IF I CAN'T HAVE LOVE, I WANT POWER is f*&%ing fantastic ~ Halsey reaction 

GUYS, this video was literally supposed to go up a month ago but copyright was holding it hostage. SO SO happy i can finally share this with you, i love you guys! ✰ Patreon: www.patreon.com/thecaitlinmarie ✰ Instagram: instagram.com/the.caitlin.marie/ ✰ Twitter: twitter.com/thecaitlinmarie

I know this reaction was filmed a long while ago, but in case you still haven't figured out the Lilith thing: Lilith was Adam's first wife, before Eve, and she was created as his equal. Because of that, she refused to be submissive to Adam, and so she was discarded and sent to Hell to become Satan's wife. I don't know if this is EXACTLY how this is story is retailed but this is definitely one of the versions I know to exist. Anyway, this part isn't the most important part. The important thing to know is that, because of her actions, Lilith became a representation of female empowerment, but she can also represent self-destructiveness, corruption, evil, and other things along those lines, because after she became Satan's wife, she became the Mother of Demons, the Mother of Witches, and the female image to everything bad and sinful. The female partner to Evil itself. So, the song talks about Halsey feeling like there is a Lilith inside of her, and she also uses Lilith's imagery to claim that she's deeply and irrevocably wicked, and instead of being ashamed of that and fighting it, she embraces this "monster inside her", as she says in other songs and expands on the rest of the album. The movie also touches a lot on the subject of embracing the darkness inside of you.

best album indeed. the concept, the message, the storytelling, her vocals, everything!!!

People who says that this is NOT a good album, well they don't know a shit. This is an incredible album, and finally someone with good taste as Caitlin said it.

it's been weeks and I still can't stop listening to honey

The fact that in The Lighthouse she says “I will lure you like a landslide” it parallels her song from the first album Hurricane, themes of natural disasters and self destruction

The amount of effort Caitlin puts into editing >>>>

if this album doesn't get any recognition by the scammys I'm throwing hands. I'm so happy for halsey. they deserve everything 🥺

I am loving this vibe for Halsey, she sounds FANTASTIC

Whispers is fucking amazing. I’ve never known what was wrong with me or what was going on inside my head before I heard that song. It’s the only song where every lyric describes and relates to me, I’ve never felt more understood

Truly a landmark album. Credit to all three of them for a fantastic album: Trent Reznor, Atticus Finch and Halsey. Legendary.

I can see why some people get the "metal" vibes, but it's not exactly that. The album was produced by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross and they are from Nine Inch Nails, so you definitely have the rock vibes, but it's not metal it's industrial rock. The whole album brings Nine Inch Nails vibes and fans of NIN are so hyped about it, right in the first 3 seconds of the first song you can hear the piano and Trent's notes. This album is a masterpiece.

Lilith is the recognition of our own demons, the acceptance of our flaws: by accepting ourselves as whole, bad and good, comes power

i hope i am not the only one that stans Girl Is A Gun the most off this album LOL

This album was produced by Nine Inch Nails, the legendary industrial band that impacted pop, rock, electronic and metal music

3:04 The Tradition 6:09 Bells in Santa Fe 8:20 Easier Than Lying 10:44 Lilith 13:00 Girl is a Gun 14:21 You asked for this 16:46 Darling 18:43 1121 19:36 honey 21:03 Whispers 22:47 I am not a woman, I am a god 23:36 Lighthouse 26:00 ya'aburnee

I can picture Halsey singing darling to her child

The amount of power I felt when I listened to the album every song is empowering 😍

This is so far my Album of the Year!

This is her best album, and omg i love your reactions so much.

I’m so happy for you that you defied the copyright gods!!!

When they performed Easier than lying at the concert, it was so amazing. The visuals were pretty creepy and kinda scary, but they were so eletric !!

With Reznor and Ross supporting such a weighty artistic vision, Halsey takes a huge leap forward with this course-changing opus, a revelation that finally presents their most authentic representation of self.

Lilith is a Judaic figure (Jewish Bible). She was Adam's first wife and was created out of clay (like Adam), but when it came to sex Lilith refused to submit to Adam, believing that they were created equal and thus she should not have to lay beneath him. Adam disagreed with this and in some versions, he cast her out of Eden while in others Lilith left of her own will to claim her independence. Lilith was found by three angels in a cave bearing demon children, but Lilith refused to come back to the garden. Eve was then created from Adam's rib so that she would remain loyal and submissive to him. Lilith is highly regarded as an icon to feminist culture, for her want for equality, though she was often villainised in Judaic Mythology, and her story was used as means to tell young girls to submit to their husbands. Edit: Another way she may be related to Halsey's message, is that in Judaic Mythology Lilith would steal babies and children as a form of revenge against Eve.

Did I watch it when it first dropped? Yes Will I watch it again and probably more? Also yes

Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross showing newer generations what real music sounds like. They're production and her lyrics and sound are fucking perfect.

i’m literally obsessed with this album! i’m so excited u did a reaction to their album!

I’ve loved all of Halsey’s stuff but as someone who loves Atticus, Trent and Nine Inch Nails this album so hits so hard. It’s different than her other stuff but in such a good way

The production was everything to me

My fav album of the year. I love Halsey so incredibly much as a person and as an extremely talented artist and poet. Her lyrics are everything!! The lighthouse being a badass siren song luring men to their death is just incredible lol. So underrated.

You asked for this, whispers and Honey are my favorites! Such a good album. Halsey killed it ❤️

yess! i'm so happy that we get to see this video, i needed it in my life🦋 caitlin, you truly made my day so much better✨🎈

YES FINALLY SO EXCITED TO WATCH THIS ❤️❤️❤️ love your videos they bring me so much comfort and joy ❤️

thank you Caitlin for this video! IICHLIWP remain my 2021 album of the year so far, there's a lot of new released album this year but the production of this album is just remarkable! IICHLIWP is a rollercoaster of emotions, we got a lot of vibe in it 🔥💖

*I love this album so much-- It puts a scene in your mind in a flash!! I love the production...*

pls i was waiting for this reaction omg i cant believe we finally have it 😭😭😭😭

Coming at this is from the perspective of a NIne Inch Nails fan that never listened much to Halsey, I can’t really compare it to her previous work. But I can compare it to NIN, and the production really harkens back to their album The Fragile from 1999. Listen to The Day The World Went Away and I think you’ll hear the connection pretty clearly.

I believe Bells In Santa Fe is about the miscarriages she had. It’s from the perspective of the babies, and that’s why they sing all is temporary, not a happy ending, dont call me by my name and that kind of things

OMG IT'S FINALLY HERE!!! Thanks Caitlin for fighting nonstop to get this video up- 😭💖

looking so good caitlin, love ur videos sm

i was waiting for thisss

Finally yes I have been waiting so long for this

Girl I've been waiting finally🥰

Woooo so happy youtube finally let u post this!!!

2:30 u literally gravitated towards my favorite two on the album! Along with I am not a woman and you asked for this now and honestly the rest of the album 😁😁😁😁

OMG IM SO GLAD THIS IS UP. TYSM GOR TRYING SO HARD CAITLYN

This álbum is a masterpice! 😍😍❤️❤️❤️

YEEEEESS FINALLY I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE

you’re so right about “you asked for this” it makes me sick cause it has such a strong effect of nausea and sickness but in slow motion and that’s why i love it sm

She really kill it with this oneeee, it has no skip ✨

It finally let you post it yay! 💗

Your reactions are my absolute favorite 🥲

Congratulations! You got it up! 🎉🎉🎉

YOU COULD FINALLY UPLOAD!!! ILY

YAAAAAAAS!! I'm so happy :) I liked a few songs from Manic but I wasn't a huge fan of the album (I know, I'm the problem here xD but it wasn't my cup of tea). But this album... OMG!!!!! Love it SO MUCH! Still vibing with it. I swear, IICHLIWP and Montero have been on repeat for the last week xD So far my favs albums from 2021 are: Montero, Ashlyn, IICHLIWP, Sour and Happier than ever.

A vocal Queen 👑

This album is a whole journey, you can't literally know exactly how to rank it because it has so many different song with different vibes but at the same time all connected???? like you need a long time to process all lmao. One of the things that I love the most about Halsey like you said is of course her beautiful voice and how good she is story telling, I can imagine so many things while listening to her music. She's my favorite artist along with BTS because both are amazing writing lyrics and expressing themselves and they have literally not a single bad song 🙌🏻💕 I love ICHLIWP so much because it has so many like rock vibes that suit Halsey's voice so much like forget me too (a song collab with Machine gun kelly) it's SO GOOD

the intro in "you asked for this" is actually very similar to the intro in "the story of us" by taylor swift !! that's probably why you found it familiar

omg i’m so happy i’m finally watching this lol hope ur having a good day ❤️

When you brought up Jack I remembered that I have seen you in the comments, love him. Love your reaction

Your editing is AMAZING

YESSS!!!! the wait is over!!!

FINALLY OMG CAITLIN IM GONNA CRY 😭😭😭

Love to see you liking the shoegaze/dream pop sound on some of the songs, was not a thing that I thought would like it !! You should look for some classics 90's alternative bands that has the same sound like lush, mbv, slowdive and cocteau twins !

MY FAV ALBUM OF THIS YEAR

i have so many favourites in this album (basically it is all my favourite) but whispers is my top one and then it's bells in santa fe, the lighthouse, easier than lying, girl is a gun and you asked for this they're good!!

Ahhhh it's back, finally!!!! All your efforts didn't go in vain 💯

on you asked for this , her voice is distant vecause the song is inspired by shoegaze songs. its a key feature of the genre for songs to be heavily distorted , reverbed and distant. its very my bloody valentine

Oh god finallyyyyy i've been waiting for this reaction foreverrr and almost lost hope because of the copyright issue u had !! IICHLIWP is her best album !

“i’ll never know if there’s danger in confession or it’s memory that presses like a blade against my throat another word and i could choke but what’s worse?telling you my feelings or to die without revealing that you crawled inside my head and set a fire there instead letting all my insecurities devour me with certainty” THIS is the most beautiful kyrics anyone has ever wrote and i’m not even sorry for saying that.

ALBUM OF THE YEAR.

aaaaahhh i'm so happy I finally can watch this video

AAAAAA ITS HERE

I love this Album

If this isn't nominated for Best Album at the Grammys, I will never watch them again.

Ahh you got it up!!! Thanks so much for all you do for us going through all the bullshit to get your content up lol

Love your videos ❤❤❤❤❤💕💕💕💕

Omg I just dropped everything to finally watch this

The dedication

im listening to this album for the first time with u! :00

At the end of "easier than lying" I was expecting her to go "SIRENS!"

Album alone is amazing but the visuals reallllly add to the experience and enhance the story telling

thanks for reaction 🤍

hey Caitlin can we get a reaction to *Star Crossed* by Kacey Musgraves?? that’s her new album, I feel like it’s something you would really appreciate 🥺 the style and songwriting are really immaculate and viby, I totally see you listening to it

OMG is backkkk

im late but this reaction is everything

whole masterpiece

Thank u cute bean ilyyyyy ❤❤❤❤❤ halsey killed it

the fact that you've noticed all of the transitions but the one between the tradition and bells in santa fe 😭😭

YES YES YES YES YES YES YES

YAAAAAAY, FINALLY!!!!!

I totally relate to that one thing you said in the intro about liking an artist"s music but not really revisiting. For me it was Demi Lovato's last album, i liked it a lot but haven't listened to it since it came out

omg FINALLY!

manic and iichliwp are some of my favuoite albums ever

FINALLY WOOOO

QUEEN HALSEY ❤❤

This was definitely an amazing album! My favourites are Lilith, You Asked For This, Darling, Honey and Ya'aburnee which, fun fact when translated from Arabic it roughly means "you bury me" which makes sense sense because in the song she is literally saying "darling you will bury me, before I bury you" Anyway, I have loved your channel for a while now and I think another artist you would enjoy who (in my opinion) is underrated just like Sabrina Carpenter, is Tori Kelly. One of my favourite albums by her is Inspired by True Events which is so good. A little bit about her is that she actually auditioned for American Idol but didn't get very far because Simon called her voice annoying but she didn't give up and decided to just do RU-vid covers and now she's signed to a label and is living her dream. Fun fact: she was actually on a show called "The Masked Singer" as The Seahorse! she did great but she sadly didn't win.

there's so many edit in this one compared to the original, i love it

Bestie, it’s not that I want to make cry even more but you noticed the connections between More and Darling? “Wooden floors and little feet, a flower bud in concrete” “All the little flowers give me something to believe in” and also i know it’s the guitar bu at the beginning of Darling you can hear like someone’s knocking on a WODDEN door 😌 Halsey’s mind its something else

omg finally!!
