THIS SONG IS EXACTLY HOW IVE BEEN FEELING THE PAST WEEK, or atleast how i view the song!! it's right around my anniversary of being diagnosed with type one diabetes, and every year for a few months i get really depressed around that time but it keeps getting worse every year. i often just wish i was a kid again, and how sentimental i am doesn't help with that. but ROBIN TO THE RESCUE AGAIN!!! he somehow knows what i'm feeling. :,)
hey!! I've had t1D for 14 years now and I'm turning 18 next month I like to think of it as having a backpack on yourself at all times. Some days it feels lighter, and others it feels so heavy it makes it hard to even walk or get out of bed. I know what it's like to feel like you're at war with your body, but it still is yours! It's a part of you and it gives you a unique view of life. I can't guarantee it'll get better, but it certainly becomes easier to carry. I wish you nothing but the best 💖 be strong and let robbie's songs make you feel a little better!!!
"Yeah, the kids are growing up, I feel like I'm stuck But I don't wanna catch up right now" shit the second line hit me like a ton of bricks!!!! had to stop the song and just sit with how much I feel like that for a moment
I love The Little Prince and I love Cavetown even more. I’m so exited to see them put together in the same song!! I can’t wait for this masterpiece :D (edit: this was written before it premiered btw)
"I felt so much older than the kids round the corner, but I feel so much younger now." REALLY hit home with me! I had pretty abusive parents growing up and I was forced to mask my autism, and take a big part in household duties such as, cooking, cleaning, and taking care of the kids, cause I was the eldest "girl" but I'm trans and have been going through second puberty, cut off toxic family and have stopped masking almost full time (still do at work) I was always told I was so mature for my age. and I always had so many responsibilities, that i felt so much older than my peers, but now they all have kids, careers, and own houses, and I am intimidated by how together people my age are 😳 not that I want to be settling down like that rn tho
i relate to that line a lot too!! also possibly autistic person here, and i always was so much more mature than my peers so i felt like i missed out on being a kid :( for some reason back then i didn't think i should be being childish and doing kid stuff even though i was like 7 im a teenager now so im just trying to enjoy and feel like a kid before i miss out even more glad you got out of that situation though and that you're transitioning! you rock
@@koiifsh thank you, you're so sweet!! that's great that you realized that while still in your teens. definitely take advantage of being as childish as you want to while you still live at home 😊
I love all of Cavetown's songs, but I Especially love the direction he's been taking with his music lately; it makes my brain purr. And the Lyricsss 🤌🤌
I don't know why everytime I listen to Cavetown, I feel seen and heard. Your songs make me feel validated. It has been years since I started supporting you and I still share your music to anyone who deserves it. Thank you for being there in some of my darkest days and coldest nights, Robin! I promise to support you, always ✨
LYRICS!!!! [Verse 1] I'm trying to forgive myself for things I didn't do The words I didn't say and things I didn't choose Spending everyday decomposing in my room I'm not okay, but there's nothing I can do [Verse 2] I'm trying to love the person I was when I was born Hating on a kid doesn't serve me anymore Sylvanians making stories on the floor And my mom and dad in love like it's 1994 [Chorus] Say you're comin' around I need you lately, everything's been getting me down Yeah, the kids are growing up, I feel like I'm stuck But I don't wanna catch up right now [Verse 3] I'm trying to get a better sense of what I'm worth 'Cause I've been on the fencе and in the dirt Taking it easy And I forgot I had a job and nothing evеr stops so [Chorus] Say you're comin' around I need you lately, everything's been getting me down Yeah, the kids are growing up, I feel like I'm stuck But I don't wanna catch up right now [Instrumental Break] [Chorus] Say you're comin' around I need you lately, everything's been getting me down I broke a glass on the floor, it was the last straw It's like I woke up on the wrong side of town [Chorus] Say you're comin' around I need you lately, everything's been getting me down I felt so much older than the kids 'round the corner But I feel so much younger now [Outro] Overtook the months, slow back down Put a child in a daisy crown
1. What a BEAUTIFUL cinematography, scenarios and animations! 2. I relate to the song in a personal level (and almost every other song for Robbie)cause I've been feeling like this the past couple months,but Cavetown's music is a constan that always gives me comfort in my down moments,the lyrics are juts amazing ♡ 3. The experience to trying to love the person that you were before being yourself is always hard,but it's really important and Robbie portraits that magnificently and also experience of growing up while feeling different from the other kids . 4. I'm sending tons of love from here to all people that was involved in the making of this wholesome song and all fans that like me enjoy the great job that this guy made!! ❤️🍋
This song is so relatable, I was diagnosed with special needs when i was kid and i also have a heart disease, sometimes i think to myself "when will i ever be a normal teenager?"
Have you listened to 16/4/16(Jack's song)? 50/50 chance to make you happy or sad in this situation But I'm very sorry that happened, I'm sure she's proud of you
Honestly I've never had a crush on anyone with any sort of fame but you capture this wholesome nostalgia and I want you to know I'll be playing your music at my funeral.
I'm somebody who has started heavily questioning their gender and Cavetown's music has been helping me so much I can't even describe it. The lyrics about trying to love the person you were when you were born hit me hard because I feel so conflicted about accepting this new strange world of the other gender or trying to be the person I've always been my whole life. It's brutal and difficult to deal with but I'm starting to lean on the side of accepting and exploring my new self. Thank you Cavetown for creating the soundtrack to this strange and difficult chapter of my life. I cannot thank you enough.
I'm so proud of how far you've come. I transitioned when I was in college. so 2016?? As a trans dude myself, I, no, WE, welcome you with open hearts and warm smiles.❤🧡💛💚💙💜
damn the premiere is already amazing i can't immagine how amazing will be the song. You are an inspiration Robin! keep going🖤 Edit: here me listening to the song, i even downloaded it so i can listen to it whenever i want, i already knew it that it would be amazing, see i told u all 😉 idk how but u just described me with this song, your voice is literally a gift, its really soft and comforting! have a great day robin :)
The lyrics have literally been my life for months now. My mental health has been really struggling, but everytime you post a new song it gives me a new reason to keep going :) Thank you for everything you do robbie.
This was everything I loved about "grocery store" but better! I just love the new sound he's going with because it shows that he's not trying to follow trends. I also didn't think a song could sound so delicate yet hit so hard at the same time. 🔥
a reminder to everyone: you are completely worthy of love, affection, and deserving of happiness! forgive yourself for mistakes and make sure you appreciate the body and mind you have. i love each and every one of you
I can't even describe it but for some reason I find your voice so comforting, it sounds so soft in this song too aaaa thank you for blessing us with this, Robbie 💕
tengo ya 3 años escuchando a robbie y solo puedo decir que no me arrepiento de haberlo seguido gracias a los animatic de lemon boy y this is home, sus letras y el soundtrack son literalmente una obra de arte, el es el arte en sí, puedo decir de manera orgullosa que soy seguidor de su música, si me piden que recomiende a alguien definitivamente sería el, no puedo describir la felicidad que siento cada que saca una canción nueva
I’ve been telling my mom about cavetown for a while now but never actually showed her his songs. I showed her this song and she loved it. She added the song to her playlist and she plays it in the car all the time now. :) Edit- I don't listen to cavetown anymore
Robbie you have no idea how much your songs have helped me. This is the 2nd time you're helping me through a hard time (losing a loved one) just through your songs. Thank you for helping me come to terms with the big changes I go through. Love you lots.
I never know if he reads any of these, but if you happen to come across this, just know that your music truly speaks to me. This song was on my Toby Fox pandora and it spoke to me in a way that really got me choked up. Keep it up because not only the people here, but all of the world needs more of this to balance all the horrid things in our lives. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I usually never look at the artist of songs but then I realized I listen to multiple songs of cavetown and now I can finally answer the question who is my favorite artist
I can’t be here for the premier, but I’m perfectly content to just re-listen to this 18 second trailer on loop Kinda sad… but still hype, and we all know it’s gonna be awesome!
This is going to make my week I just know it, Cavetown's music never fails to comfort me and keep me going so I'm super exited for the drop. Edit: it definitely has made my week so much better, I love Robbie’s voice it’s so comforting and let me just add his hair is so cute 🥰
CURRENTLY WATCHING THIS IN SCHOOL LUNCH love it so much the wait is so worth it! Will play it on repeat until Worm food comes out. I’ll have something to look forward to all month! :)
This song was released just on perfect time when I don’t feel okay and tryna find a new song to listen and relate to. Cavetown saves me exactly. 🙁 This song is 101% perfect, won’t say anything otherwise.
Been really down recently and this is the perfect time for a new cavetown song and album. Thank you Robbie for being there for all of us when we need it! Your music has saved me, as well as so many others. Much love to you ♡
damn, robbie is so fucking good looking :( also, " i felt so much older than the kids 'round the corner, but i feel so much younger now" hits close to home, too close 🌾
Cavetown music always came at the right time the right moment. It almost like he knows what is going on in my life. I relate a lot with every music u make on their release and like, It help me get through stuff
first of all, everything about this music video is so pretty and nostalgic for me. i love the moss/lichen and all the flora, it's all lovely and wonderful and i truly cannot articulate how much i love it. also, secondly, how is it that every time u release a new song it perfectly incapsulates everything i'm feeling and thinking about in that moment? is it just the 20s experience? maybe. either way it's always super on point and i deeply appreciate it. hope ur doing well :) p.s. the glowbat hoodie is the comfiest thing ever and i love it sm ☺🦇☺
noticing that the mv was inspired by the book the little prince made me love this song even more and i didn’t even know it was possible to love this song even more
this is one of the best songs i've heard this year. The lyrics are amazing, the beat too and everything fits perfectly. Thank you for always being amazing and being my safe haven, rob♥️ AND I'M SO HAPPY FOR A NEW ÁLBUM!!! will be my reason to stay alive for a long time
Robbie's songs are like sitting and watching the sun set with a nice cup of tea, or like snuggling with your s/o in a big blanket. Have a good day/night! :D
Today I went to university for the first time :) I did feel like I want to be young again at the begging, but arriving there and seeing everything made me so excited! And wrapping up the day with Cavetown was amazing ❤️
I cannot explain my love for all of Cavetown's songs. They all just make me feel instantly better about myself. It's hard to have a bad day when I can pull up youtube and listen to some of the best music in the world.
I’ve been able to relate to many cavetown songs, but the lyrics to this one… it’s uncanny how much I can relate to this. The past few days I just- The lyrics “say your coming around, I need you lately, everything’s been getting me down” and “I’m trying to forgive myself for things I didn’t do, for words I didn’t say and things I didn’t choose” is exactly how I’m feeling
