You absolutely need to sit down and watch the whole special, not even for the channel, but the experience. Bo locked himself in that one room from the beginning of this project until it was finished, and I cannot overstate how profound and powerful the final product is, on every level, from music, to mood, to meaning. Such an indescribably talented and tortured artist
i second this. SO MUCH to unpack... ive been watching Bo for years and this special really hit hard. IF YOU SEE THIS COMMENT WATCH "INSIDE" by BO BURNHAM!
i will sub here or patreon if you watch this p l e a s e
It is actually art how he displays mental health, one of the most well-done films in history I am not exaggerating it's crazy.
@@royalty7794 For sure! It is, to me, the very essence of art. The lighting, the camera work, the choreography, the editing, the lyrics, the music, the whole progression of the production, the raw humanity behind it, the layers of intelligence and thought on top of it, and the social commentary to boot, such a beautiful product of its time!
Well not really. If you look at the end of the make happy special outside of that room is his house. I suppose him being "locked" in that room was more of a metaphor for being stuck at home, but he doesn't actually live in that room, and he does live with his girlfriend. It's just his studio that he added a bed to lol Doesn't take away from how amazing and moving this special was though.
This song hits so hard when you watch the special. The special starts out like typical Bo comedy, and you can just slowly see him become more unhinged as the special progresses. Then this one comes up at the end, and you're left feeling equally as empty. It's a wild ride, and Bo is a virtuoso for being able to display the jaded cynical dissociation that so many people are feeling today.
It’s the hair and beard length getting longer across the whole special that is a really subtle layer showing the ‘unhinged’ aspect of being locked in.
The best part is its aaaallllll scripted lol
@@TheKrazykyleman Yes very fun... If you only have dumb shit to say dont say it
@@TheKrazykyleman What are you trying to imply, that it's somehow not genuine because he was intentional with the writing and staging? If that's the case, well, no song is ever genuine, because all the lyrics are scripted...
@@peterlewis2178 the fact that it's scripted is an intentional layer to it. The fact that everything in the special is fake is part of the message.
To me the part where he says "it's almost over, it's just begun" and "Don't be scared, don't be shy, come on in the water's fine" resprisents how shitty it feels when you make a lot of progress on your mental health and then regress for a few days then tou think 'here we go again' and then how it's so easy to just give into past thought cycles and bad habits.
Well said Caroline, thank you for the interpretation 😊
I just commented something similar. I suffer from severe anxiety,panic attacks and depression. And BO has states he suffers from the same things. So this song imo is about anxiety and panic attacks.
Needed to see this comment today thank you
Perfectly said.
I think it is about the comedian / audience relationship, he is inviting you to his world, that you enter without overthinking that the water is fine...Bo already sang this song in his previous one-man show, but in Inside he reinforced its meaning
"All Eyes On Me" is from his special "Inside", which he performed, filmed, edited and produced by himself inside his home completely isolated during covid. Musical comedy is Bo's strong suit and there are many great songs in "Inside", but the thing that intruiged me the most was, you can see him living through different mental states throughout the 90 minutes and in between songs. Right before this song he sat in front of the camera trying to say, "So, I've been working on this special for a year now, which is a lot longer than I anticipated, when I started..." He couldn't build that sentence and had to abort his attempts infuriated. That scene alone broke my heart and gave me shivers down my spine, because it felt real. Bo Burnham has a deep impact on me. By the way, "Welcome to the Internet" is from that same special and shows the emotional range. I hope to see more Bo soon.
Thus is accurate.
MORE BO. "Can't Handle This". "That Funny Feeling". "Art Is Dead". ALL OF IT.
that and turning 30. talk about a crisis, compare yourself to ypur grandpa no matter who u are, and you will feel like a loser. almost all the time. imagine fighting in vietnam oagainst building a bird house with your mom
@@mikeredd8833 Ahh yeah that's a banger. I understand that take 100% but there are plenty of us 30 year old's who have lived some tough lives and done some tough shit...just like our Dad and Pa did.
@@lazyblazer fair and true. And some grandpa's who had it easy :p
@@mikeredd8833 😂😂
"That Funny Feeling" wrecks me EVERY TIME 😭
The fact that he locked himself in his own house to work on this special is absolutely a monument to the mental strength he has. He took a break for 5 years because of panic attacks, and after finally being ready to get back into the mix and not hide from the world, the world stops. Covid hits. And he is forced right back into isolation again. I can’t even imagine how hard that must’ve been
Yeah, can relate.
That was the very agenda of the plandemic - to isolate and break down.
He’s such a deep artist even if on the surface he just seems funny
It’s something else watching him perform!😊👍
@@ReactionTherapyOfficial If you haven't watched the whole thing yet please do. As a youtube, you will really appreciate it.
Yea idk if hes a parody/joke artist or not
This song is kinda a sequel to the last song he did before his hiatus called "Cant handle this". You can kinda tell his breaking up a bit and by the end of the song he gets really deep about how bad he feels and the last words he says are "I hope you're happy." It's something you should watch if you want to understand his journey a little better.
Bo won a Grammy for this and it was well deserved. This is amazing & I hope everyday hes living happier and happier. Keep on keepin on BO!
I absolutely love how he crafted the "stages" of this song, more then anything else.
He starts with the sound of a crowd and then starts speaking as if it's at them, "all eyes on me" and "put your hands up" and all those lines that gives the listener the idea that he's addressing the "crowd," whether you realize they're real or not lol
You then get a hint of something being more off when we switches from "get your hands up" to "heads down, praying for me."
Right after that first switch up he then gives you his very real story, of his struggles, and explains where he's been for so long, only to finish it off with the realization that he was forced back INSIDE once again.
He then repeats those same lines that were originally made to look like they were directed at the crowd, but this time with the story you just heard it re-frames everything, now realizing that it's to him, it's his anxiety and panic, he's basically describing what they feel like.
Then ofc going into describing further the feelings created from his depression and mental state.
Finally leading into him grabbing the camera just to break the illusion for good at the end, with it no longer looking like a "music video" but just a guy with a camcorder in his room during the pandemic.
It's a fucking journey through his entire psyche and just goes to show how much of a lyrical and musical genius that man is. This song is a masterclass on every facet of production lol
I often wonder how he feels about being called a genius in so many aspects of his profession. It makes me sad to think that it's probably overwhelming. Being so good at something feels like you're working double time to avoid disappointing people. I hope he realizes that the community that follows him could neve the disappointed in him. But depression is a bitch and reality doesn't matter to a diseased brain.
@@ln9256 my understanding from his interviews is he does not mind but has less anxiety writing for others than preforming himself
I'd love to see a reaction "Can't Handle This" aswell, as the one on CZcams is his very last performance specifically as he's talking about in this song.
Honestly, after learning how Bo Burnham has struggled so much with Anxiety and stuff even while on stage, it made me look at his Netflix special "Inside" with even more pain, love and everything.
It's an hour and a half with different songs, but I'd LOVE to see your reaction from start to end on Inside especially.
After learning so much about Bo, I hold him up with the legends. He's an amazing artist, and his songs hits hard, wether it be a comedic song, it always breaks down into some very real stuff, and there's always so many thoughts to be juggling behind each of his song.
All of this
Can't Handle This would be solid reaction. I have seen many comedian in my 49 years of life. Can't Handle This may be one of the bits of all time. To be that self aware....
I would say that would be one of the better therapist reactions. He was really going through it then.
The Psychological Metaphors inside that performance... Specially equating it to Kanye's mental breakdown performance... Which alot of people did not catch...
@@abramrexjoaquin7513 he also used the same chord progression as Kanye’s Runaway.
Wow. I’ve listened to this song over 100 times and you just now made me make the connection of the “you say the oceans rising like I give a shit” part. I always heard it as him saying it’s too late to change anything but I never considered the fact that it’s his anxiety that’s the problem for him caring about bigger issues. “Why would I care about climate change ending the world when I feel like I’m dying every day because of my mental health.” So interesting
This entire special helped me a lot with understanding my mental illnesses, and this song specifically resonated a lot with being sewer slidal for me. Like "you say the ocean's rising, like I give a shit, you say the whole world's ending, honey it already did" was so powerful. The entire special was so powerful. I really recommend people watch this
I feel this. I absolutely feel this. Same boat my dude. It was strange and emotional watching this special because it was like watching myself in my own breakdowns. And it made me not feel so alone. But at the same time, it was terrifying to realize this is what it looks like from the outside. But yes, that line. “You say the whole world’s ending, honey it already did.” Is the exact line I always hear in my head when I have my breakdowns. Every time. I feel you 100% my friend
It was so timely. Like I started streaming on twitch just to try and connect with people and raise money. A year later and we where still stuck inside, And I felt like a dancing monkey begging for pennies because i didn't get my covid benifits on time to pay rent. Then I quit because hitting the "go live" button gave me anxiety. Just sitting in my room, talking to myself, hoping some text will show up in the chat to prove im not crazy. Took a long break, and then came back. Then this special dropped, and I cried. Someone gets me. This song gives me chills everytime. And made me really recognize how many creatives where stuck inside, trying to make it work. "How about I sit on the couch and watch you next time" in the next song. LMAO.
Totally relate to the line you mentioned as well. 30 was another one that resonated with me a lot because I’m also about to turn 30. When he said “it’s 2020 and I’m 30, I’ll do another 10, 2030 I’ll be 40 and k*** myself then” I cried, because I have had that exact same thought. I have never said it out loud and hearing someone else say it made me feel so many things.
This songs feels like a real mental breakdown to me, having been through it myself this hits me hard every single time.
Bo actually made this comedy special during the Covid lockdown. He recorded every song in one room using a variety of different lighting techniques that he did entirely by himself.
I have such a connection with this song. It always makes me flash back to the first time I started going out to public places (church, gatherings,etc.) after working through the first wave of covid in the ICU. I was so apprehensive, shaking, had palpitations because I felt I didn’t know how to be normal after all the things I saw/did. And then as soon as I felt it was getting better, I had to work through the second wave and right back into isolation. I’ve gotten better, but it was such a difficult time.
Watch the special. It's genuinely painful, but life changing. I sobbed through half of it as a person experiencing anxiety, depression, BPD, and Autism. It held a mirror up to my soul.
it’s not like he his in his house - he IS in his house.
This was from his 2021 special called Inside which was recorded throughout 2020.
For context, Bo Burnham was a CZcams star (early youtube) turned to a standup comedian. He made 2 popular standup specials, what. and Make Happy, but he stopped performing in 2016 because of severe anxiety and panic attacks - which he mentions in this song.
INSIDE is basically about a man who spends 5 years bettering himself mentally, and he finally feels confident enough to go back outside and start performing again, and in a tragically ironic twist of fate, the pandemic happens which forced him (and the rest of us) back inside. Right back to square one.
INSIDE is touching, depressing, hilarious, cute, raw, and downright beautiful. You owe yourself the experience of watching it. Plus, when you’re finished, Bo just released over an hour of extra footage, songs, and outtakes from INSIDE.
I hope you’re well. Keep it up, this was a great reaction.
I should add something: the crowd sound effects are all added in. you’re right about that.
He produced, edited, filmed, wrote, and performed everything himself. Everything. All by himself. Fucking crazy.
Great synopsis. It's such an odd choice as the first Bo Burnham song.
He did his Netflix special this way because of Covid. It’s a commentary on multiple things. I absolutely love his art. I’ve been watching him on CZcams since he started.
Rehab for fictional characters was my intro to him and he's only gotten better with age
If you have any interest in mental health, it’s a 100% must watch. My interpretation of this song is Bo’s internal monologue as he talks himself through one of his panic attacks
This song by Bo hits me so deeply emotionally it’s hard to explain, it hurts almost. You can feel his pain and struggle.
this for me, but with that funny feeling...its just a bit too real
@@draconasthewalker yeah that funny feeling and goodbye hit hard too.
@@TyroneBiggums789 " how about I sti on the couch and watch you next time" XD. Sometimes chat will flame me for something, or just try to get a reaction out of me and I hit them with that line.
Nonono. You NEED to watch his INSIDE Movie. Sit down for an hour. Watch it. Like people said before, he did the entire thing in his bedroom. Itll answer all the questions you have.
I actually had something very similar happen to me. For five years I lived with pretty severe agoraphobia. I basically designed a kind of exposure therapy for myself that my friends helped me work through and was able to get well enough to go back to school. I studied to become a medical assistant. My externship at a lab was going to be my first real big test for myself to see if I had actually gotten over it... and my first day was a week after the outbreak. After all that time I finally came outside and literally everyone else on the planet went in.
I hope you are well.
Congrats & best of luck for a positive journey
You have to watch Bo's "Can't Handle This," it was the closing number from his last tour before he quit for 5 years and it is absolutely gorgeous and chilling.
I was lucky enough to see Make Happy live in St. Louis in 2016. It was an absolutely phenomenal show, and I was blown away by his massive talent. Mental health struggles are SO misunderstood, especially by people who don't experience them, but his songs really hit home for me.
@@shana8592 Wow thats incredible I would have love to see him live. In a way this special makes it feel like your in the room with him. Until Intermission when he wipes the other side of the screen and remeinds you that there is a barrier. And he is in fact alone. Then, he pulls you right back into the room with this song.
I had a somewhat similar experience to Bo. I have what I call "crippling anti-social tendencies". Had told myself in March 2019 "I'm gonna make a real effort to see my friends and go out and do things" As Bo said "Then the funniest thing happened"
Well then you had a year to be social?
I think the line that best captures the feel of being in lockdown is "Got it? Good. Now get inside."
Bo is pretty amazing.
If you want to understand him a little better, I'd suggest "Art is Dead", "Can't Handle This", and "Left Brain, Right Brain".
The ended song in "Make Happy" is a great one. And of course the Kanye rant.
This song is one of many from Bo that makes me cry real tears. It's so important to see the raw emotion and pain. You can't help but feel everything with him.
This is the first video of yours I've seen and not only the commentary, but the kind words after, the supportive nature of your channel overall, and especially stressing the importance of getting real help if you need it, is outstanding. Fantastic reaction and I wish you the best, I'm sure this channel will soar!
Cant Handle This is the song he was having his panic attacks during, it's definitely worth watching, even if on your own time. And when you're finished reacting to him, I would definitely reccommend watching Make Happy and Inside in their entirety on your own time just so you have the context of it all. Bo has so many songs/comedy bits that focus on mental health. I've been watching Bo since his early years, and speaking as someone with severe anxiety/depression, he's such an inspiration.
The first time I watched INSIDE, not only did I find it incredibly poetic and reflective of the state of the world but I felt like it was a deep reflection of his mental state at that time. I freaking loved every song and thought two things, 1. He is SO talented, 2. Is he actually okay because I felt 99% was unsettling (and relatable) and I genuinely worried for his mental health. LOVE him.
I remember seeing Make Happy live during his college campus tour and I left afterwards feeling his mental struggles for years. When this special came out, I knew Make Happy was just a peak. Watching the progression from special to special is worth analysis on its own.
He is alone doing the performance from his room. The laughs are added by him to highlight how throughout his career he has said over and over again how miserable he is and we all took it as just jokes so now that theres no joking and it is blatantly obvious he is bearing his soul he adds the laugh tracks to show how the crouds laughter has made him feel this whole time. If you watch his entire artwork it shows a very happy carefree kid making videos in his room turn into a celebrity and get used so much that he turned cynical. His 3rd special is just about how he's a corporate puppet being jerked around for money. Bo is crazy self aware and if you've been a long time fan it's really nice to see him finally becoming happier. After "Make Happy" I really thought we would lose him.
This song is a masterpiece. The lyrics have multiple meanings and brings me to tears during different parts each time I hit replay. That’s what brought me to this video, and I heard yet another meaning in his words. He’s so anxious, thought he got over it, and though he thought it was over, it’s just begun. You can see how many meanings are in the songs when you look at the verse “you’re not gonna slow it” -he’s talking about slowing the spread. It’s just. This song. I can’t articulate my feelings. I send to friends and recommend them to listen to it alone, in a quiet place, with headphones, when they need to *feel* something.
Thank you for the review and thank you Bo for this song. I will continue to pray for you.
I actually interpreted this song as a positive outlook on life. That worrying and focusing on the little things or what other people make you feel is not a good way of living.
“Don’t be scared, don’t be shy, come on in the water’s fine.”
And the parts of the world ending or having already ended is a healthy outlook too. Memento Mori, we will all die, maybe tomorrow or maybe in 70 years, but we will and one has to enjoy and live life to the fullest today.
Being that I also suffer from anxiety and panic attacks. I think this song is Cleary about anxiety and panic attacks. You tell yourself in your head that it's almost over but then you have the thought it's just started. Then the whole just do it with the water being fine. Then we get the go where every body knows everybody. And for people like us who suffer from the same type of anxiety and panic attacks? Thinks just like that. I would question who's going to be there when people would ask me to come to a dinner etc. And it helps when everyone that's going os someone you already know.
@@joshuat5140 I think going to go where everybody knows is about dying.
What friends ?
Hey Tom! I actually recommended this one a little while ago so awesome to see you react to it! If you want to continue down the bo train, a good one for a mental health analysis is "cant handle this" which was actually what he performed just before taking his 5 year hiatus. Keep it up!
Can't handle this by him next! It's the last thing he did before he took the break. It's amazing
Yes!!! Bring on the Bo Burnham!
THIS COMMENT IS SO TRUE^
When he yells to “get tf up”, it feels like he’s yelling at himself. Both from others and from my own personal experience, sometimes when you get stuck in this weird stuck place where something has to give but nothing is and nothing is and nothing is, the only way to break out is to actually scream at yourself like that. I can’t, but I use this song and a couple others to vicariously create that experience when I need it. It can also be really cathartic. Like snapping back into yourself.
100% you need to watch the whole special. Incredible art - includes some profound psychological thoughts
I've been waitinggg, THANK YOU!!!
He’s such a talented musician it’s crazy. Not only a creative artist, but very apt at writing music
more bo please! Cant handle this is the last song he did before he took the break he talked about in this one so would give some nice context!
Would like to see you react to Cokaa “Die Young”
Thank you!
bo was actually going mental inside himself producing this whole special. please watch reflect and also react to it all, i could absolutely benefit off of you doing so. i myself deal with some things i never came to grips with before watching this, and now am working on because of the realizations ive had since because of it. this special changes lives. ALSO, BO is one of the funniest and creative mrkrs ive ever came across.. thank you bo.
I absolutely love this song. Before I hear your breakdown, to me it symbolizes his anxiety and fears around performing. Beautiful song. Intense video with it.
I would love to see you review Cokaa "die young"
Thank you !
Bo is the personification of "the quiet part out loud"
you really need to watch the special, ands so good and shines a lot on mental health
if you listen to this song with the approach that he’s singing as his depression/anxiety, it’s even darker
I wish I could find a therapist like you around where I live.
"Well, I'm right back where I started 5 years ago" -- there's a line in his final song that basically says that EXACT thing. But you definitely need to listen to all of Inside to get it!
Yeah I wanted to pay a compliment on this as well - having watched a few videos, it’s given me a fresh perspective on separating the art from the artist. I will often think, “okay that’s not a crazy guess or anything but no just... hold on, listen to the whole thing and maybe then look up this or that if you’re not sure what that was about when they said that, at that point I’m very curious to hear your thoughts.”
This time, on the other hand, when his insight as a therapist suggested Bo was probably struggling with circumstance sending him back to where he began, I wished I could share with him the moment when Bo is caught naked in the spotlight with the lyrics “well, well, look who’s inside again” coming at him in haunting mockery. It really is the precise moment of horrifying self-reflection the entire special has been building to, one I identify with more than I could explain but anyway you couldn’t come to a more apt conclusion as a professional analyst of mental health and it really delivers the promise of the channel. Genuinely impressive.
The thing that hit me about this special was that the entire descent into madness due to isolation was exactly what I feel with a chronic disability and extensive cycle of homelessness effectively making me feel completely cut off from everyone else's experiences with life. It was the first time I've felt seen, and it was both ecstatic to feel and also terrifying. Like, it ended for everyone else with Covid restrictions but for people like me, the isolation (social segregation, if you will) never ends. And that is a pretty rough conclusion to have come to.
This project is the without a doubt most impressive things I’ve ever seen in my life.
this is the first video ive ever watched of this channel and having anxiety understood instead of just hearing "just think positive" made me cry
I love that hes openly expressing this underlying anger that performers have to their audience. Its like “dance monkey! I dont care if youre dying inside. Be my clown cause thats why you’re here.” Obviously theres much more to a man than his career. I suffer from anxiety and I cant imagine experiencing it on the level that he has. Bo didnt owe me anything but I hope he knows im grateful for his transparency, I dont think any song has resonated this way for me. All eyes on me.
watching this music video in context within the special completely changes the entire vibe and mood of it, really drives it home because you understand the head space hes coming from right from the get go. this whole special is gutting, and devastating and beautiful.
Will you react to Cokaa & Colin Keyz - Die young ?
Thank you 🙏
We need more Bo Burnham on the channel
Please do more Bo Burnam that would be awesome, "that funny feeling" "welcome to the internet" would blow your mind
hes done welcome to the internet
8:25 idk if youve already seen the full special but when you said that it made me think of one of the lines from the finale song-- "Am i right back where i started 14 years ago?"
Theres so many layers to this song i like watching people slowly discover that blind o.o its so ominous when you realize the laugh track is edited in and the whole time youre left feeling something youve never felt from music before. The entire Inside project is an absolute masterpiece 🙏
So i just came across this video and I have to say this is one of my go to video when I talk about mental health. I think it very greatly explains how people with mental health issues felt during covid. You saw all the celebrities talking from their Hollywood mansion saying how it was difficult times and we'd all get through this together. We all had it rough through covid but I think the people who struggle with depression and anxiety were kinda ignored and pushed to the side. Everyone was saying to stay home whether it was justified concern or social grandstanding and I think he's just shows the turmoil that can go through your head isolated and alone. He's a performer. His one job is to make sure everyone else in the room is having fun and enjoying themselves. Bo is also an atheist as displayed in his other specials. In the song he wants everyone to get up and have a good time but reality comes crashing back and out of desperation he tells everyone "hey I need you to stop having a good time for a minute and pray for me" but in the end he puts his own feelings aside and resumes the party to the point of demanding "get the fuck up". I think the most haunting part of the song is the short chuckle at the end. It's not a happy laugh. It reminds me of Joaquin Phoenix's joker. He's the life of the party and wants everyone to laugh with him and have a good time even when he's broken and hurting inside.
Please react to Cokaa die young!🙏
Thank you
not at a concert. he added the crowd noise. he knows when we are going to laugh and cheer. hes smarter than us. and have watched people do it to many times
I just now stumbled across this channel and I appreciate the concept. Subbed.
This special made me feel less alone in this life.
Finally bo on the channel 🥳
Def gotta add Cokaa Die Young it's fire
Thank you!
This song gives me absolute CHILLS everytime that overlapped voice hits it’s just such a powerful beautiful and crazy song
I agree with many on here Cokaa - Die Young is definitely one you need to do! The lyrics are so deep and meaningful. It’s true storytelling from the heart. You can hear it and feel it. It’s a must add to your list!!!
Thank you !
Yeah he *absolutely* has the ability to suck you in and make you feel like you’re right there in the room!
The first time I saw his “all eyes” video, it was like 2am, my house was dark and peaceful, I had my headphones on…and I legitimately “jumped” when he barks the order “GET UP” and quickly moved towards the camera.
My poor little chihuahua nearly got catapulted across the room!🤣🤦♀️
You honestly should react to his whole special. its perfect for your channel. he is very very open and thoughtful about his emotions and things like the harm of social media, etc. Just there is an abundance of things that would fit your channel perfectly.
Edit: WHile there are many songs of his not on this album worth listening to, I would suggest "Kanye Rant" (cant handle this). that concert is the last he did before he took his 5 year hiatus, and that song was the last song of the concert and he said he had a panic attack while on stage in that video.
So if you watch the video of that song you are seeing him have a panic attack. I wouldnt normally point this out so specifically, but you are a therapist, and I think its useful context for you if you watch it.
Now it just makes sense to listen to Can't handle this, it basically is the last song he did live
I'm not sure how you do request but please react to Cokaa ft Colin Keyz- Die Young . You won't regret it!
Thank you 🙏
bo burnham to me is an example of being the change you want to see in the world. I dont know a whole lot about him tbh but the first time I heard of him was when art is dead came out. And now, to see him doing all these amazing things with music, it certainty inspires many artists
I came here to watch a reaction, but I ended up gaining new insight into my anxiety. Thank you so much!
Honestly you should react to Cokaa-Die Young feat Colin Keyz
Thank you!
New follower here, please please watch the full film! It's basically a documentary painted in his "comedy" explaining many many MANY rollercoasters he not only personally faces but is relatable to others as well.
His struggle to make the documentary itself and admitting alot of personal flaws and failures in it's production is just...something I have never seen before and highly respect. Dare I say borderline life-changing.
Every part of the special holds incredible insight and you’d really benefit from seeing it in it’s entirety! God bless!
There is an intro to this song that shows just what his state of mind was recording it... I was very much in tears even before the song started.
It's from his Netflix special INSIDE filmed during lockdown all on his own. Its a rollercoaster of emotion and he won an Oscar for it! I highly recommend watching it from start to finish
Bro he's just vibing to this song and I'm sitting here trying not to cry everytime i hear it
React to Cokaa: Die Young!
Thank you 🙏
Love the outside perspective. He even said “his insides out” which is the name of the special, “inside”.
You need to watch the whole special for your own pleasure. 6 Emmy noms and won 3 .... It's really good and you need to watch it front to back because of the progression of the time and the monologues between segments. He wrote the entire special in that one room over a year or more and directed EVERYTHING you see. Dude is a straight up genius. He has also directed a full-length movie called Eighth Grade which scored really good on Rotten Tomatoes. He was planning on being done by a certain time and missed his deadline, so he actually wrote a song all about it.
GO WATCH THE SPECIAL :D
Speaking of irony, you should listen to bo's ironic song as well!
I’m in! Let’s do it!😊👍
Watching “the inside” before listening to Bo’s “Kanye rant” is sad 😢
It really is.
"That Funny Feeling" from the same special. It's so heartfelt and disturbing at the same time. Absolutely wrecks me.
I like to sometimes watch Bo Burnham’s finales from 3 of his specials one after another - We Think We Know You, Can’t Handle This, and All Eyes on Me (I know it’s not technically the “finale” of Inside, but it feels equally climactic). So much talent and I love watching the performances one after the other because you can feel how much his talent compounds over time.
Definitely watch the entire special. It feels less like a Comedy Special and more like a profound Art Film
I'm so glad I found this today. Wow. This is the perfect wormhole to get sucked into.
"It's like he's in his house man"
yeah Bo is awesome like that, he propped the whole stage to look like his home. crazy.
I would love to see your reaction to Bo’s “Can’t handle this-Kanye rant” because it’s basically the precursor to this - the final song of his performance before the quit that five years ago. Lots of layers in that one
In "Can't Handle This" Bo explains that he both fears and needs his audience. He is a performer at heart, so not being able to do it is taxing for his mentality (although same could be said for doing it). This song kind of reflects that, where his desire to perform manifests as a phantom audience.
Please add Cokaa- Die Young to your list to react to. 🙏 His lyrics are deep
Thank you !
“Look Who’s Inside Again” is another song of his that shows some insight to his past experiences… love watching you cover his content though!
"Can't handle this" is the last song from "show" before this. The panic attacks he describes in this song he also speaks about in it. In this song it feels like he isn't ashamed to talk about how he feels. In "Can't handle this" it seems like he wants to tell his audience how bad everything is but also wants to make sure they will laugh the whole time because he can't bear to have anyone feel bad during one of his performances.
"Cant handle this" feels like what a lot of people with anxiety disorders will do in the first place. Allude to what is going on, while being as accommodating as possible (if you have time, if it's not too much bother) . "All eyes on me" feels like an honest statement of this is where I am deal with it.
When I heard this the first time I pictured the actual depiction of death holding his hand out to get you in the back seat of his car. This the beginning of the end. Overpowering calm
Everyone else has already told you the context of this, so I'll just say: Im new to your channel, Ive only seen a few video and youre so comforting and likable, so you definitely have a follow
Love it. Hope to see more bo burnham
Can't Handle This should be your next Bo song cuz its the last song he did live before he quit and it's kind of a companion song to this one.
