Hippo Campus - buttercup (Official Video) 

I never really knew the lyrics of this song I would sing along and be like “ibefaofmyownshesaidibefiajdbwk, ishebabilil, ishebabilil”

Two fantastic indie pop songs called buttercup, both almost completely incomprehensible.

This is the most hippocampusiest thing I’ve ever seen

One of my friends played this in the car as we were driving back from an amazing evening at the cinema- everything felt so light and happy and perfect. I remember distinctly thinking: THIS is the song I want to remember tonight by. It embodies every gleeful, warm moment of friendship that I felt. We discussed our future plans during that car ride, our hopes, our ambitions. This song was just the icing on the cake, really. With exams coming up soon, it was a much-needed break from all the stress. May you all have moments like this of joy.

my brother in law passed away, in July. We found this band and shared it with him, and he automatically fell in love with you guys. He’s been to two of your shows in Oklahoma City, he even had your Bambi poster framed in his living room ! when he passed away, I remember being so unbelievably sad and finding the little happiness inside and dance my heart while crying at the same time to this song in our living room, wishing he was there to jam out with me. You guys mean the whole world to me, and my husband and to his brother. You guys truly changed my life, thank you.

this is one of the only songs my bird jams to

I've never found a song before that can perfectly encapsulate the sudden rage and tension that breaks out after calmness of trying to avoid it, never found a song that more perfectly encapsulates how it feels to be around my family and abusive father

This cured my depression, anxiety, and made me graduate university.

First school gets canceled for tomorrow and this beautiful video is released...today's a good day

2:39 THIS PART GIVES ME CHILLS

I’ll be fine on my own, she said, I don’t need you inside my head (She’ll be fine on her own, she'll be fine on her own) I'll be fine on my own, she said, all my love's wrapped in shades of red (She’ll be fine on her own, she'll be fine on her own) No holds barred in the ring so you'll fight me Give 'em hell, give 'em teeth like you taught me Tireless mess, seeking thrills getting bitey When I'm in doubt Pudgy face kissing lace in the backseat Wrinkled toss of the coin that I can't see Don't forget I have you to be like me Where around is enough for a family I’ll be fine on my own, she said, I don’t need you inside my head (She’ll be fine on her own, she'll be fine on her own) I'll be fine on my own, she said, all my love's wrapped in shades of red (She’ll be fine on her own, she'll be fine on her own) Growing pains splaying rain on the high sea Scale a tree, snap a branch so you can't leave On the ground, lost and found, understand me Putting words in my mouth, trying to get free [Turntan, Beans & Stitches] Solid punch kind of eyes make ‘em wobbly Gothic vine growing fire in the lobby Lighten up, buttercup, get a hobby Yeah, swing, sucker, swing, finish sobbing She’ll be fine on her own... she’ll be fine on her own She’ll be fine on her own... she’ll be fine on her own She’ll be fine on her own, she said She’ll be fine on her own, she said She’ll be fine on her own, she said She’ll be fine on her own, she’ll be fine on her own She’ll be fine on her own, she’ll be fine on her own I'll be fine, I'm alright, it’s my body Gonna stick to my guns, like you taught me Holy hell, I can tell that you hate me Dying moon, keep me up, keep me waiting I'll be fine, I'm alright, it’s my body Gonna stick to my guns, like you taught me Holy hell, I can tell that you hate me Dying moon, keep me up, keep me waiting

Art director: Aw shit, I spilled acid in my milk! Animator: gimme that shit

my friend died a few days ago, and when i went to their visitation, their mom told me that this was their favorite song. they were an incredible person, and we shared so many amazing memories together. all the liveliness of this song and video reminds me of all the life and joy they brought with them everywhere, so i’ll cherish it forever. rest in peace, pal - i’m so glad you were in my life 🖤

lighten up butter cuP GET A HOBBBYYYYY

This song really understands me, especially in the time like this, when you can't depend on someone else except yourself. I'm crying and smiling at the same time

so underrated.. i hope u guys get a better chance someday.. lovee it

This is literally my favourite song by them I’m so glad they made a video for it

this is what I put on high volume when my parents fight and I just vibe so thanks RU-vid recommendations and hippocampus

Hippocampus back at it again with the banger mvs

The animations are so good O_O

those Adventure Time vibes are definitly here and im definitly here for it!!!

Wow they really nailed it with this one. Anyone know any other songs that have the same vibe as the start when he says "I'll be fine on my own, she said. I don't need you inside my head."? That's my favorite part. I need more songs like this. Thanks for the help.

OK IDK WHY BUT ALL I SEE IN THIS VIDEO IS POWER RANGERS AND SOMEONE SAYING "THE MITOCHONDIRA IS THE POWER HOUSE OF THE CELL..." NOW TELL ME THIS VIDEO DOES NOT REMINDS YOU OF CELLS AND SHIT! I LOVE IT THO! CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU GUYS IN FEB

Aah, this is the perfect way to start the day

The meaning of the lyrics and the animations correlated so perfectly and i couldnt have asked for a better representation of this song. Im in love💕

Things are so stressful right now but yet this song somehow makes everything feel a little bit better. I'm so glad i discovered this song

Volumes spoken in vernacular poetry. Deeply personal and yet incomprehensible if you haven’t experienced toxicity.

THIS IS SO GOOD IM SHOOK

this felt like a dream sequence

I'm not saying this just because I love them but I honestly can't think of a band that's more underrated. Everything these guys put out is amazing and not enough people know about them.

I am really surprised how good Hippo Campus is! They're better than good, their great! I got hooked on their song "South". After listening to that song last night, I decided to listen to two of their newer songs. I wasn't expecting much, but I got my socks knocked off! I hope everyone is enjoying this group as much as I am!

You guys deserve so much more subs I love your music This is awesome

Saw these guys at Hinterland this year and now I'm a fan! One of the best performances I've seen live.

My ex girlfriend recommended me this song and I just sorta had it on in the background once and told her I liked it without actually really hearing any of it. Now over a year later after we broke up I heard it on Spotify in its entirety and paid attention and couldn’t help but cry. I wish I could tell her how much I really enjoyed this song, I wish I had more chances to tell her that I love her more than anything in the world. But I fucked it up and I’m so mad at myself. And I feel like this song really captures that vibe, the anger, regret, everything that’s buried just beneath the surface of upbeat positivity.

I miss the friends I used to listen to this song with. Everything changes with adulthood

Hippo Campus never fails to impress with their amazing songs and videos

I found this band when I needed them, it was after a nasty break up, I don’t like to come back because the memories attached to the music, but it’s good to come back every now and then.

"Lighten up, buttercup, get a hobby Swing, sucker swing, stop your sobbing"

SEEING THEM IN OCTOBER LAST YEAR WAS THE HIGHLIGHT OF MY LIFE 💕💕💕💕

This was played at the march for our lives!!!! Love you Hippocampus 💕

"Dying moon, keep me up, keep me waiting" Yall are actually poets

This song was played by my brother while we were on an Christmas trip in LA, it was rainy and the sun was setting so this song was perfect. For an few years I couldn’t get it out of my head and last year I only remembered the songs name and what it sounded like and you bet your ass I blasted it a lot of times and I will do it again

“I’ll be fine I’m alright it’s my body” I’m in love

great music aside, THIS FREAKING ANIMATION LIKE WTH YOU TWO DUDES DID AN AMAZING JOB LIKE DUDE, FUUUUUUU-

THIS IS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL PIECE OF ART IM SO PROUD OF THE BOYS

Just found this song, the vibes have never been better

I Feel like there's a underlying message here. "Don't give up, stay strong". that's what I keep hearing as I listen

it's been just a little over two years since I stumbled across this video and fell absolutely in love with hc :(( still my favorite band to this day

It's so cool how vastly different this song is to the rest of the album. You get through, reach the interlude, and then this banger of song starts and it hits you like a truck

I think I’ve been hypnotized

I don’t why I’m so in love with that little clip of the drummer at the beginning

Reminds me of a girl I knew. She was my best friend. Although we don't talk anymore everytime I hear this song I see her smile. Knowing she's happy and she's gonna be fine is enough for me.

Perfectly portrays the feeling of freedom after finally breaking free from an abusive relationship

This reminds me of hot chaotic summers when my siblings and I would chase each other around in the hills near the beach. I can’t find a better song that matches that feeling

4 years later and this still rocks. one of my favorite songs ever

literally my favorite song out of every song i’ve heard in my life

Love ♥

Glad to say this song is what introduced me. Its genuinely my favorite still honestly

This song just makes me so happy

The way they use colors and visuals to capture the mood of the song is amazing wow

who needs drugs when you can just watch this

Just found this doing 4 years late. Love this so much

How is it that everything you release immediately becomes my new favorite song? Saw you guys supporting JRJR back in 2015 and you've been my #1 ever since

Such beauty and lively pop colors is what I've been searching for for a long time now.

I thought it was more like a story of a father struggling to let his daughter go.

I fucking love this song. I don't usually like a lot of songs in this genre but this is such a happy good vibe and it truly helps my mental health.

*HOLY HELL I CAN TELL THAT YOU HATE ME!*

This is such a unique video, hippocampus hasnt released any videos at all like this. I like it.

OMG, I love this video. It's goes so well with the song

I’m so glad I’m one of few who viewed it first!!! Yaaaaaassssss!!! This is a beautiful song.

I love seeing that our hometown boys are getting so popular. Love the new music!

This song makes me fall deeply n love with Hippo campus, because it got me through anxiety attacks and two break ups I was dancing around my house and exercising!!! and listening to twenty one pilots a lot as well at that time, and I completely forgot about this song and now it is cheering my depressive outlook up too, thank god for beautiful music

You guys are so talented holy heck,, I’ve been listening to you since 2016 and I loved seeing your band grow and grow !

riding my bike through the forest on a sunny day with this tune playing, perfect

beauty. artwork. best thing to see after school.

every single frame of this madness is pure art

Don't mind me, just in quarentine discovering sum good music/artists

Thank you hippo campus. I used this song while I was in the worst relationship of my life to get through it and be brave enough to leave. And thank you Elton john, for makin I’m still standing to help me up after I was beaten down. You helped me not miss a potential abuser and potential rapist. I couldn’t listen to this song for awhile but now it makes me feel stronger. Keep making beautiful music

THIS IS THE BEST THING TO WAKE UP TO

are we all gonna ignore this insanly good animation ?
