PLEASE HOLD (TOO) UNHINGED | GRIAN HERMITCRAFT 10 

Is this too unhinged?

for april fools you should release an extended version of this but one layer is like 0.000001% slower than all of the other layers so by the end of the video it just sounds horrendous

Jono and Grian have us all willingly listening to hold music

Mother...I won't be home for dinner tonight....

I don't understand why Grian doesn't want to keep it, I was expecting the voices to be replaced by screams in this version...

I need to have this ready when those spam callers bother me. They will quit their job immediately. Phenomenal. 10/10

We filling out MJYAAFK06 with this one 🔥🔥

This is one of those times I wish I could animate, because I have the perfect animatic for this: Grian just vibing in the permit office (he’s the one whistling off-key while wearing headphones and sweeping up) meanwhile the song is slowly turning all the hermits into zombies, and by the end, they’re all banging on the windows of the office, and Grian, not looking at them, thinking they’re just angry hermits, puts up a sign in the window that says they’re only open on Sundays. I don’t know, I just find it really funny

You could call it "Please Don't Hold"

This super unhinged version is GREAT, but for the purposes its trying to serve, I feel like subtlety is _key!_ It has to sound completely normal for a while at the start, but slowly become more and more "off" as it goes on. It has to be subtle enough that they notice something is wrong, but because they've been listening to it for so long it feels like its all in their head. Then it kicks into full "unhinged mode" after a loooong time of playing, building up over time and reaching the point it is in this version.

I can’t stop laughing. It’s horrible. This definitely plays in the permit office backrooms.

Etho saying that the permit office’s waiting room looks like a place you’d get beaten up at 😭🙏

Barely perceptible knocking in the background would be amazing

even the warden fears this man and his unhinged creations 😭😭😭

I mean this as the most genuine compliment to what you've accomplished here: it sounds like a middle school band's rendition of Please Hold, with one father in the audience who's heard it a few too many times during his kid's practice and is subconsciously whistling along (and he's a bit tune-deaf, and not that good at whistling).

this is what scar hears after an hour of waiting

in all honesty what i'd do for a less unhinged version of this is: - remove the whistling - add more off-key notes to compensate for the above lack of whistling, including in the "singing" sections present in the original song - make it slightly slower and pitched down somewhat - make it quieter, add an echo

We should get a 10 hour version of normal song but 25% of the songs are randomly chosen to be the unhinged version

The super off key whistling is somehow the funniest thing in the world to me. I hope Grian keeps using this version for the waiting room.

Gods that "BRRRT" gives me a heartattack every time, because I used to have a really bad gpu back in the day that would cause my computer to hang, which meant whatever sound was currently playing got stuck in a .2s loop like that.

Grian dropped the music disk and broke it and now we have this.

i actually love this version so much. not even ironically i think it just scratches the itches in my brain

maybe possibly add: one part where it randomly pauses for 5 seconds and then restarts from the beggining some whispering in the background some people laughing with a very deep edited voice add a man screaming but extremely high pitched put very loud stomping at the end as though a monster is walking, and make them gradually go faster until the song restarts remove the rythm jazz chords from the replies: instead of removing the rythm the song should be slihtly out of time nails on a chalkboard distant bagpipes if you listen closely, someone would be repeating "run" and "get out" knocking door effect at one point amazing grace 1922 editoin a couple dark bible verses During the pause has grain say all done, so when they come up grain can act confuse and send them down again actually please dont thats too far

I am incredibly excited to watch grian drive more people insane

Joke's on Grian, I have this on loop.

i can't believe i willingly clicked on this video know exactly what it was

This is beyond cursed, Jono has officially embraced insanity of the Hermits he's been making music for for years, now that is epic.

Heard this in Grian’s video it’s really unhinged fitting the idea of being on hold for way too long I don’t know how you do it but you have created another masterpiece

I feel like the whistle is where it goes too far. But more of those like little glitches, and even a part where it just gets stuck like a vinyl disk player would make it even better.

The only thing needed now is the command to create a permit

Okay, but imagine an animatic of this making Grian some sorta eldritch backrooms creature as this slows and speeds up. Powered and fueled by the impatience and frustration of being put on hold

This version was really unsettling to begin with, but then the whistling came in and I couldn't stop laughing. Well done!

This should be called Please Leave

Ima make my friend's ringtone this without him knowing, just to mess with him >:3

We need some random unhinged monster sounds along with a random Mumbo Jumbo you are afk deep tone

When something is so horrible it wraps around back to good-- though that might even be a stretch for this monstrosity. The whistling really sells the painfulness of this. What a masterpiece in torment.

See the accidentals just make this real jazzy and I dig it more than the original. Might I suggest making it 15/16 meter if Grian asks for another?

Maybe make a version that randomly cuts out, and just has an odd message, like you asking to be “let out”. Like: “Hello? Anyone there? Helloooo? Please help me? Im trapped in here! Must complete Form!!! Help! On Hold! Ahhhh! Hello? Anyone there? Get help! The Permit is a lie! Can u help me? Hellooo?

If you stare long enough at the eyes, they turn red.

We could make it even worse. Have it begin to slow down over time, and add knocking (but only in one ear for the people using stereo audio or headphones).

It reminds me of "Doki Doki Literature Club". The more you played the game- the worse it went. And so did the music with these little cracks and wrong notes. Amazing.

The only thing that would make this better is if the last three minutes got progressively slower.. and slower.. AND SLOWER. Until it was just a deep rumbling base of agony. That'd take it off the last hinge it's hanging onto methinks.

It's not unhinged - it is "advanced", almost "jazzy avant garde" :)

As a fan of the magnus archives, all I'm able to imagine now is Grian as an avatar of the spiral and this plays 24/7 in his domain

this feels like the start of a hermitcraft creepypasta

It’s so jarring to listen to but my gosh does it accurately reflect life in the permit office 😂

Oh my...it just keeps getting uh better as it goes. If there's a third version...more cowbell and off time percussion.

I love the idea of a more subtle one, with things like the missed or wrong notes, a single small pause where the music cuts out for 5-10 seconds and then comes back on like nothing happened, maybe a slow morph into a definitively more creepy tune, a muffled thump at some point. I don't know what else... I saw someone suggest slowing it down and adding a faint knocking, which is pretty good. Grian is so perfect for this role, with the soulless eyes on his minecraft skin.

Changing the playback speed really messes this around like x2 is just panic attack levels, but x0.75 is just ominous like a slowly deteriorating clockwork music box.

It may be TOO unhinged, but i think its hinged just enough.

This is giving analog horror vibes and I love it

It’s even better (more unhinged) at 0.75 X speed.

I’m not gonna be able to make it, but an animatic of Grian torturing Hermits in the backrooms to this with a few jumpscares of BigB would be funny.

Okay now make a 10 hour version for the normal version with just this squashed in here and there

About as chaotic as the inside of the brain of those in the waiting room of a permit office

I had to pause Grians video to come over here and say: YOU MADMAN!!!!

I love the psychological horror, fits well with slow-pace and chill vibes of season10

Definitely more unhinged than doing a 1hr version of the original wouldve been. Took me over a minute to notice anything different

This reminds me of the escape room that Grian made for Impulse and Joel.

This sounds like a slow descent into madness….I love it. 10/10

A few seconds in and i can already tell this is gonna be great study music Edit: i'm dropping out of college

Honestly, I don't even know whatvwas Grian worried about. It is perfection!

To you in the comments that recommended to change the speed on RU-vid to 0.75x speed. You sir or madam, know the true definition of PAIN. LOL 😭

I dont see what grian was on about... this is great! this is most definitely not unhinged at all its a masterpiece!

You now have Grians' notice JONO!!!! He is smitten with you now!!!!

Calling it rn, someone is gonna put this in a "Lo-fi Beats to study and relax to compilation" video.

1:56 cowbell spam starts (ya it does get too unhinged to quickly need to slow it down for reasons)

As a music theory nerd, this harmony, though chaotic, is reall neat! Not that I love the sound, but its fun to analyze.

this reminds me slightly of llamas in hats, when the outro music descends into madness

Should add a echo like it’s playing in an abandoned mall withe old faulty speakers and make its speed up and slow down

I want you to know that listening to this when it was revealed during the episode was the funniest thing ever I cannot get over this oh my god thank you so much

I honestly prefer the not too unhinged version over this one, because this one will give anyone the goosebumps and unsettling feeling and also I can't stop laughing when I heard this on grian's video, poor joel and the future customers ( victims ) of the permit office

The eyes... wherever i move.... it's following me.... staring through my soul....

This song shows you how incredible an artist Jono is. Not only can he remix his original song, but he can make is sound so uncomfortable but it somehow still sounds good. 10/10, weirdly, I love this version.

I was searching for this yesterday, and now it actually released! Let's gooo!!!

Every time the whistling starts I just start laughing way to hard idk why 😭

Help it it starting to sound normal and even just plain good to me, have i listened too much? I need to go back to the regular version before i lose my sanity

The whistling is my favorite part of this.

As a Sparkle main, this is not unhinged. I found my self dancing along with a smile on my face, great song!

I need this on spotify

am i crazy for unironically liking this? i listened to this more than i am willing to admit.... the "unhingedness" is giving me the edge i need. this is what a soundtrack for my brain would sound like! xD

I unironically enjoy this lmao

I actually really like the whistling in the B section, I think it adds a really nice tamber

very unhinged indeed, kinda makes me wanna hear it in the everything at the end of time format

i like this version better, i like to have anxiety.

the whistle always makes me crack up for some reason😂❤

you can go even further with this. i like to imagine that the permit office is litterally sucking the soul out of its users, and placing it in this music disk. needs gut-wrenching screams of its victims, but they are dialed down with an echo effect, and grian giggling/laughing hysterically

ive been waiting for people to do things to this song as they had with coconut mall, glad to see its being done

Reminds me of the music in Act 2 of DDLC, some notes being off adds to the unsetteling

Oh my Lord. This is awful, and yet I can't stop listening. I think my brain is trying to crawl out my ears. Great job--it's perfect for the Back(waiting)rooms!

Oh my gosh…This is simultaneously the most amazing yet absolutely TERRIBLE thing I’ve ever listened to and I love it 😂 Edit: I just showed this to my younger sister and she said the whistling is Pesky Bird XDD

if i were to suggest anything, i think have the piece gradually get more and more out of key (like transpose some layers up and some down) rather than having the random off-key notes cause having it still be major feels far more creepy to me lol

Thanks, I hate it. (great work though!)

This is a wonderful masterpiece and I'm putting it on repeat. And forcing my friends to listen to it.

omg- put it on double times speed- I LOVE IT-

Grian should make the Permit Office like a little haunted building, looking seemingly innocent from the outside

This is just perfectly unhinged but it has the intention of making people leave through irritation, and we definitely would not want that.

Just needs a bit of static over it like the speakers 20 years past it's warranty

If i can still sleep after i listen to this, it needs to be more unsettling. I can still sleep. The whistle should start much later, and be a lot more faint, so you think you are going insane.

I love every subtle element that goes into this true masterpiece, including the Pesky Bird chirp.
