this one gave me anxiety | BO BURNHAM - All Eyes On Me (from INSIDE) (REACTION!)

[@YesThatNeal]

He sings this right after he breaks down, which was also when I lost it. After the special ended I sat for 20 minutes in silence contemplating what I just saw, then immediately watched it again. It's been 5 weeks and I still can't shake it.

@@Doncr4nk I watched it like a week ago, and don't have any Bo fan friends so since I finished it I've watched I think every single reaction video to his stuff.

Where can I watch the special at

[@Fubbernutt]

It’s actually not auto tuned. He pitched his voice down a whole step so it sounds deeper and added a butt ton of reverb. His singing is authentic though and it makes it so much better. Thanks for reacting!

[@babassoonist557]

Auto-tune is a colloquialism for any effect added to a voice

[@Fubbernutt]

@@babassoonist557 I know, but it’s misleading sometimes. Real autotune has a negative connotation because it enhances someone’s singing regardless of their actual skill. Reverb and other effects like it don’t. If someone sings badly with a ton of reverb on it still won’t sound good. I’m sure you probably know all this though. I’m just ranting

[@chelronin7843]

@@Fubbernutt yea but at the same time, anyone should be able to make music and the fact that it makes them sound “better” shouldn’t be indicative of their skill in music making. Although we should still applaud talented singers.

[@Fubbernutt]

@Dr. Perl Junior I didn’t mean he was pitch corrected, I just meant that the entire thing was pitched down. His voice is not normally that low, and looking at the versions on KZbin where they reverse the effect to hear his original voice, it’s obvious that it’s a totally different scale. I think his singing is still authentic because you can hear a few times where he’s not perfectly on the note.

[@Vic-Valentine]

this is very wrong tho, this is not very autotuned but obviously still is pitch corrected you can clearly hear it doing his add lips and doing speech, and theres nothing wrong with that

Don’t overthink this” - when someone with general or social anxiety tries to explain what exactly they’re afraid is going to happen, they’re told “you’re overthinking things! Nothing bad is going to happen” “Look in my eye”: it’s also a common way to cope with social anxiety or awkwardness. come on in, the water’s fine”:the phrase can also be used metaphorically in other social situations (eg someone asking a wallflower at a party to join everybody else on the dance floor). bo suffered panic attacks on stage when performing. In the chorus he is telling the audience to get up and get involved, because he wants to entertain.( "get your fucking hands up") When he starts to panic, he wants the audience to stop watching and instead pray for him.("heads down pray for me" )

Ever since Bo's special came out, I've been obsessed, unhealthily obsessed. And there's really only 2 types of reactions for this song. Either the reactor is familiar with Bo's work and the left turn into madness turns everyone's smiles into frowns, OR the reactor has no idea what they're getting themselves into and are wondering how in the fuck this shit was supposed to be funny. They were expecting Bo Burnham comedian/musician, and they got Bo Burnham depressedly introspective banger.

[@amplelola23]

I’m the first reactor nd my lil brother is the second reactor. He had no idea who Bo was, I only showed him a clip from the Kanye rant to give him an idea of what to expect and let’s just say I’ve caused my brother to be a bit depressed. Yikes!

[@quinnreid2659]

Somebody actually transposed the audio for this song and it is just as amazing. Plus absolutely watch the special, it is fucking amazing. Honestly one of the best things I’ve ever seen and it was so raw. Emotion flows through it and you feel it not just from his words and message. They root themselves in you and grow with time as you relate and realize yourself, we’re all broken.

[@quinnreid2659]

Now spoilers, read after watching the special. If you are familiar with Bo’s work, you realize how organized this man is, he is meticulous with every second of his shows. The ending for me almost broke me, cause not only did he record that in a very low place for himself, it was the first and only time I think we will see Bo break his meticulous style and go with the flow there.

[@Swapped1]

Having watched this, watch the Kayne rant. It's chilling knowing what happens next

[@dizzymcdizz]

Yes "cant handle this(kayne rant)" is when he quit!! Its so raw.. and everything is a metaphor. Pringle can, metaphor.. Chipotle, metaphor... then he gets REAL with the audience its DEEEEEEEP..

[@dizzymcdizz]

Pringle can metaphore: the Pringle can is a metaphor for his life and how he can't fit his hand in the Pringle can so he want to have a daughter who can fit her hand in the Pringle can and fulfill his life. Like the Pringle can is the fulfillment of his life so he's not satisfied and he's not even sure if the daughter will satisfy he's assuming that would be the next logical step as a adult is to have a kid and than maybe his life would than be satified. It not about the pringles its about that he's not satified with life even at the hyper successful position that he's at, there's just something thats missing. He tries to get EVERYTHING out of the Pringle can(life) and everything just spills out on his face, you know more than he wanted. So his number one problem is fulfillment in his life and he can't feel that fulfillment. Chipotle burrito metaphore: the burrito is a metaphor for trying to get too much outta life and its gonna coz you to have a mental breakdown, like noone was there to warn "me" that get to this position and trying to get as successful as you can nobody warned me "i" couldn't take this mentally. "I" wouldnt of done half the shit "i" did if "I" knew "i" would of been in this position where im extremely unhappy and not in the mental space I need to be. Like "i" wouldnt of done half this shit if I knew i couldn't handle it.. Then he REAL RALKS the audience about how they are his biggest problem. The wanting to please them and how it affects him. The love/hate dichotomy

Severe anxiety stops preforming, 5 years later he feels better, and confident enough to want to preform again. Just for it to happen again. We he says then the funniest thing happened, and he goes into the are you nervous line and you realize it's him talking to himself. Chills. Such a good song.

[@Polin-dx5ru]

This actually isn’t auto tune. He’s singing in key but he bring the pitch of his voice down a full step to give it that deeper more haunting feeling but then the chords he uses is actually the pentatonic scale so it gives it that more soothing melodic feeling. Bo Burnham is a fucking musical genius

[@erleonek]

that harsh sound after he picks up the camera is in my opinion "a panick attack"

[@noxvalentine6520]

I can't control myself from crying everytime I listen to this. It brings up my own issues with anxiety and depression and when he says "get the fuck up" it's really like I'm being told to break away from my depression. It's really hard living with it and through this song you realize how many of us suffer from it and try so hard to find out way out of it. It's hard and even though I have difficulty every day with it I like to believe that we'll all come out on the other side of this darkness one day happier.

[@JWitt30]

[@lewismaddox4132]

Remember the show back in the 1900's called Cheers? "Sometimes you wanna go where everybody knows your name". This isn't that. The place that Bo's talking about won't have Ted Dansen or Woody Harrelson. "We're gonna go where everybody, knows everybody". You know who everybody is? Look in the mirror. He worked really hard to get geared up to "reenter". He was greeted by a wall...and that same face in the mirror that had stared back at him for the previous 5 years.

Nah, it's when everyone stayed inside during the pandemic but went on social media where everyone knows your name.

@@bethfinn370 The reality is incidental. What he is conveying is of utmost importance. If it glittered through his brain it is worth noting. I know he thought this. He is such an empath that it was real to him. Just because it wasn't real does not mean it wasn't real. Don't you see? That is his genius and is precisely why there is a 27 club. The geniuses need death or sensitivity dampening chemicals to insulate themselves. They not only see the suffering, they feel it. Don't think that if I thought of it it is mere conjuring.

He quit performing in late 2016 and tried to go back In 2020 but covid so he was stuck inside for another 1.5 years for 5years total since his last comedy special. In the first part of the song you think he's talking to you but then he shares his mental health struggles with anxiety and then you realize that the lyrics are him talking to himself in a mirror before he goes on stage. Because the contradictory messages he uses are a perfect example of what anxiety feels like. In the beginning you think "all eyes on me" is him demanding your attention but at the end you realize that it's an anxiety thought of "oh God no, all eyes are on me right now"

While a song can be interpreted many ways with no wrong answer be careful of the anarchists and nihilists forcing a false meaning. Bo not only wants to entertain through humor and tragedy but also try to do some good with his talent. He's not trying to say give up on the world but rather convey the attitude he receives from marking and some fans and how crushing it can be. It's tough to try and convey powerful messages to be just treated like the clown on stage. If individuals are not going to try and help each other, then at the least get your fucking hands up and pray for his sanity because they are issues Bo cares about. Even with all his influence, to feel helpless can take someone to very dark places.
