Stop What You're Doing, And Listen To Billie Eilish's New Album

In case you aren't caught up on new music entering the world, Billie Eilish's album, "WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP, WHERE DO WE GO?" just recently dropped on March 29. Now, if you're a fan of Billie Eilish, (like myself) you probably have already listened to the whole album a hundred times. However, if you haven't yet, now is your time.

For those of you that might not be familiar with Billie Eilish, she is an American singer and songwriter. Her music falls under the alternative genre, and she is most known from her song, "Ocean Eyes". At only 17 years old, she has released an EP, wrote songs for Netflix's "13 Reasons Why" and "Roma", collaborated with Khalid, and now, released her debut album.

"WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP, WHERE DO WE GO?" is an album you must listen to in order, and all at once. The listening experience is truly enhanced when you start at track one, "!!!!!!!" and end on track 14, "goodbye".

It is also important that you listen to Billie's album with headphones. There are various sounds throughout her songs that you don't realize when playing it out loud. When you listen with headphones, you hear all the little details and sounds you may otherwise miss.

This album is special to me because the music Billie puts out is so different from other music. She has a balance of upbeat and slower songs. I typically prefer pop music that is fast and upbeat, but I actually enjoy Billie's slower songs. It is in these songs that her vocals shine the most.

There are 14 tracks on this album, and I want to shoutout some of my favorites. Before I mention my favorites songs, I want to say that I truly enjoy listening to every one of Billie's tracks. After multiple listens of the full album, I have developed a love for each song.

When I first heard the beat of "bad guy", I immediately fell in love with it. This song is very bass-heavy and fits my style of upbeat songs. This song follows her intro clip, "!!!!!!!" and opens the album with high expectations for the rest of the tracks.

The next song I absolutely love is "when the party's over". This song was first released as a single on October 17, 2018, and is now song number seven on her album. This is one of the slower tracks where her voice truly makes the song. It is beautiful and has a stripped down sound so you can really appreciate her voice.

"my strange addiction" is a song for all "The Office" fans out there. This track features multiple audio clips from episode 17 of season seven of "The Office", which is when Michael shows his movie, "Threat Level: Midnight" to his coworkers. This song follows a faster tempo and is made for everybody that has a "strange addiction" to Steve Carrell.

I have to mention "ilomilo" because this song sounds amazing when you have headphones in. You can hear all the little sounds and vocal effects that make for a track that you've never heard before. The lyrics focus on the fear of separation which was inspired by the story of the puzzle game called "ilomilo". I also love that the end of the song "bury a friend" leads into this computer game sounding track.

Last, but definitely not least, is "i love you". This is the longest song on the album, but I can promise it is a must-listen. If this song doesn't hit your emotions, you're not listening to it correctly. The soft acoustic sound makes for a very calming track that will leave you in awe of Billie's voice and songwriting skills.

If you're not fully convinced yet, I recommend watching my friend, Hunter, listen to Billie's new album. He made a YouTube video on his first reactions to each track and gives some of his favorite songs as well.

This album is already one of my favorite releases of 2019, and I highly recommend you listen to it (you can thank me later).

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
