@josephwalsh9285]

these guy's are super talented and I enjoy their music thoroughly ...

[@EspeciallyHeath]

Love your insight more twenty one pilots please keep on keepin on my guy

[@fletcher8431]

Your reactions for tøp are my absolute favorites. You analyze the lyrics in such a meaningful way and understand the imagery to a deeper level :)

[@ericstockman7405]

An important message for people to hear now more than ever I'd say to try Trees (Live from Fox Theater)

[@tinaanderson5525]

Yes this one!!!

[@lordpeator1708]

Had the immense pleasure of seeing them in 2018 It was amazing

[@xandiegirtz3173]

This song makes tear up. I’d love to see you react to “Goner” “Kitchen sink” or “Addict with a Pen”. I’d also like to see react to My Chemical Romance(band) if you’re so inclined. Love your reactions. Keep educating on the deeper meanings in songs. You’re rad. Have an amazing day.

[@slumberlisa]

This song is absolutely amazing! Tough message, but he's right. Thanks for doing this one. ❤️

[@elenapicco1412]

it’s probably my fav song since it’s been out and the fact that it’s heavily inspired by classical music makes it even better

[@bplauer17]

“Why no one ever comes back with details from beyond” crazyyyyyyy

[@MATHEWSMAN1969]

Tyler is just qan amazing writer every one of their songs has such meaning

[@BeeKnown]

such a powerful song. the lyrics are similar to a lot of their songs but the tone of this one is a bit more sombre. check out Goner-live at Fox Theatre or Addict with a Pen live for another emotional performance from them.

[@sherylh2570]

A lot of their songs have serious lyrics but upbeat music with it, so people can enjoy the song or use it to find hope when dealing with mental issues.

[@beachbum360]

Great song, amazing in concert. I figure you use live versions for specific KZbin reasons but, for your own listening experience I highly recommend you listen to the studio version with your headphones, you won't regret it. You will find that most of their songs are far from jovial and tend to wander into deep waters more so than not. I enjoy your thoughtful take on the songs you cover.

[@uzi978]

Indeed, must do the studio version!

[@sheataylor1510]

The last line in this song gives me chills every time I heard the song

[@thebluecollarbibleguy5114]

“Not too deep”? Check out more TOP songs. They are known for very deep and serious lyrics.

[@SherryBandito]

Nice reaction. Neon gravestones always hits me hard. Hope you check out more twenty one pilots ❤️

[@deejayturtle]

Yes. I dono'd for this one cause up till now MrLboyd had done mostly happy songs. Lets give him more suggestions.

[@SherryBandito]

@@deejayturtle aww that’s cool ❤

[@ChadAzeltine]

Please do more twenty one pilots! Try car radio, migraine, or lane boy

[@chirso2460]

Tyler has saved my life on a couple occasions. I didn't used to like the bands sound. But when I focused on the lyrics I started crying immediately

[@Valerie.T.M]

It's funny that you said your past experiences with this band haven't been as deep, because I'd say like 89% of their catalogue is dealing with mental illness, suicide, and industry corruption or fatigue.

[@justfoxy.4606]

"really quickly guys ALLLRRIIGHTT 0_0" love that

[@ChonkBob]

I love you bro, IDK if you reacted to this version of the song for copyright reasons or what but, their originals is why we are who we are.

[@Snomrade]

They really outdid themselves with this one and I don’t think there is a way to top this

[@aleksjak7239]

You should react to their first song that made them big, ode to sleep. Highly recommend.

[@dan4iiikkk]

you need to watch shy away from MTV Unplugged, it's really great

[@jasonstehlick452]

If this song doesn’t elicit emotion in the listener, said person doesn’t have a heart.

[@victoriat2148]

Great band, great reaction!

[@Frequency_Music.]

The fact that depression, suicide, and negativity in general is praised nowadays to the point that people will put themselves into these situations is sad. It seems like it’s the only place where we can receive attention. I’ve fallen for this

[@Vigilante-ns3ez]

you should do "addict with a pen" the studio version or migraine or car radio... some of the deeper stuff

[@brandynmohr6747]

Check out My Blood got another one with a clear message but not nearly as heavy.

[@clikkiecore]

my favourite song ever

[@jesrush]

You’ll want to remember this song…overlaps occur and the Neon Gravestones will appear in another video.✌️😎

[@deejayturtle]

Had to dono for this one. I think he likes it :p

[@dougdergan6165]

This is a solo live version - I would listen to the album version as well - same feeling and message just a little cleaner.

[@VosicoYT]

Love it

[@willtorbett6679]

I suffer from depression and anxiety also and want to end it most days this song I listen to and I’m a grown 35 year old man I break down crying and laughing hysterically at the same time if not for my kids I don’t know if I’d still be here

[@veeheer]

Tyler has always struggled with depression. Most of his songs are metaphors for his life experiences.

[@jasonwright4460]

Do Car Radio - but you have to do the official video. The official video is a must!!!

[@someguypeopledislike4696]

The song is obviously about the glorifying the idea of suicide and that Tyler obviously rejects the idea of glorifying it.

[@chunlink4133]

best band eva eva

[@boonmeagher3787]

I love that you see genius

[@aubreyylolz]

i love your reactions

[@scotty2210ss]

"Jovial and not that deep" thats not how I've ever heard TOP described before 😂

[@DrtBgMarx]

More twenty one pilots content pls

[@battycowboy]

I agree you need check out their song Goner

[@Jacky-sw6jx]

Jovial, light-hearted, nothing to deep. I'm sorry, what band are you talking about? I just checked, but you reacted to car radio and holding on to you. Maybe listen to those again? They are not at all light-hearted. Other songs to react to: guns for hands, Migraine.

[@KHaraldsson]

Yeah, that was a weird comment.

[@tarshnottrash1483]

😂 thought the same lol. But we all know the line 😜 ‘Listen, I know this one's a contradiction because of how happy it sounds, But the lyrics are so down,’

[@ofValor]

Should check out car radio and migraine for sure

[@noorieiversen]

If you love this, then check out Watsky's 'Lovely thing suite" 🤞❤️ it is a beautiful composition, story and short film, composed of beautiful sounds and lyrics.

[@praelorn]

I would love for your view on “My Blood” by them, it’s a powerful song, hits me hard.

[@SpEnCeR0003]

Do watch the cd version it's amazing

[@sparks418]

You should listen to their song house of gold

[@dougdergan6165]

Most of their songs are upbeat but you need to listen to the lyrics.

[@joxloxmox7169]

Before you start your day by TØP is a super sad song

[@probablyaddictedtoyoutube]

This guy's voice is giving Morgan Freeman a run for his money Holy shit

[@boonmeagher3787]

We all hope he doesn't lose to him self

[@mama_nez]

GUNS FOR HANDS PLEASE!!

[@Dalton363]

A song about how society acts towards suicide and makes it seem like a good thing by being celebrated and mourned. Teaching the youth that it is an option to be noticed and it clearly angers tyler.

[@catherinereynolds9644]

This one's heavy,!

[@catherinereynolds9644]

Thank you, for a thoughtful reaction. A lot of the lyrics are telling Tyler's views dealing with his anxiety and depression.

[@dougdergan6165]

I disagree with our analysis of this band - they have always been about mental health - their songs seem light hearted but if you break down the lyrics you will see the true message

[@TheAnticorporatist]

Oh, my dude, NOTHING they do is lighthearted and jovial…some sound that way, but if you dig deeper, we’ll, they’re deeper, lol.

[@jaredclifton4263]

BBC 1 is like mtv unplug it feature only Tyler on the piano. It's great but not like the original version. Pleas watch migraine in the live room.

[@Jaeger556]

Def listen to trees by TØP

[@valematteucci4381]

remember that in the trench we're not alone ||-//

[@nonamecreated]

Again...not sure why you are reviewing the one off live versions of these songs but...I guess better than nothing. This seems to more about the meaning of lyrics than the craft of their songs. Either way good to see these vids

[@paulharbron361]

Has anyone ever thought about the idea that this man is possessed by a fallen angel that wishes for forgiveness from our God and is pleading our case and his. That’s what I hear.

[@sunshine-dz6xj]

"nothing too deep" is definetely not about twenty one pilots :D

[@boonmeagher3787]

No one! Needs another Chester, Kurt, chris

[@Jaeger556]

If you think most of their stuff is light and not deep you don’t understand the band

[@Dynamiccookie14]

Interesting analysis, my take was always that it's based on the poor treatment of war veterans in the USA. Turning war losses in to a win and celebrating the many many deaths caused by poor management, including those soldiers who take their own life after the country they fought for refuse to take proper care of them

[@InteriorDesignStudent]

You can search KZbin for a video titled Twenty One Pilots- Tyler Explains "Neon Gravestones" for his intent. It's a song about the media and celebrities glorifying suicide by making the deceased more famous.

[@madicelander]

Studio version is better imo. Great song regardless.

[@boonmeagher3787]

None of their songs are jovial, even though they sound like it

[@boberts.sus9919]

First

[@DeathMetalDerf]

My wife likes these guys... I just don't. I understand that Connor Joseph, writer and singer of 21 Pilots, and myself have a lot in common, but I just can't relate. The very moment he goes into his whiteboy reggae/rap thing he likes so much. I just don't like it. Sorry.

[@LeashaHoney]

It’s Tyler,not Connor,and also The songs by TØP contain alternative,I recommend listing to scaled and Icy for an more upbeat type feel.

[@simplisticxx9544]

"Cobnor Joseph" lmao
