Hi friends, welcome back to the channel!
It's been a while since I reacted to Niki,
but she just released
a new song called "Before",
part of her new album "Nicole"
that's coming out really soon.
I've been a fan of Niki -
I think I can relate to her so much.
This is the first time I'll be watching this video,
and I hope you enjoy this reaction.
Didn't expect that!
Her voice
and her ability to story-tell.
That shot was cool as well.
Everyone was actually frozen there.
No video editing effects,
just getting everyone there frozen.
The color of this piece is very nostalgic.
On top of that, they've filmed it in a
five by four format.
I think four by five?
That was a beautiful transition onto the bed.
Oh,
oh.
These lyrics
Oh, so painful.
Hmm.
It's a song about missing your past and missing
the good times
This is the part of the video
where she starts feeling isolated.
If you notice, the camera sort of just, like,
focuses on her being apart from him.
It's
crazy because, like,
the emotional build up
seems to just keep compounding
because of that driving beat.
It hasn't really given us the chance
to sort of absorb what's happened
Hmm.
I wonder if she's going to be filled with regret?
And that's the end.
The melody is so beautiful,
and it just keeps building,
and you forever feel this driving force
that sort of keeps you holding your breath
like something explosive is about to happen.
But it doesn't really. It just ends that way.
She symbolizes a relationship
and how it
escalates, the emotions sort of escalate,
and then when it does end,
when that relationship does get to a point
where they can't go back,
all you have is your memories from before.
Oh, that was beautiful.
Alright, thanks for hanging out with me.
If you enjoyed that music video reaction,
you might want to check out my reaction
to Niki's split right over there.
That one was so relatable.
If you haven't seen it, I do recommend it.
And until next time, I'll catch you guys around.
