So fun to watch new clique members being born 🤗 not everyone is touched so deeply by their music, so those of us who do really gravitate towards each other. It’s quite a Ride—enjoy it!!
Yay!!! Vessel my most beloved!!! "Ode To Sleep" is one of my favorite songs of all time, so you know I pressed play at record speed. It still boggles my mind that Tyler basically took two separate songs, representing night and day, and turned it into one seemless piece of art that works so beautifully together; That's the mark of true artist, if you ask me. And as always, you guys have such amazing insight to add, and I love it! Also: This video is notorious for getting blocked, so I'm really happy you were still able to make it work!
Some fun facts for you: The hoodie Tyler is wearing has been a regular part of the band's wardrobe for a long time, and is where the name for the Skeleton Clique came from. And the name for the song apparently came from fans throwing name ideas into a hat during one of their early concerts. We've been a huge part of their story pretty much from the beginning: "We're Twenty One Pilots, and so are you!"
I am so excited for you to hear the rest of this album, and I just know you are definitely not ready! 😁
The first part of it was one of the first times they played outside of Ohio - Tyler thought they needed to put on costumes so people would remember them - Josh picked the guerrilla suit but it was too hot so that didnt stay - but the skeleton Tyler chose still remains
It's SO fun to see you two become obsessed with these two like we are!!! It's comforting to me to see others love them like i do because my family rolls their eyes when I bring them up and say I'm too obsessed. But watching reactors fall for them like I have helps me to know I'm not "obsessed" with them unfoundedly ( if thats even a word) that there is GOOD reason for my adoration for these two. They're just soooo damn good.....so relatable and amazing humans in general! Great reaction as always. This is such a fun ride😉😉😉🤪❤️|-/
The metaphor of fire is a recurring theme throughout their music, and there's a duality to it. Sometimes it represents destruction, other times it's a positive thing like you describe. In most cases you could insert either one and get 2 different meanings out of the same verse!
Vessel is a clean second favorite album of theirs, but im very excited for yall to get to Trench. The songs are less emotionally devastating (for the most part), but are masterfully constructed and layered. Definitely them at their prime.
Let's goooo, we're in Vessel territory now! So excited for you to hear this whole album.
I became a fan since 2014 and 'Ode to Sleep' is my most favorite in their discography (until that certain song from Breach). This song just speaks to my soul in a way I can't really explain why, I just know it's my favorite.
Can't wait for the rest of the journey. I already know it, you will LOVE this album ❤️
Ryan your uncontainable excitement, esp at the beginning, is TANGIBLE! 😂 Thank you for allowing us in to experience this one for this first time again. 🫶 Chipmunk Tyler and several unexpected key changes was also hilarious 💀🤣
Mark (Reel Bear Media) is the narrator in this one, he is their videographer and creative director, has been around since the beginning, and is the unofficial 3rd pilot. We love Mark.
Cold / darkness / nighttime vs. warmth / sunlight / morning is a continuous theme. There will be many many more callback references throughout the rest of their discography. They grow in their abilities and as humans, they try new things, but they don't change who they are. This album and their most recent album Breach are both tied for my favorites (15 yrs apart).
You ARE a member of the band - Tyler says "We are Twenty One Pilots and so are you". I've been to three of their concerts. Each one was different, and each one was unforgettable. Cheers from Poland 😊
