@@EldritchCow It's about about the abusive relationship of Phil and Ronnie Spector- He forced her to stay in their home and she wasn't allowed to leave. He hid her shoes to make it harder for her to leave as well. The "Christmas kids" are kids Phil adopted on Christmas as a way to try and keep her in the marriage. He kept the kids in a room with a bucket for a toilet. Ronnie started drinking to purposefully put her into the hospital frequently. Eventually she escaped though. It's so horrifying ugh, yet this song keeps cycling through my head
@@EldritchCow Basically, Three girls (ronnie, her cousin and sister) formed a band in the late 50s/ early 60s and phil spector (a record producer) fell in love with ronnie (who he had an affair with not long after meeting her) a little while after the affair he divorced his wife at the time and married ronnie (phil was 24 and ronnie was 17 😅) Anyway idk why phil Bassiclly held ronnie captive but he would take away her shoes and adopt children to surprise her on Christmas i think it was bc if she left that she would feel bad for leaving the children in such a horrible place (they were littrely locked in a room with a bucket for a toilet ☹️
This song makes me wanna cry when it’s slowed down Perfect example of when your happy you enjoy the song When your sad you understand the lyrics When your high you see the Lorax flying away
for those who dont know,heres the backstory:phil spencer had a abusive relationship with ronnie spector,horrible things happened,she started drinking purposely to escale him,going to the hospital,about the christmas kids,actually its because phil adopted some kids on christmas to Ronnie stay with him,the kids did stay on a room with a bucket used as toilet,tell me if something is wrong.
this song gives me chills after hearing the backstory and the way that this part 1:50 sounds a little like Be My Baby by the Ronettes which ronnie was in is even more creepy.
Honestly this slow version gives me the same vibes of being stuck at my emotionally abusive grandma’s house, the one person I felt safe to talk about it with didn’t believe me
@@ianlilbit22’m so sorryyyy :c I was miserable back then, just know that once you stop having to deal with them it gets a lot better. Their words still linger in your head for a while, but just remember that they’re wrong :)
@@ivyofwgkta’m doing better now, I’ve been away from her for a few months (haven’t been going a whole lot since November 2021 but still have to deal with her every now and then) Every time my mom says I have to go there I have a mini panic attack-
@@cardrop33 bro but they said aaaaw to a song about abuse??? also i do listen to this a lot and i love the tune and beat just not the lyrics thats why i tune them out
Although it'd be cool, I don't think it'd fit really. The song is about abusive relationships, and Stranger Things uses songs from the time it's set in, which is the early - mid 1980s.
I love this song but when I found out the dark backstory about this I am listening to this song different and I have different feelengs about this song but this is still going to be my favorite song MAYBE becuase there is too much good songs.
Ronnette, my dear, don't ever disappear Do what you want as long as you stay here I need you now, I love you so much, more than you could know The Christmas kids were nothing but a gift And love is a tower where all of us can live You'll change your name or change your mind And leave this fucked up place behind But I'll know, I'll know I'll know, I'll know I'll know, I'll know I'll know, I'll know Appearing unsightly with devils inside me If you ever try to leave me, I'll find you, Ronnie If you ever try to leave me, I'll find you, Ronnie If you ever try to leave me, I'll find you, Ronnie If you ever try to leave me, I'll find you, Ronnie I'm leaving, Phil, I'm leaving now I'm going to escape, but you won't know how Or where to find me when I'm gone I'll drink myself to death inside this prison cell This prison cell So get me out of here Get me out of here Get me out of here Get me out of here You'll change your name or change your mind And leave this fucked up place behind But I'll know, I'll know I'll know, I'll know I'll know, I'll know I'll know, I'll know The meaning behind this song: The song is about producer Phil Spector's abusive relationship with his wife Ronnie Spector. Phil Spector was a music producer who was known for his innovative "Wall of Sound" production technique that was popular in the 1960s. He was married to Veronica "Ronnie" Bennett, who was the lead singer of the girl group, The Ronettes, between 1968 and 1974. According to Ronnie, Phil Spector was controlling and jealous, and he would often physically and emotionally abuse her. She described incidents where he would pull her hair, hit her, and even threaten her with a gun. She also said he would isolate her from her friends and family and force her to stay at home and not work on music. Appearing unsightly With devils inside me If you ever try to leave me, I'll find you, Ronnie "Phil Spector was said to have hidden his wife Ronnie's shoes so that she couldn't run away," Evans detailed to The Phoenix New Times. "He was rumored to have threatened his wife with a glass casket he kept in the house, saying that he would display her corpse in it if she attempted to escape. Spector was simultaneously writing and producing trite, catchy, pop songs for teens." And also, The title refers to the twins Louis and Gary Spector that Phil reportedly coerced Ronnie into adopting one Christmas in an attempt to revive their marriage. The Christmas kids were nothing but a gift And love is a tower where all of us can live Ronnie eventually filed for divorce from Phil Spector, citing irreconcilable differences. The singer later wrote in her 1990 memoir Be My Baby that she feared for her life during their marriage, and her mother helped her to escape from him. Louis and Gary Spector also accused their adopted father of engaging in likewise behavior towards them. Roar released "Christmas Kids" as a single on March 14, 2010. It entered the UK singles chart for the first time in 2023, 13 years later, after it trended on TikTok.
Its crazy...really... how can this backstory be true. Its sick. How can people do something like this and live on. Futile. Futile. Its futile. Ronnie was an innocent woman. She damn well didnt deserve this. Its more than just sad. Its angering. One of the only people I think that desevered death is Phil.
Gracias Aldana por hacerme dar cuenta lo q estaba mal y darme el empujón hacia el comienzo de una nueva etapa, voy a cambiar mi físico a ver si a fin de año ves q estuviste mal. Recuerdenme como alguien honorable y fuerte, los quiero a todos, deseenme suerte entrenando. -F*cktta13
Ánimo compadre si se puede! El tiempo siempre va a pasar, busca mejorarte lo más que puedas para que cuando llegue el momento estés listo para lo que sea o quién sea. Lo qué pasó, pasó. No vale la pena torturarte por algo que no puedes cambiar; síguele dando chingasos a la vida que por lo menos 6 de nosotros creemos en ti y queremos verte mejor.

I feel bad for Ronnie and the kids
Phil can burn in hell for all I care
I enjoy this song so much. But the backstory is very sad but it’s important to spread awareness to situations like this. Ronnie was an icon. ❤
Phil was one ugly old man
This song makes me wanna cry when it’s slowed down
Perfect example of when your happy you enjoy the song
When your sad you understand the lyrics
When your high you see the Lorax flying away
the lyrics randomly in my mind:christmas shits are non living like a gif

2. The picture of jack and rose
And 3. The slowed makes it sound more hurtful
Fr 😕
they were so cute, what happened in the end was so sad though
This feels like an ending to something horrible that you will remember forever
Yep, the song is supposed to be about a uhh.. terrible thing.

Best slowed version of this song
even though the backstory is tragic and Ronnie or the kids did not deserve what happened at all this is still such a hauntingly beautiful song.
"u change ur name or change ur mind"
"and leave this fucked up place behind"
"but i'll know.."
Aaaaw I love this song hopefully more people come and support this video
you do realise its about a abusive relationship right?
@@maxgreenwood2171you can love the song even if the lyrics (and the story behind) are not positive yk
@@maxgreenwood2171 so you can’t like a song with dark meanings? by this logic you can’t enjoy most music
@@cardrop33 bro but they said aaaaw to a song about abuse??? also i do listen to this a lot and i love the tune and beat just not the lyrics thats why i tune them out
@@cardrop33 and it wasnt dark meanings it was intentions he was abusive to ronnie
in living memory of veronica bennett. she didnt deserve any of it🕊️
They should've played this on stranger's things when she was trying to escape from that underground facility
That would be kinda cool, especially because of the "leave this fucked up place behind.." bit
Although it'd be cool, I don't think it'd fit really. The song is about abusive relationships, and Stranger Things uses songs from the time it's set in, which is the early - mid 1980s.
now this is what I call perfecttion
This slow and very good version
The picture look as if I was there with Danielle Rose Russel what a coicidente !
After learning the story of the song It's not the same while I'm listening it😢. Poor woman!
The song gets darker with each second
I love this song but when I found out the dark backstory about this I am listening to this song different and I have different feelengs about this song but this is still going to be my favorite song MAYBE becuase there is too much good songs.
at least ronnie outlived phil by almost an entire year?
phil died in jail on january 16th, 2021, and ronnie died on january 13th, 2022 :)
Al ver esta imajen y al escuchar esta cancion se .Me biene Muchos recuerdos tristes😭😭
Barbie movie vibe just listen...
Ronnette, my dear, don't ever disappear
Do what you want as long as you stay here
I need you now, I love you so much, more than you could know
The Christmas kids were nothing but a gift
And love is a tower where all of us can live
You'll change your name or change your mind
And leave this fucked up place behind
But I'll know, I'll know
I'll know, I'll know
I'll know, I'll know
I'll know, I'll know
Appearing unsightly with devils inside me
If you ever try to leave me, I'll find you, Ronnie
If you ever try to leave me, I'll find you, Ronnie
If you ever try to leave me, I'll find you, Ronnie
If you ever try to leave me, I'll find you, Ronnie
I'm leaving, Phil, I'm leaving now
I'm going to escape, but you won't know how
Or where to find me when I'm gone
I'll drink myself to death inside this prison cell
This prison cell
So get me out of here
Get me out of here
Get me out of here
Get me out of here
You'll change your name or change your mind
And leave this fucked up place behind
