00:00Hello, this is eSoup aka SpecificSoup. Today I'm reacting to Glum by Hayley Williams,
00:08the official video. Um, this is one of a few new songs by her. I think there might be a new
00:14album. I haven't heard very much recent Hayley Williams, but I've heard like a little bit.
00:21She was featured on this song with Moses Sumney that I heard. I've heard some stuff,
00:26I've heard some things from like a remix album for- I think that was actually Paramore. Like a
00:32remix album of recent Paramore. But like, I- there's something else recent by her that I
00:38think I've heard, but nothing off of this newest album. I'm pretty sure. So I don't really know
00:44what the vibe of this is going to be like because her current stuff, I think, is very different from
00:51the kind of thing she was doing in Paramore. And what Paramore is doing right now is also very
00:56different from, you know, how Paramore used to be. So I am not really clear on what she sounds
01:05like right now, like at all. So this- this could be anything. Like, I really don't know what this is
01:09going to be like. Um, I'm going to file this under another song that my girlfriend suggested I react to
01:15because she was telling me I should do one of the new Paramore songs. So I'm excited and I'm going to get
01:21right into it.
01:30Okay.
01:32In the wake of your sunshine, I've never felt so blown.
01:41I didn't expect her voice to sound like this. See, I haven't been paying attention to new stuff, so I
01:46didn't know. She's doing things with her voice that are totally different from, like,
01:52at least what she used to do. This could be, like, just totally run of the mill. Like, oh yeah,
01:57Hayley Williams has been doing this for a while and I just wouldn't know. But my reference point
02:02of, like, old Paramore, I'm like, who is the singer? It couldn't be her. Let me go back.
02:15I like her yellow hair.
02:35I like her yellow hair. Ooh.
02:44I love this.
02:50Okay, this vocal sounds more like what I'm familiar with her doing.
03:05This is lovely. I also like the vibes of her walking through, like, an old house that they're
03:26currently, like, painting and renovating that just gives- adds a good, like, atmospheric thing to this.
03:35Like, her vocals here.
03:40I don't know why- it kinda reminds me of Fiona Apple. I feel like maybe I'm, like, lumping two things together just because of the
03:42I don't know why it kind of reminds me of Fiona Apple.
04:05I feel like maybe I'm like lumping two things together just because they're like vaguely
04:11similar sounds, but my brain is going like, Fiona Apple, Fiona Apple, like, you know what
04:16I mean?
04:17Like, it might not be that close of a connection, but that's just what this song has me thinking.
04:27Especially her vocal on that part.
04:41Yeah, it's not that much like Fiona Apple, I think just like when she did a different
04:47vocal tone for a second there, it reminded me of her, but the rest of the song, maybe not
04:53so much.
04:54Do you ever feel so alone?
04:58She didn't blow, no one would know.
05:00And wouldn't get in the ground and nobody saw, that you wanna go back to wherever we're from.
05:14I don't know if I'll ever know what in the living fuck I'm doing here.
05:36Does anyone know if this is normal?
05:42It's so normal.
05:43I wonder, I wonder, I wonder...
05:49Do you ever feel so alone?
05:52Oh, I love this.
05:53Do you ever feel so alone?
05:55Do you ever feel, no one would know?
05:57I love her outfits in this.
06:22I wonder how she did her voice like that.
06:24If it's just like her singing.
06:27Or if there's also any vocal processing involved.
06:31But either way I really like that.
06:34I apologize.
06:35I let my camera die.
06:37And I don't have the charger directly with me right now.
06:40Because all I have to do is a short wrap up.
06:43I'm just going to continue with just the audio here.
06:46So I apologize for the rest of this video just being audio.
06:51I just wanted to say I'm really excited to hear more of what Hayley Williams has been doing recently.
06:56I was so surprised by her different like vocal qualities in parts of the song.
07:01Like in the verses.
07:03It's a really interesting sound.
07:05The song just has a nice you know thoughtful vibe.
07:10And like she's asking a very real question of like I'm almost 37.
07:15I don't know what I'm doing with my life.
07:17Is this normal?
07:18And I was just like yeah it's totally normal.
07:20I mean I'm younger.
07:21But like I'm in my 30s.
07:22So I think people my age and people older and people younger are like all asking the question.
07:28Thinking they should know like what they're doing or the trajectory of their life.
07:32But a lot of people just like you don't ever really feel like you've figured that out.
07:36But that's that's such a real feeling.
07:39Please comment.
