WE REACT TO TWENTY ONE PILOTS: MY BLOOD - THAT TWIST THO...

[@jaydead863]

so his older brother was his inner version of himself he made up after his mothers death to protect him. kinda a split personality imaginary friend coping mechanism. much love guys and please keep up the great twenty one pilots reactions. |-/

[@BeeKnown]

tyler wrote this song after his first niece was born and he was feeling super proud a and protective of his family. The verse about people in your driveway was inspired by a story about his cousins where one of them knew karate and defended their brother against a rival school football team that turned up at their house after he mouthed them off. Tyler said he knows his hands are to soft to punch anyone so he would need a bat to defend his family 🤣 different to the story in the video but interesting to know how it originated.

[@The1nvisibleJeevas]

Tyler “Soft Hands” Joseph why am I not surprised.

[@KaimiDaog808]

Excuse me! Can you please leave

[@GarnetJ]

Yeah, the twist pulled the rug out from under me as well. From what I understand Josh is a fan of Fight Club. It does make you look at how the kid turned into a rebellious outcast since he went through losing his mom and an absent/alcoholic father without anyone there to help guide him through the pain and the loss. He probably started off just being a clown to get attention but had never develop the social skills to work through the fear of abandonment, which then of course kept him an outsider. This one would be tough to watch after a string of NF videos 😕 But I love lyrics. Tyler did write them with family in mind. But they also apply to those people in your life who stick with you through it all no matter what. The “blood brothers from another mother” … which also describes Tyler and Josh’s relationship. When you can find a friend like that, cherish it. When asked which video was their most favorite to make, Tyler has said this one since they are hardly in it 😹They just had to play a house party gig 😜 But then again, he ends up cold and wet or in some other uncomfortable situation in a lot of them.

[@powersofdestruction5694]

I think it’s kinda interesting how he became ready to abandon his delusion when the “younger brother”, the weaker and more anxious one, was ready to defend the older one, whose hard and rebellious exterior finally was having dangerous consequences. He finally reached a place mentally where he could be strong without needing to externalize that strength to someone else.

[@asdband888]

So glad you came back to TOP! I've been patiently waiting... Tyler said in an interview that this was his favorite video to shoot because they were barely in it. A lot of their newer videos, and some older ones, have them out in the cold or laying in water- generally uncomfortable. This one they just had to be the band at a party. I like this song a lot but I think I love the Brooklyn sessions version a little better. I wish they'd do the whole Brooklyn sessions, and Unplugged, and the live stream concert, and and and ... Well everything!

[@voldsoy8072]

Yes! So many good live sessions!

[@jepph1106]

The Brooklyn sessions made me listen to TOP last year, I'm just used to listening to their famous songs (my bad 😔) thanks to Algo it lead me to that one .. I was like: wtf was that!!! wait I need more.. then slowly they crept in 😁😁 love them 🥰🥰

[@The1nvisibleJeevas]

Everyone should listen to the Brooklyn sessions. Fucking unearthly and angelic.

[@Spunky62]

You REALLY need to do MORE TOP! 🫠 😏✌️🫶🫂☕️ PLEASE!🙏

[@MaChaotheSplendid1]

What's great about this music video is that it's one of the few Twenty One Pilots music videos that is pretty easy to understand and straightforward. Most of their other ones have some deeper meaning that confuses most people when they first watch them and then delve into the lore of DEMA. This one is heartfelt and gut wrenching at the same time and conveys its message very well.

[@DemiseUnseen]

Nice, love the journey dudes. Metal head here, but I fell in love with these guys a couple years ago. Tyler does a solo piano version of this song, and it's incredible. Check it out sometime: Tyler from Twenty One Pilots - My Blood in the Live Lounge

[@cervasmusic]

They are my favorite music reaction channel. You are very genuine, keep it up ✨

[@EchoesDaBear]

Great reaction guys!! Love that Kyle immediately clued in on the 'reveal' - I had the same reaction on first viewing. Expertly done video, which perfectly displayed the music/lyrics here. I agree - talk about an ideal way to represent mental trauma and coping mechanism!! Twenty One Pilots have definitely become one of my favourite bands of all time (and given my music history, that's quite the achievement!) Love the journey you guys have taken with these two gents from Ohio! Cheers.

[@AhmadFauzi-jl1fv]

i like the way you guys surprised when the storyline doesn't meet your expectations😂

[@ScarletSangre]

My blood is the song I chose to put on my spotify necklace cause it reminds me of how protective I am over my younger sibling. Definitely a fan favorite song!

[@rsmcdon]

Came here for your twenty one pilots reactions and I’ve got to say, you guys are awesome. Charming, insightful, honest reactions. Keep it up!

[@Pilutta100]

I've seen so many reactions to this and only a handful understood that he made up a brother in is mind. You guys are great. Hugs from Sweden

[@PizzaOnTheRoof]

So excited for you guys to react to this! It’s my favorite TØP song and it means a lot to me, glad you both enjoyed it!

[@Commanderfluffy123]

As a long time listener of 21 pilots I’ve listened to almost all of their songs that I know of, I highly recommend the song Truce..

[@SherryBandito]

Wild twist at the end. Great reaction

[@staciemoisa4884]

It's not what the intent of the lyrics are, but I just lost my older brother two years ago. We were extremely close our whole lives. This song took on a whole new meaning for me.

[@timothyrusinko8882]

Great reaction, fellas! So glad I found your channel.

[@Lenny-ue8hk]

There's some fantastic live performances of this song, especially the BBC Live Lounge one. Just piano and incredible vocals

[@Milagros_2113]

My Blood is one of my favorite songs of Twenty One Pilots in addition to the video that is a work of art the lyrics can be interpreted in 2 main ways, the first is to dedicate to a family member such as a brother or sister but can also be interpreted to dedicate it to ourselves, Tyler when playing it live many times in the part of "stay with me, my blood you don't need to run" points to his wrists, I have always interpreted that Tyler does it for self-harm and basically giving that positive message to their fans ❤️‍🩹

[@Jakeito413]

I saw this video for the first time after my brother died. The last thing he said to me was basically "Soon you won't have to worry about me anymore." It took some of me away that's never coming back.

[@Menma_Furikake]

Yo, Eric, you aren't old for thinking of Karate Kid when you saw the costume cuz I am 16 and thought the same. Karate Kid is such a good movie.

[@uneasingcoma5652]

This hits me hard.. loosing my mother when I was near that kids age just like this

[@annaraven6734]

I'm thrilled that you reacted to this, it's my favourite of their videos and I'm extra happy that you immediately understood the twist! Your reaction to this was, as ever, honest and vulnerable and made me appreciate the music in a new way. Thanks for being awesome.

[@GreazyFCrazy]

I’ve watched your guys reaction to this like 20+ times now and only now just realized you both say ‘wait!?’ at the exact same time

[@voldsoy8072]

I loved your reaction to My Blood! So glad you caught that the older brother was imaginary. So many reactors completely miss that. This song is on Trench, but I see it almost showing how a character like Blurryface can be created as a defense mechanism during hard times (not to say this depicted Tyler's life). The bass on My Blood is amazing! I was absolutely blown away by it when this song came out and it continues to get me every time I hear this song. The bass and Tyler's falseto. Honestly both are amazing. Tyler played bass on Blurryface, but he further developed his bass playing for Trench! Man I love Trench. I think I need to play it right now! I can't wait to see what you watch next.

[@Big_Mac56]

If twenty one pilots aren’t on your radar, your radars broke.

[@Rykerroad]

I see what you did 😂💪

[@Jep_Hogglebirg]

"If I'm not on your radar, then your radars broken." -NF

[@erruhh]

this music video never fails to make me cry. the song is beautifully devastating

[@tarshnottrash1483]

Couldn’t watch this fast enough. I was definitely curious to see your reaction to the twist- knew you would love this. I’ve always viewed this as a perfect representation of a young kids way of coping in this scenario- we all know that kid that acts out, causes ‘trouble’ in a cry for help. I’m sure the stories of how this MV came about are in the comments but just another way Tyler conveys ideas that is awesome. Also I totally agree on the pringles thing & you are actually the first person other than me I’ve heard say that 😂. I think I should send you some Aussie chips since you like trying things- we have some bloody good ones

[@zachtheraven5007]

The song is about having someone there even if they are far away. Like Tyler and his brother

[@camrosie]

around 5 years ago, the boss of the religious childcare that i worked for (who was also my godmother and basically half raised me) found out that i'm queer. she told me that if anyone from the church found out and wanted me fired, she wouldn't defend me. It was her daughter- my best friend and god sister- that outed me to her. this song meant so much to me during those few months before i finally quit; i would play it in my car on my way home from work, singing it to myself, reassuring myself that i would stick with who i am and not abandon myself. whenever i hear it now, it brings me so much comfort and makes me so proud of how far i've come

[@reborn12008]

I think you guys would really enjoy twenty one pilots live performance of Trees in lollapalooza

[@magnum_cx8805]

Wow I love how much you’re clearly enjoying this journey!!

[@DravenMercer]

I've been waiting for more TØP. Thank you

[@megan6830]

Still waiting for the reaction to Trees - Live at the Fox Theater!

[@brynnemiller5056]

Me too!

[@ErickGarcia-bn4mf]

My favorite song ever ❤️ Hi from Brazil 🇧🇷

[@gameralessb8081]

I just realized that if you pay attention to the memories in the beginning of the music video it was actually pretty obvious that the brother was definitely not real

[@izhamfoo3291]

Trench album always in my heart ❤️

[@Will-uv4mg]

Also, i was so happy to see that you brothers watched this video xD Please please please do more ToP!!!

[@donaldriddle230]

What you guys need in your life is the,Brooklym session Tyler Joseph stripping down some of his music. Guys, you get to see him reimagine certain somgs like, Ride, Cut My Lip and Chlorine. He does all the parts, loops, and beats and samples live on stage with a small audience. Amazing work.

[@NastyCrabcakes]

Love to see TOP back on the channel!

[@theoneandonlyZainab]

the ending makes my heart sink every time

[@Zanthor9]

So glad you reacted to this I lost my best friend a few years ago and this was played at his funeral its an a amazing song

[@Will-uv4mg]

Love the shirt, Kyle! GLad we made it back into ToP! Here we go!!

[@camdenwebb5078]

You guys gotta react to Shy Away, Choker, Saturday, and The Outside!! Those music videos continue the Trench storyline!

[@geraldokenjieg.1319]

hope i'm not late to twenty one pilots reaction but you will love to check them out live at fox theater singing "trees". it was so litttttttt

[@joshhale1340]

I loved this, I just found your channel today because of this video and then watched all of your twenty one pilots videos in a day, and I loved your breakdowns of the songs. I'd love of you did Hometown by them, it's mine and my girlfriend's favourite song by them

[@anime_kingdom1300]

Wooooo let's goooo!!! This was a dope song.

[@jermac8263]

Glad we are back to TOP! You guys need to check out the group Highly Suspect!

[@Lake.]

LETS GO you are reacting to TØP!!! (First time seeing them react to them)

[@Grant_Sheppard]

So glad you guys checked out my favorite twenty one pilots song. Just subbed as well!

[@sickkittenz]

please do their mtv unplugged or mute math session! it’s fucking epic

[@theycallmemoosey2858]

Finally doing my favorite top song

[@samuelsavio5507]

One of my favorites❤

[@dheine121]

Before I look, can I say this is not GONER. This song my blood took me at least a year to like and I'm a diehard fan

[@muse_0042]

Whenever yall find time you should react to the twenty one pilots x mutemath sessions. Incredible reimaginings of some of the best songs! Love the reactions boys keep it up!

[@rileyrigdon3136]

I’ve just binged most of y’all’s TØP reactions, and I’m ecstatic y’all like them. I wanted to say that you might have more context if you go back and watch knowing the fact that they’re a christian band. Just like Flyleaf they don’t really shove it in your face but lots of imagery can be seen and Tyler likes to use lyrics of lots of the songs in context of him talking to God. Also there are obviously many layers to the albums… but they kinda tell stories together. For instance in Blurryface they kinda personify mental health problems, and in Trench they go back and destroy Blurryface. Also in most albums there’s usually a love song.

[@kimberlythompson5383]

I’m a huge fan of NF and TøP. So glad to see you reacting to both. Also, Chinchilla released a new song. Little Girl Gone. You HAVE to react to it!

[@damn_clone]

Tear in my heart and Stressed out are really good twenty one pilots songs! It would be amazing if you guys could react to them.

[@yislainneitzel21]

This is one of my all time favorites from them, I dedicated to my brother❤

[@kathleenmayhugh2246]

Wow, I've watched this video many many times, never got the reference of other brother was never there! Ugh, gets better and better!

[@robint8855]

so glad you reacted to this is 🔥

[@jakexep]

You should do a reaction to Dutch Revs- hate my life. Defiantly a hard hitting relatable one

[@sumnerd4807]

Hope you guys keep on doing what you're doing, love how genuine you are. Would love to see what you guys think of taxi cab by them its to this day one of my favs.

[@reallygraycards7139]

“He was never real!” Ya know who else is t real? 😂

[@nydia244]

please please PLEASE react to Trapdoor! It’s one of my favorite songs. The lyrics are really deep and I get goosebumps every time I listen to it. You guys will be mind-blown, and I know you guys will love it.

[@mapaladrey]

Fav band and fav song😎

[@sunshyne0111]

You guys really should do car radio/heathens live mtv unplugged version. You'll love the dirty bass.

[@analuciam.m.4245]

[@marloeslaughter8688]

That fun fact actually stumped me… I pulled a Kyle Face😂 (Wheat?!?)

[@aronhellsten3372]

Ok what is up with Eric and drinking beer from the most obscure cups? 😂

[@rawfrench1]

Eric, where do you find these frigging cups from? Love the reaction guys, keep them coming.

[@blaken1992able]

you both need to watch and listen to twenty one pilots the outside amazon song and video please

[@lampiszezas21]

Hey so I've been watching all your twenty one pilots reacts and I would love to see you react to The Outside if you haven't already!

[@xxMelaniexx]

You guys did the trench trilogy you should do The Outside for sure.

[@rlanden414]

Hey @RykerRoad, been watching you guys since you started your NF journey. I'm a huge metal head and hip hop head and love getting to hear you guys react to my fav artists! FYI, Beartooth released a single I think you guys should check out! It's called sunshine :) Keep up the good work guys!

[@garrettsmith2022]

Yes yes yes! Nothing more to say!

[@DayaMF_28]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@im_so_Dun]

You should also react to The Outside music video by twenty one pilots, it's like a continuous of the Trench trilogy

[@neldablanco1663]

Love this song...TOP IS #1...They let you interpret the brother" anyway you want. Stand alone in their playlist, but almost all their is uncategorized(able?) I just love TOP!

[@jonagex7744]

Before My Blood comes "The run and the go" , compare the lyrics and you can see the change in his mind over the years, for me when trench came out, I felt it like an inflexion point and time to evolve.

[@lahdispute]

y’all should definitely check out the song and video for Brother by Kodaline!

[@NC-nv3bh]

Have you guys ever reacted to “car radio” by these guys? It’s definitely a different kind of song but there’s something I’ve just loved about it since the first time I heard it. It’s raw. Check it out!

[@JT-bl7gj]

Please react to their mtv unplugged at some point. It’s just incredible

[@coryjustice8699]

Guys you absolutely have to dive into the sessions playlist or the mutemath playlist. Pleasasssseeeeeee for the love of God

[@edbaldueza5149]

BigBang- bang bang bang

[@Yooper630]

Gotta see you guys react to Paleface - Orphan

[@jahzlynclay9960]

Yess!!

[@cosmicdisaster02]
