one of my favourite things about “birds of a feather” is i dont believe its actually a love song, not in the romantic way. in an interview with her and finneas she said finneas wanted to quit at one point during the album making. in her lyrics for birds of a feather she says “your so full of shit. tell me its a bit! say you dont see it, your mind’s polluted, SAY YOU WANNA QUIT, DONT BE STUPID!” i think this song is about finneas and her relationship and i think thats one of the most beautiful things about the song and makes me tear up every time i think about it.
honestly even if it's a love song this could be so easily twisted into a platonic song(which it already has been) and I love that so much. There's some type of comfort in his song that you can't find in any other song.
@@alexgreincarinated I feel like that's also why I love her music so much though because she doesn't put too much storyline in her music so that way it can be interpreted by the listener in any way they see fit. I think this is also why her music is also so relatable for many people as well because it can be interpreted so differently for each person.
@@ren_ru9141 exactly. a lot of people have also theorized it as a song abt someone trying to hold onto a relationship (eg- say you wanna quit, don't be stupid) and that's SO COOL. wow. We heard the same song and thought of different meanings and different situations, took inspiration from OUR life and connected it to this once specific song. So cool how so many of Billie's songs do that too.
Finneas and Billie are legitimately the best at putting all these pieces, beats together it’s so unique and extremely talented. The way each lyric in blue is put together from the whole album. They deserve all the recognition!
"The Greatest" put me in an emotional coma. I have not been the same person since I listened to it. And "Chihiro" is SUCH a bop. The most perfectly produced song on the album. Billie sounds nothing short of incredible! I also love "L' amour de ma vie" because you can cry and dance to it. I would be very surprised if this didn't win AOTY.
Don’t know if you caught this but the cello and instrumental at the end of skinny is the same melody as the post chorus in “THE GREATEST” and its super cool
Ending melody of bittersuite and beginning melody of blue is my favorite. They’re the same but also different, like they each fell in love with different melodies and instead of choosing one or the either, they chose both 💕 these siblings are going to be an iconic duo
@@chanelhamilton4840 I don't watch him all the time bc I'm selective w/ music, so I can't remember what he's said on it in the past, but based on the captions on this video (esp. after Shihiro) that are like "let HIM have this guys" I'd assume he's not referring to himself in the third person 😂😂
And it makes my heart ache and gut wrench like it's just so. I feel all my best memories with my loved ones pass by like this is my favourite release of the year
Blue is actually a fusion of two unreleased songs: True blue, released during the ‘Don’t Smile At Me’ era, and Born Blue, a song that was meant to be on Happier Than Ever but didn’t make the final cut
From 15:56, it's soooo cool to see Troy just to lean back and dance like he is falling/floating, because this exact scene (the cover shot) is in her CHIHIRO music video too. Not only Billie knows how to transmit emotions into her music, but also on the other side - Troy feels it and understands it and I just love that about his reactions!

I seriously believe that’s the face everyone made when they first listened to it. I have watched a bunch of reactions and everyone had to pick their jaws off the floor lol
This album truly shot up to be one of my favorite bodies of work from her. I know this word is overused, but it feels cinematic. Like an excellent film that doesn't just consider or rely on one element like cinematography, script, or editing to make the film great, but pours into all aspects to make a beautiful story. From her vocals to instrumentation, to sound design and editing, you can tell Billie and Finneas truly poured so much into this album.
troyyy i was SO EXCITED to see you listen to that highest belt of birds of a feather and then you skipped in the edit and was slightly devastated 🥲 that is the highest belt she’s ever done and you literally said you wanted to hear her go high there and then we did not see it dawg
the way he just stood there and cried so instantly to the very first track…… that made me drop tears for the first time to SKINNY ever!! you have so much connection with your fans through just a screen OMFG TROY. BEST RU-vidR EVER.
The thing I love abt THE DINER is the fact that she's talking from her situation with her stalker in the stalkers perspective as she does with a few different of her songs and I like that she does that it adds so much to her discography.
i gotta say this album made me love and appreciate music more it actually made me realize there is so much more into music than just enjoying it or whether it’s good or not and it made me decide on DEFINITELY buying the album (first time) and play it 24 hours in my room and it made my bi sleeping self awoken again cause this girl is INSANELY ATTRACTIVE i cannot
I need people on twitch to please shut up about the pausing. He's a commentator, OF COURSE HE'S GONNA PAUSE TO COMMENT. Also, he's clearly excited so could we just let him be hype about the album and listen to it how he wants?? Would y'all prefer him talking OVER the songs??? I'm glad he didn't seem to notice, but that was so annoying. Seeing "STOP PAUSING" in all caps pop up in the comments repeatedly during a reaction; I just wanna see what people in the twitch chat are thinking about the song and Troy's reactions, not see at least one comment about pausing the song every single time he does it. 💀💀 If you're that pressed, just listen to the album yourself while he's watching!!
WHY IS THE EDITING ON THIS VIDEO SO FREAKING GOOD LMAOOO (Like the editing on all of these vids is great but like what drugs was the editor on in this one??? It's genuinely hilarious)
I think the breaking/bending line has to do with the status/label of her friendship with the girl in question. She doesn't want to break up or anything, she just wants to bend the rules.
I just wanna take a sec to fully appreciate all that Troy does for us as a community. He puts so much effort into each and every review he does, from creating a hilarious intro, to reviewing not only the music itself, but each and every lyric and production aspect to every song. I usually don't watch reaction videos like these, but ever since I found this channel a few months ago it has become a space of comfort and just amazing entertainment. Thank you for all of these amazing videos!
I’ve never laughed and cried that hard for any other of your videos. I think just only one of the best RU-vid videos of the year even because of this editing.
what a cinematic masterpiece of an album. skinny, the greatest, and blue interpolated their strings from each other lunch was coincidentally placed after skinny bittersuite being the track placed before blue and having its true blue melody at the end many parts in one song (l'amour, bittersuite, and blue) bittersuite and blue's references to the other tracks (ironically, blue doesn't appear to reference the diner, but does with parenthetical vocals in the chorus)
@@Yashiro8957 it's likely, actually, because "the diner" is from her stalker's perspective, and "blue" is from billie's perspective, saying that she isn't what the stalker needs
i love this guy, hes genuinly reacting, feeling and living the whole album. the way he is getting deep into the song as it goes... pfff man. youre the best
As a fan who has been waiting for this album for almost three years, the album production is honestly way better than any outher album I’ve ever heard, the transitions throughout this album is literally just incredible. I really think this album has such a passion of many emotions of both the lyrics possibly even Billie’s emotions and the listener. I 100% agree with Billie that this album was not made to have singles, when I usually listen to a album that has had singles in usually just don’t always feel the vibe of that first listen of that single. Some my personal favorite songs from this album that really just made me shed a tear includes “LAMOUR DE MA VIE” because I really love the way her voice sounds so clean and literally spiked my ears up and I just love the acoustic melody of this first half and then it leads into this immaculate thing that makes you want to jump up and hit yourself in the face hard hard I love the concept of the whole love of my life and how she’s really talking about a whole story moving onto my second favorite, which would definitely be “THE DINER”. This one really just made me think of her song “NDA” which is a whole different concept but very similar in my mind as I loved “NDA” I really loved this song as well and I really love the beats Finneas uses on this song it literally just hits me hard. My favorite song from the whole album that really touched my heart that I literally freaking cried so much is “THE GREATEST” I really love how this song could break your heart but at the same time could make you yell as loud as you can with the chorus if you really listen to this song, you’ll understand what I’m saying. Overall, the album “HIT ME HARD AND SOFT” is honestly the greatest album ever I feel like this album deserves many worth Grammys almost at least five. I love every single bit of this album and if I were to explain how much I love this album to someone, they would literally fall asleep from me talking for 25 days or even more. I would honestly play this album in front of anyone if I could. And I am saying this right now, greatest album of all time “ PERIOD”
This album is genuinely so incredible I am not over it. I am with you Troy I will not shut up about it. It is genuinely a masterpiece. It is such an impressive evolution of Billie's style. It takes everything she does well and just expands and uses it so well.

Omgggg hahaha I've seen different reactions to Billies album, and yours was the BEST!! I sobbed and cried with u, giggled and laughed out loud❤❤😂😂 thank uuu
you should surely react to her ep also… even though it’s basically the oldest and farthest version of her music it’s truly amazing to see where she comes from musically
Wow, the production on your reaction video is stellar and fun! I finally have time to watch you through the whole video…. Knew I’d enjoy it…keep up the great Billiam love!
i’ve seen so many people react to this but your reaction to birds of a feather is EXACTLY like the one i had and i’m so grateful 😭😭 i be bawling my eyes out to this song every time but i never saw anyone else feel it like i do😭😭
I’ve watched a handful of Billie reactions to this album and your energy is just amazing. You make the watch so fun! Best one I’ve watched thus far !!!
I love how watching your videos and paying closer attention to the production adds layers of meaning for me. Like my interpretation of the last two songs is so different and enriched now that you've mentioned the reverb and the feeling of falling deeper into water i love that
I was just watching at some other videos in a point where I just clicked on everyone's video of Billie and im just proud that I clicked yours because now you're one of my favourite RU-vidrs.(This album fits you so much 🤌🏾)
I love that even though I’ve listened to these albums countless of times and I know every songs, watching your reactions to my favorite music makes me feel like I’m listening to them for the first time, thank you for that 💛
