POWERFULL | listen before I go | BILLIE EILISH

[@0ctyravv400]

yeah in her documentary, when she was writing this song, her mother said “are you seriously implying you’d jump off the roof?” and billie nodded, and later said “i feel like this way of saying it is better than doing it. like this song is the reason i don’t.” it’s truly a heartbreaking song, but it’s a song that so many people unfortunately relate to and that’s what makes this song so genuine and amazing, and billie herself such a good person

[@beaak.9292]

I was listening a lot to this song when I was in a really bad state of mind.. I was literally sitting on a rooftop, drinking and crying and listening to this. Every night. This song is also a reason I didn't do it. ❤

[@playinggames4u364]

@@beaak.9292 I'm happy you didn't, sometimes stuff in life, or ourselves, troubles, maybe our own mind, overwhelm us, we feel like we are drowning, that's because we can't express what we are feeling, we are repressing maybe due to our situation in life and relationships, or maybe we just don't know how to express it. Yet there's another person expressing it and that give us relief, we let them speak our mind out and unveil that broken part of our soul if you please. Life is a mystery, sometimes it feels like a ride into the dark and we want to get out, run out, run away, but if we stay, after that darkness will come the light. The years go by and we learn to see in that darkness, and then it's not that scary anymore, so we accept it as a normal part of life, and we learn that as we have the day and night and day again in our world, life is also a cycle of light and darkness, it always comes in waves, in the end, all of that darkness we've seen throughout our lives is what taught us to enjoy and appreciate all of the light we've also seen. Because if we only have seen the light, we couldn't tell how graceful it was. Hugs to you! Hope you have way more good times in your life than bad times. In other words, I just want you to be happy!

Billie admitted that during some traveling when her music first took off, one of the only time when her brother had a separate hotel room from her, she sat there having a complete mental break and was considering jumping out of the window. She dealt with a lot of suicidal ideation when she was in her teens after her dance injury and Tourette’s got really bad, it took her a while to be able to admit to needing help and having those thoughts to anyone besides her brother. When they wrote this song, it made her mother break down in tears when she asked Billie if she would really do this? And Billie just nodded and said yes, it really scared her mom. After that is when her parents also started touring with her, they basically gave up their lives for a long time during the beginning of her career to care for their sick but extremely talented child, because it wasn’t fair to expect Finneas to carry it all on his own shoulders. Even though he did and had no problems doing so, he’s said: all I’ve ever wanted to be was Billie Eilish’s brother.

[@emmaabravoo1787]

this song is basically a suicide letter, it's really sad so I am happy that billie doesn't feel this way anymore🥺

[@Synchronicities-]

yeah😢

[@EdibleStars369]

Xanny next? And yes, this one is about jumping off the roof, saying goodbye. She keeps saying "there's no way out, but down"

[@BriaanneeHaarrisonn]

i loveeee xanny

[@earthscorcher]

Xanny on max bass

[@melissa24mnm]

I've always interpreted that crescendo as an emphasis on how heavy the lyrics feel. Especially the one following "a year-long headache", it's almost like that sound mimics the pressure in your head after you've been crying. I think of it as the literal sound of a headache. Absolutely love that part.

[@CharbelNasrallah15]

"I love you" is next in the album. It will make a lot of sense to he done next..

[@marijolamb5459]

The live version from that Greek theater

[@Integratedhardware]

She was going to jump from a Berlin hotel roof. I can’t even imagine losing her. She has saved so many with her music, just like Vessel. I hope they know how important and loved they are ❤ thank you guys for reacting you’re the best

[@jennaragsdale5593]

You have to listen to "I love you" next it's the second part to this song. Just as heartbreakingly beautiful

[@KCorrina3]

Agreed!!

[@13dma1rz]

She did a solo of this for Apple. Just her playing the piano on a stage by herself. Hits even harder than this. Think she was around 16 when this was first recorded. In a dark place as others have said.

[@lillihartman9802]

Billie has always had very severe depression it was worse when she was a teenager she was going to jump from a window in Berlin and in an interview she got asked why she didn't do it and she said her mom definitely check out her documentary to see her mom's reaction to her making this song

[@vallondyyumnam592]

OMG I'm screaming. Next - I love you,No time to die.

[@elcocoloco8982]

Goosebumps. Every time I hear the song I will cry. At next "I Love You" please. This will also give you goosebumps.

[@ellahuang1840]

the ending of this song absolutely breaks me. the sirens and the scream at the end is heart wrenching. really really love this song so much, love this reaction too.

[@Lou666_xoxo]

You guys should really react to her documentary, it's very raw and real and helps you really understand her life and struggles

[@trentt5310]

So rare for anyone to make music concerning suicide. I’ve cried a many times to this song. Yes these were her own feelings, which is why it’s so nice to see her now a days, happier for sure. Thanks for the reaction guys 🙏🏻

[@xoxowoel4.]

This song will never not make me cry 🥲

[@horsehollerer]

OMG the live version where she accompanies herself on piano is heartbreaking. Just dead silence. Her depression/suicidal thoughts were very real unfortunately. Great heartfelt review as always, thank you! Xanny next? 😎

[@karliulias3623]

you guys have to do the documentary! PLEASE!

[@fernandadoblues]

Up

[@K1NGD0M]

The SOUNDSCAPES in this song are incredible. Love hearing the background noises and how ambient it makes the song feel!

[@OakenshieldArt]

Thank you for reacting to this! Love your reactions a lot! If you listen closely to the way the music and the lyrics are played out you can hear that she is standing on the roof, traffic and people on the streets below. She sings "there's no way out, but down" and in the end of the song the music makes it sound like she is jumping and landing on the ground with ambulance noise and people screaming.

[@ddcakes7377]

I’m so glad you did this one!! If you ever want to react to her documentary she talks about this song with her mom. I think someone else in the comments gave a brief explanation of it as well. I can’t wait for the next one!

[@sandraschumacher5879]

I would just like to thank you for your reactions to Billie. It's like watching it with friends. Unfortunately I don't have any friends who would do that with me. That's why I'm so grateful to you two and look forward to every video.🤗😊

[@tallieoverred7]

I’d watch them with you! These guys are my Favorite channel and I also have… no friends who will watch these with me

[@tarshnottrash1483]

KZbin may not like it but thankfully we have artists like Billie, like tøp, like so many others that do talk about it so we all have a way to let feelings out instead of bottling them up & doing it. Thank you to those

[@brenvagaza]

It is about un alive herself, the part that break with the loud sound is when she say “a year long headache that’s to you” the idea is give us the perception of the headache she was feeling. Hi from Mexico guys ❤

[@wendyanzaldua2293]

If you get a chance on your own or whatever please check out her live performance of this song. It’s a produced video (not fan or anything). She plays the piano with no backup or anything. You couldn’t hear a pin drop in the audience. And as you probably know her concerts are wild. Check it out!! Should be on her channel.

[@esperanzafarfan5341]

You two should definitely react to the documentary! I’d love to watch it with y’all ! Yes Billie was a very depressed pre - teen / teenager, she wrote very dark music because “ she was never feeling happy”.

[@Spunky62]

I say it every time... I LOVE her voice! 🫠

[@ghstsonceilings]

the song: 😞😢😵❌ the background of the lyric video: ☁️😍💜🫶🏽

[@ascendancy425]

Aurora’s performance on BMTH’s ‘Limousine’ was sweet af. Still, i’m super curious to know what it would have sounded like with Billie on the track as they originally planned.

[@honeybear2244]

This song always makes me cry

[@UncleBubbl3s]

Fun fact, at the end of the song the final drop implies her jumping off the roof, hence the ambulance sounds and screaming at the end

[@shawnaah]

And before she said "dejavu", it made you feel/hear that drop again, just like literal dejavu.

[@imabillieonaire]

this song makes me shed tears every time i hear it

[@Stinger_tbx]

Please do "I LOVE YOU" next (studio lyric video) 😢 thank's

[@aprildodgers4265]

Or live

[@cristalvelarde8734]

This song is hauntingly beautiful. It puts words and sounds and feelings into a thing you can listen to that validates what you’re feeling, that lets you know you’re not alone. Idk how many lives were saved with this one.

[@ValeriaGjecaj]

Plss react to her apple documentary, even if is like 2 hours long that would be so cool to see your reactions❤️

[@ashm539]

I've been waiting for this one for so long! This song has meant so much to me for years. I love seeing you guys react to the songs that mean the most to me.

[@hazelisaghost]

When I was older - billie eilish it's a single released for a film but really interesting and different from her other stuff

[@danilocornejo4155]

she was depressed as F. this is the most beautiful song ever

[@au84532]

Xanny is a good next billie pick! But Good Luck, Babe! by Chappell Roan is so so impressive too! IMO, the recorded version gives a really good picture of just how musically gifted she is, and the VMAs version is a great example of her performing talents. Also it's pronounced chapel (like apple) rone (like cone)

[@greemt4342]

XANNY

[@passingaway]

A Work of Art by Ice Nine Kills

[@missamy5174]

I swear, my favorite part of all these videos is seeing all the cool, different cups that Eric drinks from. It's awesome, and I wish I had some of them!

[@Butterflybri]

This song was Billie way of saying that she wanted to un alive herself instead of actually doing it.

[@jadelily5006]

I love your guys reactions, it makes me feel like I’m listening to it for the first time again❤

[@lillian.24388]

You guys should reacting to Ethel Cain, her album Preachers Daughter, the lyrics and melodies in the album are haunting and it'd be iconic of you guys to react to it!!

[@canaldyetok]

love when you guys react billie eilish ❤

[@pillolexariete623]

FINALLY IVE BEEN REQUESTIG THIS FOR MONTHSSS

[@maloriep.c.5833]

This is one of my favorite Billie songs

Billie Eilish - Six Feet Under | Sofar Los Angeles 😏

[@sunnyshonelle]

You guys HAVE to watch her perform “No Time Die” live at the Brit awards. Fucking incredible

[@thekidyoufoundonthestreet9251]

I highly recommend "overheated" and "Halley's comet"

[@lauraharter5153]

"I love you" "no time to die" next pls

[@shawnaah]

3:21 It made you feel that headache....

[@ambrose_arts]

as much as i love her newer stuff and i'm so proud of how far she's come, both musically and also just in life, i feel like this song will always be my favorite because it just hits so close to home and it's so beautifully done

[@cherrybomb1386]

I listened to this song every night when my best friend was "missing"before she was found deceased.

[@pinkietoe646]

omg i been waiting for this oneeee. now i just need you to react to the apple documentary "the worlds a little blurry" and ill be so happy

[@pennyinaz]

I love the way you two are falling in love with her a little bit more every time. It's not hard no matter who you are because she's absolutely that special. She and Finneas are old souls who just get it. 💞

[@dapperblook1593]

I’m glad you guys reacted to this. It’s about suicide and is a real rough but important listen. But you probably already know that by the copious amounts of comments telling you guys that exact thing. I would love to see no time to die next! It’s a great song and is for the James bond movies. XD

[@leofrancisco213]

I can’t listen to this and not cry

[@ddgf4206]

you really need to go through never felt so alone, no time to die and i love you omg

I'm pretty new to your guys videos (loving them, you made me love Sleep Token and Electric Callboy even more than I already did) So I don't really know all of what you guys already know/have already done but I would love to see some Sleeping with Sirens - maybe All of my Heart or/and King for a day

[@Venus_Stone]

Please react to “Bitches Broken Hearts” and “WHEN I WAS OLDER” by Billie Eilish!! These are both singles from her very early stuff and they’re literally on repeat on my Spotify still after many years!! (Like all her other songs, but these two are SO underrated!!!!)🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@Bushra.almusallami98]

Thanks for the great reaction as always. I was searching on your playlist the artist "Faouzia" and I didn't find any reaction of her. She is one of the greatest singers and song writer. She done a song with john legend called minefields please react to it. Also her song tears of gold stripped version. thanks guys.

[@Leoniekk]

❤

[@olivia.874]

You guys should react to I love you by billie eilish it’s an amazing song
