ashley is his best friend, they’ve been friends since 7th grade, he has a lot of videos with her on his youtube channel. she’s also who best friend is about :)
when you talk to him in person, you’d think he’s sad all the time because of the music he writes but he couldn’t stop smiling when we were talking (and talking to other fans)
i absolutely adore conan. honestly every single song he writes i feel a connection to somehow and the lyrics are just omg it’s just so incredible. and conan himself is just gorgeous, talented , down to earth and funny. honestly conan could write a song about almost anything and i would love it.
I love conan gray so much, like hes the one pulling me singlehandedly through depression. It's so good to see others feel the same way I feel about him.
Conan has in fact not dumped anyone he has not been in a relationship which just makes it that much more amazing that he can write these heartfelt songs the way he does
WOW Astronomy absolutely crushed me just now. I’m on first listen and had to stop it midway. I’m in a super similar situation as the song but still hoping that distance brings fondness and still fighting to believe it’s not over. That’s going to take some healing 😓😢
Loved your reaction!!! Watching you cry reminds me of an album I think you’ll love: five seconds flat by Lizzy McAlpine. It’s released on april or so, it’d be lovely to see you react to it 🫶🏽
Sorry out of order but possible theories or I was told meanings of the songs Movies and People Watching starts the "Superache" stages of grief for a breakup just like Olivia Rodrigo's Sour. Ashley is his best friend she is commented in Astronomy that it is that he fears their long running friendship might come to an end. That's the whole synopsis of Astronomy. Ashley is also believed to be the girl in the Disaster video if you watch it! Best friend- just a jam about his best friend and all the crazy stuff they do together and how he wouldn't do any of those things if it were just anyone. Family Line- He really had a tough time finishing this one it's about obviously his abusive father that hit his alcoholic Mom, until they got a divorce. He mentions how he is not close to his family now. Summer Child- Suppose to be about him and his sister growing up I believe and the mental illness and how it impacts someone at such a young age and how like when they were young they have to suppress their feelings. Yours- obviously he goes all out for this crush but they don't like him back they are already with someone but they lead him on only to break his heart. Jigsaw- He's trying to find himself and put himself together after an abusive relationship whether its family, friends. or lovers I don't know it could technically work for all three of those. It's like a continuation of The Cut That Always Bleeds, I think they are the same number song on each track so it makes sense. Memories- Obviously they want him back after all the emotional damage they put you through and it's like a hey remember this remember me. The Exit- He is exiting the super ache and hes hoping they will be there too. I don't know which one I forgot....but that's my take and what information I took out of it and others
I truly love your reactions, I've been waiting for this one in specific, the way in which you tell what the songs make feel like is just... I just can relate with everything you say and I am happy to find someone who feels the same as me 🫂
I've been binge watching all of your lana del rey reactions since she is my favorite ever and i LOOOOVE how you analyse every aspect of her songs because they're literally a masterpiece and NOW im actually obsessed with this album and very excited and happy to see this reaction !! love your channel
Since you recently reacted to Kate Bush, who would later go on to inspire Björk, I thought you should listen to this semi-new artist who was also very inspired by Kate. Spellling's The Turning Wheel is this amazing art pop album from last year. It has a great mix of electric and acoustic instruments, creating a "witchy" atmosphere. The album splits into two parts about life and death. To describe these ideas, she uses animals, nature, and even more complex ideas such as your legacy to create a phenomenal soundscape of pop music which you won't find anywhere else. For me, it was my favourite album of 2021. Hope you check it out, I think you could get a lot from it both production and lyrically :)
I loved relistening to the album with u and hearing ur thoughts on it! ty for the watch 😎I heard u mention that you don't have many male singers to listen to who push the same kind of narratives - there's no pressure of course as its ur platform, but i would deffo recommend alec benjamin, even if it's just in your own time! he's very big on story telling through his lyrics :) One of the really good song story exams is built a friend and killed someone for you but some of his most popular ones are water fountain and devil doesn't bargain! enjoy if u chose to listen to him!
I wish you could react to Taylor Swift new single "CAROLINA." It's the soundtrack to the film "WHERE THE CRAWDADS SING." It has the same vibe as Folklore and Evermore, but I think it also has those so-called western vibes. BTW, i always love your reactions.
