The way he backs her up is so masterful. He hangs his voice just under hers like it is a pair of hands offering support. Most haunting sibling duo of the decade. May they have long and beautiful careers.
Miguel Carreira In an interview they said the songs for billie are always equally written it’s usually very 50/50. And Finneas said the songs he wrote (watch, My Strange Addiction, and when the partys over) himself usually go to Billie if she feels a connection to them and like she can truly convey a message through them, be it silly or serious). The when the partys over video concept was created by Billie and flows seamlessly into all the good girls go to hell and acts as a prequel, with when the partys over, bury a friend and atgggth making a trilogy, as the videos for everything i wanted, xanny and when its released, ilomilo will make a trilogy.
Her voice is extraordinary. Very modern but in the same moment very retro, like in old radio. Deep and strong but in the other hand so fragile and sensitive.
@@cedricclerici5479 One day you'll realize how much time you wasted laughing dismissively at stuff to cover up your insecurity. Hopefully, anyway. Because it's time you can't ever get back.
Preach! Ive been playing their songs on repeat for the past several days several times a day learning to sing them to retrain my vocals and Im no where near tired of them!
Well, it was foreseeable that she will grow and be an adult someday. So her voice get's naturally darker. She even said that people should stop expecting from her that she can get these high notes from ocean eyes because her voice was logically higher when she was younger. I think, she could learn it again, she definitly has the controll over her voice.
These siblings are so ridiculously talented. To think they wrote and recorded these songs in a tiny bedroom is insane. Billie has more natural talent than most common could ever dream of. And it’s all real… she sounds even BETTER LIVE
her vocals are being processed live - that's why her voice has reverb when she's sings - this is a very normal thing though; it's just meant to stop the vocals from sounding like the room they're in
I honestly believe that if she'd gone the traditional route, gone to a label, been assigned a producer, etc., she wouldn't be the star she is today. They would've ruined it with safe, corporate garbage. The quality of production that Finneas brings to the songs is absolutely out of this world. I understand why they perform under her name only, but that's an equal partnership right there and if either half of it was gone, it just wouldn't work. Both of them are geniuses. They really are that good.
Mike Jones oh yea bc you are all knowing and are aware of all people’s intentions. you’ve got no clue what purpose people are posting for, all assumptions. no need to come in here & reply aggressively. He is underrated since Billie’s whole fan base knows who he is yet he is always referred to as “her brother”.
Those harmonies just give me chills. The brother is brilliant along side a sister who has such amazing singing chops! It's nice to see a siblings who work together and create such magic!
this is the first time her voice isn't drowned out by the music..at least that Im hearing and her voice is beautifuk she is such a vibe her music has really grown on me recently and im grateful that she exists shes so humble and amazing
❤ This is why I love acoustic versions of music, it lets you hear how talented people truly are, plus the music is always so beautifully haunting depending on the talent, band, singer(s), harmonies, songs, and instruments, you hear everything. ❤️
As a mother, I'm truly so proud of these two! I'm 58 years old and I enjoy their music so much! Finneas is amazing too, songwriter, singer, instruments, they're both just amazing and I just had to say that I love them both dearly, and hope they continue to thrive and do good as they have. Continue to be amazing kids! You have gifts, and the sky has no limits!
I have played this youtube video.. No lie, a hundred times (just today!). I simply can't get enough!! I'm stuck, mesmerized and addicted. "TRULY GOD'S GIFT TO MUSIC!" Thank you God, Billie and Finneas. 💖
Im 64 and a big fan of billie, my daughter and i went to her concert a few nights ago at 02 London, we loved it! Even though i coukd be her grandmother, i recognise truly great talent when i see it, she is truly unique
Billie is probably the BEST female voice nowadays and the most creative artist!!! Mind blowing what she can do with her voice and her lyrics...the brother also seems to help a lot!
He writes the lyrics, composes the music, and produces the records. He also harmonizes and plays all the instruments. Billie contributes to the lyrics and music. Her beautiful voice, along with all his talents, make for an unbeatable team. Perfection!
Em Sea: all of her performances are the best not one of them are perfect all of them are and yeah because she is not running around a stage with a thousand fans screaming at her.......it’s not meant to be hateful just letting you know...I’m also a fan of Billie
@@strider5119 Music for little girls who know nothing about what real music is. Simply becouse they're too young. She has an awful voice. No voice at all! And a brother who's a famous person in a musical production. Do you still think she is a geniuos? You're stinky gamer with crooked hands!
Billie Eilish's voice in the acoustic versions with Finneas caresses and opens my soul and penetrates deep into my heart ❤. Beautiful music. That touches me deeply. 😊💞💞💞💖
I saw Billie on American Music Awards tonight. Didn’t know who Eilish was till now. I spent last 2 hours listening to her on You Tube. She is addictive. Sorry I’m so late to the party. Billie Eilish & her bro are spectacular.
Billie and Finneas are the REAL DEAL! It is so obvious they are not products manufactured from a record companies "hit formula." I could listen to them all day.
I know it because it's so hard to tell if she is lip sinking. Sounds exactly like the recorded version except the subtle deviations. Her talent is off the chart
@@GK-gc9cv I actually think it sounds very different from the recorded versions. But each are beautiful in their own ways. The live version of Ocean Eyes is easy to spot in the sound. In the recorded version Finneas backmasked (played backwards) Billie saying the words _Ocean Eyes_ in the sound editing process. In the live version Billie sings the sounds _syes naeco_ phonetically. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HM8TdFvvQYM.html
"Six Feet Under" Help, I lost myself again But I remember you Don't come back, it won't end well But I wish you'd tell me too Our love is six feet under I can't help but wonder If our grave was watered by the rain Would roses bloom? Could roses bloom Again? Retrace my lips Erase your touch It's all too much for me Blow away Like smoke in air How can you die carelessly? Our love is six feet under I can't help but wonder If our grave was watered by the rain Would roses bloom? Could roses bloom? They're playing our sound Laying us down tonight And all of these clouds Bringing us back to life But you're cold as a knife Six feet under I can't help but wonder If our grave was watered by the rain Bloom Bloom Again Help, I lost myself again But I remember you "Ocean Eyes" I've been watching you for some time Can't stop staring at those ocean eyes Burning cities and napalm skies Fifteen flares inside those ocean eyes Your ocean eyes No fair You really know how to make me cry When you give me those ocean eyes I'm scared I've never fallen from quite this high Falling into your ocean eyes Those ocean eyes I've been walking through a world gone blind Can't stop thinking of your diamond mind Careful creature made friends with time He left her lonely with a diamond mind And those ocean eyes No fair You really know how to make me cry When you give me those ocean eyes I'm scared I've never fallen from quite this high Falling into your ocean eyes Those ocean eyes No fair You really know how to make me cry When you give me those ocean eyes I'm scared I've never fallen from quite this high Falling into your ocean eyes Those ocean eyes "Bellyache" Sitting all alone Mouth full of gum In the driveway My friends aren't far In the back of my car Lay their bodies Where's my mind Where's my mind They'll be here pretty soon Looking through my room For the money I'm biting my nails I'm too young to go to jail It's kinda funny Where's my mind Where's my mind Where's my mind Where's my mind Maybe it's in the gutter Where I left my lover What an expensive fate My V is for Vendetta Thought that I'd feel better But now I got a bellyache Everything I do The way I wear my noose Like a necklace I wanna make 'em scared Like I could be anywhere Like I'm reckless I lost my mind I don't mind Where's my mind Where's my mind Maybe it's in the gutter Where I left my lover What an expensive fate My V is for Vendetta Thought that I'd feel better But now I got a bellyache Maybe it's in the gutter Where I left my lover What an expensive fate My V is for Vendetta Thought that I'd feel better But now I got a bellyache
They should do everything acoustic. Their voices are so good together that to much production actually takes away from their performances in my opinion. The simplicity of these performances just forces you to focus on the incredible level of their talent.
First song had me balling. Ive heard it before but this live version was insane. Felt like the lyrics were more personal. She was emotional too, i saw that tear wiped away. Wow. Incredible people..
Man, I love this collection of gently, emotional and profound songs - performed by two amazing music artists! It's remarkable that the acoustic versions are much better than the pure studio versions pressed on CD... in other words: Billie Eilish can sing beautifully.
She is absolute drop-dead gorgeous, her eyes and voice are pure diamonds, shes unique and so lovely talented, her songs are dancing words, shes art, shes so beautyful in every way
Jealous and Negative little ppl like to transfer their negativity...there has to be over a billion songs... Why can't they just move on and find something they do like Weirdos anyway if they don't like Billie and Finneas Probably never heard real raw talent... Maybe not enough on show for their warped minds 🤣
6 feet under is such an exploration of each of our own personal pasts. Wow. This songs makes me feel less scared about facing past trauma. How did they do that? These siblings are truly a gift to the music world. I hope Finneas and Billie always stay just how they are.
Finn's backup vocals remind me of Micheal Anthony of V.H., perfection paired with B's beautiful voice. These two are like a gift to help us all get through life... I'm fully addicted to them.
I'm a 31yr old dude listening to unhealthy amount of Bille and Finneas. 90s were golden for music. This sounds like 90s. Dont mind me, Im pretty sure good music is making a comeback on a commercial level. We are about to have another 90s. This here is revolutionary.
he makes bank from her songs since he wrote or co-wrote nearly all of them, and pretty much any fan of hers knows that he's her brother and has helped get her where she is. he's doing fine, no need to feel sorry for him. feel sorry for all the talented young singers out there whose older brothers aren't amazing songwriters... lol
What a voice!!! I've only just discovered these two. I'm 63 years old - and their music touches my heart and soul. I'm completely blown away - All the best!
Billie's rendition of Six Feet Under is divine. I start the video and then find myself floating in a dream-like state. I'm 49 and likewise just discovered.... Just such talent.
@@dhg6772 Just listened to Six Feet Under for the first time here on RU-vid. Incredible. 2016 - both so young but solid talent. Finneas with no beard. LOL.
Both of their voices work together so well, and they definitely know each other musically. I'm getting an Oh Wonder vibe from them. On a side note, if I could hear Finneas sing Ocean Eyes alone, I would die happy 😍
I'm 65 and her music takes me back to Joni Mitchell's Blue, Ladies of the Canyon, and For the Rose's period. Excellence. Billie and her brother are very special.
Im a boomer. Sorry but I never heard of Billie until today - starting with videos of when she was younger. Omg. I love her. Not in a weird way - just who she is what she's done. So great.
WOW! This young lady is dripping with talent and yet seems very down to earth. I can respect the hell out of a person like that. And her brother is that foundation she can lean on, with great arrangement and harmonies. These two deserve all the success they can get. I'm blown away.
I always put a biig respect to Finneas. He's a good brother, he supporting her sister, making song together, and doesn't envy Billie's career. Thanks for the beautiful songs and beeing sweet sibling you two...
People talk shit about her, but there's like 50 Million Girls out there trying to Replicate her sound now, and nobody does Billie quite like Billie. Her Voice is *MAGICAL*
So true im music teacher and the new generations want to be like her … but it’s really almost impossibile … it’s her style her tone her breath style .. you can try and do some things, but it’s not like her of course. Her voice is her voice. You can imitate tone … but we already have a Billie Eilish .. 😅
Seriously! At 55- i was raised by my dad who was a musician! I have been exposed to every kind of music and appreciate ALL of it! I can say with compassion and sincerity- I have seen many live duets- but You 2- are something very very special! I am a lyricist at heart- The profound sound the 2 of you have TOGETHER is Electric and just needs to Go On for years to come! Please continue to write and create as u do ☮️❤️🤗🙏🏻
I almost died from a heart attack, but now I know why it was not my time yet I discover this pure singer who sings with hard and soul and is so involved with her fans of whom I am one of from today.
@@alaskie1227 you kinda hated when u said its magic cause she sings softly so its easier and not impressive because the new tech singing softly is difficult
This was my favourite era for them both. They absolutely deserve their recent more recognition, but i much prefer their music from 16/17. Absolutely special stuff
Besides the music and excellent singing talent, I also just love the little looks they give each other...you can tell these siblings truly "get" each other. I love Billie's little laugh at the end and Finneas' comment about the opera style applause. 😆
So I'm a metal guy(guitarist/bassist) and 46 year's old today and the first time I heard this girl sing I was blown away. Mad Respect young lady!! Don't ever stop but don't get burned out either !!!
Me too man. I am 42, literally grew up in the mosh pits of Pantera. Metal head until the day I die. I listen to her when I need to ground myself back to earth. I can't believe how amazingly talented these two are.
She was 14 y.o. and Finneas 19 y.o. here, four years ago. He still had acne and their parents couldn't yet afford to get her an Invisalign to fix her crooked tooth...Early last year, Finneas paid off his folk's mortgage and moved into his own house in LA. This is the level of their musicianship right out of their bedroom, before she started performing regularly before and audience. What talent and heart!
@@nicolegarza1663 they paid for all that because they WANTED to do those things. Their parents also did those things at their own leisure times. No one did anything to "become famous"
@@nicolegarza1663 of course it is. But you didn't say that. You said that the only reason a parent would pay for that is "to support their child's growth and hope that eventually they get somewhere". No. parents can pay for all that for many other reasons, not just the ones you mentioned. There are lots of different people in the world with different goals, dreams and ambitions. I have no idea how you are not aware of that.
@@nicolegarza1663 Actually, they attended dance lessons for free, as their father Patrick was a carpenter and handyman and bartered his services for lessons. Music lessons were by Patrick and their mom, Maggie, except for some piano lessons that they had, and discontinued since they didn't like them. Homeschooling is free, expect for books and materials. Maggie ran lessons at home for arts and crafts, songwriting, aerial silk and trapeze. Patrick worked as a carpenter for Mattel and as a Handyman. He also recorded audio books and had several bit parts in films/TV. Maggie had several bit parts and produced and acted in an Indie film "Inside Out", with Finneas and Patrick. They were not poor but definitely not wealthy.
