Finneas is underrated as a soloist. He's still the kind of artist that does his own songs and really feels them

Can we take a moment and praise the fact that this was all shot in ONE LONG TAKE?! ♥️all of his videos are but are, but this one, at the end with the family shot… WOW! Billie, Maggie and Patrick snuck in there perfectly!

I’m sitting outside at the recovery home I’m at, smoking a cigarette, and listening to this. I’m finally sober. No more heroin. No more sleepless nights. No more battling to stay alive everyday. It’s over. I’m at peace. I missed this feeling so much

This is my favorite. His sister gets so much more attention but his solo songs are incredible. (She sings backup on some of his.. so it’s sweet. I love their relationship. Their family is inspiring).

He releases absolute gold like this, and he still says he puts Billie's career first. This man is the ULTIMATE human being

"Don't waste the time you have, waiting for time to pass" this really hits m e hard

Such a touching song. I cry every time I listen to it. I'll be 60 next year and I'm so aware of how time is passing right before my eyes. First it was watching my children grow and now my grandchildren are almost grown. I'm reminded of all the time I wasted on things that were not important in the end and I'm reminded to make the most of the time I have left with my family that means so very much to me. One of my favorite songs.

How do you know If you've done everything right? Is it the love you have at hand Or the cash you kiss at night? How do you know If it was worth it in the end? Did every second really count Or were there some you shouldn't spend On anything but anyone you love? Was this the life that you were dreaming of? A movie night, a yellow light You're slowing down and days are adding up So don't waste the time you have waiting for time to pass It's only a lifetime That's only a while It's not worth the anger you felt as a child Don't waste the time you have waiting for time to pass It's only a lifetime That's not long enough You're not gonna like it without any love So don't waste it I'm unimpressed By the people preaching pain For the sake of some small gain In the sake of someone's name I'm unprepared For my loved ones to be gone Call 'em way too often now Worry way too much about mom Don't waste the time you have waiting for time to pass It's only a lifetime That's only a while It's not worth the anger you felt as a child Don't waste the time you have waiting for time to pass It's only a lifetime That's not long enough You're not gonna like it without any love So don't waste it It's family and friends, and that's the truth The fountain doesn't give you back your youth It's staying up too late at night and laughing under kitchen lights So hard you start to cry Don't waste the time you have waiting for time to pass It's only a lifetime That's not long enough You're not gonna like it without any love So don't waste it

can we just appreciate the fact all his songs have such a deep MEANING? what a legend, thumbs up for Finneas!!!

“it’s not worth the anger you felt as a child” MAN! that hits home

He's a singer and a story teller, i love all his lyrics

His lyrics give me such comfort and healing during hard times. Keep going Finneas! You're amazing

Something so pure and genuine about his music. He's the definition of an "artist".

Man this guy deserves a Grammy for his solo work

I'm a psychotherapist treating abuse survivors, being one myself. This made me sob. Thank you.

This song is crazy 😎

FINNEAS is by far the best musician out right now. This song is the perfect example of that. One of the best songs i've ever heard !

I'm sobbing right now. I wasn't expecting the whole family to be together at the end. I'm crying so much. The meaning of this song just speaks so much to my heart, like, I really feel that. This song has a especial place in my heart, especially after this video. You gave me a new philosophy to adjust my life into. Thank you FINNEAS.

He is a real artist, he expresses his feelings and emotions into a song, and everyone can listen and feel it... Good job Finneas

' For my family ' is the most touching sentence here 😭 and his songs are always masterpiece .

I lost it with "it's not worth the anger you felt as a child". Damn, Finneas, who's gonna replace all the water in my body I'm losing for crying with your songs?

I don't know their entire history or back story, but Finneas and Billie are the by product of what love and family and talent can look like. Their little family is such a beautiful example of how a family should treat each other and live one another.

At the end, when you can see Billie smiling at him, the way he lowers his voice at the end, everything is so thoughtful with this family. ❤❤

"Don't waste the time you have, waiting for time to pass, it's only a lifetime, it's only a while, *it's not worth the anger you felst as a child* " this hit hard

I'm crying right now, and I see that I am not the only one... This is so beautiful... you did it. AGAIN!

If you need it, here are the lyrics How do you know If you've done everything right? Is it the love you have at hand Or the cash you kiss at night? How do you know If it was worth it in the end? Did every second really count Or were there some you shouldn't spend On anything but anyone you love? Was this the life that you were dreaming of? A movie night, a yellow light You're slowing down and days are adding up So don't waste the time you have waiting for time to pass It's only a lifetime That's only a while It's not worth the anger you felt as a child Don't waste the time you have waiting for time to pass It's only a lifetime That's not long enough You're not gonna like it without any love So don't waste it I'm unimpressed By the people preaching pain For the sake of some small gain In the sake of someone's name I'm unprepared For my loved ones to be gone Call 'em way too often now Worry way too much about mom Don't waste the time you have waiting for time to pass It's only a lifetime That's only a while It's not worth the anger you felt as a child Don't waste the time you have waiting for time to pass It's only a lifetime That's not long enough You're not gonna like it without any love So don't waste it It's family and friends, and that's the truth The fountain doesn't give you back your youth It's staying up too late at night and laughing under kitchen lights So hard you start to cry Don't waste the time you have waiting for time to pass It's only a lifetime That's not long enough You're not gonna like it without any love So don't waste it

It's 23-05-2023 and it's the first time I am hearing this song, A few minutes before coming across this song, I was talking to myself in the mirror of how I needed to grow past my pain and then this song played👌😊I think it's the universe sending me a confirmation...... thank you ❤ this song truly resonates with me

Why is this not the number 1 song in the US and playing on the radio everyday? Come on, this song is perfection. ❤

the fact that this whole video is one continuous shot means so much. i’m not sure if that was the intent, yet it just shows the concept of time and how valuable it is. everything follows a sequence yet comes to an end quicker than expected.

As someone who lost their dad almost 3 years ago, and I'm only 29 years old.. this song crushes me. It's really a beautiful song. THIS FAMILY MAKES ME FEEL THINGS THAT NO ARTIST HAS EVER MADE ME FEEL. "It's only a lifetime, that's not long enough"

Listening to this while I’m on a 500km roadtrip...driving alone at 2am...no other car on the road...just me listening,feeling every word of the lyrics...best cry in a long time... Finneas is really a great artist...

So wise...authentic...artistic... what a talented person.

I love this song, truly a masterpiece.

As someone who spent every day, for months, counting down the hours just hoping for time to pass before I ended up completely burned out: I can't even tell you how relatable the lyrics of this song are now I'm coming out of it. Take care of yourselves and each other, it is only a while, so don't waste too much of it on things that don't matter or that don't make you feel good, it really isn't worth it 🖤

My brother in law just had a heart transplant a couple weeks ago and listening to this song makes me realize that we never have enough time ❤️😞

The song hits hard on my heart it's so beautiful and it's so right in every word..

This is Beautiful ❤️

Fact: THIS SONG IS A MASTERPIECE

I’m sitting in my bathroom, sobbing. What a brutal, beautiful song…

Usually don't cry so easily, but this sure did it 😭 "It's only a lifetime it's not long enough, you're not gonna like it without any love" was the breaking point

I don’t get how Finneas and Billie both make great music but Finneas is underrated. We need to make this king more famous❤️

Only a Lifetime: “Don’t waste the time you have” Happier Than Ever: “So, don’t waste the time I don’t have” Gosh, I love these two siblings

the tiny way his voice chances as he says "only a life-time" tickles my brain in such a nice way 🥰

Beautiful song! With a deep meaning! My Dad and Mom are gone to Heaven now. I am forever thankful for the family time I shared with my brother, mom and dad! Enjoy the time living your life through the good and the bad.

This is so perfect. Man never made a bad song. HIS.EVERY.SONG.JUST.HITS.

I'm sitting in the library, and I definitely should be studying for my exams. I wanted to listen to some ambient music in the background so I can concentrate better.. The second I saw that Finneas published a new song, I needed to listen to it immediately. Now I'm almost sobbing here.. This song is so relatable, I've lost my dad 2 months ago and it still hurts so much. I wish I had spend more time with him and the rest of my family.

Words can't describe how this song makes me feel. It's 02:00am and I'm sifting a pool of jumbled emotions.

Just discovered him his lyrics are some of the most genuinely beautiful things I have ever heard

i cant stop listening to this song, LOVE IT!

After such a brutal year for our families, this song came in perfect time. I'm bawling my eyes out now but I'm smiling too. Thanks for sharing this beauty with us, Finneas. I'm telling you all, don't waste it.

this song really did hit me hard, the lyric is insane and i really felt the words, so beautiful and painful at once to face the truth in one song, just like heavens made it

Finneas' love and support for Billie is unmatched ... it makes me tear up sometimes. He is so underrated as vocalist but he is getting the glory he deseves for his masterful song writing. Their family is truly filled with LOVE and permeates onto the world. Kudos to their parents for modeling so well. The entire fam is so damn authentic, humble and respectful. Hands down my favorite artistic family ever.

I'm a Finneas fan now. There's something so tender and so strong about his songs, it scares me like anything and makes me want to hold on tighter to all that I have. Such a gem, you

Something about this song just grips my heart and doesn't let go. The heartwrenching lyrics combined with that gentle piano is so incredibly emotional. "Don't waste the time you have waiting for time to pass" hits a little too close to home. I can't express how much I love this song. Thank you FINNEAS for this piece of art.

Finneas is the type of artist that will be around for a long time. No gimmicks, or whispering lyrics, he's the real deal!

I keep coming back to this song. Finneas is one of the most talented song writers and solo artists I have heard. Not many people can understand his brilliance but once you do, you cannot have enough. Thank you for blessing us with your music. The world is a better place because of it.

My teenage daughter said, "you're probably his oldest fan". Haha oh well, I am 40 and happy that I discovered your music a few months ago. And I am sure, I am not that old. Thanks for the beautiful music!

This song feels a little too personal and hits home in so many aspects of it. I needed it. You’re goddamn talented, Finneas.

I am shocked that i found that finneas is billie eilish's elder brother just 5 month ago but I've been listening to his music from last 3 years.

Man, songs like this REALLY get the gears turning. Really make you think. If you're especially a person like me, someone that's tasted a lot of bitterness in life. It's really hard to try and let go of the past. And it's really coming to terms with the anger, resentment, and bitterness that's the hardest. The line "It’s not worth the anger you felt as a child." really hits home. Finn and I are the same age. I kinda envy people like him having a loving family. But, then again, it's not worth wasting your time being mad about the past. Only got one life. Got to move on. Not living in the past.

"IT'S ONLY A LIFETIME, IT'S NOT LONG ENOUGH." TRUE. SO TRUE.

What a beautiful song, and message. Such a talent, you sing what so many of us feel. Thank you and much success in your future! I'm 64 and can vouche, don't waste your time. It's precious on many levels.

3:42 His voice is warm and sweet. This song....close to home!

This is a masterpiece, one that only a genius artist like Finneas himself can make. ✨

This song sounds like the soundtrack of a movie or film that would have touched your heart and your being so deeply, it would be impossible to forget. If anyone knows of Gregory Alan Isakov, this sound reminds me of his music, it's the kind of music you should listen to at least once in your lifetime, the kind of music that makes you glad to be alive, just to be able to experience that moment.✨

I always listen to this song on repeat in October. I first heard it off the Optimist album while my grandma was undergoing heart surgery. Unfortunately, it wasn’t successful. Despite it all, this song helped me to fall asleep at night and live my life the best way I can. Cherish your loved ones guys. They won’t always be here.

Written from the heart. Love is key

One of the best songs he's ever written, really emotional

What a talented set of siblings with proud parents to encourage them both. Such a beautiful family.

The first time I heard your song was on AGT (or BGT?). The one performed by Thomas Day. Despite the handsome kid's mediocre performance, he still could not ruin such a good song. I've gone on to listen to more of your songs since then. You're not just another songwriter or singer, you're a legend. My family is sold on your music and that includes the little ones. We never get tired of listening to your songs. Love from Nigeria Keep making our hearts swell.

What a gorgeous song. You have such a soft voice, and I love it! You and Billie are both super talented. Your parents are blessed to have two singers in the family. Well done! This song is really beautiful. God bless you Finneas. Merry Christmas to you and all those you love!

Sin lugar a dudad FINNEAS merece un Grammy por este álbum, se lo tendría más que merecido 🤗🤗

I'm crying while writing this. This song just gave my inner child a goodnight kiss, and a "everything will be fine tomorrow". Thank you for this Finneas

I needed this, I've been living my life just waiting for it to pass. Each day I'm just trying to survive. Searched it up right away after listening to it on the radio......

This song is so pure and gentle I love it

one of my favorites off the album. i tear up every time i listen because the lyrics are just so relatable. you are a genius finneas i love you ❤ edit: ok i started bawling when i saw billie maggie and patrick. this is too sweet

Wow! This song is deep!

i love how he compose and tell stories

Everytime i feel numb I just come here and sob. This song is just incredible Finneas deserves so much more attention so talented and honestly the best lyrics like ever. I love you so much thank you for this ur incredible❤️

FINNEAS EU TE AMO QUE LINDO ISSO

"I'm unprepared for my loved ones to be gone..." This line hit my heart hard. I lost my Dad a year ago and am grateful I spent every chance I had to fly out and see him whenever I could and we would talk on the phone every Wednesday. When he passed travel restrictions were in place and I couldn't leave the state to attend his funeral. I don't know how many times I've picked up my phone to call him for our "just because" calls, or his birthday, or even on holidays. I never got to say goodbye. Your songs are so emotionally charged. I hope this reaches out to someone who needs to hear this message because life is too short and we never know what the next day brings.

Finneas, your songs changed my perspective on life, thank you for bringing your music to world.

Absolutely stunning - what a talent!

When I first heard that song, I was listening to the whole album while going home. The moment I heard the chorus of Only A Lifetime I stopped in the middle of the street and started crying. That period when the album was released was unbearably tough, my life was like hell, but I got through that with you, Finneas. Thank you so much for that album and this song specifically, I love you and I will never find any better words to say how much you and your music mean to me

Incredible song and voice

Such a beautiful song.

Dear Finneas,I am listening to your music for 4years now. Your music means a lot to me in my life.I felt very conected to it from the very first day of listening. At first,it was hard to explain why but then as I held myself to it for longer time and I discoverd that everything in it maked sense to me in my life,beaty of life,the sadness,the pain,how everything blended in my mind and I also realised that your music makes me happier and more thoughtfull. To this day it is giving me inspiration for my paintings and it is helping me to understand myself. Thank you Finneas for making with your music my life better. Love you.

Finneas is underrated af…

One of the most beautifully profound songs I’ve heard in my 69 years on earth.

First time hearing his voice alone...so good. Love the song

Been waiting all day for this

Who else is obsessed with this song

Just discovered this song. The last frame with his family, especially his mom, made me think of all the moments my mom went through this year with cancer, and the feeling of unpreparedness that I had while everything was going on came by while watching that picture made me tear up. what a masterpiece!

We are so thankful for this beautiful song!! Finneas, these emotions helped us through hard times when we suddenly and unexpectedly lost our father. It helped us honor his memory, experience our own feelings, and we played it during his funeral. This song felt like a gift. It will hold a special part in our hearts forever!!! Thank you!

This song is so emotional, another masterpiece

The timing couldn't be better. It's probably the best song to end a year that's been so hard and yet, a blessing.

SO BEAUTIFUL！第一次听这首歌就被吸引了，我喜欢这些能触及灵魂的词曲，MV安静而美好，让我很想跟我的家人、朋友们去某个地方共度一些美好的时光……

his songs are so meaningful and they sound beautiful too!

i love this song so much

This guy makes suchhhhh deep songs , he's an intellect , a sensationalist , a incredible artist , just how can he know the tons of different feelings we all have inside our chests !?
