I can’t believe even after the show has ended Rachel blessed us with more CEG songs ❤️😭 tbh I hope there’s an entire season’s worth of cut songs out there 👀
Oh, the feeling when your life is a mess and you're the only one in all your friends failing, so you have to pretend you're happy that everyone is thriving, while you're in rock bottom. Literally describes 90% of my lifetime.
Ugh. Same. My brother and best friend and buying homes, and I’m stuck at my post-college job, in my studio apartment, with crippling debt, mourning after the end of my ten-year marriage. So bahahahaha I’m so happy for them. Like for real I am. Almost like it doesn’t make me feel inferior or sad. 🥲🥹🤣😢😭
I don’t understand why this wasn’t on the show. I think it might be the most relatable song on CEXG and that’s saying a lot. It perfectly expresses what feeling like a failure feels like; the mix of shame, envy, resentment, and anger at yourself, the “why can’t I get my shit together?” Phenomenon.
This is a mood. I am constantly deleting and retyping messages to stop myself from making the things that happen to my friends (good and bad) about me. It's really comforting to know this happens to enough people that it is relatable, makes me feel better about the times I have messed up on this front and the song is a good way to remind myself to be aware of this very human instinct and to try to avoid it.
@@morbidsearch I think so. But I have never been on a plane, sitting next to my therapist and taking sleeping pills. So, I've never met a dream Ghost. (They are "Fantasmas do Sonho" in portuguese)
we do that in german(y) too! when i wanna make fun of my friends i tell them: hold out only your pointer/index fingers near their eyes-(they do it) then i tell them to bend their index finger (again, they follow me) and then i go 'mimimimimimi' as i mock cry and like rotate my hands (this is super hard to describe i hope u get it lol)
This song hits harder when you go through a bad breakup and your siblings both find new love and are gushing about how great it is. I wanna be supportive, but like 'god forbid anything good should happen to me'!
Me! My long term bf broke up with me the week before my brother’s wedding and obviously I love my brother and was genuinely happy for him, but I was sad all night because my ex was supposed to be my date and we were planning to go to the wedding together for 2 years 😭
I remember watching this for the first time and being irritated at Rebecca complaining about jail and her pretzel store, for both of which she has no-one to blame but herself (OK, Trent had a small role to play in the jail thing, but she really didn't need to go and this was made blindingly clear to her)...and then took a good look at myself and all the inner monologues I've had whilst perusing Instagram about the friends who've been doing brilliantly, whilst I've felt like I'm floundering with - again - no-one to blame but myself. And this song nails what that inner monologue sounds like! Including the fake cake. And the plant.
Me: well depression is finally over I can resume my life let’s talk to my friends My friends: we look great, we have a boyfriend/gf, we have a career, we have so much money Me: *sings this song*
Oof too relatable. I messed up my life plan real bad recently and now one of my best friends from high school who has been incredibly successful wants to hang out this Friday 😅😅 I’m sooooo happy for you girl
@@margaritam.9118 Ugh, that freaking Anxiety General. But, for real, when you are already battling anxiety on a daily basis this feeling Rebecca has in this clip (and also the one she shared with her therapist about "the life race") can get even more claustrophobic. And there's also another trap: when you feel guilty and punish yourself for feeling those things. That's a dangerous trap (I've fallen sooo many times in it, and I still do, but that's ok. The good thing is that I know what's going on and knowledge/self-knowledge is power) because we're human and it is normal for us to feel those things. I believe that the most important thing is what you do with them. In my vision, the best option is not to let yourself be drowned and consumed by them, which can be quite hard because they are overwhelming and also might trigger harmful reaction and negative cycles. The good news is that science for mental and emotional health has developed a lot and we don't have to deal with theses inner conflicts alone. P.S. I love this show so much!!!
Escrivaninha de Papelão for sure, I have a therapist who is helping me a lot tbh, otherwise I wouldve never said yes to meeting them, but it’s still sticking like a rock in my stomach (also we had to reschedule for Monday so wish me luck 😅😭)
100% same!! I screwed stuff up and then I have all these people and friends telling me about something they just accomplished or that their doing and I'm just like, "That's great, I'm so happy for you!! I feel like a turd, but go you!! Yay!!" Ugh. This song is life right now!
Oooh I love gifting plants, they're things people spend time with and especially if I'm gifting people already with plants, they're not even an extra burden, just extra population. Then maybe every once in a while they remember that it was a gift and it brings a smile to their face 🤷♀️
One nice thing about southern California is the range of low-maintenance plants. A poinsettia will bloom all year, and the leaves will get crumbly before it dies of thirst. Cactus and succulents store water for weeks and months. Even the Geranium and Gardenias on our patio are seemingly indestructible. Basically, everything that can live here only needs watering once a week... or month.
Rachel, this is a little hard for me. It kind of feels like I'm losing all my TV friends at once. But I will be cheering you all on very sincerely from my small, private social media accounts with no new Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, having not watched TV since after the show completed, because, oh right, there is nothing that will ever be as good as this. Insert awkward laugh here.
In a social media driven, “Look at me and all of my success! #winning” world, this song is everything. I can’t believe it didn’t make the final cut because it’s iconic. My new anthem.
Yup I glady would've swaped that for this. Apparently it was script changes that led to this being cut? Such a catchy banger though! Not to mention all the props are great! I want the exploding glitter balloon so bad.
This video is gold. I get why they cut it but I'm so happy they shared it with the world now. Really hoping for more unreleased songs. And that the plant won't have to scream. I mean, those instructions were really clear. 😂
I love stuff like this, because this is one of those feelings we all have but never really talk about. I feel this so often and felt so bad about it, but now seeing that we all feel it sometimes makes me cope with it better. Love you rachel
I think they cut this song from the show on Netflix, which is a shame cause it reminded me of all the times I felt like my friends were moving on the better things without me.
I have to say, to me CEG was one of the best shows I ever saw. The characters are so relatable and I ran through all the emotions. And the songs are so catchy and still make me laugh! I just love the weird humor in it 💕 I'm sad, that there will be no new episodes, but I'm also happy, that the story won't be dragged out longer than it should and has a nice closing arch. I love you and your Co-Stars, Rachel 💖 Thank you and all the people who worked on CEG for all the blood and sweat you put into it! It's easily one of my, if not the most beloved shows of all times!
Bless you Rachel for yet another painfully relatable song. Felt this exact way when my best friend got a really good internship this summer and I didn't. Miss this show like crazy. Can't wait to see what you'll do next!
Well time to re watch this show to find out where this AMAZING song didnt come into play. Also bc now I miss the characters! And songs of course even I always listen to them on spotify
I feel so blessed to still be getting content from Rachel after Crazy Ex-girlfriend is done. I feel this a lot in my life. Even though I'm happy where I am now, I see others who are having more success and I can't help but feel insecure, jealous, sad, and all while feeling happy for my friends. Thank you Rachel for writing these songs that touch my heart and know I'm not alone in feeling this m but also see the need to be happy for friends.
