It's mesmerizing how they sound even better live than on record. Not only does Tyler put 150% to his singing but I've never seen someone as passionate about drumming as Josh is.
I don't why either, maybe because they connect with the crowd or something
They don't sound exactly as on the albums, but it doesn't matter, they can give a really nice show, even better than a lot of artists who need to spend a lot of money to give a barely impressive show.
Ikr! This band is everything skskk
@@xavierarmendariz7155 Yep, they sound way better on live versions.
I teared up when he said "Thank you for letting me do that..." I can tell just from the look in his eyes that he genuinely meant it.
+Marshall Klein It's incredible when he does that
Marshall Klein EXACTLY AND THE CRACK ON HIS VOICE SOUNDED LIKE HE WAS ABOUT TO CRY
Mhm. I love him smmm
@@paulamorais4452 ik I felt that
i teared up when i clicked on the video :, D
why am i marathoning live performances of the saddest songs i know please help
+Gina P. same send help
Helen Samaan i feel your pain i'm so sorry
SAME
Gina P. lets all go for a ride on the feels train
Helen Samaan lets do it we'll all cry together
"Thank you so much for letting me do that" i love that
he performed this at my concert a couple days ago and i started crying and someone i had never met hugged me. the skeleton clique is amazing
oh my gosh this is great
aww
Why read this made me cry. Stupid Tyler, now I'm sensitive af |-/
k now I'm crying
+McKinley Johnson not that i wasn't before but
i wonder if josh is ever like "ah shit really addict with a pen do we have to" because i feel like this song is just so emotionally draining for the both of them... like if you've seen the video of them playing it in the UG Studios it looks like they're both on the verge of tears in that one
i was thinking that, it looks like it at 1 to 5 seconds he makes a face to almost say oh no..
literallysydd I knøw! I wøuld NEVER keep it in
Probably mentally.
id probably cry if i saw this live
Gini Hill saw them the other night in London and they did this is the medley i cried so hard i had a panic attack and security had to pull me out😂😭
Tay Bacon oh god i hope you were okay after
Gini Hill I don't know what I'd do, I already cry when I just hear this song
dun joseph I cried
I did, they did Time To Say Goodbye at the second show I saw. You wanna talk about crying...
I will never forgive myself for not being a fan when they came to my city.
I feel you, they came to my city literally like 2 weeks before I became obsessed
the most accurate sentence I have read in a while.
+Madeline Gaw i just searched about them when I heard they were in my city. so when they left, I literally just became one ugh
what suck is that i didnt think ill like it so i just didnt buy tickets but now i can see all the emotions and the tickets are sold out -_-
Madeline Gaw they came to charlotte and I am in Gastonia, that's a 15 MINUTE DRIVE BUT I DID NOT GO ;-;
MY BOY TY CAN HOLD THAT DAMN NOTE HE GOT SOME PIPES
Yea take that Adele
whats it got to do with adele.😂
Adele has good vocals so I'm saying that Tyler has good vocals too bc most ppl don't think he does
oh. yea he does
Heck yeah he does
IM WATCHING A BUNCH OF LIVE PERFORMANCES OF ADDICT WITH A PEN AND IM CRYING WHY DID I THINK THIS WAS A GOOD IDEA
SAME
HAHAHAHAHA ME RN
I find it refreshing its just your body trying to let out the held in raw emotion let yourself have time to cry it gets better, im always at lows but people around me still see me and want me here, people want you just take this time and know others know what you're going through much love from a fren I-/
why am i doing this to myself
The song is a prayer - I think I find it so compelling because it's like I'm witnessing someone open himself up to God and reach out for something more. We all long for something bigger than our fears, so I think this song really resonates with even people who don't pray or anything.
WHY DO THEIR LIVE SHOWS MAKE ME SO EMOTIONAL
Even more emotional wen ir fu ked on mdma
Its called the emotional roadshow for a reason
Jamie Thompson this wasnt ERS tho
Sami Nowak is
Sami Nowak yup especially coconut sharks in the water
I would sell my soul to see this
Kyleez Youngz I would get a paper cut on the tip of my ding dong to listen live
Kappa Chino ow. But somehow same.
Alright then
Kyleez Youngz I've already lost mine XD
It's worth it trust me
Did you know Tyler is shaking his head to avoid crying? He does it in almost every liveperformance...
franzi l :3 at 1:32 josh did it too
It's kinda "his thing" by now... He does it because he doesn't feel it natural when he sits still
he lets music run through his veins, he exudes energy..
bggc71196 doesn't he have ADHD too?
Hmm i don't know, he might as well.. But i'm not sure of it. he does those little movements to let energy out; that's what he said
*me singing* "hello w-" "ITS ME" *Looks at other person* "we haven't talked in quite some time.." *slaps the other person"
THIS ACTUALLY KEEPS HAPPENING TO ME FFS (minus the slap)
THISAWAYS HPENS TO ME I GUCONGBHATE YBEEJDJS
^ sorry I couldnt type properly cause I was crying af
Staaap making me laugh when i want to cry ok?
I do this.
"But you specialize in dying, you hear me screaming "father" And I'm lying here just crying, so wash me with your water" I love this...it's so raw and emotional and true...I can relate to crying out to God as an addict with a pen so much
light skins me too I’m not even a fan but I’m bawling my eyes out so much. I think I might become a fan. I like a lot of their songs and can’t stop listening
UG studios hits even harder than this one
Ikr they’re some of my all time favorite lyrics
It just hit me how much this song means to me and I almost started crying
all there songs hit me deep, especially kitchen sink
holding onto got me out of committing suicide kitchen sink made me realize that I have purpose. Addict with a pen made me realize God is our saviour and he will help us overcome our obstacles.
+SimplyAlex that is so cool that this song helped you so much! |-/
+annayy_h yesss stay alive friend
I can't wait to go to a Twenty One Pilots concert, then I'll the piano intro for this song, the song that saved me from depression. Just from the single "Hello" I'll start to cry because I can't believe some people from Ohio started a band called Twenty One Pilots and made a song that impacted me for the rest of my life are actually there and not just on a screen.
|-/
I love this song too - I carry the lyrics through the day, trying to stay aware of when I need living water. Sometimes when I pray I start by just singing, "Hello, we haven't talked in quite some time, I know I haven't been the best of daughters." I'm glad God has a sense of humor 😂
Oh and I should have said hello to you fren - so glad you're alive and thankful and part of the few, the proud and the emotional. |-/
singersneversleep holding onto you stopped me committing suicide
+X3GamerchicX3 |-/ Hello fren - That song is awesome. So glad you're here. Stay alive.
I just noticed Tyler and Josh are wearing matching shirts
they are similar but not watching...Josh has flowers all over his
+erinnpeterson similar enough to be matching
true
awww like bffs 💖😂
"thank you so much for letting me do that" i lost it
How are people crowd surfing like its not the type of music you crowd surf to and just listen to beautiful lyrics and cry instead
People show their support in different ways. To one, listening and crying is appropriate, to others, crowd surfing shows appreciation towards the musicians.
im pretty sure some people crowd surf bc they become too claustrophobic/hot and need to get to the front of the crowd
Lexi Fergie don't matter they are in de moment
Lexi Fergie løl! But yea its nøt the time!
Yeah, I think your right ... Usually I’d just sit here laughing because it is so out of place, but what you said makes a lot of sense, and I’m glad now that I’m aware of what happens ... I’ve never been to a live show, but it is my dream, and it would be the greatest gift ever if the Coronavirus didn’t exist💜💜💜
It doesn't matter how many likes, or comments, or views these guys have on their videos. None of it defines their talent. This band is honestly the most relatable band I've come across so far that can both deeply move me with their lyrics and still make me want to get up and dance like crazy. Not with this song though, of course haha. But seriously, I love Tyler and Josh, they've saved my life and I will always be one of their many dedicated fans. |-/
Look at now :D
lol
Even now I would still agree, they may have some crazy popular hits but they’re so much more than that, they’re just amazing all around
The 14 people that disliked this really need to sort their lives out.......
coco fish totally
I have to admit i'm a new fan but it doesn't mean i just listen to stressed out. I've discovered good music. From their old albums to their new one, all of their songs are just fantastic.
same goes to me
Same here
Yeah me too and this is my fav atm
+Sincerely Sami thanks 😊
Nothing wrong with being a new fan. We were all new fans at some point. Welcome fren! |-/
"Thank you so much for making me do that" The only one who says that, others must.
Honestly I'm really excited to see their show this year. HOWEVER, I think it's going to be ruined by the fans. They're all just fangirling and screaming. I think I'll be one of the few people that just wants to stand still and listen.
I agree, it's a ton of tweeny boppers now. But hey, I'm still proud of these guys gaining success like they've been gaining cause well, they deserve it. They're amazing and highly talented musicians!:)
Michael Holliday How is it bad? People enjoy music differently than you do, and that's something that you're going to have to expect.
***** Ya I'm still happy for them ^-^
I'm glad I'm not the only one that thinks this..geez it's annoying. But hey, like you all said it's makin them money and spreading a message farther!
***** You can't enjoy music if yo scream like a banshee.
I don't usually cry and I haven't cry for a long time but this made me cry
Is it just me or when "Thank you so much for letting me do that" does it make it sound like it's his guilty pleasure..
I feel like maybe this shows a sense of catharsis on his behalf... He's said before; he enjoys sad music. So Maybe this is his way; of adding to the sad music.... but also; adding more words to the story that he's going to continue telling for years to come. This song hits me in a place that I never knew existed. It hurts. but it's beautiful. I love it. so much -- It's one of those songs that I can just sit down and listen to, when I'm numb and it makes me feel something, and it's also one of those songs, that I can just sit down and cry to, if I really need it. When I think of Tyler and Josh, I don't think of "those guys that place Stressed Out." ..... I see them as melodic, harmonic, cathartic release of endorphins that help the world show it's true colors, no matter how messed up their true colors may be. I honestly love this band, more than I've loved any other band, because the messages behind their songs are deeper than any of us can or could imagine.... It's genuine. Most people just make records just to pump them out for the crowd... but these guys.... They stick it out... Slowly; steadily, surely.... they become one with the music they make, and they let their words be LISTENED TO rather than just gently hummed on the radio, being heard; doesn't mean anything if you don't listen to the words they say.
The pain in his voice makes me cry
In my opinion, this is their best song, best live performance, best performance in GENERAL. Way better than the recorded version, especially when he holds that "DROOOOOP" at the beginning....awesome.
*WAAAAAAAAAAAATER lol
+RACHEL DEBOE nono because he also sings "i haven't foUND A DROOOOOOOOPPP"
Those are real lyrics
As someone who grew up in a christian family, and is strugling with relationship with God and depression, this song speaks directly to my soul. I can't help but crying everytime i hear it, not just because i relate to it, but because knowing that Tyler also felt this lack of life inside of him just hurts me so bad. Tyler is one of the strongest people in the music industry, and I thank God everyday for letting him put his emotions and his soul into his music and sharing it with us.
scaled and icy colors on the screen at 4:00. not intentional i know, but it was my immediate seeing the pink, blue, and yellow lol
I always used to think he said "I haven't found a drug" because the title had addict in it. I absolutely love this song either way.
you know, people can be mean. the other day i was in class i had my earbuds in and i was listening to some twenty one pilots while doing my work. this kid (my boifran) comes over and puts one of my earbuds in his ear and listens to it and he goes, "i didn't know there was such depressing music out there, isn't this the music you cut yourself to?". i'd had it at that because he and his friends would supposedly "tease" me for being depressed and being a self harmer. so i said to him, "actually, i don't. these are the songs i listen to when i'm sad, or when i need motivation to do something. this song saved my life, but you wouldn't know because you're too busy flirting with other girls and making fun of me that you couldn't understand what i go through, and even if you did you wouldn't give a sh*t because you're a selfish d*ck that obviously doesn't want me. so you know what? we're done, i'm sick and tired of your bullsh*t so please stay out of my life. have the day you deserve." sorry this is long but i wanted to share this. btw the song that saved me was truce and addict with a pen. we don't talk anymore but he still talks crap about me but i don't give a flying frick about that prick. so uh, yeah. and also excuse my language through this whole thing...
I would have drop kicked his ass too. Being depressed and a self-harmer is nothing to make fun of. Without him knowing how many people, are depressed and not having any resources to help them through it, actually, kill themselves bc they can't get through it. There are hundreds of lives that have been lost, to comments like that. thank you for this my dood. Stay strong, and stay alive, because peace will win and fear will lose
Hello We haven't talked in quite some time I know I haven't been the best Of sons Hello I've been traveling in The desert of my mind And I Haven't found a drop Of life I haven't found a drop Of you I haven't found a drop I haven't found a drop Of water Water I try desperately to run through the sand As I hold the water In the palm of my hand Cause it's all that I have And it's all that I need and The waves of the water Mean nothing to me But I try my best And all that I can to Hold tightly onto What's left in my hand But no matter how How tightly I will strain The sand will slow me down And the water will drain I'm just being dramatic In fact, I'm only at it again As an addict with a pen Who's addicted to the wind As it blows me back and forth Mindless, spineless, and pretend Of course I'll be here again See you tomorrow But it's the end of today End of my ways As a walking denial My trial was filed as a crazy Suicidal head case But you specialize in dying You hear me screaming, "Father," And I'm lying here just crying So wash me with your water Water Hello We haven't talked in quite some time I know I haven't been the best Of sons Hello I've been traveling in The desert of my mind And I I haven't found a drop Of life I haven't found a drop Of you I haven't found a drop I haven't found a drop Of water
Nobody said thanks, so i will
Wow the spiritual meaning behind this song brings me to tears. Love these guys cannot wait for October |-/!!!
I love when they shake there heads!
im so involve with the fact of the people in the audience just getting hypnotised by the sound of the music, it just melts my heart :') |-/
lmao i think they didnt know the words
adriana raww maybe they just wanted to hear him singing instead of themselves lmaoo
I literally binge watch all the live performances of their saddest songs every day. WHY DO I MAKE MYSELF CRY LIKE THIS.
this song is so much better live
me last year: I love twenty one pilots. their new stuff is great but I prefer their older stuff. They have quite an odd genre but it's quite interesting. everyone around me: the guys who did car radio. I know them. I've never really tried to listen to their other stuff because it's weird everyone now: *singing stressed out only and pretending like they're huge fans* me: looks into the camera like I'm on the office
i think people should really listen to more than just one song before going around saying the band stinks or that they're the biggest fan
Yeah I mean I am a new addition to the Skeleton Clique.... I found their Blurryface stuff first but I love all of their Vessel and twenty øne piløts stuff as well as Regional At Best... I hate fake fans of any band though, I mean if you don't know a lot of their songs just fucking admit it
Variable Spark same. With any band i feel like you should know some of their older stuff and not just one song off their newest album
I love this comment I also very much agree I also love the "office" part
I remember my friend showed me 'Migraine' a couple years ago and I loved it, I never got into their other stuff just because I just never did. But looking back now i kinda wish i did. But i do love them now, im gonna see them in July
i swear to god they're my everything
Every song, every performance, they give you everything they have. It's more than enough to blow you away, if you are ever lucky enough to see them live. |-/
This crowd is amazing. It's like a giant family giving everyone a hug while Tyler sings your family anthem. No phones or anything. Everyone is just there for the moment. It's gorgeous.
1:40 omg tyler's voice wow this song is one of my favourites i love it so much
his eyes in the lighting is so brown and pretty i love tyler joseph i love the self titiled album i love this video amazing stuff right here its some good stuff
THAT NOTE AT 1:45 THOUGH OH MY GOSH
1:49 beat that, Adele
Skullface ikr
1:32 josh shaked his head as tyler
AGHHHH WHAT I WOULD GIVE TO SEE THIS LIVE- ID CRY SO MUCH THO
it's so good to see most people are actually enjoying the show and not only obsessed with recording it! :-)
It was a different time...not many teens owned phones with decent video cameras and/or the memory to record much...
yeah you do have a point...
I am in love with the way Tyler screams "water" for a full 15 seconds at 1:39. This is my favourite version of addict with a pen and I cannot stop watching.
Wait a minute! Josh furiously shook his head for like, a second. And Tyler shakes his head when he tries not to cry. So is Josh stopping himself from crying because this song is about Tyler and suicide?
(Sorry for the late reply) What you said at the end gets me. I think they never really tell the meaning of their lyrics because they want the lyrics to mean different things to different people, but people say that this song is about Christianity or about a son and his father being separated. To me, personally, this song means a whole bunch of different things. If you want it to be or think it’s about suicide, go ahead! No one’s stopping you.
This is one of the strongest family's and we cry together on these sad songs
Its so adorable when josh just jumps around in his drums when he says water
does Tyler ever break down inside when he is singing ?
Sometimes he does, he has cried while singing songs or cried after
yeah, while singing some songs he shakes his head a lot so he won't cry. He just gets very emotional..
+Tyler Dun During the UG studios version of "addict with a pen" he looks like he had been cryingm
+Tyler Dun there is a video of him making the motion of self harming while singing this song. its on my vine (who isnt blurryface)
+who isn't blurryface i saw the vine but what vid was it ive been searching for an hr now for it :-(
tears pls go back inside
thank you so much
it's sad how I will never hear this song live.
Currently sobbing
**looks up addict with a pen live** **starts crying before video starts**
I don't have a March 22nd in my eyes, you do! *wipes tears* I SAID I DON'T!
'thank you so much for letting me do that' i just shed a tear
I'm glad that I found these guys 2 years ago. Well I guess they found me. |-/
Wolves r shit m8
And who's your club?
+Chiko was here Huddersfield lmao to be fair you're better than us. It's a hard life being a town fan
Huddersfield Town eh, sorry to here that :-P Honestly Wolves is no better. We want our manager sacked every other game
I love twenty one pilots
This helps me when my step parents fight and when I'm alone. Thank you Tyler and Josh
the way he slams the piano at 1:53 is literal heaven
today's my birthday and I'm so damn thankful. Tyler Joseph let me teach another year. Thank You
this is so emotional. i've never cried over water before.
I love it how everyone knows all the old songs.
Ugh I would kill to be fortunate enough to go to a concert 😫
I wish they played more of their old songs
These are the kind of songs that you literally want to close your eyes just to listen to the lyrics and feel how both Tyler and Josh are genuine in their performances.
I WOUKD KILL TO SEE ADDICT WUTH A PEN LIVE
Waiter: hello would you like any drinks? Tyler: WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAADDDDDDDDDDEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRR
Aww just imagine how tyler feels singing a song he wrote in such a dark time to so many people and having them all sing along
OMG i'm crying an ocean
I was SOBBING
The deepness of this song is unreal
i would be hysterically crying if i got to be there while this was preformed live
My heart is ripped on two parts. This song is beautiful Like bird who can fly in sunrise, it so powerful Im not suprised That I might cry.
in think this was the most amazing concert i ever see.... in youtube of course...
Hands down, this is the best live performance of this song
I love this song alot (:
Damn, reading all the comments about people's hard life, their past, tyler's life and past. Everyone's saying tyler understands them, that tyler is the cure for their problems. They're "broken people".. And there's me. Loving the life, who never thought of suicide, didn't have bad thoughts and if they appeared i "cured" them by myself and as fast as i could bc i understood the meaning of life and that you shall never let dark thougths consume you. This was like the basics of life to me and i didn't need any tyler joseph to HELP me understand this through songs. And now i'm listening to TOP, loving their songs but still not feeling them with my heart as i can never trully understand tyler and his past (bc again i never had really bad moments in my life) and now i feel like i'm odd here, it feels like fandom doesn't need enjoying life people with nice past, only the ones who were suicidal and survived the same dark times as tyler...
look at all the people.. they look so stunned and its like their thinking about life. i love twenty one pilots so much.
Damn he held that note longer in the live performance than he did in the recording. Now THAT'S talent
i wish they'ed play their older songs again
TYLER MY SMOL BEAN THAT NOTE MAN WHAT WHAT
Josh is the most emotional drummer ever.
The head shake and not crying while performing makes sense to sad people who play sad songs. I believe it.
the first notes and i'm already crying
i swear the way he says “nothing” never fails to make me cry it’s so beautiful
this song is one of the saddest song ever but it's so beautiful
Just imagine the crowd! Right hand for raising up and the left hand for wiping tears..
This is why Tyler's my favourite rapper of all time. ^^
This song makes me cry.
Me too always hits hard
Love it! The best band ever. They do everything so differently, so unique; yet, mysteriously perfect. This is what makes them a stand-alone band unlike any other.
I still watch this till this day. I always go back to their concert from the LC.
I was there, and it was spectat
