It’s Billie’s year 2019!
its her year EVERY year
@@hsalus true
Dario D'aversa I subed to u :)
or mine
no
‘GUESS IM CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF IT’ at exactly the middle of the song 2:16 GENIUSSSS
Little Inis I DIDNT EVEN NOTICE UR 200 IQ SIS
shes always so cheeky wif her songs 😌
wait that's EVERYTHING
Yh its not that smart anyone could do that
Thesniperhendog Xxx no one likes jealous people
Devastating. Finneas and Billie have said they're not making anymore like this because this wasn't well received. Such a shame cause this song is incredible.
Really?!
This is literally my favorite billie eilish song
@@pickledcucumber8693 It's definitely the most addictive one....
In fact it is my favorite
😢
Unpopular opinion: this is better than badguy.
very true
Fr
i agree
i like bad guy but wiwo is WAY better
bad guy is her worst song
Honestly, this is one of the best Billie’s song but also one of the most underrated
Vc joga avk?... N é do Brasil?
True though
I AGREE
I saw this comment said "I don't understand that song when I was older by billie eilish the lyrics don't make sense at all"
thats your opinion.
Such a beautiful and hypnotic melody
high dario d'aaversa
i know right
Yeah
I’m literally asleep right now😬😂
kzhead.info/sun/lqx8k86tn6tmdX0/bejne.html
I dont get why people hate this song, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT
Sameeeee
It might be because of the auto tune
I concur
FRFR
I wrote this poem
Billie's voice is so relaxing...
Made me sleep!
and addictive
When I was older I was a sailor On an open sea But now I'm underwater And my skin is paler Than it should ever be I'm on my back again Dreaming of a time and place Where you and I remain the best of friends Even after all this ends Can we pretend? I'm on my, I'm on my back again It seems more and more Like all we ever do is see How far it bends Before it breaks in half and then We bend it back again Guess I got caught in the middle of it Yes I've been taught, got a little of it In my blood, in my blood Memories burn like a forest fire Heavy rain turns any funeral pyre to mud In the flood When I was older I was a sailor On an open sea But now I'm underwater And my skin is paler Than it should ever be I'm watching movies back to back In black and white, I never Seen anybody do it like I do it any better Then going over you, I'm overdue for no endeavors Nobody lonely like I'm lonely and I don't know whether You'd really like it in the limelight You'd sympathize with all the bad guys I'm still a victim in my own right But I'm the villain in my own eyes When I was older I was a sailor On an open sea
Thanks!!

Olivia Ruby I posted a beautiful lyric video of this song. Check it out. You will love it i hope🤗
I have never enjoyed so much music
This song is criminally underrated
For real though!!!
I'm a 40 year old Marine Corps veteran who quiet despises current pop and rap, but I've got to give credit where credit is due, this song caught me off guard. Has a feel to it that I can't describe, but it's unique, my hats off to you Billie.
u sound just like my dad lol
An Angel in Disguise
I'm almost 42 and she's my favorite singer!
Everyone saying its auto tune...it isnt lmao. Its called a vocoder. Its used on purpose to modify the voice and make it sound more robotic
true
Ikr
I read it wrong and thought u spelt down avocader
@@MP-100 Same Ahahaahah
Avacoder sksksks😂
The auto tune is used only for effects because she’s “dead” in the song. She doesn’t need that, her voice is amazingly beautiful okay people????
cole sprouse i knowwww
@@aanyathapa5127 exactly
cole sprouse I posted a beautiful lyric video of this song. Plz watch it. You will love it i hope🤗
cole sprouse you’re right
I know I dont know why these people think she cant sing and thats the reason for the autotune she is an amazing artist...
She's such a queen. she literally don't have any bad song.
Kamu....
@@MEGANS_LAWNanyea?
This song is criminally underrated Billie Eilish is so dope. I can't stop watching this track again and again. I am sure she will be #1 soon due to 💖a u t h e n t I c v i e w s 💖
This song reminds me of a memory that was never made.
right. EXACTLy
The song is actually about remembering your past life. its too good
Same its kinda creepy
OMG WHEN THE BEGGING PART HAPPEND IT WAS LIKE THE BEGGINING OF BELLE DELPHINS INTRO FOR THE TOUR OF HER ROOM!
This song is like someone past life...so creepy and amazing
1.she came 2.she sang 3.she conquered 👑🖤 this song is so hypnotising😍
Dorian Zagorski I’m not hearing the good singing. I just hear the AutoTunes trying hard to cover up that she can NOT sing.
@Katie Kat auto tune is used to add depth and edge to a song.that is what Billie did she isn't using it to cover up her voice.if ya don't have anything nice to say, don't say it.
Dorian Zagorski yuppp
So true
Katie Kat literally watch her genius videos or her liv acoustic songs there is no auto tune and she sounds exactly like the studio version. Your opinion is wrong sweaty. Dumbass.
I'm obsessed with this song. The fact it really sounds like you're underwater, it's beautiful and so underrated. It's also dredging up the emotions from Roma, I saw it twice and it was so good.
Literally my favorite song.
(in my opinion) when I was older, come out and play, party favor, 8, lyin to ya and ilomilo are her most underrated songs
EXACTLY
Bro ilomilo is so good
thought this song and ilomilo were unreleased songs
bryan wong wiwo is unreleased
Bruh, 8 is the best!!!
Finneas is fkin insanely good at making perfect melodies every single time
Came from resident evil. It fit so perfectly. Added a whole different perspective to the mood. Absolutely nuts.
Same here I m sad the her sister is evil now
Thought it was gonna be bad but honestly it definitely hit me like a train.
@@redraider7614 yeah the reviews all say it's bad but honestly alot of times it rlly is good. I might not be a RE fan but it seems pretty good.
Same! I hope they make another season :D
@@Jo-er6tw welp this aged poorly 😊
This is such an underrated song
CobaltBort yeah it’s one of my favorites
CobalBort yea i agree also! And btw i love your picture😂
Random Person i miss the walking dead. Glad Clems at least alive still
On ur comment it says 666 omg
Ikr
Obviously Billie doesnt need autotune yall need to realize the artistic view of why she used it
J_J611 PERIOD
Billie have autotune in every song ;-; In this song, autotune is special effect!
Dude just shut the fuck up man 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 seriously bro it’s not that serious stop being a bitch Billie is fine
J_J611 Ikr Billie is always up some dope affects to make her sound aesthetic.....she's d queen:-D
Yeah I don't understand
ALMOST 4 YEARS LATER AND STILL ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITES
Same

This is billie's most underrated song, and in my opinion it's also one of billie's best!😟
Totally agreed
Wig? Flown. Acne? Cleared. Tears? In my eyes. My love and appreciation? Coming at you. Hotel? Trivago.
her voice? auto tuned. 😐
This post? Gay
TheChicas that’s the point
Lol the point of this song was to sound creepy, sooo
And there was not even that much autotune, a lot of it is voice effects 🤠
BILLIE yesss this is everything
No u
Could you listen to my remix on my channel of this song? If you do, I hope you love it!

Sorry girl, but you use my name

This is 2022 and I still listen this masterpiece. This song is so underrated, one of the best songs exists in this universe. I still remember 3 years ago when I had lowest time in my life, this song came to me. I listen it almost everyday, and somehow I felt alive. I hope Billie can realize how good this song is bcs it is
A few days ago I heard it for the first time, just when I was going through a bad time in my life... in the same way it makes me feel alive... I can't stop listening to it.
2024 here
Most underrated song ever
I NEED AN ACOUSTIC VERSION OF THIS
mono YES
yes please. i like her authentic voice better :)
I know, It's good and I like how cool it sounds But I love Bill"s voice naturally I would probably love both ♡

Her voice always puts me in some kind of mood.
Happy :) lol

HER BEST SONG UGHHH I ALWAYS COME BACK TO THIS
1:49 and 2:40 give me chills every time... one of her most underrated songs imo

I'm on my- I'm on my back again It seems more and more Like all we ever do is see How far it bends Before it breaks in half and then We bend it back again Guess I got caught in the middle of it Yes I’ve been taught, got a little of it In my blood, in my blood Memories burn like a forest fire Heavy rain turns any funeral pyre to mud In the flood When I was older I was a sailor On an open sea But now I'm underwater And my skin is paler Than it should ever be I'm watching movies back to back In black and white, I never Seen anybody do it like I do it any better Then going over you, I'm overdue for no endeavors Nobody lonely like I'm lonely and I don't know whether You'd really like it in the limelight You'd sympathize with all the bad guys I'm still a victim in my own right But I'm the villain in my own eyes When I was older I was a sailor On an open sea

Anna Blanck literally
ngl this is her bad song, so auto tuned and weird.
I agree for real! Could you listen to my remix of this song on my channel ? I would love if you could!
she never had a bad song ever ......
*I covered the song if anyone could give me opinions that'd be nice ! Especially because of my accent (I'm french) I also compose french songs*
The perfect mix of chaos and serenity in their pristine forms. Beautiful.
I'm drawn to the dark yet beautiful melodic undertones.

If you still listening this music in 2022, you're a legend.
Yur
I love everything she sings. Her lyrics are fucking incredible. When I was older is the best song she’s got out there at the moment. It’s deep no pun intended.

Holly Cat hi holly
I love how good she is
OMG SAMEEEFBGSGIHF
To all those who think she overdid the "autotune": it was to make the effect of her drowning, like the sound of your voice underwater AND IT'S MFING SICK
Lmao
I don’t understand how making it sound like her voice is drowning underwater makes a good song? I love Billie but this song is so heavily auto tuned that it is hard to listen to without thinking of every artist that over auto tunes their shit.
@@cullinmurgas6583 the first time i listened to this song i was like ughhh autotune, i hate it but after 5th time i really like it!
Oh my gosh you get it?! Gosh it seemed like eveyone hated on it without even trying to visualize it
@@avatre1002 yeah. Its sick.if you listen to it with your head underwater too...other-wordly.
This song is criminally underrated 😭 listening to this song for the first time felt so magical, my mind was blown away
shes really good at writing lyrics i can easily understand and its so deep
Oh god yes she’s such a good lyricist. I mean, “memories burn like a forest fire. Heavy rain turns any funeral pyre to mud.” These images she creates… And in her other songs as well. I think one of my all time favorite lines of hers is “taste me, these salty tears on my cheeks, that’s what a year-long headache does to you”. Or “the way I wear my noose like a necklace” I mean GIRL. She wrote this when she was like 15. What the fuck. She has so many brilliant lines for real.
Anyone Else On A Billie Eilish Marathon? 🙋🏽♀️💕
Flor Arellano 👋🏼
When am I not 😇😍
Like everyday duh
Everyday
It everyday bro
Best way to use auto-tune imho. It assists her voice by creating new layers of sound and emotion. She doesn’t rely on it. She uses it like an extra instrument to enhance the complexity, flow, variation and feeling of this song. I wish more artist would use it in this kind of way. Amazing song ❤️ Thank you, Billie.
Well stated.
agree 100%
Basically
This isn’t even auto tune, I’m pretty sure it’s a vocoder. Auto tune is only pitch correction, not just any vocal effect that gives a robotic sound.
Its not auto tune tho. It'd called a vocoder.
People calling nda trash because of auto tune and how now Billie use auto tune never heard this masterpiece. ( nda is so fcking good also)
Cant wait to hear more like this...
Me too
I also cannot wait
Currently waiting
Her best song
This song weirdly makes me feel like I had a past life
Soo true

Thanks!🙂
bless
Thanks!
im so glad you posted the lyrics. i played this song 5 times before i put headphone on and played 5 more time still couldn't understand anything being said other then "when i was older" due to the instrumentals was over bearing and that confused me. how can you talk about your self when you was older. kinda illogical.
idontwannabeyouanymore thanks
Billie is the bundle of talent
Yes she's 🤩🥰⚘🌷🏵🌹🥀🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺💯💯💯💯
I want you all to step into my shoes for a minute. Imagine yourself as a huge Billie Eilish fan (I’m sure that part is easy if you’re reading this). You’ve heard when we all fall asleep where do we go probably 100+ times. One of your favorite songs of all time is ilomilo. That was my initial intro to her and I backtracked to don’t smile at me which I’ve also listened to plenty of times, as well as standalone tracks like Lovely and No Time to Die. Spotify in 2020 says I’m in the top 1% of all listeners of Billie Eilish. 2021 rolls around and I listen to happier than ever obsessively. Such an incredible album. Now imagine all of this time as what you can see I’m a pretty fairly obsessed fanboy that I have NEVER HEARD THIS SONG. What?! I was just shuffling all Billie Eilish music when I went to bed and woke up in the middle of the night and this song is playing. I had NEVER HEARD IT and even Shazam’d it thinking, in my half asleep stupor, is this a different artist? Baffling, cause I’ve seen -so many- videos of her live performances yet somehow never encountered this song. What a haunting, chilling song. I feel ashamed a little that this somehow passed me by. Yet I feel privileged AF that I get to experience a new Billie Eilish song today, august 15 2021. I know some fans will be appalled that I JUST heard this. But true fans that read this full story and put themselves in my shoes might just shed a tear at how lucky I am to experience this gem at such an unforeseen moment.
Wow
This happened to me today! I can't believe it and I'm also "a stan" here lol I wish they would bring this song to their tour list omg fr
oddly this song was one of the first i came across. i work in film and was listening to soundtrack stuff like 'ex machina' 'blade runner 2049', 'DEVS' and 'ghost in the shell'. this came through the mix due to the lo-fi haunting vibe of the aforementioned soundtracks echoing the same vibe here... and it got me looking over at her other stuff, as i'd only ever heard 'bad guy' on the radio. COULD NOT believe these were the same performers. And OF COURSE they won the oscar for best song! I'd like more like this.
@@markdubeau6784 I was hoping her bond song would have more of a vibe like this. Obviously no time to die is good, but it doesn’t stand out from other bond songs. Something like this on the other hand would have been totally unique
When I was older, I was a sailor... On an open sea But now, I'm under water and my skin is paler... Than it should ever be I'm on my back again... Dreaming of a time and place where you and I remain the best of friends Even after all this ends... Can we pretend? I'm on my, I'm on my back again It's seeming more and more like all we ever do is see how far it bends... Before it breaks in half, and then... We bend it back again Guess I got caught in the middle of it Yes, I've been taught Got a little of it, in my blood, in my blood Memories burn like a forest fire Heavy rain turns any funeral pyre to mud... In the flood (Chorus) I'm watching movies back to back, in Black and White I never seen anybody do it like I do it any better I'm going over you; I'm overdue for new endeavors Nobody lonely like I'm lonely, and I don't know whether You'd really like it, in the Limelight? You'd sympathize with all the bad guys? I'm still a victim in my own right... But I'm a villain in my own eyes When I was older, I was a sailor...

@CruntCusher You're not dumb I don't know either😂
@CruntCusher you'll understand it more if you've watched the movie Roma, but it's in Spanish and i didn't get anything. I watched the whole movie without subtitles😂😂😂
Saw someone complaining about autotune? OKay so Billie doesn't use it, the point of this song was saying she was under water, or drowning. So autotune was used to make her sound like she was underwater, just to clarify ^^. (Also please don't start a war in the replies.)
Thats such a cool idea wow
ITS TRASH
Oh wow. Thankyou so much for that explanation. I'm not a big fan of autotune but with this song it just works so well? And now knowing that it's meant to sound like her singing underwater just makes me love it so much more coz not gonna lie I was wondering why she chose to use the Auto tune :)
J-hopieBaseline a war 😂😂😂
Rachel Lewarchick wtf she’s not hating on her
The amount of insight Billie has about the human condition is contrary to her actual age. This song makes me feel she has had a past life, and certainly knows how to convey the experience in such a beautiful way.
Maybe when she was older she was a sailor in an open sea 👀

this is insanely underrated.
*Billie:* never uses auto tune in any of her songs because her vocals are flawless and her studio versions and live acoustics sound the exact same. *Also Billie:* uses auto tune in one song to create an eerie, drowning* (as many have pointed out) sound that is meant for the movie. *Haters:* “oMg BiLLiE cAnT SiNg tHaTs wHy sHe hAs tO uSe aUtOtUnE tO sOuNd gOod”
To make an underwater singing effect*
joe a-r nah actually I think most people just think that her natural unedited voice sounds better. it’s just their preference I guess
no one said she cant sing, they just like it better without autotune (i don't)
thefaereader a lot of people have commented saying that her singing is bad and the only way to cover it up is to use autotune
oh i haven't seen any of those @@joea-r7983
i love how smooth and gentle she sounds. Its so unbelievable.
gritty shal ikr her sound is so soft
And I love your picture. Gorillaz and Billie are who I live for
I also posted a beautiful lyric video of this song. Check it out. You all will love it i hope🤗
this is one of Billie's most underrated songs, damn it's beautiful as long as no one doesn't calculate it
what
This gorgeous song has that triphop vibes. Probably the most experimental sound on Billie's songs 👍👍.
imagine the music video for this-
Do I see Corbyn?

"I'm still a victim in my own right/but I'm the villain in my own eyes." *sobs in the corner for 67 hours*
Maya same 😭😭
Should have cried for 2 more hours, for that epic gamer win
@@gansach I was gonna write that but it felt disrespectful to the beautiful art that is this fucking song
@@maya_chx I guess 67 isn't any more realistic than 69 though, still this song is awesome I literally came back to hear it after my first comment
Maya no 67 millions years
only just discovered this song and i have literally been listening to it on repeat for the last 24 hours. i love nearly all billie eilish songs but this one really hits different
Summer's about to end and I wish you guys a great new year, full of productivity, success and happiness ❤️

Sister tea me too

This song gives me chills but like in a good way yk what I mean it feels almost unreal
sorry but this is by far the best billie eilish song i'm so mad y'all didn't give it the attention it deserved
*Have you noticed that when she sings: "In the middle of it" at **2:16** is in fact in the middle of the whole fucking song???????*

Holy shiitttttt
Ilan Beker Holy cow !
A la roña 😱
《Lyric》 [Chorus] When I was older I was a sailor On an open sea But now I'm underwater And my skin is paler Than it should ever be Mhm [Verse] I'm on my back again Dreaming of a time and place Where you and I remain the best of friends Even after all this ends Can we pretend? I'm on my- I'm on my back again It's seeming more and more Like all we ever do is see How far it bends Before it breaks in half and then We bend it back again [Pre-Chorus] Guess I got caught in the middle of it Yes I've been taught, got a little of it In my blood, in my blood Memories burn like a forest fire Heavy rain turns any funeral pyre to mud In the flood [Chorus] When I was older I was a sailor On an open sea But now I'm underwater And my skin is paler Than it should ever be [Bridge] I'm watching movies back to back In black and white, I never Seen anybody do it like I do it any better Then going over you, I'm overdue for no endeavors Nobody lonely like I'm lonely and I don't know whether You'd really like it in the limelight You'd sympathize with all the bad guys I'm still a victim in my own right But I'm the villain in my own eyes, yeah [Outro] When I was older I was a sailor On an open sea
I loved this in resident evil...
Unpopular opinion: This is one of Billie's best song..

Am I weird? I discovered this through Spotify & I've been sleeping on it for days on replay, the lyrics are just so relatable to me, it's so nostalgically sad. But I've seen people saying they got scared & that it's somehow creepy, weird? Am I weird? Cause I never thought of that...
