WE React to TWENTY ONE PILOTS: heavydirtysoul - BOY CAN RAP FAST 

“What kind of music do you make?” Tyler: “Yes”

Blurred for copyright really fits this album

“Death inspires me like a dog inspires a rabbit “. So clever. They have a whole storyline of an alternate world of DEMA you can dive into

You guys are one of the only authentic reactors. You obviously do it cause you enjoy music and enjoy hearing new music at that! Got a new subscriber here

When he sings it live he screams the last chorus and it’s so impacting!!!!!

You have to start at the beginning of BLURRYFACE (who is driving) to understand. Also you’re right about the black. It signifies things he is insecure about (hands, throat) both instruments he uses to create his art. Blurryface is the personified manifestation of his insecurities and anxiety. And, Tyler writes everything. He also has created this entire alternate universe which is seen in blurryface through scaled and icy. SO MUCH TO UNPACK. 🤣 Pleaseeeee react to some live versions and start at the beginning of TØP

Tyler and Josh are 100% in charge with everything to do with the music - it's all created by them, the videos are their ideas, the shows are set up how they want them - it all comes from them and that will never change twenty one pilots were a big influence on NF, so you'll see some similarities from him (he even mentions them in one of his songs) this is from the album Blurryface (which is a concept album) - during this album, Tyler constantly battles Blurryface (which is the side of him that has insecurities, bad thoughts, etc) - when his hands and neck are covered in the black paint, it represents him trying to cover the insecurities in his music (writing and vocals) in this video, this is the first time we see "Blurryface" in the front of the car - so he is in control, you can see Tyler in the back motioning with his hands trying to get control of the car - at the end, the car start falling apart and Tyler is able to escape - the car falls apart with the drum hits from Josh so it's like the music is saving him (or his heavydirtysoul) - at the end, he's back in the car again i think meaning he's going to have to go through all this again the next day b/c if you notice at the very beginning it starts with the car on fire heavydirtysoul is also the prequel video and sort of bridge to their next album Trench, which has a trilogy of music videos that people will request - you'll want to get to know them more before you dive into those

This was one of Chester Bennington’s favorite groups! There’s a video of him singing this song in his car.

Tyler uses a lot of symbol : - black=insecurity - red=domination and fear - yellow=hope - fire= créativité - car= the body - loop= cycle You can think of this vidéo, like Tyler is no more of control of his body, its drive by its depression, Josh(friend) can change that, but a dépression can isolate you and it is a cycle. But Josh can break throught and the car Burn(its creativty/music can free him). Finally, depression is always a endless cycle and Tyler is back in the car

NF IS A BIG TOP FAN... HOPEFULLY THEY COLLAB ONE DAY

Tyler writes and produces all of their songs and sounds so there is no outside help. It truly is just him and Josh.

LET'S GO BOYS!!!

Loved hearing Kyle at end “I feel bad I even felt that way” lol valid but hey, you see the light now. There’s a multitude of reasons they’re my favorite band!

I think it's the first time I saw Kyle without a beard! Rock it!

I just recently saw them live in Phoenix Arizona for the icy tour, the way they play live is insane. they incorporated the entire crowd for the show. all the way from the top of the stadium to the pit.

Let’s go!! |-/ does this mean The Trilogy is next?? Jumpsuit, Nico and the Niners and Levitate??

people seemed surprised by what they can do. They are very popular in Ohio and got their breakthrough here. Glad you're listening to them and giving them a chance. Love watching you guys react 🤪

May I suggest listening to a live version of this? He screams the last “can you save, can you save my heavydirtysoul.” 🤘🔥

You mentioned wishing you could see more of their behind the scenes stuff and how they produce their music. This video actually has a behind the scenes “making of the vid” type thing where you can watch some of their process. They put one out with each of their official videos. You’d enjoy watching them on your own time I’m sure. Also…once you get to Trench…there’s a song called The Hype. It has a regular video but then Tyler reconstructed it in a studio and you can see his process. It’s very cool! It would be neat to do a reaction back to back to the original then watch the Berlin studio one! Top fans would eat that up. The guy is mesmerizing to watch. His IQ must be pretty high. I’d love to interview him. 😅

Recommend Twenty One Pilots - Fairly Local

YEEES, MORE TWENTY ONE PILOTS!!! 🔥❤️🔥❤️

I really love the video for this song but live takes it to a new level because Tyler adds a scream near the end.. ❤

SO glad this was released!!! Death inspires me like a dog inspires a rabbit... absolute FIRE in that short line! LOVED this reaction guys!

this is the prequel for jumpsuit, nico and the niners and levitate, thats a short story from trench. One more long it's the whole album in order but is more complex. Good reaction, keep it up (also, the album blurryface describes and presents an alter ego of tyler called after blurryface too) (the one driving is a bishop. There's nine of them but thats another story. One of them is called Nico (Nicholas Bourbaki and is very related to blurryface))

Almost to 40,000 subs Let's GOOOOOOO!!!!

I just found your channel today and I am loving the reactions! I got to see them in concert and they put Josh on a piece of plywood and those in the crowd held him up while he was drumming and it was amazing.

here for more pilots

Glad you were able to get this up Psychos…..good job!

Glad to hear this song done for reaction! But I would like to ask/hear in the comments for the sake of Kyle and Eric, what are some ways everyone has seen so these guys don’t run in to copyright holds anymore? My guess is the blurred video was what they had to do to get the blockage taken off and allow them to show their reaction. I’ve seen that some other reactors have made the video disappear while they are paused to talk about the music. Would that help with disruption and keep the copyrights off? Let’s get these guys some more ideas so they can react without the stress of getting slapped with copyright by the RU-vid police!

You guys should react to a live version of this song (for example pinkpop 2022). He does the last part with screaming and it just hits on new levels that you didnt even know existed :)

This is such a great song and music video. To explain- Tyler wears paint on his neck and hands to represent his doubts and anxieties- his neck because of his singing, and his hands because of the lyrics he writes. This song is from the band’s album Blurryface. Blurryface is a personification of all of Tyler’s anxieties and self doubts. The car represents Tyler’s mind and is literally a car too. Blurryface is driving the falling apart car, meaning that Tyler’s anxieties are controlling him, and his mind and self are falling apart. Josh, part of his personal support system, is there to help Tyler, but he remains trapped in the car. In the song, Tyler is asking someone to save him, which is what is seen in the video. At the snippet at the end, we see Tyler is still in the car being driven somewhere. This is the first video of a four video series, with the next three being Jumpsuit, Nico & The Niners, and Levitate, where we see where exactly Tyler was driven. Really enjoy the reaction.

Love this song. Love you guys. So glad you dropped this one today!!! Just had to say that before I even watch. Let’s go!!!!!!!! Music Junkies!!!!!!!!

There is so much I could say, but I’ll just say this for now: that car comes back in other videos because these guys tell a STORY with their music/albums/music videos. It is a big ol’ piece of symbolism. Loved how into it y’all got! Keep the TOP coming!

There are a lot of behind the scenes videos for their videos AND the concerts. They are fun to watch as well. So glad you are enjoying them still.

Loving these reactions! The appreciation you guys have for the music and the creativity on display is great. Tyler (the frontman) has VERY tight creative control over every aspect of the band, including music videos, merch, live shows, album covers, etc. He's very particular, to the point of being a perfectionist, and definitely has a vision to go along with the music. Looking forward to the next one!

just found you guys and I'm hooked! love love love your reactions. you can see your love of the music on upur faces. totally authentic music fans! love it

YES! Love all the 21 pilots content from you guys. They are AMAZING in concert, saw them this year. Highly recommend going to one of their shows if you can.

The good thing about this band is they also have a TON of behind the scenes for music videos and or tours, etc. I think you guys would love watching them.

plese react to isle of flightless birds, holding onto you, addict with a pen, the judge, Kitchen Sink, neon gravestone, screen these are the ones I like where they rap

Love yalls reaction and energy!!! These guys are my fav band all time and been to 3 shows so far amazing live … please stay on this train my guys

Kyle, you look like a completely different person! You are like my husband, clean shavin, y'all look so young!! Also, I love that I can click like on all your videos before even watching, because they never dissapoint. 💜

You guys should react to their live sessions with Mutemath. They make it even great!

my kid likes to blast this one in the car... there is something awesomely hilarious about hearing an 8 year old belting out "can you save my heavy dirty soul!". love your reactions!

I really enjoy your reactions and can't wait for more. This song is basically the start of the DEMA storyline where a lot of the Twenty One Pilots lore starts to get padded out. Following this track is Jumpsuit then Nico and the Niners followed by Levitate so that might be a good idea for the next reactions. After that, there are tracks like Shy Away, Choker, The Outside, Never Take It, No Chances, Redecorate, Chlorine, Neon Gravestones, Cut My Lip, Fairly Local, Doubt, Message Man, Goner, Holding On To You, Migraine, Fake You Out, Trees, Forest, Kitchen Sink, Fall Away, Trapdoor, Taxi Cab, Isle Of Flightless Birds.... the list goes on. That list started from newer tracks going back to the older stuff but it might make sense to flip it and start from the beginning to see how they've changed over the years These guys are one of those bands that will go down in history because they've got both vision and talent in spades. They don't settle for anything other than perfection of the art and they nail it every time. Can't wait to see more from you guys. Welcome to the Clique

i've been waiting for this!

Welcome to the early stages of becoming hooked on TØP and learning all the depth of meaning. The journey is worth the time. Love how you guys are doing this. Keep it up! The clik will lead you

I see more Twenty One Pilots \o/ I like!

My favorite TOP song is usually the last one I heard. Even if you go back to the stuff Tyler did in his basement as a teen recording “No Phun Intended” he has always been to brilliant.

one of the things that I love about heavydirtysoul is the fact that it sounds like "wombat" at the end and i cannot unhear it.

Yes the black thing on his nick and hands it’s represent his insecurities (his voice and his music writing )

This is for sure one of my favorites for upbeat songs of theirs. Fairly Local and Chlorine are other great ones to check out.

The Fox show Gotham named episodes after songs for a time, and season 3 ep 22 was titled heavydirtysoul. Also Stressed Out was used on Supergirl, which was great cos I watched that ep while waiting to see a doctor to get referred for emergency surgery, which happened.

Their concept story for the music is incredible and so complex it takes ages to write it down like this. I would recommend watching some videos on tøp lore. This one is from Blurryface era. That album is the first one in history to have every track be certified by the RIAA

been loving your guys’ tøp reactions! as well as the slaughter to prevail and lorna shore reactions. yall always make my day better 🤘🏻 idk if you guys take suggestions from comments but yall NEED to react to them performing their song “Trees” live at the Fox Theater. crazy concert i actually just saw them live in san francisco 2 weeks ago and they are still just as badass as they were years ago

Really enjoying those reactions man ! Holding on to you next ✌

To continue the saga you will need to watch Jumpsuit next. Follow that up with Nico and the nines, then Levitate. The story co times from there with the next album. Tyler is a genius. He with the help from Josh create every aspect. Songs, music, videos, live shows and all of the small things that go with the "lore". Blurryface is driving. He's the Bishop who is most concerned with Tyler. There is a whole storyline to these. It's all tied together in not just music and videos but also with websites, livee performances, social media and the even had a livestream event that was the best thing I've seen. I love when new people find Twenty one pilots and understand them.

I slept on these guys at first too, ( around Heathens ), I remember thinking, this is cool, and when I saw the video I thought they made the most out of their situation. Using clips from the movie, aligning w/ the biggest stars on the planet certainly more than put them on the map… and then as the years went on, I found myself constantly blown away by the next single or badass video. And then in 2019, I started listening to EVERYTHING they had done up to that point. Deep dives into their catalogue. They became my favorite band!!! And I’m in my 50’s!! ( but spent my whole life collecting vinyl and listening to tons of music). Prolific is an understatement. I LOVE THESE GUYS . Do believe the hype.

The car = his body/life. Same as it was in Car Radio

love watching reactors, and i just found you guys lol not gonna lie 8:07 took me by surprise with the giant fish bowl lmao

I dont's usually watch reaction videos but your channel guys is amazing!

These guys put so much effort into their music, and almost as much into their LORE. If you want a journey and a fricken-half, research their lore, it is INSANE. Great vid too guys, keep it up 👊

What I like about the video is that it doesn't really contain that much. No big cgi or lots of actors or anything. And yet you are immediately in.

PLEASE WATCH IT LIVE

I’m so excited to see your reaction but first I wanna say that you should react to jumpsuit music video as soon as possible love you guys ❤

This song, this video 🔥🔥🔥

We for sure are gonna have to explain the lore and videos. I am not that person but there are those that can explain it! It gets so cool! I have heard we have one more album left to finish this lore story! But tons of songs to go thru until then! Whoohoo can’t wait for more!

really enjoying your TOP journey!

Can’t wait to see this reaction, as a TØP Stan/nerd I love seeing people react to them! CLIQUE FOREVER

OMG Kyle's face straight from the beginning 😅 LOVE IT

ooooh they diving into the trilogy!!!!! lets go!!! im so ready! in this orderr boys: heavydirtysoul, jumpsuit, nico and the niners, levitate! this set literally saved my life and helped explain my depression to my friends!

There is always meaning in everything they do - messages in the songs and videos. Blurryface was driving the car and then you will see in the video that there was no driver towards the end. The car often represents life - the journey you take. You’ll see it was going round in a loop - they often talk about cycles, and getting out/breaking the cycle. So much imagery in their videos and songs representing metaphors with life and struggles.

❤TOP❤‍🔥❤‍🔥 You should check them out Live at the Fox Theatre. Their live shows are on another level of greatness!! Lov'n ur reactons ❤

Great reaction! Love seeing you get into TOP's awesomeness!! As for sleeping on them, haha, these words come to mind... "We've been here the whole time. You were asleep. Time to wake up," - Tyler Joseph says as he jumps off the burnt up heavydirtysoul car at the beginning of the Jumpsuit video. HDS is a pre-qual to the Jumpsuit, Nico and the Niners, and Levitate music video trilogy. Glad you two have arrived, welcome to the Clique! 💙🤍💙

Yooo let's go! Some recs. Addict with a pen. Holding on to you. Guns for Hands. Ride. Levitate. Chlorine. Hometown

Funny you mention NF. NF mentions Tøp in one of his songs. Blurryface is driving. And this video is a loop because Tyler is in a loop. There's so much in their videos!

it all comes from just them. mainly tyler (singer, songwriter, overall fucking genius). can't wait for you both to listen to Jumpsuit. idk if you are ready to dive in into the entire universe they've built. it's a lot of lore to take in. nice to see eric has been taking some notes.

Kyle would love the live version of this song. Huge scream at the end!!

New subscriber here because of your reactions to TØP. Be completely honest and let yourselves go down the most intriguing rabbit hole. Welcome… to the Clique.

Awesomeness! This is my fave TOP song (glad you're on to NF too :)

They put on such a good show!

This was a great reaction guys 🤟this is a song i did not know IT was twenty one pilot heard it often tho and Kyle without a Beard is what surprised me the most ✌️

I was not ready for clean shaven Kyle 😂 but great reaction. Yall are my favorite reactors

Isle of flightless birds please. Love the reactions. Keep up the good work!

There is also a lot of lore in this band and it’s something to look into. In this video specifically, hes being driven to a place called Dema.

I love how Kyle can't close his mouth.... Please more twenty one pilots reactions!

Idk how you guys haven’t done stressed out yet you’ll love the video. Especially because if the nostalgia. And this song actually comes from a street poetry video Tyler put out way before this song even came out. You even get to hear the character blurry face at the end of that video. It just goes to show how much thought they put behind everything. And I know you guys already heard migraine, car radio, and holding onto you, but please listen to those three songs live captured in the live room. It will blow you away with how intimate the performance is because it’s just them two in a small studio going crazy trust me please watch it it’s amazing 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Kyle, you keep saying you know Heathens but Eric hasn't seen it. Last summer, Stranger Things approached TOP to do a mashup, which they performed one time only. They did a mashup with Heathens in Romania. The video is on the TOP channel. It's very good. You owe your brother this one! And you'll enjoy it too!

You guys are my favorite reactors!

Definitely check them out live!! The best concert ever!!

Found you thru TOP and really enjoy your videos. You should do “the hype” then “the hype Berlin” on the same video. That will sow you their diversity

I would deffo recommend watching the Trench Trilogy from them: Jumpsuit, Nico and the Niners and then Levitate. It expands the character of blurryface massively into a Universe called Dema that tries to control those who live within its walls and so the series (and the album Trench itself) is about Tyler trying to escape Dema

As others may have said, this leads into the trilogy of jumpsuit, nico and the niners, and levitate. ( in that order) Just know that through their albums they have created a whole other world and storyline to follow that continues from album to album. It's easy to get lost, but just take each song for what it is. Jam to their beats, dive into the lyrics, or better yet....do both. Please show the deep tracks love, they are all bangers. Just pick an album and press play. Keep it up, you guys rock!

1:37 I love how Kyle, being a metal head is vibing more than Eric being a hip hop head with a hip hop song

Oh you guys gotta go through the rest of the video series they have! There's an order starting with this song ❤️ Order after this song: Jumpsuit > Nico and the niners > Levitate > chlorine > Saturday> The Outside Chlorine and Saturday will seem out of place. But theyre part of it in a way. Lol they make sense for the last video.

He's creating a distraction to escape again

Heavydirtysoul live in unmantched

This video is from 2013: it was “street poetry” but ultimately became the verses in heavydirtysoul: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-J6R5KQ8b4lQ.html

I just stumbled upon you guys a couple days ago and discovered your reactions to NF, which is my favorite rap singer of all time. Twenty one Pilots is on the same level as NF, but as a “group” where the singer can also rap. They also sound different song by song and album by album. They’re phenomenal. To be absolutely blown away look up their collab with Mutemath.

But if you liked this video it kinda tells a story with several videos. HeavyDirtySoul, then jumpsuit would be next followed by nico and the niners and levitate. But the story continues with the videos for Saturday and the outside. .
