Billie Eilish Stands Over A Friend's Bed In 'Bury A Friend' – Guess What Happens

By Trey Alston


Billie Eilish surprised the world any time if she reported her debut studio album, When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?, and unveiled its spooky cover. It looks like that creepy motif will run while in all of the songs, if the single she released on Wednesday (January 30) is any symptom. Eilish dropped the video for “Bury a Friend” and you also shouldn’t watch it without nightlight on and also a rosary around your neck.


In the visual, Eilish, with some seriously scary all-black eyes, lurks underneath the bed of a friend before standing and watching him sleep. While in the video, hands grip her face and twist her head, and she’s injected with enough needles to prepare even the bravest people squeamish.


It’s a unsettling accompaniment to the identically hellish, minimalistic song. Eilish’s unique vocal span already makes her music hit differently; the added effect of the video’s spookiness means that “Bury a Friend” will reside with you long immediately after its dark climax.


Eilish’s upcoming album comes out on March 29. It follows her debut EP, Don’t Smile At Me, that dropped in 2017. “Bury a Friend” is a bold symptom of how her album may possibly sound. Ensure you have an exorcist and priest on standby. To get more of her signature minimal fashion, listen to her contribution to Music Inspired by the Film Roma, “When I Was Older.”
