its a random night, in november 2020, and here I am, 18 years old, crying over the fact that i am indeed, just a kid. crying over stuff that wont matter in a few months, let alone the rest of my life. but i cant help but feel soso empty and lost. this song just, awakens such a deep feeling in me, i just want to cry for hours.
i have come to a realization that there are so many underrated, yet talented bands and musicians out there, who are just simply making PURE MUSIC, not for a grammy, not for fame but simply creating real art. I love them with my whole heart
@@ItsZareh hey there! im sorry idk if you were expecting an answer from someone else but you can should check your 'far caspian' , 'royel otis', 'surf curse' , 'small forward' if u havent already. tell me if u like it or not its just my taste. cheers!
oh well im late to the part like i always am, but are there any suggestions or current joys-like artists you'd like sharing cuz IM IN LOVE WITH THIS. i've been listening to indie stuff for about 6 months now, and it's the best type of music there is tbh
@@archi9470 honestly there's too many artists I listen to, but you will be able to find amazing indie artists on youtube. Right now I'm really enjoying this song High Tops By Del Water Gap> ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ksrb33z3boo.html
@@archi9470 the smiths, the cure, surf curse (same artist different band), and some others that don't sound exactly like them but they're still really good artist are Alex g, beach house and Christian leave
It's January 2021, and I'm reading comment after comment each with familiar expressions of sadness. Not the usual sadness that is normal to others, no. It's a deep sadness that accompanies one in every breath. The kind that wraps around one's heart. My tears are not for me this time, they're caused by the pain in between the lines of these comments and my knowing the long road you young people have yet to travel. Things will get better and then things will darken again. It's like a rollercoaster that never stops. I'll be 61 next month, not much longer I will be relieved of this commitment to life. From all I've learned up to this point, only one passage of advice has stuck. It goes something like this...Life will always be made of highs and lows, this we know as fact. So, since we know this we should not be overwhelmed by the darkness that arrives in our days. And, as they come we know too so shall they go.
Im crying today. Nov 30th, im so stressed, so overwhelmed, and im soo tired. I sleep through my responsibilities and problems. At least when im asleep im at peace from everything.
"no one gives a shit about my life. til i die." too true. it's like nobody cares about someone until they die, and then they grieve and pretend to miss them. its sad.
you have so much life to look forward to, I promise. I felt the same way when I was your age and life has given me so much beauty and promise. You will find yourself. Life is an adventure, the struggles are what make us stronger. You'll look back one day and wish you could hug your younger self and tell them it'll be okay. Until then, I'm virtually hugging you :)
I see people expressing their feelings so why dont i. Im stuck in life Im 17 and i dont know what im gonna do in the future I dont really have friends i just have a lot of people i know I do have 1 best friend She helped me a bunch in my life and i have a secret i never told her Ever since i met her i have been in love with her Literally cant stop thinking about her She's just so...beautiful Im scared to tell her cause i know I'll lose her completely if i do Im so fucking lost There was a time i tried to take my life about 3 years ago I still have scars to this day Idk how long I've been sad and lost Im stupid i know All these feelings are just hard and i dont know how to deal with them I tried to get help but no use I think im a waste of people's time and effort I blame myself for everything I just Im lost If anyone read this thank you You've hear more about me than most people I wish you all happines and i hope you all find someone who loves you just as much as you love them.
I'm 17 too and I've been in a similar place before, you just gotta live in the moment ( easier said than done ik) ru-vid.comfeatured check out this channel it helped me out a lot, hope it can help you too
Don't miss an opportunity man, if she's truly your best friend she''ll understand your feelings and thoughts. These thoughts only come, to alter our heads but just give it one day at a time man. take it easy..
honestly this music just... idk does something to me. I can't explain it but it just gives me that feeling ya know? like I could do anything but nothing at he same time. like just staring at my ceiling at odd hours of the night while thinking about anything and everything. Kinda like I want to cry but I just... can't Edit: TYSM for the 50 likes!! I didn't know os many people could relate!!
this band and all of their songs are so nostalgic for me. every single one of their songs reminds me of better times. im so mature now. i miss being stupid and selfish. i miss 3rd and 4th grade. i miss my friends. my inside jokes. having fun. being a fucking kid. and even tho im still really young, i feel 20 yrs older. i use to cry over being a kid. i wanted to ba an adult with a job and a life. im not even an adult yet and its already exhausting. all my friends are exhausted too. i just wanna live in the moment but i cant for the life of me stop thinking about when my life was better. kids makes me feel old. new flesh makes me feel young and like i can actually live in the moment and stop dwelling on the past. new flesh makes me wanna runaway from my life and start a new one. new people. new place. new thoughts. it makes me feel like i need to do something with my life. a different age makes me feel like i havent done anything useful and i am useless. this band is a beautiful enigma. its amazing. but makes me want to smash my head into cement with rage and sadness sometimes. shit i need a life.
anyone else feel like they haven't done enough with their life, but are too afraid to make those risks? i feel this way. edit: 21/10/21 I'm much better i hope you are too :) edit: 25/05/22 my heart got broken a couple months ago, i thought i would never get over him, i felt like i could have spent my whole life with him and i know that's silly but i really thought so. I couldn't seem to understand why he ended things between us it seemed so perfect, we were perfect for each other, and everyone said so. But over time I've realized maybe it wasn't supposed to be. Maybe i was just sugar-coating this relationship as a whole, It wasn't even a relationship we were that sort of thing where you are definitely more than friends but not 'together' (never do this it really fucks you up) Don't get me wrong, he and i had the absolute best adventures going to the city and exploring places and i will forever hold those memories close to my heart. I will miss him more than he'll ever know. Wish him and his new girl all the best. edit: 15/03/24 Hi guys!! I'm in my last year of high school, and I'm doing well. Things have worked out! I'm now at boarding school, and I've made so many new friends, experienced so much, and learned so much about myself. I hope you are all doing well!
maybe taking these risks dosen't even matter, because no matter what the risks may represent, theyr'e still nothing but an abstraction of life's chaos. we are so lost in this lonely universe, we think if we love and care and push up and dive into the messiness of existence maybe it would all mean something. but the truth is we don't really know that, life happens, and so does death. so what's the point really in caring about risks if we already know the outcome. misery is upon us all, shall we only try to enjoy ourselves in life and not life itself.
Try not to get caught in your thoughts, think less and do more. Because the most unpredictable moments in life, the ones that make you feel uncomfortable are the same ones that make you feel the most alive.
I am sitting listening to this infront of my window, looking at how the storm is breaking the plants in my garden and watching the raging ocean hitting the cliffs in the background while there's a hint of the sun going down behind the clouds. Soft noises coming from my television, all the christmas and new years decorations still up, and honestly i have never felt more peace...
I love their music. I’m 16 and I’m high school and I literally have no friends anymore, everything is so hard and I struggle everyday by myself in my head and I really hope one day I’ll be okay and happy and look at how I’m living right now and be proud of myself for not giving up no matter how hard it gets and no matter how many times I think about death. I feel like it’ll be easier if I just had one person besides me like everyone else. Whoever reads this I really hope you have a great life and great success. I love you!
I know very well this feeling, what i can say is you is already strong. Just the fact you comment here and opening for everybody means you can move on, be proud. I love you too
It’s going to be okay, because you wanting to get better and get through this proves you are strong enough to go through it. You sound like an awesome person. Hang on, I love you too 🫂
I discovered this band in the winter of 2020 when I was in 10th grade. I've been obsessed with their music ever since. I was not in a good headspace back then at all, having been sent to a psych ward for suicidal idealation and having to do outpatient for a few months, but their music helped me a lot. Also gives me a certain nostalgia for the last months of pre-covid.
Four years ago I told myself that I was only feeling depressed because of what was happening at the time and that the awful emptiness I felt inside was temporary. As I said before, four years have passed and I feel even worse with no hope at all. Im so sick of living just for others, for my family and friends who I wouldnt like to hurt with my death, I hate me and this soso much. If someone reads this I wish you the best.
You could be the master of your fate you could be the captain of your soul, but you have to realize that life is coming from you and not at you and that takes some time. This playlist is literally me.
i have been such a huge fan of current joys since 2017. I havent been listening to them as often as i used to because i have listened to every one of their songs about 10 times (even the unreleased and live versions) and tiktok kinda overplayed a lot of their songs but I revisit them every once in a while. They make me feel less lonely :)
this music for some reason takes me back to different memories in my childhood. When i was 12, I had this girl over, we were just friends. We sat on my bed listening to gorillaz, and beastie boys since they where the only two cds i had. I can remember the smell of summer and fresh bed sheets like it was yesterday. and we would sit and talk about everything. Life used to be so simple
Everyone's talking into the void on this one. I wish I could do that and actually feel like someone's really listening. But to you Its really just words on a screen. You can't hear me you hear whatever voice you use to think with. I'm just a guy that doesn't know how to answer the question 'who are you' sitting on this floor in my room that I struggle so hard to leave everyday. Yet I want to see people. I want to connect with people of all kinds. I often find that i change myself to be more relatable to others around me bc it opens up doors for conversation. One brain to another. You are all so amazing in your own way and I wish to connect with all of you in some way. Maybe in a way of unity because I often struggle with the idea of hate, yet I find so much of it in my heart. So I turn to these late night emotions where they all just disperse at the same time from holding them in all day trying to be what the world wants to see. I'm not me I'm just all of you. And you are all me.
this playlist makes me nostalgic, making me think about this, my last year in school .. and its ending too fast idk if ill met again with this years new friends, like, this playlist makes me think about them and how ill miss them so much but be thankfull for the friendship and nice memories
34:36 There are flowers in my heart They're growing thorns and it hurts Every time you're around We break up We get down And I won't See you again You're not a person You're my friend If we do Just by chance Can we kiss? Can we dance?
i’ve been listening to current joys since 2019. but haven’t listened to them in a while. their music truley touches my soul, i love hearing their sound again. i’m crying just listening
Oh my children is like this and even more............... i really hope you guys never pass it i know how it feels im trying to get out of it but i cant so pls be happy for me ! Remember that you are unique and that you can remeber always that hope the best for ya ! :D
this band. here i am, finishing a project. i feel the slight breeze of the ceiling fan on my arms. i think about my life. about everyone i left behind. these songs ARE deppression. they are sadness. but at the same time they are also joy, summer, winter, fall, spring, fear, love, and pure nostalgia. they make me think of my lover

Man i love Mild Orange and Vacations, they're like my favorite indie bands. Oh there's also Far Caspian and Josh Fudge, that are some kind of upbeat chill stuff.
I see a lot of people in the comments expressing how sad they feel, etc. Let me tell you right now, there is no magical cure. No pill, no one perfect situation, no one person that will finally 'make' you feel awesome again. As you get older, things become more complex, stressful. The only thing I found to get you through all the feelings of sadness or loneliness is to force yourself to think positive. You practice it every day. You can even make stuff up..maybe you dont believe your kind, intelligent, funny, etc., but say it anyway. And keep sayin' it day after day after day. One day, you'll notice you don't have to practice so hard, because you have become what you told yourself you wanted to be.
Ok. I needed to say this to someone... It's the very first time I cry for only a music not thinking of anything else just because of the beauty... It just happened listening to this at the beginning of "Home"... Waw I'm blown away 'bout the feeling... Thanks Current Joys :')
I'm listening to this playlist, and I remembered my childhood in 2019, and oh God... It was a really good time. I had friends and I spent all my time with them. I remember: jokes about area 51, bubble gum ice cream, sunsets, bright clothes, smiles, peach perfume, sailor moon... and of course current joys. Now I'm preparing for exams, and occasionally I listen to these songs for nostalgia ... Yeah, then I definitely didn't use my brain :)
Se que nadie leera esto pero bueh... justo hoy soñé con esta canción(kids) y yo estaba en un tipo campo con varios arboles y habían fangos en ciertas partes , el sol se veía demasiado naranja y se escondía por el horizonte y a mi lado había alguien que era muy especial para mi , pero lit ni idea de quien sea XD la cosa que éramos novios y ay era muy lindo todo la vdd, jugabamos a las chapadas, luego nos abrazábamos, y ptmr todo lo que nunca me ocurrirá, jsjs amo esa canción y la banda.
im so fuckin scared of the future, i am only 12 years old and in the next few years i will start adolescence. i am sick of my father who the only thing he does is harm me physically, emotionally and mentally, and my mother only focuses on her, i only have one friend who does not even know if she loves me. worst of all is that nobody believes me because "I'm only 12 years old", and the same questions always surround my mind; is there really an age to feel bad about yourself? if this is the best stage of my life, does that mean that what is coming will be worse? when will i be enough for this shitty world? and many others. i really try to luv myself and find some reason to stay here, they only hurt me by ignoring me, telling me to eat more or eat less, that i wear these clothes and not this one, that my musical taste is so different and weird. i dont like the fact that with my little 12 years i care about things that should not, i would like to go out and have fun with friends, with my dog, share with my family and thousands of other things, but I dedicate myself to studying and not eating im fed up. i just wanna disappear and its probably what i'll do, i dont lose anything and nobody cares anyway.
im sorry that this world has treated you like this. its not fair. you never deserved to endure this much pain at such a young age. im sorry. i know im just a stranger but if theres anything i can do to help you i will try my hardest. hang on there okay?! i believe in you. who cares what others say. you can get through this. i know you may have heard this a few times before but things do really get better. trust me. i know i cant relate fully with what you are going through and fully understand, im still a great listener
Take some time for yourself to destress. Do a quick study, then draw, ride your bike, read a book, take a bubble bath, listen to music that makes you happy (use headphones if your parents get mad), watch your favorite show/movie, pet your dog, get some rest, drink some water and eat some food at least so you won't be sleepy. If your father is doing very bad things to you, you should tell an adult, like a teacher or someone you trust. I understand everyone is going through a bad time, but there is no excuse for abuse. Then again, I don't know the situation, so I can't say for sure what the best option is. Just know you're not alone. I'm older and I still don't know what to think about the future (especially with how life is since 2020)... the years just keep flying by and I don't know what to make of life. So I just try to live each day, make it through it, and not think about the next day too much. I used to get very stressed at work and I eventually just told myself "If I get fired, then I get fired. As long as I'm doing my job, that's what matters." or something along those lines. Letting me stress my own self over what managers think was a waste of my time. Do what you can do, but don't hurt yourself over it.
Their songs are so comforting yet hurting in a way. Makes me want to cry but also I could fall asleep to it. I was upstairs doing homework listening to this and got about halfway through when I went down for dinner. I gave my mom a big hug. These songs make me have “holy shit” moments and realize how fast time goes by and that I need to enjoy the now. If you are thinking about them, call them. Give you parents a big hug and a kiss. I hope everyone is doing well 🫂💜
While i'm listening this playlits i'm trying to win a battle with self love, and that is so hard for me. I'm listening and writting a text (in order of my psychlogist) trying to understend "who i'm my? And why i think i don't deserve love?". Thanks for the song, that make it fell like a hug in a painfull moment
i never knew nor searched for them- they just played on youtube while i was studying. i've only listened to this playlist alone but i love them already :))
I just wanna lay on a bed w someone close to me and listen to their songs as loud as possible and just vibe without sayin anythin. IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK FOR ?
If anyone is struggling, just know actions are more than words, and music is more than any action and emotion that you'll do or feel, music is a strong power, so is emotion, so use it wisely. This is key to life.
This is for everyone in the comments, it’s never going to make sense. Get lost in these songs and realize it’s alright to not be alright. Life’s gana suck some days but see this as a new beginning. Tomorrow is a new day and make the most of it.
i miss summer so much. i remember i was in the backseat of my mom’s car soaked after going to the pool with my friend. it was sunset, the car windows were lowered while the air rushed through my hair. i was eating a slushee and listening to new flesh while admiring the orange pink and purple color of the sky. i wanna go back so bad it hurts.
i love how many people are just straight up venting in these comments, usually starting off by actually talking about these songs and then going off on a depressing rant :’) not judging, i get it
Did you guys know that Current Joys isn't a band, just one guy called Nick Rattigan, who also happens to be the lead singer of the band Surf Curse? I found yesterday and I think it's kinda interesting
Cuando conocí el amor estuve aquí, escuchando esta playlist. Cuando terminó el amor estuve aquí, escuchando esta playlist. Ahora, entre la soledad y el vacío, vuelvo aquí.
It's one of those days ... I drive my car somewhere without knowing where, I park anywhere with a nice view and I play this, I light a cigarette and I just enjoy my own company, quite calm ...

can someone tell me what should i do with my life? i just turned 18 and im so fucking lost... im finishing school this year and i have no clue what to do after that... i have no motivation for studying and i dont study at all besides that.. should i go to college? which one? about what? i just have no clue what i wanna do in life.. honestly i just wanna blast music, have fun, skate, not worry about anything.. im just so fucking lost and i feel like i've wasted all my teen years and havent done shit in life..
Hey bud, just explore as much as you can, everybody is good at something, you just need to find your thing. It could be film-making, singing, heck it could even be having fun and documenting it for people online. Just don't give up man. :)
Dude... you are not alone we are the same age and the same situation. IT SUCKS! It's like i'm stuck and time is going to waste.. and we don't know what do we want from life like.. we literally are losing the best years of our lifes and we still haven't done anything... it's so not fair. I'm sry i just needed to vent too although this isn't the whole thing. I strongly relate to your comment :)
I need friends who are into this vibe and who are down to go for midnight drives and all that 🥺💗 But most of all, those who know what friendship truly is 🤝
I’m 13 and really don’t have anything wrong with my life. One thing tho. I feel constantly empty. The only thing keeping going is a girl I’ve never spoken to. She’s a short, shy, girl with red dyed hair, and god I just can’t get her out of my head. This is the first real crush I’ve ever had. It scares me that in a few years this will be unimportant because right now it’s my whole life. Something so meaningful could be nothing not too long from now. I feel like I have so much more to write but just can’t right now almost like I don’t know how to properly vent. For the first time I finally have someone to kinda vent to but there’s one problem. I can barely vent about the girl I like (the main thing I wanna vent about) because the person I’m venting to has a crush on me. She thinks I don’t know, but it’s kinda obvious. I don’t want to hurt her feelings by talking about someone else. You know? Why does my whole world revolve around someone who probably doesn’t give a shit about me? What’s the fucking point of it all? She’s the only reason I even get up dude. I’ve never understood the concept of suicidal thoughts until now. My brother has been battling depression for the past year or two, and I never understood that. I didn’t see how someone could just be constantly sad for no apparent reason. The thing is though is that I kinda get it now. I understand. I’ve sort of started to hate life. Man I needed that. Just to vent a little.
I admire your honesty and willingness to put your thoughts and feelings out to the world. I'm 62 y. o(no shit) and all I can offer is letting you know that what's going on with you is going on with everyone, young or old is neither here or there. You seem pretty aware about what's happening in your life. This attribute can be both a blessing and a curse. I know cuz I once was you. We all want people, places and things that never come to be. It's so easy to get distracted and forget about all the good shit that's real and true and beautiful in our lives. This girl that likes you must see something in you that the other does not and maybe you also don't see in yourself. I am not one to tell anyone what to do cuz I'm not you. Have faith in you and trust yourself. You'll work this out. It's ok , so are you. Ok,?
