The Tiny Desk is working from home for the foreseeable future. Introducing NPR Music's Tiny Desk (home) concerts, bringing you performances from across the country and the world. It's the same spirit - stripped-down sets, an intimate setting - just a different space.
Aug. 26, 2020 | Stephen Thompson -- It didn't take long for Billie Eilish to become one of the biggest pop stars in the world, sweep the Grammy Awards' major categories and release the latest James Bond theme. And today, at just 18, she and her brother, Finneas, have accomplished what no one has been able to do for five and a half months: perform a Tiny Desk concert in what certainly appears to be the NPR Music offices.
Of course, due to safety concerns, even the NPR Music staff can't set foot in the building that houses Bob Boilen's desk. But if you look over Eilish's shoulder, there's no mistaking the signs that she's appearing at the Tiny Desk in its present-day form: On the last day before staff began working from home, I took home the Green Bay Packers helmet that sat on the top shelf - the one Harry Styles had signed a few weeks earlier - for safe keeping. In this performance, that spot is empty.
So how the heck did they do it?
Honestly, it's best that you watch the whole video to experience the extent of the technical feat - which, in the spirit of Eilish's Saturday Night Live performance, they're willing to share with you. And thankfully, we still have our ways of photographing the desk, even if the room has fallen silent.
So settle in for a welcome jolt of Tiny Desk innovation, not to mention two of the excellent standalone singles Billie Eilish has released in the past year: "my future" and "everything i wanted." And, seriously, be sure to watch until the very end.

"my future"
"everything i wanted"

her voice is like someone running their hands through your hair
not mine lol
William Kunga HAAAAA 💀☠️ I WAS GONNA SAY sike NOT CURLY HAIR
That describes this so perfectly, dude I dont know what it is with it but when my person runs her fingers through my hair I get all tingly and cozy. Same vibes here
YES
Actually best description of her singing voice
The real unsung hero here is the production intern who had to run to kinko's and print off high def images of the NPR tiny desk and assemble it perfectly to fool us all.
YES he/she needs more recognition
@@alisha3649 lets not forget the neutral pronoun users! /They!
For real. I saw the "at home" title and saw the background and got hella confused. They did a great job recreating it
DEFINITELY, yes!
HAHAHAHAHA
here in 2024 asking for another tiny desk concert. we need this.
NEEEDDD.
❤️🩹
Them singing Everything I wanted together felt like they've shared many lives together, not only in this lifetime. So precious.
that is a beautiful way to describe it
@@theos4931 WE ARE CALLED TO REPENTANCE AND WE MUST BE BORN AGAIN!
@@theharshtruthouttheresays the book that no one has the original texts? I'll pass, thanks
Me and my sister can’t even hangout for five minutes without getting in a fight... these two impress me
My sisters and I were like that growing up. Now, in our 20’s, we’re best friends!
guess im lucky.. i cant say that im like billie and finneas but my sister and i are good friends and we hang out together all the time
Cuz y’all females
Just wait until you are grown ups, me and my brother used to fight at all the time now he's like my best friend^^.
DUAAARRRRR!
The moment she said "cardboard cutout" I scheduled a vision appointment.
like if that's a cardboard cutout then the whole freaking world could be a cardboard cutout and I wouldn't have noticed
@@JuliaBlu I KNOW RIGHT my eyesight could be terrible and I wouldn't even know
I have on glasses and I still didn't see it......that says alot
🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂 Even after she said it, I still can't see the difference.
LD M haha it looks so real, i didnt notice it until i read your comment
I like how it feels like Finneas is happy to be in the background and have his sister front and center, and works to prop her up and be a pedestal for her to reach a higher place. Good on him.
He understood the assignment lol
I mean they are not a band, so it’s normal m. He has his own career as artist.
Say
Tbh, I cannot decide whom I like more- Finneas or Billie. Each is fantastic in what they do. Nevertheless, I lean towards his side a little bit because he is the one writing songs for her and for himself. And their music sounds totally different. It's almost impossible to believe that one person wrote them all. Unmatched pair. Ever.
@@DoraSometimeshe doesnt write her songs, they write them together.
Never heard a voice sound so intimate and close mic’d when they’re actually back off the mic. Great vocal quality.
probably also soundproofing cause they're at home, that make a big difference for the noise floor. Otherwise you can't push it this hard @@louis-fq7xn
yeah just having a listen to this, what mic is that??? wonder if theres more mics we can't see, if now that little mic is amazing...
Yeah I cried on "Everything i wanted" bc it was like I heard it like they were in the same room as me, and It just got me in a speciel place in my heart💙
U87 one of the most famous mics in vocal history, plus they’re at home so they have all their studio gear, via racks, plugins etc. You’re getting the same signal chain they use on the albums. She still would have killed it on any mic at NPR
I want a whole album stripped down like this. It's so relaxing.
It's called "Unplugged" , And these are the only Bro & Sister since the Carpenters who can do it ,,,,, Is it me or are we seeing a young lady now , wow , she really has so matured ..I still think it'll be Pops big love affair between a young ladys idol within two years ,,, they'd make a great couple too ...
I need it in vinyl rigth now
And way more beautiful than the originals.
you can say that again ❤️
Hpppp
it’s crazy how her emotions translate into her voice straight up
That's the part.
Her emotions always pull at my heartstrings.
However, you don't know her emotions
Ok😂
@@Atezian I was looking at her face, which speaks a thousand words. Why did you even say it?
I'm sorry I missed this 2 years ago. A ton of respect for her and her brother's talent!
The innocence and fragility in her voice really gets me
I don't think anybody is giving her brother enough praise. Do you guys hear those lyrics. How much love he has for her based on the second song, it's so ridiculously precious.
You probably missed the night Billie won five grammys. The same night he won six.
Finneas is quite respected in his own right.
The love they have for each other and how it comes out in their music is one of the reasons I so respect and feel inspired by them. It's beautiful.
He has a chicken head
They write the songs together.
Little does she know she’s the one that makes me feel like I’m never alone
Fhsjaba Zhajaba right🥺🥺
r/Im14andthisisdeep
The voice is timeless. You could play that opening song at any point in the past 100 years and people would love it.
I honestly love watching Finneas watch Billie... such pure love and admiration!!! Incredible sibling relationship
A fact you can’t deny... You may know all the lyrics but you were too hypnotized to sing along
why is that sooo true
I'm actually singing along. Eeek.
Relatable
Frrrrrrr
Ha! Truth
As someone who has a horrible habit of singing along with EVERYTHING, Billie had me completely still and silent. Breathtaking.
i relate.
Saaaaame
Same!
Exactly
so true
I'm in my 50s and have not been into music other than stuff I grew up with. So, essentially, I haven't been interested in most music after 2000s......until Billie Eilish. The timber of her voice is amazing. Simply amazing.
58. I feel you. She is truly amazing. They both are!
I'm 58 and just started listening to her last year. I think she's truly amazing. She and her brother make such an extraordinary team. I'm fascinated by them. Such talent.
53 here. So true
I was never a fan of hers. Didn’t understand why people liked her so much. I saw a TikTok video and questioned why she is so popular. Went to Reddit to find out why and someone said to listen to this. Now I’m crying..she is truly incredible
We all need a taste to testify .... Good you had yours
@@dananyiam4651 agree. I’ve learned both of these songs plus others of hers on piano and was just playing and singing today! She has definitely left an imprint on me
I'm impressed 1. by their talent 2. cause no one's commenting about how convincing that cardboard is
Had me fooled! I was looking for this comment l
Wut!? I was convinced!
Hahahhah I was fooled
quiero esa cartulina para mi casa
insaanee cardboard
to sing so delicately with that much control is just maginificent
she's a legend...periodt I just posted "My future" by Billie Eilish Cover i would appreciate if you could check it out 💕
Her voice is like a cool breeze caressing your face on a warm summer night. .
she went from "i wanna end me" to "i love my future"
That's so you see how bad you can be and how you can recover and feel good again :3
even when there is no hope, the sun will rise again.
Prayer works 🖤
We love to see it
She is an example
my older brother just died and this song makes me cry because of the line" if I could change the way that you see yourself you wouldn't wonder why your here they don't deserve you." it reminds me of the time I was a self concious teenager and my brother in the most non creepy way said I was beautiful and special and it helped me throughout my teens . its absolutely heartbreaking to lose your brother who is older and cool and artistic and loves you and has a sensitive heart...he was what I used to call the last nice person in our family.. RIP JRW
My older brother died 4 years ago. I cried reading your comment. Go on living, he will be around you when you aren't looking. Stay up.
rest in peace, your brother sounds like a truly amazing person and he will always be by your side 🙏🏻✨
so sorry for your loss, you are strong and you can truly get through anything in this life, stay positive
Your loss was not in vain, my friend.
I'm so sorry to hear that Lilley, his positive spirit will live on in you :)
if only all siblings had this much respect and love for each other.
npr please bring back Billie and Finneas to the OG’s tiny desk
I would not have realized that was a cardboard cutout background if she hadn’t said it, lol.
me neither lol I was wondering if she had broken her quarantine ahahah
Me neither JAJAJAJA
backstreetgirl00 same
Lol got me too
I had to look at it a thousand times to really see it LOL
I didn’t know I needed a Billie Eilish live album until now
Their acoustic concert at the Steve Jobs Theater for Apple is up here at KZhead. It's about an hour with similar quality. Think of their songs as small operas.
it’s also on apple music if you have that
👍🏽👋🏽✌🏽
Sam Greenlaw that’s amazing, thank you!
I need one too, but can't afford it.

nuansa musik yang lebih sendu dalam lagunya kali ini. Ia bernyanyi dengan lembut, diiringi dentingan piano dan beat bertempo lamban. Lagu Everything I Wanted juga menjadi tribut dari Billie Eilish kepada kakak sekaligus rekannya dalam bermusik, Finneas. Berikut Insertlive sajikan lirik dan musiknya. I had a dream I got everything I wanted Not what you'd think And if I'm being honest It might have been a nightmare To anyone who might care Thought I could fly So I stepped off the golden Nobody cried Nobody even noticed I saw them standing right there Kinda thought they might care I had a dream I got everything I wanted But when I wake up, I see You with me And you say As long as I'm here No one can hurt you Don't wanna lie here But you can learn to If I could change the way that you see yourself You wouldn't wonder why here They don't deserve you I tried to scream But my head was under water They called me weak Like I'm not just somebody's daughter Coulda been a nightmare But it felt like they were right there And it feels like yesterday was a year ago But I don't wanna let anybody know 'Cause everybody wants something from me now And I don't wanna let 'em down I had a dream I got everything I wanted But when I wake up, I see You with me And you say As long as I'm here No one can hurt you Don't wanna lie here But you can learn to If I could change the way that you see yourself You wouldn't wonder why here They don't deserve you If I knew it all then, would I do it again? Would I do it again? If they knew what they said would go straight to my head What would they say instead? If I knew it all then, would I do it again? Would I do it again? If they knew what they said would go straight to my head What would they say instead?
😅😅😅😅
It's hard for me to hear ppl say she's overrated. To me she's (together with Finneas) one of one. One of my favorite artists from ocean eyes and they still do no wrong 💙
Some people like the taste of macdonalds, doesn't say anything much about the art of cuisine.
She is amazing but yes, overrated by most
Also with all the comments on how hee voice has improved na she had it right out of the gate. I remember hearing Ocean Eyes for the first time then seeing some live performances of it and I couldn't believe how hauntingly lovely this tween kids voice was. The control perfect pitch phrasing it was there from the beginning.
@@DelvisonElias a lot of pop music these days are pretty 'overrated' honestly
@@DelvisonEliasno she isn't, if you don't like an artist that's okay but saying they are overrated because they don't do your type of music is wrong
Billie's smile when she got a bit late singing "Cause it feels like yesterday was a year ago" epic
and become finneas sang it first she has to harmony so quick and it was SO good😭😭
Hope you see my name.
7:30 I keep going back to that part, her smile and spark is such an epic reaction. Billie was getting into her feels and didn't come in on time, but finneas was also into it and just singing and playing away. I love this pair and how much they convey a love of music, and love of their own music.
I am alot older than Billie and Finneas, but I love their music and their close bond. Her voice is beautiful. You do not hear voices like hers. (now everyone is singing her music. I dislike like singers trying to imitate the sound of her voice). She is a beautiful young lady inside and out. I wish them continued success. :-)
It’s like I’m listening to angels
Well possible they're actual Earth Angels and you *are* listening to Angels! :-)
The two of them together... just magic. So INCREDIBLY talented
I rewatch this just for the run on "better" in my future
Imagine giving birth to kids and they both end up creating the most beautiful harmonies for the world to hear. Insane.
Ikr
they're a cute couple 😋
gregomano 2 dude...their brother and sister..
It's cultivated. If everyone had opportunities to do their passion, then it wouldn't seem so remarkable.
@@gregomano2220 GROSS!! In case you missed it 4:40
They need to do this again. Each month. Every year. Every decade.
every day
How about every second?
Insanely talented and deep voice

From "idontwannaybeyouanymore" to "i just wanna get to know myself"
😭♥️
❤️💗💓💖🥺 honestly tho! She is amazing!!
I felt that
This is fantastic
True dat
Her voice is so beautiful, emotive, and nuanced. She exercises calculated restraint and it's just gorgeous.
she was 19 here, i find it so difficult to believe. incredibly talented
she went from “idontwannabeyouanymore” to “I’m in love with my future”
Proud of her
@@Jose-ch2ms me too
@@Jose-ch2ms me too man

Yeeees😍😍😍
i don't think people understand how insane her vocals are. she has so much control of her soft delicate voice which is very difficult. and no she dosent whisper. there is a big difference between delicately singing and whispering.
*whisper
I wouldn’t say insane 😂 but they are good . Mike Patton has insane vocals
THIS
yes you get it. So much respect for her voice control. I tried singing it and found it nearly impossible to sing it exactly like her in terms of voice control and the delicate intonations
redshift912 have you heard dimash?
That whole backdrop is amazing; it seemed like these two were really in the tiny space at npr doing a concert, when really they were just performing for themselves. I liked all of it. Here are my claps *claps*
I live in a little apartment and... I was doing something at the kitchen at that moment. Suddenly this sound came from the living room and... I just felt my whole home was enveloped by this "thing" I can't explain. I started to cry and I cried, I couldn't stop. I couldn't stop avoiding the fact I'm broken. Never heard Billie Eilish, like seriusly... I thought she was like a phenomenon media and maybe she is (who cares). The point here is, this was beautiful. I mean it.
Her voice is truly a gift. I just feel like I’m floating when she sings.
Darth Ruin dude this song is a self love anthem. Why is everyone constantly hating. She’s 18.
Gravity been real quiet since you posted this is all I’m saying... that is such a good description!!
Me too!!!
yeah it's insane
@Darth Ruin floating she said
Her voice is such a precious gift. I love that she doesn’t NEED auto tune.
Correct she has actual talent and discipline and actual ideas to sing about. Amazing artist
She doesn’t tho!! 💓
auto tune needs herrr
You do understand that her voice is still edited right? I’m not saying that as a negative thing because every single artist uses some sort of reverb on their voice.
Cillian Davoren you understand she has no auto tune or voice correcting right?
One of the dopest voices, writers, directors out. Her brother Finneas makes a great foil and must be a tremendous amount of comfort for her doing what she does.
Came for Billie’s voice, left with noticing Phin absolutely kills it… runs in the fam
billie: "obviously, this is a cardboard cutout" me: "wait what"
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Same here!
Explains it all. I was like, “wait...they bring all the records and books?!” Lol
I was thinking the same thing! I was like "how it this from home?!", then she said that and I legit thought she was lying, until a camera angle showed the flatness of it... 😮 I've been fooled!
When she said that I thought, “she must mean ‘green screen’!” Impressive
lol same
"Everything i wanted" literally hits me like a ton of bricks everytime i listen to it.

Just. Doe r/im14andthisisdeep
Lots of talented new kids out there. She still stands out. A teenager with an old Jazz soul.
I had no clue, I’ve heard her on the radio before, but this is amazing. Changed my mind watching this. Beautiful voice.
7:32 when Billie misses her entrance, then smiles at her brother holding it together with his harmony. Definitely my favorite part.
Most underrated comment! I was so moved when I noticed. That single moment encapsulated the entire sentiment of the song so perfectly.
C D yes! I thought the same!
I wouldn't miss Billie's entrance for the world
I thought they were lip synching until this moment! Too perfect
I see a lot of comments about how great Finn is and how underrated he is... he is amazing and he is recognized! He just won 5 Grammys for God’s sake! Very well-known producer!
Funny how people's views are so limited; in fact, Finn is on the top of more lists than her.
He shared 4 of 5 with his sister tho. And billie also has 5 grammys. Finn was legit underrated imo
He also produced Selena Gomez’s song
Yes he is most definitely not under-rated. He will never be as famous as Billie unless people buy and stream his solo music. If you care about that sort of thing, that is what you should do. He probably couldn't care less - his life is great as it is & he is not burden with needing security guards in his private life. He has talked about how he dislikes being called "underrated". I personally find Billie charismatic and unusual, plus she has a velvet voice and she owns the stage. I find Finneas' solo music too adult contemporary.
@@thuanhdo9597 He was nominated for a bunch of solo VMAs. If you bothered to vote and organized a bunch of other fans to vote, maybe he would have won. He couldn't have won more solo Grammys as he didn't present any solo content to them for nomination. It doesn't just magically happen. 5 Grammys is far more than almost anyone could win in their dreams. He has a fantastic reputation in the industry and is not underrated at all. He is just not as famous as Billie and never will be unless he has solo hit records. That will happen if you buy them and encourage others to. If not, he won't. Period. There is a vast difference between "underrated" and "not a superstar".
This performance just made me a fan. I don't like top 40 hits but I love a pure sound. So refreshing even a year later. I have to hear an artist like this to love them.
Billie may just have the voice of an angel, expression not exaggerated
They are such a gift. And I’m f’n 63, so not the “usual” fan. But their talent and passion is so clear.
My dad is 66, 40 years in the music industry and still pulling underground gems everyday going on Sound Cloud. Biggest fan of music I know. Age have sweet-f**-all to do with any of this.
@@jas_bataille Word. thank you for this! Props to your Pops.
Yo bill, you’ve been in KZhead since 2006? That’s pretty cool
73 and right with you re these gifts 🎁 from the universe 💞; don’t remember when I was saved by KZhead, but I had it on every waking hour for 2 days just last week! 🤩🎶💖
@@jas_bataille People have made fun of me for being a 45 year old fan. And I don't care!
Billie: "Cuz obviously this is a cardboard cut out"... Me: "oh... really?!"
yeah I didn’t even notice until she said it
Not obvious lol.
could've fooled me had she not said that
Emily Le same
It fooled me as well!
The favorite part of this performance for me is the bark at 9:15. It just make it so homemade and special. Lovely to be able to hear this in my lifetime.
Haha! I didn‘t Herr it at first!

How about no.
When do they bring in John Mayer? Regardless of his private life, he is a talented artist and deserves a space here.
Agreed
Um no one cares
The way her voice has grown literally has me crying, sis really said auto tune whats that-
Me too. So many emotions she is showing.
CAN WE TALK ABOUT HOW IT LITERALLY SOUDNS BETTER THAN THE RECORDING WHAT THE HECK
My farts are more melodic.
John M. I-
Live music should be better it's not that weird, just good mixing etc
@@TheKitchenerLeslie the sheer amount of butthole control you would need would to even emulate the melodic range of these songs would be highly unlikely
So many Tiny Desk recordings are better than the album versions. I both love and hate that fact.
All that soul and blues in her voice. My goodness I cried the whole time. 😍
She has a piano bar kinda voice. Smooth as silk.
I'm 69 and they make me cry. The only ones who ever moved me like this were The Beatles.
fun fact, she is a big fan of the Beatles and listed them as one of her influences, along with Green Day!
Nice
She sang “Yesterday” at the Oscars. Speechless! Beatles are my favorite band of all time and I teared up when I heard her.
@@annezimmermann53 she didn't know who Van Halen was, but won me over with this.
I had to stop and check for a second because as soon as I saw 69 I instantly disregarded the commenter as a troll. I am so glad you are a legitimate person! Rock on.
Tbh I never thought Billie Eilish was that special. She never stuck out to me as an artist or individual. But seeing this changed my mind. She obviously has a lot of musical talent and beautiful voice. Consider me a new fan!
Yeah same, I thought she was just another samey pop singer
I feel as if she's been working on her voice during quarantine..her voice has always been beautiful but it sounds even better I just posted "My future" by Billie Eilish Cover i would appreciate if you could check it out 💕
Check out her performance on Howard stern of you like this
Welcome! 😉
Welcome to the fandom!
There's something about Billie that touches me deeply. She brings so much emotion and depth. I am crying at the second song because I love my brother and feel the same way about our bond, it's so beautiful to see and hear. Pure love and pure talent
i have to say that i appreciate so much that we can hear a bit louder finneas’s voice bc their voices together are so pure and beautiful.Amazing performance both of them!
Can we talk about the fact that the live sounds exactly the same if not better than the studio version🥺
Talent
Talent and she doesn't use auto tune . Even she uses but just a little bit
Thats how it should be
grains de sésames yes. Some only used autotune for “when I was older” but the effect is on purpose. Her voice is like an angel ❤️
The sound here goes through edition too, and some awesome edition tbh
The vocals 🤯 this sounds like a studio recording. So clean.
Whoever is the sound engineer on NPR for Tiny Desk productions is a genius. Every tiny desk I hear sounds like the best performance from the respective artists
@@liligman ik..their the best and I'm happy they're still posting and their content is still perfect I just posted "My future" by Billie Eilish Cover i would appreciate if you could check it out 💕
@@liligman no, this is not npr's process. Npr is going for a more raw sound. This is heavily processed with clarity and much reverb
Trouzz All their other concerts have a very similar sound sonically to this...but I guess to each their own
Finneas was in charge of the sound, you can read it in the description
The soul she puts in her songs is what makes her special
I simply can't get enough of this. 5 hours on repeat and counting
Keep on obsessing
I didn't even realise the background was fake till she mentioned it 💀
Same
Same!
BRO i was about to make your comment to 100 likes then it just became 110 out of nowhere 😂sorry irrelevant
Lk I i
i was here like “billie has a setup in her home that looks just like the tiny desk concerts, wow” 😭😭😭
How tf can people say she can’t sing. This is butter in my ears...
@kmden Rt alot of people say that unfortunately
I’ll say it... she can’t sing. 🎤⬇️
@@zerotolerance9829 why do you think so?
Satire Rejects because my ears aren’t a fan and I’m still allowed to have my own opinion in this country.
@@zerotolerance9829 that's alright
I usually used to not like her at all until i heard this acustic versions...Now i'm in love with them and i come here 2 or 3 times a week to enjoy GOOD AND TALENTED artists. Her voice is the most soothing sound in the world and the way she feels every note is just mesmerizing. Much love to both of them. I hope they keep pursuing music and don't let themselves get bought by big corpo money.
I have been loving acoustic music lately. It's like a comfort blanket to me. Acousic music makes me feel safe and warm🥰
I literally don't care how mainstream Billie is, her voice is still so unique. It holds such a lovely, special quality that sounds like a dream about falling in love.
The key is not to allow others to influence what you do and do not like, regardless of whether something is popular/mainstream or not. It's so weird that there are people who hate things purely because they are popular.
Actually her music is anti mainstream anti genres anti pop, but she is a MIRACLE in that industry .. and mainstream era 🔥👏🏻
The only thing wrong with this tiny desk concert is that there are ONLY TWO songs!!!!! Argh! They’re friggin amazing😍
Ugh I wanted one more song sooo bad! But no doubt that everything was perfect! And those extra runs Billie put in there 👀
Not gonna lie I wanted one more too
There is a longer version of their performance out there
These two are all about their music and constructing their songs. They do it uniquely and so creatively. I'm 57 and I get it. This music moves me. Really all of their stuff does cause I've gone back and listened to it after hearing this tiny desk. Great job. Love it. Always stay true to your muse.
Anyone enjoying this should check out their performance of I Love You from SNL. I've watched SNL from the beginning seen alot of great musical performances this one hands down the best. They were absolute perfection.
They should ship that cardboard cutout to all of the musicians homes for every tiny desk at home concert it feels more realistic that way even though there’s no audience interaction.
I legit didn't see it was a cardboard cutout until you pointed it out
FINNEAS DOING THE BACKING VOCALS FOR MY FUTURE HAS ME I LOVE THIS SO MUCH
Right??? Like no one is talking about how good they are.
Their voices compliment e/o so much I would love to hear them sing a song together
I wish I had that someone in my life, romantic or not, that had this type of love. I love this so much because it makes me feel like there's more for all of us out there.
Listen...i cannot hate on this young girls vocal ability. The riffs are crazy yet smooth.
What are you talking about? I genuinely do not see anything special about this chick. There were five girls like her in my high school talent show every year.
Jack Rosenthal i’m sorry but that is not correct
Yeah,the vocals are very soft and lilting.They just float and fly so easily
@@radhamuthurajini1965 listen to the whole thing!!!
But like are u dumb or do you have a problem to hate on her for having fun and doing her job🤷🏿♂️
Am I the only one devastated that this is only 10 minutes long? I want an hour of just listening to Finneas and Billie's angelic voices on loop!!
oh girl don’t worry- search for all the concerts/songs they’ve done virtually!!! there’s a definitely quite a few where they’re both singing just like this one :)
IKKKKRR!!!
lol
Love that song I'm an R&B girl myself my grandchildren is reduced me to her and that's my favorite
whether they realize it or not.. they are a fantastic jazz duet!!
The background of this tiny desk "home" concert threw me through a loop lol
you got eyes bro
hahaha me too
is it fake 😑😂😂
She actually commented on it, too! Sweet ;) shouldve known...she's like the epitome of genuine and sincere, so yeah
@@samanthablanchard893 amazingly yes! they just told they made it from cardboard... :o
I feel that her voice glows the most when singing this song
fr. it’s soft and requires amazing control. it’s very “billie” like
yeah I feel like it's the truest to her and finneas's musical souls and her best yet. so excited to see what she comes out with after this
She sang two, which one?
the first one! I found it so obvious when I wrote the comment because it is the last one she released hehe
Billie and Finneas are a treasure.
Not a huge fan of her genre but I'm a huge fan of her voice, she's sensational, she sounds incredible always. Appreciate her talent even if its not my first choice, good for you Billie
if she didn't say that the background was a big piece of cardboard, i wouldn't noticed it xD
I feel so lied to now
same, except it was you that brought it to my attention.
SAME
@@rjpretzel I
I came to the comments to see if anyone else noticed and at that exact moment she said “obviously it’s a cardboard cutout” and I was like oh sweet there’s my answer 😂
their relationship as siblings is immaculate
Dude Finneas is the _MAN_
Yess so true!! I posted a cover of My Future if anyone wants to give it a listen! I’d really appreciate it!❤️
300th like 😌💅
Wait that guy is Billie's brother?
@@user-gn1bq7zq9t yes he writes with and produces for her
I am gobsmacked by her voice, this music. Just swept away into a little peaceful moment.
Am I the only one really mesmerized when he starts to play the guitar at 1:06?
