Episode 8: Billie Eilish

By: Billie Eilish, Phil Griffin

Narrated by: Billie Eilish, Phil Griffin

"Other people's joy really makes me light up. I would hope that I'm their voice if they need one.”

Billie Eilish, the Grammy-winning minimalist chanteuse, challenges the very idea of origin. In her art and identity, she rejects the very idea that who she was yesterday is who she has to be tomorrow.

Inspiring

I’ve been a fan of billie since I was around 13, i’m 16 now. Even though she doesn’t know I exist it’s amazing on watching her grow as a person.

Audacious Eilish

Billie is amazingly self-aware and shares with us intimately, even at the risk of perhaps sounding at times contradictory [Walt Whitman "Do I contradict myself? Very well, then I contradict myself. I am large, I contain multitudes]. My point is that Billie doesn't have any need to make her sharing smooth and polished. I am 68, and Billie's depth and intelligence and maturity - wisdom -astound me. It's a terrific origin story. And the acoustic versions of "Happier Than Ever" and "Halley's Comet" are, I believe, the best of both songs, and I wished they could be accessible for public consumption [Perhaps they are now in this "audible original" format] Billie is indeed - I believe - a gifted singer and songwriter. Thank you for including Billie in these "Episodes".

Love you Billie

I'm so looking forward to seeing her live Dec 13. Thank you Billie Eilish

This made me cry so much. I have so much love for her. She saved me.

Billie is so honest and raw making her relatable to every age group

Billie is so wise beyond her years. She speaks like a person who has lived, loved and felt intense emotions way beyond her 20 years. She speaks with honesty and integrity making her a great role model!
