[@nothingstaysthesame]

First she sang a song about a guy that treated her horrible and had lots of problems, then she sang this song about a guy that was kind and nice to her. Two beautiful songs, to very different ex boyfriends.

[@aleckelly374]

nothingstaysthesame is it about dom?

[@gluedglued1252]

@@aleckelly374 yes and you should be sad is about g eazy

[@Rachtale]

or could even be some old girlfriends

[@nothingstaysthesame]

alec kelly yes it is, its a love song she wrote to him when they were dating 😊.

[@nothingstaysthesame]

rachtale yes, sorry, she sings about ex girlfriends as well!

[@brb247ful]

This side by side with You Should Be Sad is so crazy to me. The versatility, the tone change, the vocals. She’s such a performer and artist it’s insane.

[@mentally.retired]

Sounds like an accidental copy of Rockstar by Nickelback to me.

[@AldermachXI]

@@mentally.retired I think you typed the wrong second word in your username, if that's what it sounds like to you.

[@binoymathew246]

The raspiness in her voice... And that wobble she does with the jaw. It's her signature style. I like it.

[@Alex-jd3bs]

The wobble in her jaw is medical related. Its not her signature at all. Her signature is the mic flip.

[@joshifereverlark8605]

@@Alex-jd3bs I've never heard her confirm it's medically related at all, it seems more like her way of singing to get a certain effect on her voice. Either way, it's still a signature because she never sings without doing it, people recognise the movement being connected to her style.

[@Alex-jd3bs]

@@joshifereverlark8605 She said it years ago, like maybe Badlands release? Perhaps it was on Tumblr. But anyway, it IS medical related. Something about a crooked jaw? You can kind of see it when you look at her face on when her mouth is close and she's not singing or anything. But no, it isn't a signature at all. Signature is doing something on purpose, that she can't help. Her signature is a mic flip. The same way Jessie J's signature is being able to create these amazing, complex runs out of the blue and never miss or mess up a note.

[@cjsheu]

Camila Cabello does it too

[@Alex-jd3bs]

@@cjsheu Many artists do since to sign you do need to move your jaw and to perform runs your jaw moves a little more than usual so your mouth can create the correct sound. But with a crooked jaw it happens much more than usual and its more something that happens naturally rather than making your jaw do it.

2:18 the little laugh here is melting my whole heart 😍 she sounds happy

[@ash-gw7es]

I started listening to Halsey right after she dropped badlands. I’ve never stopped. By now, I know all of the songs she’s put out over the years, including the entire room 93 album (is there somewhere is a masterpiece) and I’m so proud of her. This song once again is gorgeous. I don’t think I’ll ever dislike anything she puts out. I love you Ashley.

[@laurenhix1070]

ash Is there somewhere is my all time favorite song. ❤️

She and harry styles should come together and be a New wave country duo

[@kelammo]

Jessica it would be interesting if they were involved. I’m girl crushing on her hard, waiting for Harry to come out as bi ♥️

[@juice610]

I feel that. She has a big influence of country in her music

[@Hannah-xs7ri]

Halsey and Harry are my two favorite artists, so I'd probably lose my mind if they have a collab

[@DogGuyDarin]

Yes, that would be beautiful.

The great Jerry Douglas.

[@rebeccaferguson7734]

Karan Gera : yes, that was WEIRD !

[@erichart2093]

Good call. He is arguably the greatest dobro player in the world.

[@RicBergstrom]

Jerry Douglas has great experience backing incredible singers.....Part of Allison Krauss and Union Station. If you really want to hear him play old school. Earls of Leicester..... Bluegrass Flatt and Scruggs tribute band. Jerry is the best!!

[@ps7462]

First time I saw Jerry Douglas was 28 years ago at the Philadelphia folk festival. At the time the album he put out was Slide Rule. I’m sure he’s done other work with an electric Dobro but it’s the first time I saw it! Back then I believe he was nicknamed the dobro wizard!

[@khadijahlattraq]

She's showing the world all of her beautiful colours and I couldn't be happier

[@meflove]

Looked up who wrote this hoping it was her. I was bummed out to find it was written by Ashley Frangipane. Till I Googled THAT and found out that that's Halsey👏👏👏

[@angelacanedit]

Man, this song was already good, but it’s even better live! I typically don’t like country or acoustic stuff, but both songs she did on SNL (plus 3AM from the album) are just so good! Her album is already one of my favorites of all time, I can’t wait to hear more from her in the future!

For anyone who wants to play this on guitar, here's how :) - Standard Tuning - No Capo - - Chord Progression Repeated Through The Whole Song - G, Dm, C, Am - Strum Pattern For Each Chord - ↓↓↑↓↓ ↑↓↑ *Repeat this chord progression & strum pattern through the ENTIRE SONG!* Hope this helps you out! If you get stuck or need a little extra help, I just posted a video lesson for this on my channel :)

[@4WingedAngels]

Just love that Halsey can express herself so freely, as she’s so talented.

[@MattTelepenko]

I remember seeing on her twitter(I think) that she was super nervous about playing the guitar for this, and I think it even reflects in the way that she doesn't go for those high notes at "we're dancin in my living room" but she just completely nails the entire song. She knows it too at the end when she goes Woo! cause even the humblest artist knows when they just did a great job and it is the most exciting feeling. Can't imagine how much that feeling is amplified when you're playing for the whole world on SNL!
