TWENTY ONE PILOTS - NEON GRAVESTONES REACTION!!

[@ssh995]

I love how you just took the time to appreciate Beethoven

[@joshsanderson836]

Twenty One Panics! at the Fall Out Dragons username is awesome

[@maritzagomezmartinez9508]

Me too

[@JuanJimenez-ot9fw]

My mans exposed them by accident

[@kimoralashawn3273]

Juan Jimenez lol it’s not exactly the same but REALLY REALLY close

[@ssh995]

Josh Sanderson thanks

[@cynthiapierre3083]

there is one thing I like the most about you, it’s the fact you’re not only listening to a song and saying : yeaah it’s cool or not. But you try to understand the meaning of the lyrics, you share it with us and you focus on what other people won’t do. Thank you!!

[@anonymous-hk6ge]

Cynthia Pierre exactly! That’s why I love his channel

[@chihirofujisaki6479]

Exactly! My favorite reaction channel

[@BALLENSHOTCALLIN]

He really is the best at the reactions for twenty one pilots honestly

[@TheThirdErnest]

thats how we get down in the third family!

[@andy8922]

Cynthia Pierre agreed, we need to protect this man at all costs

[@randopowers2854]

The stopping to appreciate Beethoven is a perfect example for why I watch Ernest over most other rap reaction channels

[@kaitlyncollison6908]

I like how you analyzed the “how could he go if he’s got everything, I’ll mourn for a kid but won’t cry for a king.” So true. I’ve seen people think the quotation marks end after “everything”, and that Tyler says that he himself won’t cry for a king. That’s completely wrong, and contradicts the entire song in a twisted way. Just something I noticed :)

[@blackbirdbutterfly]

hey fellow thorns fan!!!

[@kaitlyncollison6908]

WASSUP!!!

[@TheThirdErnest]

yes! provably the most powerful line in the song for sure

[@kaitlyncollison6908]

TheThirdErnest yeah provably 😏

[@rheannaruth9569]

KAITLYN COLLISON I thought that Tyler was saying he wouldn’t cry for someone who killed themself for attention

[@megaascension2748]

"They would host and post a celebration" is actually a reference to the Chester Bennington tribute show. Twenty One Pilots and Linkin Park are my two favorite artists ever.

[@higs2515]

tyler is always telling us a story and giving us hope and positivity, even in songs like this. these songs can literally save lives, cause there are so much emotions in it that we feel it too. There's a song called Truce where he literally says 'stay alive for me' and that hits me every time. ps: in the future, please don't make the mistake to watch Heavydirtysoul, Jumpsuit, Nico and the Niners or Levitate alone. These are songs that tell the same story (one single music video in 4 songs) and you must watch them in the same video for the whole experience.

[@TheThirdErnest]

thats going to be a tall order lol ill probably make them all together but upload separately in order

[@dylanmaybee7132]

As crazy as it is I give this band mad props for what they’ve done to me. Their music has straight up saved my life. And I wish they knew..I thank them so much

[@cw1845]

Man, I cry every time i listen to this. "Promise me this, if i lose to myself, you wont mourn a day, and you'll move on to someone else" and "to life they were dedicated, now that should be celebrated" get me every time

[@kaitlyncollison6908]

Also I’m not sure if you’ve done a reaction to Kitchen Sink, but it is super deep and amazing and I would love to see a reaction of it. You won’t have much time though, because the album it’s from is being taken down by Warner Music. React while you can! You don’t wanna miss it, trust me.

I remember when I first heard this song I wrote my dad a letter telling him how amazing he is. All my grandparents are passed, but luckily my dad is an incredible person and he deserves to be told so on a more consistent basis. Just another reason to love Tøp....

[@paralyzedvampyre8351]

Ruby is a very underrated song by them and i highly recommend it, it’s probably one of if not my favorite song from them

“YOU’RE AN ANGEL!”

i'm still sad they don't have regional at best on spotify so i can listen to ruby on end!

[@eastisupokc8079]

An interpretation by Ernest.. an Ernterpretation. That is what is needed friend. This helps the music. Thank you. 👍

[@MyChannel-vq4jn]

"I'll mourn for a kid, but won't cry for a king" - one of my absolute favorite lines, but the take you have on it is so interesting. I took it to mean that he would mourn the person behind the mask people see, he mourns the person, not the image. I really like the way you interpreted that line.

[@angiehh516]

I love Holding On To You. Fairly Local is fun. Both of those have official videos. You could do a series of Heavy Dirty Soul, Jumpsuit, Levitate, Nico and the Niners....they all tell a story about the world of Dema.

[@meliss9]

I opened this vid, put my phone aside and started designing my villa for a school project while listening to your reaction. You are dope. You get the messages before Tyler could explain it to you. And you appreciate him. And that's why I appreciate you

[@TheThirdErnest]

designing a villa??? architecture school?? my favorite architects are Daniel Libeskind and tao ando...two completely different styles lol

[@TheThirdErnest]

oh and renzo piano lol

[@meliss9]

@@TheThirdErnest haha Renzo Piano's Parco della Musica is amazing, I would want to experience that. I admire Jeanne Gang and Frank Lloyd Wright, but I'm surrounded by the works of Jacob van Rijs, Rem Koolhaas and Ben van Berkel :) It's your area of interest as well, isn't it? I think you just became more awesome

[@esommers12]

Also would recommend TØP Fall Away Live ft. Dr. Blum (the live video from like 6 years ago.)

[@danmorse2002]

Such a bad ass performance... not too many reactions out there for it..(good ones anyway)

[@alebordon5657]

I love the way you think out of the box bc there are some lyrics I never heard and never thought about and you make me think. I love you and your videos, keep on with twenty one pilots they are the best

[@cicadadays420]

I think it’s fair to say you’re the best reactor out there. All the other reactors I’ve watched usually just bop their head to the beat of a meaningful song not even listening to what it’s about. The way you analyse the lyrics of their songs is actually really amazing and your channel definitely deserves more attention as this is what a reaction channel should be like.

[@melonmilkice2755]

I want to thank you for opening my eyes about "ill mourn for a kind but wont cry for a king". I really thought that was tyler's opinion. But when you pointed that it was actually what the people are saying, I looked up in the genius lyrics and realised it was part of the quotation. For so long, i have thought that tyler was angry at chester so he refused to offer his condolences publicly. Now i know he didnt say that and I could cry. Thank you so much.

[@esommers12]

I am so happy that TØP is your first video coming back. But I really hope everything is going ok with you, your brother, and family.

[@TheThirdErnest]

thank you so much and everything is as normal as it can be other than the computer in his ribs lol thank you for thinking of us!

[@joliebellet6679]

Two of my faves from Trench are Morph and Cut my Lip. I think you’d like them both. Also, Heavy Dirty Soul and then the continuation MV of Jumpsuit would be so great.

[@afkroyal7642]

Morph is my favorite song of them because I found the thought process in the lyrics so cool and for someone, whos first language isn't english, it helped a lot that they're pretty much on the surface. I always liked 21 pilots but never really got into analyzing the deeper meaning of the lyrics (besides morph because it's so obvious) and the whole dema universe because looking them up and translating isn't worth the effort for most songs played by the radio (imo). The fact that not only do they produce multigenre music which is viable to mainstream WHILST preserving their unique, creative style WHILST being a band consisting of only two people BUT have such lyrical genius on top just blows my mind. Josh and Tyler have to be one of my, if not the all time fav artists. Really hope Ernest checks out Morph, the lyrics are just too great :D

[@lil_foot_lettuce]

Bruh, I thought I was the only who thought Neon Gravestones sounded like Moonlight Sonata. Thank you for pointing this out lmao

[@jasonstehlick452]

The way you interpret and dissect songs lyrics is one of my favorite things to listen to bro

[@MrKrory]

I was actually binge-watching your Twenty One Pilots reactions tonight (among a few others) and refresh to randomly see this one - a pleasant surprise! Really been enjoying watching you react and how you dig into and interpret everything in all of their songs.

[@danmorse2002]

Also, SUPER pumped about this channel!!! Been waiting for some more TOP as well. Best reactions on YT.

[@Courtguy21]

Your channel is my number one react channel! I love your tøp videos. Unlike other channels that review them probably just to get views from their rising fandom, you actually analyze their lyrics and listen to the song. You can still appreciate the vibe of it and the instrumentals but you give real insight and I appreciate it. You deserve more subscribers for sure

[@TheThirdErnest]

while I do appreciate the subs from a huge diehard fanbase, im not gonna water down videos just to pump them out...just not the style of the channel and would get called out! yall deserve the best!

[@TheThirdErnest]

Without lyrics music would be nothing! Thanks!

[@JordanRA]

Love the analysis of the lyrics. Good video to come back with! "I'll mourn for a kid but won't cry for a king" one of my favorite lines in this song. And as you said, that moonlight sonata melody is wonderful

[@johnjedennett2206]

This song always hits home to me. I've been suffering for nearly 10 years with depression but I'm at that point now after a long battle like Tyler says 'they won't get them' . It will not win I need to control it not it control me. These boys are fire

[@georgelinford5576]

[@brandondillman5841]

One of the most in depth, well articulated reactions I've heard. Keep it up man. Love the content. Keep up the TOP reactions and song break downs!

[@jossilyn]

I love how you find the meaning in songs not just the beat. I also love that we don’t have to explain or get annoyed about the reactor not understanding the meaning put into music. Definitely subbing

[@melonmilkice2755]

Here is my take for this song. For Linkin Park fans, it is a known fact that Chester is a huge fan of twenty one pilots and Tyler must have known about that. However, he does not approved of people trying to glorify suicide. What LP fam did for Chester, from an outside perspective, must have come across as glorifying. Huge memorials everywhere, increased number of suicidal calls, etc. When Tyler said that part about "they can host a celebration".. Chester's official memorial at the Hollywood Bowl was called, "Celebrating the Life of Chester Bennington". When he said, he would cry for a child but wont mourn for a king, I interpret it as if a kid took his own life, thats a pity coz he didnt get the help he needed and havent lived much, but for those that are older, who has all the access to rehab and mental health facilities, it's a shame that it was not avoided. This part right here, I can feel the anger from Tyler. I know, coz im a huge LP fan, that fans have been tagging him over and over and over again for him to offer condolences in public (he did in private as per Mike Shinoda's AMA speech) but he never did publicly, maybe coz this was the "Silence Era", but more so because he doesnt want the tøp fans to support and glorify this. Thus the line, "if i lose to myself, promise me this, that you wont mourn a day and move on to someone else". He doesnt want people to get stuck mourning, like what stan did to Kurt Cobain, to Chris Cornell, to Chester. He appreciates that there is talk about mental health because of this suicides, but he doesnt want this to be the choice or option of an artist to get back to the world when they feel the world has wronged them. There is an undertone that Chester must have felt like it. He is very close to Chris Cornell and people have forgotten who Chris is and Soundgarden/Audioslave is, but when Chris died, all of a sudden Chris was celebrated, his works put in a pedestal (NEON GRAVESTONE). This is at the same time that Linkin Park just released an album and that fans and the world diss them and called them sellouts. So in a way, could be that Chester was angry, as he gave everything to his art, took his own life as a revenge. And thats what Tyler doesnt want to happen to him and he wanted to make sure that fans understood that he if he ever took his own life, he shouldnt be celebrated. I personally think that Tyler is a Chester fan but he was angry when he wrote this, like some of us must have felt, and this is his way of dealing with the loss. I love both human beings. I miss Chester so much. And i cried so much when I first heard this and I hate to admit that Tyler is right. It felt like a direct attack but he needs to make this record and I understand that. It eventually became cathartic.

[@disgraceful318]

I love when people react to not only the sound of the song but also the lyrics ESPECIALLY when it comes to twenty one pilots songs. their deep lyrics often go unheard because of the upbeat melody (besides this song of course).

[@kbames11]

This song always makes me emotional and i love the way u talked about it

[@kaitlyncollison6908]

That was awesome I love the way you analyze songs. Next tøp song should be Taxi Cab, or Addict With a Pen. For a tip on how to analyze these, think of it from a Christian perspective.

Bro I have a newborn daughter at home, 5 days old... I was trying to calm her the other day and because of this video I put on Beethoven... The look on her face when those high keys came in was the first time I could recognize like pleasure... She wasn't smiling but clearly was enjoying it... Next thing I knew my other kids had come in the room and no cap put their phones down 🤯🤯🤯, imagine in a roundabout way you got a teenager, 11yr old, and 8yr old to turn screens off and listen to Beethoven...

I just wanted to say you are the first person I have seen who got the lyric "I'll mourn for a kid but won't cry for a kid" in the same way I hear it. I see a lot of people agreeing with it but I always thought he meant it with irony. Anyway keep it up good job man.

[@NastyCrabcakes]

I think the biggest difference in this song compared to many of their other deep songs is that the metaphors are stripped back. This isn't a song Tyler wanted his audience to interpret any old way--- it's a clear message that he didn't want to be misinterpreted.

I'm of two minds on this song. It's definitely the deepest and hardest-hitting message on the entire album, but it might be my least favorite track musically on the album (other than maybe Leave the City). Not that I think it's bad or anything, but it doesn't grab me the way the rest of the album does. Still, great track to analyze and an important message to get out. P.S. react to Doubt it's slept on

[@magnum_cx8805]

For me it’s the complete opposite, but I’m a fan of slower songs. Leave The City, Neon Gravestone and Bandito are my favorites of the album because musically they just speak to me

You notice that to when an artist is killed or commits suicide. There albums become so popular. Nirvana was already popular but then reached another level when the singer took his life. Sublime is a band though that got more attention after the fact the singer died. So many examples throughout history.
