So still heartfelt - The Line (Live) Twenty One Pilots

[@TherapistReactsOfficial]

Reaction to original track here kzbin.info/www/bejne/fWabgmOCf72EeZI Also I am absolutely kicking myself, after all my TOP reactions, I didn't mention the painted hands! Gutted. I wish I could go back in time and do this again and mention it - but hey, no redoes in a reaction. Arcane fans - Vander formulation and S01E02 reaction on my Patreon! - You know you want to.

[@mehditouhs-v7m]

are they patreon exclusives ?

[@danielfinegan6717]

I would really like you to have a look at jonas conner, He's only posted 2 songs but I think they would be great for you to look at

[@RealBranden]

Do patreon members receive early access before the youtube post or will the reaction be exclusive to the patreon members?

[@SirSpuddington]

Tyler Joseph is one of the very few singers whose live unprocessed vocals are every bit as skillful and quality as a studio recording. He's one hell of a talent.

[@olibarrett4283]

And he’s just getting better with time, he sings a lot of his old songs live now even better than the studio versions.

[@MsD-NiceEMTandFarmnStuff]

Agreed. I saw them this summer in concert and he sounds perfect live. Absolutely amazing.

[@waffle5633]

These are not unprocessed vocals fyi.

[@olibarrett4283]

@@waffle5633 They are unprocessed.

[@DavidTorpid]

​@@waffle5633that's being disingenuous and you know it

[@sukiplus]

almost criminal that you're seeing these visuals before finishing the show - just know once you see it all and get to form bonds with these characters this song hits much, much harder than it already does

[@thebutcher7541]

Such an emotional and amazing moment, really makes you shed a tear when u know that he wrote the song with his deceased grandmother in his mind.

[@SkittleBombs]

I've already seen this, but man he makes me surprised every time how crisp his singing is even live

[@ayato647]

When I heard it the first time I got a huge flow of emotions on Tyler's scream, I loved both videos related to this song, thanks

[@TherapistReactsOfficial]

Thanks for that, it really does mean a lot when people say they enjoy my videos. I still feel like a massive imposter in this reaction world.

[@peppernme9805]

You seem like one of the realest reactors out there!

[@704Will]

Arcane has now made me a fan of your content. The way you articulate your thoughts is very intriguing to me. Please keep making content on this series sir.

[@TherapistReactsOfficial]

Of course, thanks for the support

[@infinitymocha]

I second this as well!! I can't wait for you to dive into the rest of the series! :)

[@exelnahemarodriguezglez9211]

Same here!!!! I would love to listen more of his opinions and analisis on this series

[@Majorjabroni]

Tyler’s voice + the orchestra was incredible. But also Mr Therapist you have a great and calming voice!

[@TherapistReactsOfficial]

Thanks for the kind words.

[@holson1070]

I feel like his scream is a ton of built up emotion that he finally got to let go

[@ロロノアゾロ-h4m]

You're going to love the entire Blurryface album of Twenty One Pilots. It's all about insecurities, self-image, and mental health. TOP's songs are always filled with emotions, stories, and passion especially with Tyler's lyricism and how he delivers each and every line. You'll find memorable lines like "Thank God it's Friday because Sundays are my suicide days" or "sometimes quiet is violent" or "I was told when I get older, all my fears would shrink, but now I'm insecure and I care what people think" and "death inspires me like a dog inspires a rabbit".

[@TheJennick13]

I cry every time! The scream is perfect❤

[@girlwithnoname956]

Perhaps the word you were looking for is vulnerable? Tyler puts all of his emotions out there. It leaves him really vulnerable, but i, as a listener, then embrace that and it warms my heart.

[@equestrianrosie]

the recorded version is soft, sorrowful and almost naked. this live version is full of power and emotion. Not as sad, but still very moving.

[@andrewcarter2411]

The whole arcane playlist is incredible, i’ve been listening to both seasons playlists on repeat the past few weeks. The lyrics hit a lot harder when they are specifically designed for the series and very relatable at the same time.

[@Dan1337_UK]

Notice Tyler not only maintains eye contact from the beginning but also his expression never goes beyond emptiness or expressionless, as this is not meant to be a fun, entertaining or happy performance at all. The themes are that of sadness, regret, fear and disappointment throughout both the song and the episode/scene. And on this live performance his expression is quite intentionally and so accurately imitating Viktors. I.E The characters own thoughts and feelings this song is written for and based on. Furthermore you can see and feel the pain and several other emotions in the specific lines he's performing - which at first glance might you might think this is simply the strain and effort required to hit these high notes. But no, he can hit some of them effortlessly and he does so at the very beginning and when appropriate. But as the song and his impending fate progresses, not only does the pitch go up and and down so deliberately and appropriately. Based precisely on the intended meaning and emotion that accompanies each line. Having seen this countless times now, he is using the songs themes, Viktors many combined yet negative feelings in the episodes scene. Combined with so much raw emotion which could only be derived from his Grandmothers passing. Such that if you just watch his expression, you can both see and hear that he is performing each line quite intentionally to appear so painfully regretful, sadness etc etc to even sing the very words themselves. What makes this song and performance even more tragic and impactful is that we know, and at least I personally can see that he doesn't even have to act/perform very much at all - it is very real to him, and if he smiled at all, even at its conclusion then it would ruin the deep purpose and meaning. I do not think this live "performance", by every definition of the word could possibly be so thoroughly impactful and emotive without clearly being able to utilise the pain, emotion and loss - all whilst somehow also keeping his composure and professionalism. That must be a very fine line to maintain. He used his heart and soul to both create and perform this. Perhaps only the love and positive memories are what allows him to tap so deeply into the sadness and loss. Not to mention in a live/recorded performance and not in the studio, but with a full orchestra and so many present at the awards depending on it. Without doing so, any other equally talented vocalist could have performed this yet without the real and raw emotion that makes this truly magical. Which resonates with both the character as intended, himself due to his loss, the viewers of the show and seemingly to all and every one of us, whether we have even watched Arcane or not.

[@TherapistReactsOfficial]

Wow some great insight there. Thanks for sharing

[@maf607]

I love how you started out by saying that you normally don't do reactions to live versions of songs you already have listened to. But you most admit this was worth it 🤪 I absolutely Love 'The Line' but I love it even more efter this live performence!!🤩😍

[@JewelShadow]

I love this performance even more than the actual music video, particularly because it feels more connected to the music itself, and that gritty belt just *hits* man

[@JoseGarcia-ss9xm]

I just discovered your channel like two weeks ago, and now I'm watching every day! Keep up the great job 🫡

[@Chlorine28]

Tyler Jospeh is the best showman on the earth!!

[@tyfvghty8492]

I did cry so much watching Arcane , but that song.. i just can't.. i can't stop listening it.

[@bassline8876]

More thrill with the orchestra allowing an ever stronger impact to this work ! and this scream OMG my new favourite song of the show with this

[@bethstratton3391]

Stuart, seeing the joy on your face was beautiful, your wide smile and open expressiveness. I adore this live versions of the line. The orchestration with Tyler’s voice riding above so emotionally delicate and heartfelt. Josh’s drums doing exactly what they should, with minimum drum kit; and the scenes from Arcane in the background adding to the overall imagery. Everyone talks about the Scream, which for me was delivered with passion and resonance, which isn’t easy to pitch so it has that kind of impact over and above all the instruments that are playing behind him. This track has been living rent free in my head everyday since it came out, because there is something about it that just speaks deeply to me.

[@Yoshiwaffle]

Im glad to have been there live 😭

[@DahMonkeyGamer]

The song was also inspired by the passing of his grandmother while he was in the room with her. The lyrics are through her eyes (but obviously fit with the show as well). I think it just really adds to the live performance knowing that and from the orchestra to his scream, its beautiful.

[@julieflynn5827]

He allows himself to be so vulnerable

[@meIanies]

I found your channel through your reaction to the original track, they are my favorite band and I was super curious to know what you’d think of it and since I’ve been going back to other reactions you’ve done as well as videos from your therapy-related channel, I can’t explain the comfort it brings me to watch your content, just listening to your insight and the way you put things into words is amazing, I just wanted to share that and thank you for this reaction and all your videos! hope you keep on sharing with us :)

[@blitzar2258]

I have to say, I watched this stream live, I knew that 21 pilots were performing, I had heard The Line many many times before this, but god damn was I unfamiliar with Tyler Joseph’s voice game.. I don’t usually pay attention to his voice in the studio recording due to production, but hearing it sound that good live blew my mind

[@Adonna2424]

This medley was really amazing, eventually when you listen to the other ARCANE music, Sting did a track and performed it at the Game Awards and it broke my soul.

[@karupe9982]

Aw he is really gracing us with all this Arcane/tøp related content Edit: just finished the video, xo from Argentina i'm seeing them live next month and i can't wait to feel the whole range of emotions they bring live, they really make me feel Awake and Aware of life. Bless them 😊

[@TherapistReactsOfficial]

[@hryznn]

i'd love to see your reaction to "I Can't Hear It Now" from season two of Arcane, the song feels so heavy and it's beautiful how the song is able to portray the sadness of the scene itself from.

[@Fawar33]

Nice video! Hope to see more Arcane reactions

[@Jrdn357]

No idea why everyone told you to react to this video before you've seen the whole show, lol. The scenes played on the screen behind them are honestly HUGE spoilers, what were they thinking showing those scenes during a live performance? Great video, as always, though! Your unique psychological insights into these things make your reactions so much more interesting than anyone else's. I'm so excited for you to finish the first Arc!

[@TherapistReactsOfficial]

Because I had already reacted to the studio version and seen it. That was my first introduction to Arcane and I did that one because it was twenty one pilots. Had never heard of Arcane before that.

[@Jrdn357]

​@@TherapistReactsOfficial Yeah I saw that. I'm more frustrated with the Game Awards than anything else, it was pretty dumb to include such huge spoilers for the show during a live performance that many people were obviously going to react to. Anyways, keep it up, I love these videos so much! I'm really looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the rest of the series.

[@supertavio2]

2:04 I'm very looking forward to the moment you get to know him :))

[@DayaMF_28]

❤❤❤😢

[@EJaDav]

Unsure if you have before, but if you haven’t I totally suggest reacting to the acoustic or Octane version of Neon Grave by Dayseeker.

[@TheMattSturgeon]

Just 16 episodes until we can see your reaction to this song again in the show 😅

[@TheMattSturgeon]

But seriously, take your time and really enjoy each one. Don't rush to the finish line. Every frame of arcane is a masterpiece, the soundtrack is amazing, and the story is up there with the best.

[@PricefieldPunk]

The funny thing is i didnt really like Twenty One Pilots til i heard this song. Their main stream hits like Stressed Out and Heathens didn't really show off how beautiful his voice really is imo. Makes me wanna check out other songs theyve done that the main stream doesnt play

[@her0k1d56]

Also Maybe try looking at Star wars the old republic "Sacrifice" cinematic trailer. Its only 4 minutes long. Very emotional.

[@roltthehunter]

What could have been from 2021 also a song from Arcane I feel is actually much better this was good but that one was insanely good. Also there are not spoilers in the song or performance so it is good to watch whenever it played in an important part of the show but it does not give anything away.

[@Avestaplays]

You should checkout Wasteland by royal and the serpent it's from Arcane as well

[@mike-wyant]

You should watch the Imagine Dragons music video for Enemy. It gives more of a look into Powder, Vi, and the rest of the crew's childhood in the Lanes. Also, the song and video seem to be from Powder/Jinx's prospective. So it might be how she views the world (during season 1 when it came out). Imagine Dragons x J.I.D - Enemy (from the series Arcane League of Legends)

[@her0k1d56]

Off topic but i want to suggest possibly reacting to the prologue of the last of us. Either the game or the first episode of the shoe preferably the game. Very emotional dealings with family connection and trauma

[@Aerikosred]

Now do Freya Ridings - “ I can’t hear it it now “ live from VEVO performance 😮

[@TherapistReactsOfficial]

Once I’ve watched the actual show !

[@Aerikosred]

Deal 🤓

[@Aerikosred]

New sub btw .. love what you’re doing 👌🎉

[@alisalar8597]

If you're going to continue reacting to the songs before finishing the whole series I'd suggest avoiding the video since there are spoilers in them. Great reaction as always.

[@TherapistReactsOfficial]

The video version of this song? It’s the first one I did and was my intro to arcane.

[@alisalar8597]

@TherapistReactsOfficial i know I've seen it, i was talking about potential future reactions to other songs from the soundtrack since most of them have videos and contain spoilers.

[@carolbgrein]

One character that you need to do the P maps would definitely need to be Victor

It would have been nice reacting to the other arcane performances as well, but good video, though.

I was warned off due to spoilers to the plot. Ill do them once I’ve done the series

[@already_over]

Do u wanna react other episodes of Arcane ?

[@miguelborracha]

Maybe the missing word/feling its "genuine", no?

[@TherapistReactsOfficial]

Yeah that’s exactly what it is

[@mick2017]

At least we had something good like this performance in the event. The winners of game awards this year were very disappointing.

[@TherapistReactsOfficial]

I didn’t watch the rest in case there were Arcane spoilers in there

[@mick2017]

@TherapistReactsOfficial yeah there are some spoilers in the background, I think the show was 3 musics in total but obviously it's better to hear them with the proper context of the scene in arcane. Your reacting videos are amazing by the way, I'm very excited to see what you have to say about the series ❤️

[@Dan1337_UK]

​@@TherapistReactsOfficial I would not worry about spoilers ruining the show. Arcane is unlike anything else, not only does it follow I don't know over 10+ main characters, and many less prominent so comprehensively and all intertwined. But in this vastest of animated fantasy universes the plots and story/character arcs of all of them are incredibly so complex, with much subtext. This is not Game of Thrones level It is impossible to simply guess or give much away without writing an essay. The way they implement all the purposely written and such well chosen songs/artists is absolute perfection. The good thing about fantasy/magical animated universes like in Arcane is that there are no limits on the ideas and themes you can cover, that are both unique and none of us could experience in our every day lives, not even in multiple lifetimes in our reality. Yet still, I watched all of the show 1st season multiples times and it wasn't until I watched your first reaction video that I really could resonate with this song, have to often cut out sections of the full soundtracks. But I had not seen the music video at all, I saw your reaction to it first. And what resonated with me more, was not that I happened to be a demi-god/Wizard facing death, arguably undeserved and his regrets and actions make the scene and song so much more tragic as they were unforeseeable and unintentional. Even this doesn't even begin to describe or spoil even a fraction of that character/plot. I wouldn't worry too much about your perceived "quality" or performance in your reactions as a KZbinr, and it's ironic that of all the characters, you are most like Viktor the one you were unknowingly analysing. I'm not a therapist, though my psychoanalysis skills are definitely above average just from being highly sociable and extroverted. But that is exactly why the song alone influenced and resonated with you so much, and myself and many others alike. I also enjoyed watching just 20 mins or so of you for the first time in original reaction video. It doesn't take a genius to see you're a very caring and good human being, who's possibly a great therapist . Generally I would say 40K subs is already a great achievement and not to worry too much about audience expectations. But if I were pretended to be a therapist I might say that somewhat like your two sides of a coin analogy. That ones caring, compassionate and modest nature also means we inevitably doubt ourselves, sometimes just a little more than necessary, and sometimes need reminding of our accomplishments. Pro Tip: Viewers watch your videos and sub to your channel because of your authenticity and personality, equally or possibly more than just the professional analysis on its own. If you had hidden or entirely removed your full and emotional reaction, it would not have resonated with others or been so well received, trust me. I actually searched for more "therapist reactions" of the song after yours, and I only found one other American - he was good also but paused too much, at the wrong time and less emotion and analysis. And I found no others, regular (typically young adults) KZbinr/Gamer reactions are really not interesting or informative in any way, but it's a highly complex show. But the good news is and as as you'll find out, the ultimate message of Arcane throughout and especially at its conclusion, is indisputably that of humanity itself. Almost none of the characters are black/white, even if they appear so at first. And for sheer "feelings" and emotions it is by far many times more powerful than any TV or Movie that exists currently in terms of its broad and rich messaging and ideas we can all relate to, covering every aspect of humanity. I could not recommend a better TV Series, or any media content of any kind for someone like yourself to react to. You will get many, many subs by the end - Though I advise you release your full episode reactions publically, even if it is weeks after Patreons/Members get much earlier access. Especially so soon after it's conclusion. You will 100% both entice and gain many, many more subs and views using this model - compared to not realising them to non members/Patrons at all. Best of luck

[@Wesed35]

This might be a hot take but I prefer the official version to the live version of most music. I figure that the proper edited version is like the purest version of the musical vision, you know? There's a certain artistry to live music but it's never perfect

[@TherapistReactsOfficial]

Yeah I think it try to say that with this one. The stripped back version where my attention is purely on the lyrics and and all the details in the voice, maybe got my eyes closed - it just does something to me that the live version doesn’t.
