i wish it could happen to me 

this song captures the feeling of loneliness so accurately... great animation!

Really captures how our loneliness and anxiety takes control of us but we don't want that, yet we try and capture those moments of joy that other people have

finally one of these animations doesn't end on a false positive that makes you feel 1000x worse

Ok but I like how the use of a mime protagonist creates a metaphor of social problems being like being stuck in an invisible box.

This video really makes me feel better. It feels and sounds happy yet the lyrics are slightly depressing, its like the perfect mix of satisfaction and yearning. Like not knowing what exactly you want but knowing you want something and even if your happy in the moment there’s always that moment when it ends and your back to that missing feeling. This is a really nice video that feels like getting a long awaited hug, Thank you 🥩

RU-vid recommended me this song a couple of months ago. I’m so glad to have found this in my recommended; the lineless style reminiscent of old French landscape artists and the subtle animation are just SUBLIME. The music and visuals just fit so damn well together to present self isolation and loneliness in a way words can’t describe. I can’t imagine how long this must have taken; AMAZING WORK!! 🫶💕

As the sort of aromantic introvert that can go weeks without face-to-face human contact, this kinda defines my dilemma. Honestly, my greatest fear is that I AM capable of love, I just haven't found that Special Someone to awaken it.

The comfort and certainty from intentionally isolating myself is too strong to even feel like doing the opposite, its even worse if you do actually find happiness in loneliness

I've been through this pseudo-depression. In the end I realized life is about doing what you want, and in reality while I desired for friendships and love I never actually wanted to put in the effort to get any of those things. My feeling of desire was not one of actual desire, it was a feeling of jealousy and envy and a feeling of missing out. In truth I never desired to be in those friendships, I was just scared of missing out on things I felt everyone else were experiencing, and so jealous that they had the lives and friendships and experiences that I wanted, while in reality if I were them and if I were given all those things I thought I desired, in the end it wouldn't work out and I would give up on all of it, because it wasn't what I really wanted, it was what I thought I wanted, because I was scared. I'm not scared anymore. I'm happy and alone. And maybe someday I'll talk, and it won't be so silent anymore.

I'm a sucker for this art style.

I love the art on this piece. Like at 2:03, how even though it's heavily stylized, you can tell exactly what it's meant to depict - the out of focus lights of a city skyline at night.

I'm amazed by this hitting 100,000. I'm not going to take a large amount of credit for the attention, because this video would never have existed without the music behind it. Thank you sincerely though for liking my work. I'll start by saying that I don't really deserve this. The only thing I've ever been somewhat good at has been art. Even then I'm not very good, specifically in my productivity, and I always intended this channel to simply be a place to archive my projects. I suppose I should be glad that the things I create can bring some good to people's lives, even if I didn't intend for it.

I still couldn’t believe this song is 55 years old. This is truly ahead of its time, like the 2010s would dig this up.

This is adorable and I love it. Glad to find another smaller creator to love on. This is beautiful and saddening

what a cool artstyle! also it makes me feel a bit more at peace, knowing someone out there also knows the feeling of loneliness. Ironically, it makes me feel like I'm not alone. Thank you for making this

That enhanced "hello" really stands out, you know. Like a wake up call, it cuts you, if only for a moment. Speaking as a certified door closer here.

I've been feeling a bit... out of my mind recently. This describes what I've been feeling a bit well, though not precisely. I do not feel like I can relate to anyone in my life, and I'm scared that all it takes is to try to open up to others because I have tried and failed so many times to open up to everyone in my life. Now all I do is wait for people to open up themselves and then go around their sense instead of having to burden them with my specific sense of self. It is not like I have anything interesting to personally share with others anyway, especially considering the type of person I am inside and how I need to hide that person anyway or risk being sent off to an insane asylum. At least I'm slowly starting to forget about what my less-healthy side is like, that will be a temporary good riddance even though I know it will come back like it always does.

It looks absolutly gogreous. I love it ❤

This goes right into my “favorites” playlist. I love your art style - it’s simplicity and nice colors and character design make it cute and sad at the same time which perfectly fits the song

I wish it could happen to me too. Seeing a bunch of people have fun while having no good friends by your side makes the feeling of loneliness so much stronger. I wish everyone had friends they can count on and have fun with

Lovely art style and all the shots are very beautiful, great job! Can't wait for the next one!

idk what this is really about. But to me it resonates with my fear of relationships, I spent like a year or more closing the door to everyone that got close, often self-destructing the few relationships I did have because I was so comfortable being lonely. It took a while for me to realize the kind of jail I had entrapped myself in and I never figured out what exactly made me this way but I think it might been that I felt abandoned by everyone I met and liked after the year 2020, everyone just stopped talking to me, even online friends.

I listened to this song the other day in the radio but I never expected to exist an animatic using it and I never knew the meaning was that sad. You just gained a new sub! The style’s super cute~ By the way, the song’s called “After Hours” by The Velvet Underground!

it's amazing that TVU made a song that would only fit in over 50 years in the future

Finally, youtube recommends me something that ISN'T fandom drama! Great work, this cuts directly into my spinal chord and into my heart.

one of the most comforting videos ive come across as of late, this perfectly describes so many feelings of anxiety and monotony its insane absolutely lovely, i really needed this, thank you so much

This song sounds like it could've been made in 2010s or even 2020s. The fact that it's actually from the time when my grandparents were still teenagers is so bizzare

I haven't been able to get this out of my head since I saw it. The song is really haunting in its accuracy. Seeing all the human connection you're missing out on can make it tempting to "close the door", IE to shut out reality and cocoon yourself in coping mechanisms, hoping that eventually you will adjust to permanent night and become blissfully ignorant of what you're missing. The animation goes well with it, particularly the idea of a mime - surrounded by people but unable to speak, separated from them by an invisible box. I hope things get better for all of us.

this song is so comforting and i love your lineless art :0

Heart wrenching. It's honestly relatable and beautiful at the same time. I try bringing myself out there yet it feels like no one likes me while I have so many friends. I shouldn't feel lonely but everything just seems so fake, I wish I wasn't lonely. I wish it could happen to me.

Reading through these comments while im alone feels so relaxing, like a nice quiet stroll in the park after a stressful day.

This video is so relatable! You want love and connection, but you're too scared or too deprived to come into the light. It's deeply touching.

ahh..i relate to these lyrics a whole whole lot. this animation was beautiful :)

gosh i know you wont see this, but i love your art style so so so much, the final shot of the animation is so well done and the atmosphere is unironically exactly what i look for when i think of something artistic that makes me feel emotional.

WAAAGH your artstyle is so pretty 🥹🥹 i love how you composed this storyboard!! it's so lovely!! i can't wait for what's in your works bc this is so good!! you're an inspiration because this style is definitely my cup of tea 😭

I don't like to quote cuz it seems obnoxious to me when others do it, but this quote from Tarkovsky really comes to mind whenever the topic of loneliness gets brought up "I don’t know… I think I’d like to say only that they should learn to be alone and try to spend as much time as possible by themselves. I think one of the faults of young people today is that they try to come together around events that are noisy, almost aggressive at times. This desire to be together in order to not feel alone is an unfortunate symptom, in my opinion. Every person needs to learn from childhood how to spend time with oneself. That doesn’t mean they should be lonely, but that they shouldn’t grow bored with themselves. Because people who grow bored in their own company seem to be in danger, from a self-esteem point of view."

The Velvet Underground were really ahead to their time to the point that this song could be some recent indie release.

LINELESS CHARACTER STYLES ARE MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE. Thank you for this amazing video 🫶

Always nice to see people remember this song. One of my favourites of theirs. Helps that this accompanying animation is extremely charming and fitting as well.

thank you for reminding me that im not alone struggling in this darkness sad not knowing why not knowing what's missing the void in my soul was filled for a second

I thank the algorithm for bringing me this video. And even more, I thank you for making it. This combination of song and animation perfectly expresses how I've felt the past year. It's sad but also comforting to see others in a similar boat. ❤

this is genuinely the most pleasing animation to watch ive ever seen. the colours, composition and artstyle look so fucking good its insane i really do hope that things better for you, you are VERY talented!

I'm an introvert, but I'm really good at socializing. Many people have this odd assumption that being good at socializing means that you're an extrovert, and if you're an introvert, you're automatically shy. But, shyness is fear of others, introversion is merely getting socially exhausted after a while. I am a great conversationalist, and I can be very animated and be the center of the party, but after that, I need to basically vegetate in my bed for a good week before I can come out and do it again lol

I felt this many times over. I wish everyone the best and push for not making a bunch of friends, but for the few who'll get you, and the you Who'll get them, and everything happening in the middle. this little animation really portrayed your feelings well. really used the song as an instrument for the melody of your feelings. No clue what I said ^ but we got this people

found this video at a very relatable time. the kinda video that really hits when you know EXACTLY the feeling it's portraying

The music,art style and the message are just perfect, continue with the great work!

0:55 she's a literal goddess

out of any velvet underground song, this has to be my favorite. it fits with whatever mood im in.

the art style is so cute but it also makes me sad (in a good way!!!)

Can’t relate. Whenever I get lonely I just visit the liquor store.

absolutely love the way the art encapsulates the whole feeling of the darkness inside the closed door blotting out everything. can't begin to explain how this made me feel, but amazing work nonetheless.

For someone who has difficulty in expressing themselves and hard to tell what's to wrong (not that i have anyone to tell what's wrong), I must confess, I don't know who you are but you've captured exactly what I've been trying so hard to convey but never hit the mark. Thanks.

Your animation and style is so cool! Keep going!

Took me about a month to gather the courage to watch this masterpiece!! I thought it'd hit too close too home and get me crying. Heh, glad it didn't, brought a happysad smile instead. Thank you

As an introvert I'm happier closing the door...

You’re AMAZING, this is amazing, I’m in love

I've closed that door for an eternity, and it might as well stay that way. Thank you, a truly beautiful animation and song. Love it. 120/10. Couldn't have done it better.

it feels like this video has to be watched in the dark and it really sets the mood right

Oh, to be loved...

I love this artstyle and it's just so beautiful that it feels like it would be perfect in an indie game with a small cult following and is somehow both comforting and a little disturbing at the same time

i used to listen to this song on repeat for hours, this is such a beautiful animation for it and i love the character designs :D

This might genuinely be the coolest thing I've seen all year, the music choice is spot on, but much more than that, your way of storytelling is so unique and I really hope you continue posting your work

this -is literally the plot of omori- such a haunting rendition. Love the character design. Very nice us of textures.

This definitely captures how ive been feeling last week perfectly. I had the worst stomachache for 2 days straight and it was really painful. Now that i think about it, i dont think this song actually captures the feeling. I would say "The ghost song" that plays in the game "It moves" captures the feeling more.

Goddamnit not another channel being criminally ignored by the algorithm this is too underrated and amazing

I love this vid so much. Not only is the animation awesome but it brings me comfort to know that I’m not the only one that has this feeling of being lost in this hard to understand world. Thanks so much for making it!!!!

great animation! super underated

I am someone who, for the longest time, was or believed myself to be aromantic before eventually discovering more about myself. Let me tell you, going from thinking you just need friends to be happy, to all of a sudden finding yourself missing a special person who you’ve yet to even meet is a very jarring experience. I always feel unsure whether I can even trust my own feelings because I’ve both experienced not needing them and at one point, letting them consume me to a point of unhealthy obsession. This song definitely hits very close to that for me.

i really like your art style!! and the music plus the art give me a really warm yet sad feeling, i love it

I love this ❤ My favorite Velvet Underground song. It captures my loneliness perfectly

Poor gal... did she have no one show up at her bday party? thats so depressing somebody give her a big present 😭

Your art beautifully captured the emotion and depth of the music. Truly beautiful.

When I discovered this song in 2021 around the early days of enjoying music, the most surprising part about this entire song is that it sounds so modern, yet was made in 1969

it just captures the issue we alot have...loneliness and also escaping what we already want... to the one seeing this it's better to live life and go out and have fun and push yourself for new things than staying indoor for a long time

Wow, this made my day! "After Hours" has always been one of my very favorite songs, VU or otherwise, and it's amazing to see it so beautifully animated. Your sweetly melancholy illustrations and artstyle perfectly capture the vibe. Now do "I'm Sticking With You"! 😉😛🥰

it really hit me as if this song AND the animation expressed everything I wanted to express my entire life but I couldn’t because I couldn’t understand these feelings myself and this "birthday" shot (one w cake) with a lonely girl OH GOD it hit me even harder and then kicked me back

this is so well made and it hits vary close to home, but i think now it should be seen more as a cautionary tale, at least as someone who vary unexpectedly met one of the best people ever :) you dont always gotta shut people out

The colours are so incredible,, I love this sm

That zoom looks so natural and analog, awesome work!

This is so good. It needs more views.

im glad i got recommended this :) your art is super pretty and the song is very good

At first i wanted to say womp womp (i was feeling edgy), however, it was a vibe. liked

Aww, I feel like giving this little mime a hug. I can be her friend if she wants QuQ I also just love her design, the lil symbols on both her eyes, her green colored eyes and the small detail of her make-up smearing in the rain. I just love her and I hope she'll find happiness one way or another

wow... i found this video 2 days ago but left it on a tab and never really watched it until now, i must say you definitely will grow into a big channel, like you know how when you are feeling spicy, drinking too much water sometimes just make it worse, but if you give it time then when you are completely fine with the heat, you start to enjoy the taste instead. just like life, cant take the shortcut, you gotta take it slow, and surely you will achieve the dream. keep it up!!! and focus only on the qualities of your vids you'll grow in no time edits: i must say you got a talent on storytelling, you were lonely while making the vid and that feeling popped right into your art, your viewers are gonna feel the same way! honestly thats incredible

This came along, and it helped me feel seen. I'm quite introverted and enjoy most of my time alone in peace, but this week I've been lonely. My only friends all live far away, and I'm stuck living in the middle of nowhere with nothing to do. Thank you for making this animation. I feel a little less lonely now. Maybe it's time to pay my Animal Crossing villagers another visit.

I love this song so much, what a beautiful video to go with it

i like the song and the art style keep up the good work!!

Idk, it’s weird. I like people and I want to make more friends to replace the ones who’ve drifted away from me (they’re still my friends but we don’t talk often) but I’ve learned the hard way that if you become dependent on anyone to make you happy they will use you. You need to be able to be happy alone before you can start forming deep connections because as lovely as people are, the only ones who truly make you feel like you’re not alone are just using your desperation to make you into a plaything. I’ve had a lot of people who say “I love you” one second and “I don’t respect you” the other and I’ve learned that if they say the second thing they’re lying about the first. They’re not worth your time. I’ve also learned that even if they say “I’m sorry” and try to be better, the way they see you doesn’t change. They’re just acting. Pretending to care so they can use you as much as you’ll let them, never truly having a change of heart. I don’t have any energy left to spend on such people who are useless. I need to be stronger than that. I’ve always been happy alone so it’s nice knowing I could leave everyone behind if I needed to because, as much as I hate to say it, I could easily see everyone in my life trying to control me, use me, or stab me in the back at some point or the other. I still love them but if it comes down to it I will leave them behind if they pathetically hide their abuse behind “I love you.” I don’t need anyone to make me feel whole anymore and it feels liberating.

This song hits really close to home dear god Amazing work on the animation, its super pretty

I don't know if you will read this But I loved the video, I'm exactly like that... Today I'm having a bit of a bad day, and your encouragement helped make it a little better Thanks

Oh my god, I love this. I found myself relating with this character more that I'd like to admit...? But really! Beautiful art. And the little detail of their makeup washing off in the rain? Perfection.

would it be okay if i used this character as a pfp if i credit you? if not that's okay

Thanks for the new artist on my playlist. As someone who spent ~5 years in severe depression (and successfully came out of it), I think I can understand these feelings. All will pass. Life is like a falling dominoes. The most terrible things pass over time, the main thing is to push the smallest and first domino

0:43 V2 Ultrakill

she's just like me fr also i love channels like these, underground channels that animate some pretty sad-ish stuff (literalhat for one)

holy shit why does your art taste like chocolate pudding

Great song and I love your art style, despite it's simplicity you are able to convey some deep emotions. Ngl actually teared up a lil bit watching this.

I relate completely to this song. Amazing acoustic!! Deserves more views and likes.

Im getting all these underrated artists animations and im all for it

i saw the title and i was like NO WAY THIS IS WHAT I THINK IT IS cuz I have this song on my playlist and i love it
