Savlonic - Epoch (The Living Tombstone's Remix) - Music Video 

OK, so this song isn't like what you think... no, it's not Freddy Fazbear, it's actually darker. This song is based on a book called "I Want My Hat Back" (not the DR version)! "I Want My Hat Back" is where a bear has lost his hat and asks if anyone has seen it. He comes across a rabbit with a hat (presumably the bear's hat). He asks the rabbit if he has seen a hat. The rabbit says something along the lines of "No I have not seen your hat, I would not take a hat, don't ask me any more questions." The bear doesn't ask anymore. so the bear is sad because he lost his hat. THEN he realizes that the rabbit has stolen his hat, he beats on the rabbit and eats him. At the end a squirrel says "Have you seen a rabbit with a hat around?" the bear says something along the lines of "No I have not seen a rabbit, I would not EAT a rabbit, don't ask me any more questions." referring to that he ate the rabbit to get his hat back. In this song at the end at the town part, we see signs saying "WE DEMAND JUSTICE" with a picture of a rabbit at the bottom. The bear feels guilty for what he did, so he turns himself in. Sad ain't it?

His back gets straighter every scene

“The line everyone makes mistakes” makes me believe he did not intend to kill the bunny but home saying “it’s ok cause I’m going to repair it” is him realizing that he can’t leave this to heal he needs to give closure by turning himself in to the authorities this is inthe first few kind of the song amazing

What I really love about this song is the fact that it teaches you that there are moments in life where you do something you’re not proud of. But in real life we do not get a second chance. But we can forgive ourselves and move on. This song helped me forgive myself.

When i was a kid i never was really mad at the bear for killing the rabbit- I was like "Well, The rabbit shouldn't have took the bears hat"

How grandparents tell you they walked to school:

It's been 6 years but still feels like I discovered it yesterday, and I'm happy that I got to know it as it came out 😌

bro, kekeflipnote's artstyle is recognisable every where! i seriously have a certain affection for this guy, considering we both have french genes and like art 😭

*me walking home knowing I’m about to get grounded*

sadest part for me was the part where he is spinning around his meories of being an innocent bear before walking the town where the bunny lived

This song really hits deep. Full of regret and yet hope for another chance. I was listening to this when it first came out. Can't believe it has been 7 years! Honestly feels like just yesterday I was listening to all the MLP songs that TLT was making. Love what you're doing man! Loved the drunk song that came out almost 3 years ago. Lovely tune ❤

When this song came out I was at my lowest point in life, just a dumb teen wrapping myself into dumber mistakes, letting people judge me for who I was and taking it all for granted. This song came out and at first I rejected it, made me feel even worse than I already was and cried myself to sleep, flooding horrible memories of what my life was before it went all wrong. Now, listening to it now, after never wanting it to hear it again, I’ve never been happier to listen to it, cause it was meant for me, for what my life is now, how I surpassed everything thrown at me.

Already existing English lyric captions: _Exist_ English captions: “Allow us to introduce ourselves”

I was today years old when I realized kekeflipnote animated the characters

I'm going to cry, I haven't heard this song in years and I had completely erased it from my memories. It makes me feel a very strong mix of emotions between the nostalgia, The happiness of hearing This is an incredible song again and the sadness and pain that the song itself generates.

Him slowly leaving the little birb makes me cry 😢

Fun fact: Epoch means a period of time in history or a person's life, typically one marked by notable events or particular characteristics. I've seen some theories saying that the bear's name is Epoch, so he could possibly represent an epoch?

along side his posture changing throughout the song, his expression gets more and more determined to atone for what he's done.

About 5 months ago, I lost someone close. It wasn't cinematic, and it wasn't drawn out when it first hit; a few days after we had a bad argument, I reached out and not even moment later, I was just blocked. And it was my fault. There was so much left unanswered, things they had brought up that I had no idea they were keeping from me. It all but fed whatever insecurities I had been feeling at the time, and I just lost it. I messaged them elsewhere and lashed out the most disgusting things I could, just so I could get them to feel what I was going through. I crossed lines to which I fully knew would hurt them internally. I could've walked away, and respected their boundaries, but then there's this. A moment in time which still disgusts me beyond belief. I genuinely don't care if what the things they had done were true, I just want them to be happy. Hearing this song again a few years later all but brings me back to that exact same moment in time. I always found it strange how I always cried whenever this song played, especially after hearing about the original story between the bear and the rabbit. But this time, I felt a shred of hope after hearing it again. For, it's the thought of doing whatever I can to make things just a little bit better. I haven't tried reaching out for some time, and got past this to an extent, however, the guilt is something that I can't fully shake off, and that's fine. As redundant as it sounds, seeing this animated flipnote bear turn himself in, still bearing that same look of disbelief from the beginning, was one of the best portrayals of redemption. Doing the things that you can't stand to be better, and not just for yourself. Even in the end, no matter what you do, it may not even change anything, yet, you at least tried to do something right. It's something I relate to all too well; Not being able to see or them ever again, not being able to hear them laugh or cry with me, and not being able to just give them a hug for one last time. Their voice was so sweet to listen too, I almost forgot how much it all meant. I know you won't see this but, wherever you are, I'm so sorry. I hope you're okay. When someone tells you they want you to have the best life you could ever have after being through all of that, please listen and leave them alone.

I love this song, it’s really inspiring and i heard it several times during these last years. I like the fact that I can see this song also has some type of connection with Bojack Horseman, another great show i’ve finished watching not so long ago.

When the lyrics say "Everyone makes mistake, I've had more than my share but it's OK 'cause I'm gonna repair it" hit me right in the heart.

It's almost been 5 years later and this is still a bop Edit: i changed the number from 3 to 5 but yall need to stop correcting a comment from 2 years ago fr lmao

Am I the only who realised that at the end of the song, the two inmates next to the bear, you can figure out what crimes they committed as well. The cat on the left is shown at the start on a sign saying Mom Dad and lil' Jimmy. On the bench next to that you can only see Jimmy, whose more grown up and another nameless cat with a red flower. Where are the Mom and Dad? I think what happened was since Jimmy is white and brown instead of White and black like the other cat, the Mother cheated on the father and then after having a second son which The black cat i the father of i will assume, so he realises and maybe kills the Mom and then turns himself in, while holding a blue flower. The croc on the left is easier to figure out as in the swamp segment there's a lily pad full of red flowers, most likely the grave of a lot of frogs that were dancing before. What else lives in a swamp? That's right a Crocodile. So i think the Crock killed the frogs felt bad and turned himself in.

Coming back to the song, here's my theory on the video and it's meanings and such: Okay so obviously the bear killed a rabbit, feels guilty and remorseful of it and turns himself in. What makes this more interesting in a sense is the flowers and their meanings. I think the red flower either symbolises murder or loss of innocence and the stories change depending on either interpretation. The cats for example: If the red flower means Loss of Innocence then the blue flowers surrounding the house may mean abuse. If it means murder then the child may have caused the death of another person and it got pinned on the father or the father took the legal responsibility for the incident with blue representing innocence. The frogs and alligator: If it's LoS then... honestly it's hard to tell, maybe the frogs actually did something bad maybe it's just from them being killed (being murdered would cause you to lose innocence). The orange flower the croc is holding could mean genocide or something similar. Or maybe the frogs did something and it actually means revenge. If it's murder then it follows pretty much the same thought pattern as above. The bear and the rabbit. If it's LoS then the rabbit may have done something to provoke the bear into killing them, it already had a red flower before so maybe they weren't as innocent as they appeared, who knows? That would of course lead the bear into gaining his own red flower as a result. If it's murder then... why did the rabbit have one beforehand? But perhaps following the logic of the kid cat, killing someone by accident can still be considered murder. The scene of the bear spinning around looking at pictures could have two meanings depending on if the pictures are black and white or not. He could be looking back at himself when he was innocent, maybe he's remembering someone else that he either lost or is going to lose after going to prison. All in all, pretty confusing, the visuals can be seen in a ton of different ways. Personally I think it's the LoS but all of these have holes so idk man.

The naivety yet somewhat matureness of the bear at the beginning when he says, " Everyone makes mistakes, I've had more than my share but it's okay 'cause I'm gonna repair it" really hits different after watching and listening to this song over and over realizing that he only wants redemption for his actions after the 'incident' he incurred towards the little rabbit but we all know that in life nothing is ever truly forgiven and repaired; the family will always remember him as a murderer no matter what he does and so will everyone else have that memory of him while to us he's forgiven seeing as to how he feels, reflects upon and even has the will and courage to turn himself in willingly to hopefully prove that he has truly "Had a change of heart" as he says in the song.

Me: Walking home after getting 21/43 on a science test

Lately I've been coming to listen to this work of art when I feel terrible and it reassures me that I don't want to stop listening to the song, I repeat it over and over again, God I love this song. ❤

this video reminded me of something I wish I never forgotten. thank you so much.

If you'll notice, the swamp starts with a large number of flowers, lily pads, and frogs. The scene then cuts to a different area of the same swamp, but with scattered petals everywhere and no lily pads except for one with a huge amount of flowers stacked in a pile. At the very end you can see the crocodile holding a pink flower in the cell. He murdered (presumably ate) all the frogs in that section of the swamp.

This bear or whatever he is is just trying to seek redemption and change his life and turn it around. That's a hell of a message.

i love just how well you did this, not only is the title relivent but it does so without being to direct. truely a masterpeace

Be the flame, not the moth. Humans, not places, make memories. Very few of us are what we seem. Smile today, cry tomorrow. Second chances are rare. Use your first wisely.

Guys, this was animated by Kekeflipnote, and he is literally my god.

Everyone’s talking about the story of the video, and I’m just here admiring that this video was animated in Flipnote.

this song is my favorite song ever. i keep coming back to this song after a few years. i sometimes hear the lyrics of this song playing in my head. i have a lot of memories from this song, i remember a few years back that i discovered it and it was the best thing to ever happen. i should probably save this song on a playlist or something

this remix got me through a lot when I was younger, thanks TLT ♥

Everybody gangsta till Freddy from FNAF starts walking out of the pizzeria

2017: I love this song. 2020: *crying in nostalgia*

9 year old me: Is ThAt FrEeDy FaZbEaR!?!?!?!?!?!!?

Freddy trying to convince everybody he didn’t mean to kill the night guard:

3 years later, this is still like an anthem to me.

The thing that really hits me is 2:04. The bear spinning around, seeing all his past memories and experiences, knowing he'll never go back to his old innocence again because of what he did is so sad. The song also keeps repeating "Believe", the word running through his head since he can make it better. He can redeem himself. Honestly every time I watch this song, I'm closer and closer to tearing up, and, just so you know, I'm not a person that cries. This song is just that effective through it's lyrics, visuals, and overall charm/sadness. It's also a bop, can't overlook that. Edit: This had no reason to get so popular.

I absolutely love the subtle storytelling, that happens on the backgrounds. Amazing remix of the song, love it immensely

I think I just realized that the "Believe Believe Believe" part where it shows the pictures of a polar bear aren't actually of a polar bear, but are just pictures of the brown one in black and white

This is very likely based on the book 'I Want My Hat Back' In that, a bear can't find his hat and asks around with other animals, searching for his hat. One of them is a rabbit, who is rather rude and lies about not having his hat. Later on, the bear realises that it was the rabbit who stole it, goes back, and is implied to have killed and/or eaten the rabbit, taking his hat back. A squirrel then asks him if he's seen the rabbit, with the bear lying in the same manner as the rabbit did. In this, it's implied the bear feels guilty about the rabbit's death now and goes to turn himself in. Only difference is that the hat is red and pointy, in this it’s a black top hat.

I know everyone is sad about that bunny But can we just *bear* in mind how the bear was practically depressed the whole time. He literally walked through a cemetery and everything

this is abosolutely stunning, the vocals, the music, its all amazing and beautiful

This is beautiful makes my day thank you so much for all the years of hard work. 😊

I like how this song gives the feeling of a guilty person begging for another chance, it's not just a song. It feels guilty and sad

"Can't you see ? We are free, To chose our destiny, And be the way we want to be. A second chance. You just need to Believe." My favorite part I will always remember those lyrics.

I love how you made what went from a simple novel for children about a bear wanting his hat back into a deep video about regret and redemption where the bear undergoes an entire character arc. Edit: Just thought I might leave this here; but the Colleen -Ballsniffer- Ballinger memes both improve and ruin this song for me lmaooooo

I’m sorry but I can no longer take this song seriously after the whole Colleen incident 😭

Why every The living Tombstone songs are so nostalgic?

Video captions: don’t worry we got this Caption settings: no you don’t Description: gentlemen, please

2023 and this song still slaps harder than my dad

Dang my guy i love this band. It's my favorite band ever. Keep making good songs Living Tombstone!

Heres my say on this whole theory thing going on. So the bear killed the rabbit and ran away,taking a flower the rabbit was holding He then woke up from sleep one day and went to turn himself in. He passes a house where a cat was recently arrested for abusing his family. He then goes to the graveyard to pay his respects to his victim. He keeps on going to the town to turn himself in. He passes the swamps, where recently a frog genocide went on. As he enters the town, he has flashbacks when he was a young happy innocent child, and how much of a monster he has become. As he nears the station, people(most likely the rabbits friends) look out the window and see the flower their friend had liked so much, and they now know he is the killer. The bear was turned in, and was put in prison for life. To his right cell was the frog mass murderer(the crocodile) And to his left the abusive cat. And at last, the bear's guilt was cured, and he crawled into a ball in his cell, waiting for Death to come.

Story: Bear turns himself in for murdering a bunny. Video: depressed Freddy Fazbear

A pesar de que pasan los años mi mente inconsientemente empieza a cantar partes de esta cancion, me acompaño bastante en mi infancia y siempre que la vuelvo a escuchar me da un calor agradable en el corazón, gravias the living tombstone

Someone probably explained the story behind the video but I’m just going to pinpoint really good details here in case anyone missed, and I’ll state my own view on what happened in the video. 0:04 I assume this dog collapsed halfway on his walk to his wanted destination. There’s a scar on his head but we don’t know how it happened. 0:14 He regained consciousness and continued his journey, nice symbolic cutscene of striving and continuation for character development 0:15 Snow was falling heavily, the dog’s eyes squinted and looked down at the flower, basically an act of remorse and, to me, there might also be frustration in him. 0:26 The snow was reduced in this scene. The background consists of a house and a text board “here live happily mom dad and lil’ Jimmy”, a few seconds later you see Jimmy (the small one holding a red flower, same as the dog’s) and possibly their parent who was sitting next with. This may imply that the dog possibly lost his loved one…. or does it? If the song was extended, I’d like to imagine that the dog would pass the board slowly as he’d look at what it says. Since his walking steps syncs with the music, I think the animation is intended to have that constant rhythm throughout the music and honestly this is still a great pattern of storytelling in the animation. 0:37 DAISY FIELD. The dog then walked through a field of possibly… yellow daisies? The color represents joy and cheerfulness, along with the blue shades of the sky. In contrast, the dog still held remorse but this time his eyes were more opened throughout the rest of the video. 0:47 The joy in the background we saw previously transitioned into a literal graveyard that now fit the dog’s emotions, foreshadowing the truth of his actions. It feels like all joy must come to an end, the visual transition from bright yellow to almost entirely gray makes the scene so sudden and heartbreaking. 0:58 THE FOREST. I don’t think there’s much to say in this one because the background color choices seem to tell me that we are taking a break from all the negativity. There is now a bird flying around him, all bouncy and funny to partly distract viewers from, again, the negativity implied in the video. 1:09 Rain starts. Personally I think it’s a way of representing life where sadness and happiness alternate with each other constantly and there’s no avoiding to that. It’s because the forest scene is animated during the instrumental part of the song, part where we only observe and listen to the music without hearing the vocals, it adds up the implement of the story, to me at least. The bird was gradually moving out of screen, goodbye little buddy 🦆 1:21 SWAMP. A lot of frogs dancing and beautiful pattern of lotuses. 1:31 Unlike the decent transition of the daisy scene, this one just cuts to where frogs disappeared and only lotus petals were seen on water surface. Let’s note that the 3 scenes we saw, the daisy field, the forest, and now the swamp, have the same mood transition from bright color vibes and dancing patterns to absolute sadness and emptiness. I didn’t realize until now that I could start viewing the video differently. My theory is that every fun background shown in the video shows the dog’s childhood or memories before the incident. Now that when he got older, things changed and the truth always hurts. I also realized that the said mood transitions may imply that everywhere you go, grief is inevitable and we learn to accept it as we get older. 1:36 The fact that there was only one bunch of red flowers in the middle of the swamp is deliberate. Flowers have been known for acting as an expression of love, sympathy and respect to the lost loved ones. The frogs all gone and the petals left on water could imply something horrible happened to the area and creatures might’ve left for the better. 1:42 Sun was setting, the bridge represents admirable progress where one had faced every trouble to get through. You are meeting the other side closer to the goal and you’re glad to have achieved it so far. The journey was long and tough, and your mind managed to pull it all through. 1:53 Moon was rising, the camera zoomed in the dog as he began to memorize his childhood. All memories might’ve happened in this very town he used to live in. He was innocent, pure and loving. He did not have a hat back then. 2:26 The truth was revealing. The posters in the background showed a rabbit holding a red flower with texts “WE DEMAND THE KILLER TO COME FORWARD / WE DEMAND JUSTICE”. What the dog had been doing was coming forward to where it all started during midnight as to not disturb people or be seen publicly. The ones behind those window frames were either watching or shocked to see the suspect coming back to return himself in. 2:37 The people were convinced the dog killed the rabbit (by seeing their eyes turning angry). Red flowers were placed beneath the poster shows how much the rabbit liked the flower and the dog was holding one. 2:43 And there shows the police station sign. CONCLUSION: The first seconds of the video foreshadowed the upcoming truth about the dog. He might’ve ran away from crime and lived his life far from his original home. The family’s house showed him what is was like to lose a family member after he killed the rabbit and he deeply regretted that. The graveyard scene had the same impact on him, hinting viewers that someone died and probably the dog knew better. The swamp could be where the incident happened, with red flowers piled up and disappearance of liveliness, it takes a darker turn if you think the dog drowned the rabbit there. The dog’s scar could be from their physical fight that let to one pushing another down the deep waters and leaving them there (I know from research that rabbits can swim but there are also ones that will suffer medical problems from water). The dog went to the police station and faced his own consequences as to fix and change himself rather than ran away with the same remorse that lingered everyday. 3:10 Turns out, he wasn’t the only one who did the same crime.

Here is what I think happened: the bear’s hat was stolen and he found out that the rabbit stole it, so he killed it. Then he went to sleep, just to wake up feeling guilty, and then he realized that he committed a crime. So he decided to turn hinself into the police. He past a house were a cat abusing its loved ones was arrested. He starting feeling more guilty as he reached the flowers because of the flower in his hand.then he went to the graveyard so he could pay his respects. He realized that the flower they always held was missing, but he didn’t put it near the grave because he felt he didn’t deserve to. Then he made his way to the forest where a bird asked him what was wrong, but he said he was fine. The bird kept following him in the forest as it began to rain. He made it to the pond, where a crocodile recently committed frog genocide. He made it to the town, and as he was at the town, he remembered himself just being an innocent child, but now a murder. Then he was at the neighborhood where the rabbits friends looked at the flower, and realized that it was the one that their beloved friend held most, so they knew he was the killer. Then he made it to the police station, where he was sentenced to to prison.Then he saw the crocodile who committed frog genocide and the abusive cat, holding flowers like they are guilty too, like him. But he put that thought aside and went to sleep, proving that he could repair his mistake in a way. Let me know what you think!

"People always love people more when they are dead." -Jason Reynolds

This song perfectly provides the feeling of guilt. I'm in love.

How parents tell us how they walked to school:

The song: about murder, depression, and regret Me: unfazed Yellow bird: falls behind Me: emotionally destroyed

I was today years old when I realised the character is a murderer

"Yoo it's freddy faz-" *Gunshot*

i loved this song back in the 5-6-7 grade and now its still could and i still relate to it even now in high school

E A R W O R M

still can't believe kekeflipnote animated this!! they did an awesome job

Me walking to the beat of this song BLASTING in my headphones in highschool 😌 ❤

So... is it possible this is partially a reference to the children’s book “I Want My Hat Back” in which (spoiler alert) a brown bear discovers a white rabbit stole his red hat and then ate the rabbit in retribution? 🤔

WE JUST GONNA IGNORE THAT THEY *ACTUALLY GOT KEKEFLIPNOTE ON THIS*

Pov: your looking up old animation memes for nostalgia and see this absolute banger

This song has been a pick me up for the past five years, it really motivated me to get my life together. Im doing a lot better now.

My food in the microwave be like 2:04

This is by far my favourite remix by The Living Tombstone. It has so much emotion and charm with the empowering lyrics whilst still having epic music that manipulates the usually up beat EDM sound to be melancholy. I know this comment will be lost in dark woods of the comment section (or not) but I just have to congratulate the team of TLT for making this spectacular remix.

even after years remains an absolute banger. I haven't checked your channel in awhile but if you haven't you should 100% remaster this your skills have improved and i KNOW this song would be even better.

2017: the living tombstone banger 2023: colleen ballinger epoch

it’s _my_ breakdown, *i* get to choose the music.

Weirdest thing is, every song sounds like it's original, but in reality, it's a remix

Why this song makes me feel angry and want cry too?? (I already cried so many times when I hear this song)

Savlonic, TLT, and KekeFlipnotes' animation all combine into a beautiful artistic experience

2:33 , notice in this scene they are all looking at him curiously, wondering why someone would be walking out here in the middle of the night, but in a later scene they and looking at him with angry eyes, as they have realized the flower the bear is holding is the bunny’s flower and know he is the murderer

You can see how people start getting angry when he gets close to the police station

How did i sleep on this Absolute masterpiece that made me tear up pretty hard

Essa música é importante pra mim, volto aqui pelo menos uma vez a cada ano

Me after listening to it the first time: Meh Me after coming back to this song: "I've had a change of heart"

Video: *has subtitles* English captions: *automatically turn on*

Even after 6 years this song still speaks so much to me. I Listened to this song all the time when I was 12. I'm 18 now I've changed, I just got out of a relationship that I want to still hold onto but the truth is we need to go different paths. It's time for a different chapter in our lives. Almost 8 months of my life gone but there's no point in holding on anymore.

When you are sad, this song helps improve your mood. Thank you TLT!

And this, children, is why you don't steal a bear's hat.

If somebody else commented what I’m about to say, sorry, I don’t mean to copy ónò I have a theory that this is about a book that I used to own called I Want My Hat Back. This is a book about a bear, who had a hat, but it was stolen. The bear is very polite, asking everyone if they had seen his hat. One of the animals he asked was a little white rabbit sitting in a patch of grass. Remember this. The rabbit was wearing the bear’s hat, but denied it, to keep the story moving along probably. At the end, the bear gives up, and flops down. A deer finds him, and asks him what his hat looks like. “It’s red, and pointy...” And then there is a two-page illustration tinted red of the bear. I think this is where he just *snaps*. He runs past all of the other animals to the rabbit. They have a staring contest (not really but they do squint at eachother), and then there is a picture of the bear sitting in the patch of grass. A squirrel comes up to him asking if he had seen the rabbit, but the bear denies it. I think that this video takes place a few months after this incident. The police have noticed the rabbit is missing, and the bear, filled with guilt, goes to the police station to own up.

Looks like Freddy Couldn't Bear it anymore

This song would give me a sad vibe though I suffered a lot in life and wanted to succeed my dream but seems like I can’t fix my mistakes…

What your hot pocket looks when its cooking in the microwave 2:05-2:24

The person that did the subtitles: *No need to thank me*

IM BAWLING MY EYES OUT PLEASE- 😭😭😭

Kekeflipnote did an amazing job animating this! I love it to this day!
