Halsey | If I Can't Have Love I Want Power | Full Album Reaction

Halsey | If I Can't Have Love I Want Power | Full Album Reaction

Comments

Hi there! I'm so excited that you reacted to Halsey! I joined Patreon to watch Taylor Swift videos (which are amazing, thank you), but Halsey is so close to my heart for their song writing. Listening to these amazing artists, it's easy to see that Taylor and Halsey are so similar. Taylor is the pen queen but Halsey is a metaphor killer! I grew up with Taylor, and all of her feelings matched with what I was going through, and I love her for that. But I discovered Halsey in my 20s and they told me the truth that I did not want to hear. This album really kills me because it reveals all of the faults that you (the listener) might have. I appreciate the anxiety, depression, self-doubt impressions we get from this album that are also delivered with hard-core production. Thesis: Taylor is for us who like to feel seen, but Halsey is for us who never really left their emo phase

Michael, our tastes in shows have been consistently the same. Would you ever react to Anne with an E? ❤️❤️❤️

Lyrics like "all of this is temporary" "watch as I slip away for your sake" sound to me like they directly related to being pregnant and the way your body can sometimes feel like it doesn't belong to you.

I think Bells in Santa Fe is about pregnancy. Halsey wrote at some point about how they expected being pregnant to make them feel "complete" and like this complete bastion of womanhood and instead were met with a new perception of gender entirely.

You should check out Little Mix Meerkat manor concert

Sydne' Simmons

My top 3 favorite songs on the album are: Honey, You asked for this, and The Lighthouse. (And Girl is a Gun is a skip for me.) Just shows how subjective music is.

Steven B

it's probably because it's alot closer to doom metal, which definately isn't a genre for everyone!! i loved that song tho, the story telling in it just is *chefs kiss*

Chloe

Oh god you didn’t like the lighthouse either!? Usually you have such good taste. That’s the best song on the album

Mary Kate Doyle

yeah, that hurt</3

Joudie

I’m wounded that you didn’t like honey

Mary Kate Doyle

I love how I came just to watch this reaction and I've been too engrossed in other reactions that its now 3am and I'm only just starting this one!

Chloe

Lilith is too much of a bop to not love

Samantha

Lilith supremacy

Halsey opened for Abel on his Madness Fall Tour on 2015 to promote Beauty Behind The Madness. He also co-wrote a number of songs with her including Eyes Closed. Eagerly awaiting BBTM reaction.

Fern Silverman

ahhh i was looking forward to this reaction. from what i have read (correct me if I'm wrong) but i heard that 1121 was actually the day Halsey found out they were pregnant!! my personal faves are darling, easier than lying, lilith, honey, and Ya'aburnee!!!

Samantha

YESS i’ve been waiting on ur reaction to this one!! album of the year, yup

hannah

I literally can’t wait to watch this!! This album had me in a chokehold since its release and I’m honestly not mad about it, it‘s so good ❤️❤️

the "boys were boys" lyric in The Tradition is basically referring to how when guys act on their impulses re: unwanted sexual advances/abuse towards women its often excused as "boys will be boys" attitude and shifts the blame back onto the women, blaming them for things like them wearing "slutty" clothing, or saying she was asking for it etc. basically a fuck you to the double standards and complete lack of accountability for mens wrongdoings in society... which then turns back to the chorus of "ask for forgiveness never permission".... that its always an excuse and explained away, instead of getting consent!... its "in their blood and this is tradition"... this excuse is not a new thing...its been in favour of men for as long as we can remember. when you go back and listen to this song as a whole with this perspective in mind, every lyric is impactful since she paints the picture from the very beginning (sorry, that was a long winded analysis, but the genius of this song hits hard for me...)

fun fact: the nine inch nails guys are also very high regarded for scoring movies, they've won a couple oscars for it, which ties more into how well the music production in the iichliwp film was; they did Pixar's Soul, Gone Girl, The Social Network, basically a bunch of David Fincher films.. i think they're definitely more industrial than a "heavy" rock band which is why Halsey was able to keep her trap, pop influence and roots on a lot of the tracks
