One of the most low budget videos I've ever seen and yet she PERFECTLY captures just how easy it is to get swept away in your addiction and habits when you're grieving such an intense loss. I imagine that was completely intentional and it worked immaculately.
@@maceckstrand6849 you already are trust me- as much as it hurts you- is as strong as it makes you for what’s to come- You’ll be better for it-just be good to yourself💞
I never realized how nostalgic the smell of alcohol and perfume are to me till I read this comment, when I was young my mom often smelled like alcohol and perfume because she liked to party and go clubbing a lot
@Nightmare Strawberry Chic I personally can't stand the smell of cigarettes, alcohol & drugs. But if you like the smell of smoke than I don't judge you, after all it brings you a sense of nostalgia. But I love the smell of mint & herbs mainly because I love to cook. 🌟
Dude u got me realizing. I used to listen to this when I was a kid and sing to it thinking it’s a cool fun song but now I just be laying on da bathroom floor n shit
This song reminds me of being 3 years clean from cocaine and heavy marijuana usage, making poor decisions, and recklessness… this song is an ode to my old self. Recovered from eating disorders, and many bad memories. I was just trying to stay high to fill the void of pain I didn’t want to face. Such a beautiful song! And a BANGER
I know I’m just a stranger on the internet- but I’m proud of you! 3 years clean is so good, it’s not easy and I’m proud of you for sticking it out. Here’s to staying clean 🎉🙌
i'm struggling a lot with drug abuse too atm and reading this was actually so encouraging & comforting :') you're doing amazing and you're so incredibly strong
@@sanniedeoki you got this, I believe in you. I never thought I’d be able to get to a point where I enjoyed being sober, I now love being sober. Start with removing the people around you that do those drugs and the environments that make you want to do them, it will be a little challenging but with time you will get there. ❤️❤️
This song defined the pessimism, uncertainty, loss of hope, grind, desire to numb, and need to forget that was the 2010s zeitgeist. 10 years later and it still feels. It still feels like a moment of mine to unable to shine, but still define.
I don't mean to insult how deep this song is, and how amazing it is, but holy cow how lucky to have been one of the people in the video that straight up got to make out with Tove Lo... I'd have been in Heaven. (Edit: Spelling Correction.)
That feeling after hanging out (drinking, getting high all night) and going home feels so depressing it makes you feel so sad and you missed that person even more.
Actually i think this song is about her running away from tge memories, but in driver license it's about her reminding herself of the memories even though it gives her more pain
@@NatKhatoon The only reason they’re comparing the two songs is because they were both really popular when they first came out. They’re not saying they have the same meaning lmao.
Tove lo, when this came out I was homeless, in and out of jail, and unhealthy. Now I have a house, a good job, and a husband. This song and “Clover Cage - The Lone Dancer” are the two songs that helped with my depression. I just want everyone to know things will get better. We are in this together. I love you ❤
Its so cool seeing all these people from years ago probably forgotten rhey commented at all but to anyone who reads this i hope you have an amazing life
I hate to be the bearer of bad news..but the older u get the more songs like this hit u in the gut. The lyrics are so TRUE. The older u get the darker life is. Welcome to the beginning of getting jaded.
didn't realize how relatable this song would be one day update 2 years later I've moved on and life's actually good lmao i got jacked and got a v pretty loyal gf I'm just saying this so that whoever is in my that position 2 years back don't stop working on yourself be patient and keep fighting!!! cheers to better days!!
Definitely has been a realty for me and in the mist of times struggling for sobriety I played the shit out of this song to never forget where I came from
I remember being in freshmen year of high school riding the bus 6:30am in the morning to a school where I didn’t fit in or have any friends. This song made my day then
It’s currently 2024. While typing this, I am under the influence of 🍃: “This song such a beautiful representation of how I feel. There’s just something comforting knowing that you are not the only one feeling how you’re feeling. And then those feelings being made in to a beautiful song.”
This song came out not to long after my husband suddenly passed away. I completely understand exactly what she is saying because I've lived it. The pain of it all was far too great. It destroyed me. He passed away July 26th, 2014. This song makes me cry every time I listen to it but I still love it! RIP Kevin
Well you are going strong in 2020.... probably will keep on going for many more years to come. Don't worry....Kevin is definitely in the best place Heaven has to offer.😊😊
I remember being 14 loving this song just cause, then turning 17 having my first major heart break, screaming for hours to this song understanding every word, the turning 21 and being in such a bad place with addiction and this song brought me so much comfort, now at 24 its just nostalgic lol crazy how things come full circle
I'm 12 yet I understand this. XD I guess I'm "old enough" to know that she had to stay high to get the man she loved the most off her mind. She had to hang out with others to forget about him while she was slowly falling apart inside. It's pretty messed up once you get the true meaning of the song, and watch all those people make-out with her like that in the sex clubs.
@@sallybaaby6165 nah 5 and 6 y.o me would have just been quiet liste ing to the song Currently? I completly understand this stuff life is screwed up big time and i learned that at an early age
Melanie Godoy Personnaly, I think that loosing your loved one, especially if its your first one, is the deepest form of loss a human being can feel. Like the feeling is barely describable. Just kinda feels like your sun left and youre left there all alone to slowly rott away. You love that person so much that you can't get over her/him.
Try not to dwell on the past. You not only hold that memory but also all of the emotions that comes along with it. Those thoughts are what hurt your body, mind and soul. You can’t change the future nor the past. Live for today.
When this song VERY first came out I got addicted to crack and use to jam this shit like no tomorrow. 7 years later and I'm listening to this sober and I'm just so proud of how far I've came as a person, and how I'm not sitting in a crack house wasting my life away. Still rebuilding my whole life but man its so much better than what its been. It gets better no matter how dark it gets. Keep going.
i remember this song being a vibe when i was younger and didn't understand the lyrics, now i understand, and it's still a vibe, but for different reasons 😂
yea but without partying and weed distracting me i’d be doing worse things so as of now i’ll just deal with it and continue to lie to myself that i’m ok
I was driving the other day and some woman had this song playing, I caught a tiny bit thru her open window and had to find the song. Watching this video now makes me feel so much - I remember this feeling, especially her sitting in the bar bathroom crying. Addiction* and trauma are best friends.
4 years ago I listened to this with my girlfriend, I thought it was a catchy song. We recently broke up and I accidentally came across this song and realized that it is depressing.
that's where we are nowadays in the music industry, sadly. there are tons of examples like this. just (an)other one: 'i follow rivers'... heart breaking original version with so much tension and feeling, but ya know whut? naaa we don't need stuff like that make our brains go dump with a pure four quarter time bassdrum beat and neverchanging melodies ._.
my opinion is, that if you're doin' it properly, remixing and sampling is okay. it's just sad when people remix stuff and let music losse it's heart. it's different for people like Lil Peep for example, cause he took things and added his own ideas and creativity to it making it something completely new... there's an sample i think it wasn't even cleared (The Postal Service - Such Great Heights) in 'white tee'. that's something different in my point of view.
Searched this song for nostalgia purposes.. listened to this endlessly at a desperately tumultuous time in my life. This song captured every bit of it. Need something to numb the pain; you’re gone and I gotta stay high to keep you off my mind. Aaaahhh!!
Bro, haven't heard this song in like 4 years, randomly poped up one day and now it just hits completely different then when it did back in 2020...loved the old days..
I heard this song a couple years ago and just thought it was cool. Now I'm listening to it again. Song hits differently when you understand the lyrics and actually feel what's being said in the song.
Whenever I think of this song it truly is all when we were all younger, when we were really happy. But now playing it really does resonate with my pessimistic head
Flashbacks to when a six year old me would find my sister crying to this song after a breakup, and now being able to feel the same comfort this song gave her
@@apmaz6112 mature people can handle this types of situation due to their experience in life....but for teenagers it really hard cause they don't know enough about how life goes and how to handle different situations... I can see that in my little sister... I was the same when i was in her age So you don't have to laugh on teenagers :)
This song randomly popped into my head today. Never seen the video before, decided to give it a watch… and cried. This does a beautiful job of capturing how intertwined addiction is with grief/trauma.
I never considered this song to be about someone dying tbh. I mean, it definitely could be about death, but it always hit me as a breakup song. Definitely resonated with me after a non-mutual breakup.
It's about death for sure. If someone is suffering this hard over a break up, like "all my life" then they need serious help. Grieving people need help as well but most don't seek it. It makes a big difference when you know that person is gone forever. No FB, no IG, no bumping into them. It's over and you'll never see them and neither of you wanted this.
I remembered it today… It came out at a critical time in my life I was ending a 6 year relationship and we were engaged, bought a condo moved in together and I went in this very destructive binge drinking and partying phase to cope. This song helped me see what I was doing to myself and that I deserved to heal from it in a healthier way.
Went through it a decade ago and feeling that dead inside then I would do all kinds to feel alive again. Turns out scar tissue itches always from time to time but sure toughens the skin.
I just really like the song, mostly because this is what I was like in my early twenties and now I'm 30 getting my self on track studying to be a civil engineer (loving it BTW) and not letting myself get in this state again.
This song is not sending out the wrong example, it's art. I wouldn't personally get high to ignore my troubles but I love how this song makes me feel, like I can somehow feel the reasoning behind why this person is getting high and shit. Ahh don't listen to me people, I'm high as fucckkk.
Cioaca Cristian i think some guys who listen to this might see her as a kind of surrogate X girl friend who is in pain ... most people between 15 and 35 deal with trouble like this... it has been going on for 150 years.... i would not like it to change ..... my x ran away from home because of her mother .... she was this kind of person .... i hope she is dealing with change in a good way ...
10 years ago it came out. I understood it 7 years later, nothing got me out of that darkness until I heard this again. Not only did I understand, but I finally related .....and I realized I'm ok. I'm ok, but I'm not alone in this feeling
I honestly got really sad and emotional watching this music video. This song is simple yet raw. It's melancholic in its brutally honest depiction of heartbreak and depression. Now watching the video that goes with the song adds something even more devastating and lonelier to this already gloomy song... Watching Tove emotionally break down in certain parts of this video was so saddening because I know what it's like to break down in the dead of night all alone, and not have anyone hear you, and wanting to always separate yourself from reality because your life feels like shit.
15 year old me blasted this in my room and filmed myself crying and being dramatic lmaooo Now 21 year old me sheds a tear knowing I actually ended up going through a situation fitting to the lyrics
