Oh he is definitely not surviving Funeral

the end of scott street literally is the sound of looking back on childhood memories knowing it's never gonna be the same again

good luck with scott street that’s all I’ll say 😭

“B*tch you’re blue?!” during funeral is the biggest mood

His reaction to “you were in a band when I was born” WAS SO REAL

troy sobbing to funeral is the realest thing i’ve seen all day

i'm so scared for Hthaze if he ever listens to Adrianne Lenker

His reaction to Scott Street and Funeral unlocked feelings I haven’t felt in a hot minute. I used to wake up so sad every day.

LESBIANS AND BISEXUALS EVERYWHERE CHEERED !!!

It's so wholesome how deeply you react to lyrics. If only everyone was that open & empathetic

smoke signals 1:35 motion sickness 7:15 funeral 12:22 demi moore 16:15 scott street 20:48 killer 27:02 georgia 30:56 chelsea 34:04 would you rather 37:03 you missed my heart 41:34 smoke signals(reprise) 46:37 it’ll all work out 47:16 motion sickness(demo) 49:24

The way "Anyway, don't be a stranger" which is a totally innocuous line in the abstract, just always brings me to tears is so incredibly masterful... like... fuck... how could you make a better song than Scott Street? It's a perfect song.

HTHAZE and Phoebe Bridgers never disappoints. Who’s ready to cry?

The entire outro of Scott Street is one of my favorite moments in music ever

found myself saying, "i fucking love this song" each time you introduced the next track for the entire video😭 an album of all time for me for sure

i’ve loved funeral for YEARS. it was my safe song because it made me feel like i wasn’t alone. the song is really so beautiful.

Troy you GOTTA do the Boygenius EP

Funeral is actually a masterpiece of a song. Was my top song on my Spotify wrapped a few years ago (421 times I don’t think I was okay) lol

“i buried a hatchet, it’s coming up lavender” is one of the most beautiful lyrics in the history of ever

Funeral is still one of the saddest songs I’ve heard. It had me straight up crying in World Market.

i actually cannot listen to funeral without bawling so you crying to it is so real actually

Stranger in the alps and punisher literally changed my life, they made me reflect on my life more than therapy. When through covid with punisher and it felt like a warm blanket but also a punch in my face. Your reactions made me relieve the first time I heard this masterpiece and for that, thank you ♥

the emotional connection i have to this album is insane. this album is my 2021, so sad yet so endearing. ghostly. This album got me through my senior year when i barely graduated and my mother was finishing chemo for cancer. Lots of stressful things. But this shit HAD ME 😅

oh no now i am crying with Troy to Funeral… again

you missed my heart is so underrated ik it’s a cover but phoebe totally transforms it. it’s so utterly devastating but beautiful. the ohio river part makes me SOB.

1:37 smoke signals 7:15 motion sickness 12:22 funeral 16:15 demi moore 20:32 scott street 26:55 killer 30:50 georgia 34:05 chelsea 37:05 would you rather 41:31 you missed my heart 46:31 smoke signals (reprise) 47:16 it’ll all work out 49:24 motion sickness (demo)

also I noticed that smoke signals annotation on genius is kinda silly lol. Yes art is open to interpretation but why were they mentioning mythology and etymology of pelicans lol. Phoebe is the type of writer to give you a situation, then use a bunch of descriptive language to paint a picture. She is comparing this lost lover looking for her to a person lost on an island throwing smoke signals in hopes of finding a saviour lol.

The use of violin in all of her songs, this album and Punisher, just strike me right in the gut. There’s so much emotion conveyed there

would you rather is actually about when her childhood house burnt down, and everyone blamed her brother 😅

Julien baker album next please. Literally any album, I think sprained ankle would have you sobbing the whole stream tho. Actually they all would.

i haven’t listened to this album since i was severely depressed a while ago. i’m literally sobbing. actually dying over how much i’ve healed since then

i was SO taken by surprise to see this upload but SO INCREDIBLY HAPPY. the cut to you sobbing on the couch with your arms crossed is so funny i almost peed. in my opinion phoebe is one of the best songwriters of our generation and i don’t think she gets enough credit. don’t get me wrong, she gets credit, but not enough. she has an effortless talent of portraying imagery for her songs through words and she always makes you feel harder than you expect in a uncomfortable but comfortable way. i love everything she’s ever put out. love your reactions - they’re always the perfect mix of humor and genuine thought/review. and your editing is always top notch. side note - i hope we have a new billie album reaction coming 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 it’s SO good dude.

TROY IVE BEEN WAITING A LONG TIME!!! THANK YOU!!!!!

Please do mitski 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

"hthaze reacts this way to every song" okay and??? He's validating the feelings I have about all the songs I like. I'm gonna keep watching. Love u hthaze

im so ready for your reaction to Scott Street… one of my favorite songs EVER

you NEED to react to Waiting Room by Phoebe Bridgers !!

hi! i don't know if you'll see this, but i just wanted to say thank you for making these videos.. they really allow me to slow down and process music with you, as well as find artists i love. i used to listen to music all the time and sing and then i kind of lost the love for it after a particularly hard year. these videos have helped me regain that joy. much love!

begging for more people to react to Djo (DECIDE specifically, I think the production would be really interesting to you) and The Amazing Devil (probably The Horror and the Wild, their genre is called lyrical alt-folk, or as one of them describe it "songs sad people listen to in train stations”)

FINALLYYYYYYYY OMG MY JAW JUST DROPPED IN THE SOUTH OF GERMANY

i love watching this man cry to sad songs

u gotta listen to phoebe's cover of "the gold" its sooooooo incredible!

Troy, you might also like Phoebe's performance of Killer with Noah and Gabby Gundersen. It's a mashup of "Killer" and their song "The Sound". I can't expresss what this song makes me feel. For me, it's similar to Chinese Satellite.

Not me checking every day for the HMHAS video. That stream had me dying of laughter!

THANK YOU FOR FINALLY LISTENING TO US AND REACTING TO THIS

The chugging of the water when the tears are welling up too quickly🤣 glad you finally get to experience this pain with us Troy🥺

Someone probably already commented this but Motion Sickness is about Ryan Adams. Such a good diss track

I need him to react to Home Vídeo by Lucy Dacus ASAP! Such a great album as well.

the way i have listened to this album so many times, seen it live, etc... but watching troy react has given me the feeling of hearing it again for the first time!!!! thanks king

Scott’s Street sounds like how it feels to reminisce on memories and childhood.

Troy immediately understanding You Missed My Heart (when most people get kinda lost at that one) is the reason he deserves every bit of his success

1:35 - smoke signals 7:14 - motion sickness 12:21 - funeral 16:05 - demi moore 20:31 - scott street 26:53 - killer 30:41 - georgia 34:03 - chelsea 37:02 - would you rather 41:29 - you missed my heart 46:27 - smoke signals (reprise) 47:14 - it’ll all work out (bonus track) 49:20 - motion sickness (demo - bonus track)

This tour WAS magical 🤩 So many instruments live

WAIT TROY you gotta react to like red flannel georgia, waiting room, the gold, summer’s end all in one video

oh i am so seated for this

stranger in the alps is actually my favorite phoebe album. i can't really put into words what it makes me feel but it's like being taken apart and pulled back together in 40 minutes. a masterpiece in my opinion

Im actually getting a tattoo dedicated to her song funeral "I always have and I always will" is what I'm getting because it's my favorite song ever

so happy you did this! ever since i saw your punisher reaction i’ve been longing to see you hear stranger in the alps

You don’t know how long I’ve waited for this moment ✊🏿😌

I would love for you to react to Julien or Lucy's solo projects too, I think you'd love those also!!!

"Coming up lavender" is referencing her favorite songwriter's song "Coming Up Roses" by Elliott Smith. And when you bury A hatchet, it means, two or more people in a fight have made peace. But she sings "I buried THE hatchet", and lavender, in the language of flowers, means distrust. So "coming up roses" would be a good thing. "coming up lavender" is not. I feel like she's finishing the song explaining there's really no closure in the relationship. And, by the way, the "growling" you hear when Bowie is mentioned is actually a sample from his song "Moss Garden", in the album "Heroes". It's actually the sound of a rocketship.

I just discovered you today on tiktok and did a video marathon and now you're here reacting to another one of my favorite albuns (the first one i watched was billie's last one) love it

I woke up to this notification and it made me so happy 😍 thank you for breaking down the production and lyrics, Troy! Made me realise some things I've never paid attention to before. I used to listen to this on repeat in 2020.

you guys get that I was looking for a video to eat to and usually, it takes me a while before I find a good one. Then I stumble on this as soon as my KZfaq opens. I'm getting Mcdonald's rn ! SO HAPPY

You and Chase Carneson are my absolute fave reactors to music because it’s always without a doubt empathetic af and you both go so deep with how the lyrics and music impact you.

omg yes I've been waiting for this for SO long

omg! watching this made me realize how much I need a reaction from you for the album all mirrors by angel olsen! would love to hear you talk about the instrumentals and production on that album.

my b if u discover and say this later in the video but i just had to comment bc it’s one of my fav lyrics, the “throwing rocks around your room” into “bleeding on your back in the glass” is saying that their relationship was a glass house that he shattered and then hurt himself and that’s why she said “i’ll be glad that i made it out, i’m sorry that it all turned out like it did”. phoebe is a GENIUS!!!!

I’ve watched the Patreon version like 20x I’m so excited to see the edited version

Been waiting for this since you listened to Punisher! Thank you, Troy🙏

YESSS FINALLY!! IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS

Funeral's gonna get him

Been waiting for this!!! You should listen to Better Oblivion Community Center with Pheobe and Connor!!

I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR SO LONG

I might need to buy the Patreon just for waiting room ngl that’s one of the best songs I’ve heard in my life

omg i’ve been waiting for you to do this album 🤭

IVE BEEN WAITINT FOR THIS ONE!!! THANK U TROYYYY

YESSSS THE REACTION IVE BEEN WAITING FOR!!!!

troy you GOTTA listen to julien's cover of motion sickness from their show at the hollywood bowl, i think you'll love it

been waiting for this reaction for a while, and it did not disappoint! i love all the added sound effects, props to the editor! (also i had the same reaction to scott street, god is that ever devastating)

i’ve been waaaaiting for this one bro

Loved this reaction (emotional) !! haven't heard this album in a while, so happy to see you reacted to it!

BRO I SCREAMED WHEN I SAW THIS iv'e been waiting so long for this !!

IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE 🗣️🗣️

troy you should do a series where you listen to past albums and EPs of artists you've already covered (kid krow conan gray, this is what it feels like gracie abrams, taylor swifts earlier albums, lana del reys earlier albums etc.)

you missed my heart always makes me sob. so underrated

i’ve been waiting for this one 🤭🤭

Troy always giving us the best intros and fire heat of content

i had this album on loop right before and right after my grandma passed back in 2020. it was september, just when everything was starting to die. there’s something poetic there but i don’t really want to point it out. i miss her. this album helped me grieve.

This might be my favourite reaction you've ever done omg

This is easily one of my favorite videos he’s done. I’ve already watched it 3 times. It’s such a comfort.

I know You Missed My Heart is a cover but damn her version is an INCREDIBLE MASTERPIECE. I’m so surprised hasn’t reacted to this album yet I’m so excited it’s amazing ❤Demi Moore? Georgia? Funeral????? LETS GOOOOOOO

Glad you mentioned Ryan Beatty! Calico is amazing. I went to see him and he’s honestly one of the only artists that somehow sound better live than the recording.

i don’t know if you do underground artists (yes ik i sound like an annoying person rn) but there’s this band called trousdale that i think you’d really like! they have an album out called out of my mind, their harmonies are insane. 🙇‍♀️🙇‍♀️

PLEASEEE react to hit me hard and soft 😭 i have been waiting since the album dropped dude

oh god I am so ready for this

watching this was so cathartic - this album was everything to me in 2017-2018 & still is. funeral is one of my all-time songs. so is scott street. so is motion sickness. this album is top to bottom perfection - the production, the vocals, the instrumentation, the LYRICS. what a debut. i loved watching your reactions because it so poignantly reminded me of what it was like to listen to this album for the first time - especially funeral. this album shatters your heart & pulls you in for a hug. it is both so specific & so universal. so glad you gave it a listen.

Watching this video I listened to Scott Street for the first time in about a year. It’s such a special song to me. I listened to it at my worst and have since then struggled to because of the things it reminds me of, but it is one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard. It describes a specific feeling that I would never be able to put into words, but Phoebe does it so well. She’s so incredible. I genuinely love this album so much.

Oh I’ve been waiting for this video for months

YES YES YES IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS AGHHHHHHH THANK YOU TROY 🫶🫶🫶
