What did I mean young dreams? I meant young memories. It makes sense though. I remember there was blues clues on an orange VHS. And before then, holding a baby chick in Puerto Rico. Except I didn’t know anything about puerto rico, much less what a panicked chick sounded like
An interpertation of whats happening, based on personal experince. Rather than a lore to explain and add it together, this I see now why that can make the unexplaniable more intersting when seeing it as it is, rather than explaining what isn't there.
Back, when I was just a boy Back, back, when I was just a boy Nothing was better, than a pat on the back Used to stay up till 5 in the morning They used to call me jack But that was all back, when I was just a boy Back, when I was just a boy Nothing was better than a bird in my hand Used to know the locals (oh hi!) And the lay, of the land
0:55 this part gives me such a nostaligic feeling that I seriously can not explain. especially when the camera focuses into the distance like please say it's not me
It looks like a place you see on a road trip you take every once in awhile and wonder who lives there and what their story is but never reaching it just seeing it from a distance
I'd like to imagine Jacks closet is just completely full of his little claymation dudes just hanging out ready to scare the shit out of anyone who opens it lol
Back When I was just a boy (Hahahahaha) Back (Back!) When I was just a boy Nothing was better Than a pat on the back I used to stay up til 5 in the morning They used to call me Jack But that was all Back When I was just a boy Back When I was just a boy Nothing was better Than a bird in the hand Used to know the locals “Oh, hi!” “Hello!” And the lay Of the land
Bãçk BÆĆk BÅCK Back. When I was just a boy (HAHAHAHAH) back BACK! when I was just a boy. Nothing was better than a pat on the back! Used to stay up till 5:00 in the morning .They used to call me jack. But that was all-back when I was just a boy. Back when I was just a boy. There was nothing better than a little birdie in my hand. I used to know the locals of the lake of the land.
The experience, perception, and state of mind during childhood is indescribable. Just imagine trying to explain it to someone that was never a kid. Absolute fever dream.
I can't stop rewatching this, I don't know if it's because i can't comprehend that Jack is back, or if it's just really good. Probably a mix of the two.
The pat on the back is actually a really smart visual. "Nothing better than a pat on the back" with like, adult approval, but the hand going into the back stretches out uncomfortably... painfully? Not to mention the forest of legs, like losing your parents in a crowd... amazing.
Its also like how when lost kids look for their parents by staring at their backsides, and what clothes they were wearing, and then losing them, then the turning round bit at the end is like when you think its your parent but its actually just someone else wearing similar clothings
It's known that he records these on actual vhs tapes, but he does also overwrite the vhs tapes often with newer videos. Maybe he reclaims the clay and stuff for other models?
@@BlueCanaryNightLight well, not for selling. Jack records the videos onto a VHS tape then records the screen playing the VHS tape. so it gets that authentic vhs filter. some videos actually have artifacts of older videos in them.

Lyrics: Back when i was just a boy Back (back) when i was just a boy Nothing was a better Than a pat on the back Stay up till 5 in the morning They used to call me jack But that was all back when i was just a boy Back when i was just a boy Nothing was better Than a birdie in the hand Used to know the locals (Oh hi!) And the lay of the land.
My theory is that this is about childhood trauma and repressed memories. I think the pat on the back making an indent symbolizes the impact an abuser had on him at an early age. On top of that, he says “I used to know the locals and the lay of the land.” I think it’s a little unusual that he says “used to” here because I feel like most people still remember their hometown and neighbors when they go back to visit. This might be because the trauma he went through there has caused his brain to repress the memories, and the whole video is him trying to recount what happened so he can confront the issue. As someone who went through a lot of abuse as a kid, the whole vibe of the video and the song just feel like a perfect description of that trauma.
Meh I think the short is moreso going for a kind of aimless confusion yet whimsy of childhood. The undertones don't seem very dark, just surreal, because that's how remembering being a child can feel sometimes.
Lyrics: BACK! When I was just a boy... ( *some creepy ass witch laughter* ) BACK! (back!) When I was just a boy... Nothing was better... (than) Than a pat on the BACK!

LYRICS: BACK when I was just a boy. BACK when I was just a boy. Nothing was better than a pat on the back. Used to stay up til 5 in the morning. They used to call me JACK ...but that was BACK when I was just a boy BACK when I was just a boy. Nothing was better than a bird in the hand. We use to tell the locals- “oh hi “ up the way
Back when I was just a boy nothing was better than a pat on the back. You could stay up till five in the morning. They used to call me jack. Nothing was better than a bird hand feed. I used to tell the locals oh hi hello at the lake.
Bro, Honestly i do think it is weird and creepy in a way but so artistic and nostalgic at the same time. But his music and work isnt always creepy, sometimes its just either deep or funny. He has videos like trent the baby that are amusing. Ive never seen an artist like jack stauber to have the guts to make this amazing artistic work. He probably spent hours making this one video and i appreciate his efforts. And as a fan, i dont find this too creepy or weird at all. I stan for jack stauber.
I think it’s how his video evokes nostalgia in us and then seeing that actually non-existent nostalgia get completely torn up in pure chaos makes us feel worse about it than all the common horror movies
The hand hitting on his back is just how he used to get hit by bullies in his childhood. While the bullies saying nothing better than a pat on the back. But thats just a _Theory._
one time on twitter, the absolute madman actually posted his PO box and told people to send him their teeth, and people actually did it. i have no idea where the hair and nails come from though
Me first time watching this: Love the effort and art as always Jack, the song is well put together but it's not my favorite. Me 17th time watching this: *BACK WHEN I WAS JUST A BOYoyoᵒʸ ʳ̷̧̛̫͙̄̋̓͌̉̓̐̀̉̊͆̇͗̈́ᵒ̴̧̛̲̹̫̞͖̘̪̺͍̍̋̈́͗̿͒͗̿͋̎͘͘ͅʳ̵̢͍̜͇̘̱̙̬͚̟͈̝̜̈̈́̎̉͝ʸ̶̨̨̧͈̫̮͎̭̬̼̭̘̬̿̋̀͂̉̈́̈́͂̒̔́̇̕̚͝ʳ̵̛͇͖̲̼̟̱̜̖̩͕̈̓ᵒ̷̜̲͙̤̟͓̮̯̾͗ʸ̵̨̛͔͇̻͛̋͑̀ᵒ̴̱͙̞̬͎̣̬̮͌̿͝ʳ̴̢̢̡̱̬̺̦̪̗͈̘̋̆̔̍̑̋̊͆͂̽͑ʸ̸̧͓̱̙͓̬̗̳̣̟̠̲͈̥͑͋͜*
Is nobody else gonna talk about when the lil boy got slapped on the back. The actual result will be much different than just a yellow food coloring to Marshmellows to a person's back like damn, that back *T H I C C*
