So much love to everyone who sent in hug videos :')
Escaping from a shelter when he was just a puppy, Jackson took refuge in the woods where he made fast friends with the other animals. Being the biggest of the animals in the group, he is a popular candidate for a warm snuggle during the bitter cold nights. He could be considered the Eeyore of the kingdom, going off on his emotional tangents about the insignificance of life and often driving everyone into an existential hole. When he's not napping or being emo, the pup likes to hide away in the bushes where he collects bones, practises spells, and sometimes accidentally summons a demon. The demons don't tend to stay long though; Jackson likes to take the opportunity to add some more bones to his collection.

Lyrics:
What's it like to be alone on a Sunday
remembering the time you saw them just yesterday?
Sing me a song, tell me your thoughts
I could listen to you all night long
And I don't care about my sleeping routine
I fucked it up as it is but we've got so much time to kill
as the night rocks me to sleep.
Remember when we felt like animations
and didn't need A grades for self validation?
Tell me about the things that you love
The world simply needs more affection 'cause
I don't care about what people think of me
I'm fucked up as it is but we've got so much time to kill
and so many things to see
Life's too short to worry about things that we got wrong
So hug all ur friends and let them know you're not letting go
I won't let go, o-oh
Did you and your friends have fun on the weekend
Nothing feels better than sleeping and sleeping in
Watch as my head falls away from the room
I would hug all my friends if they weren't friends with you
You don't know what it's like to be nothing at all
When the night turns cold my thoughts feel like stone
And it's nothing I can't change
But I can't breathe anymore
I forgot how to walk by myself
I could do with a little more of your help
Life's too short to worry about things we got wrong
So hug all ur friends and let them know you're not letting go
I'm not letting go
Life's too short to worry about things we got wrong
So hug all ur friends and let them know you're not letting go
I'm not letting go
So hug all ur friends and let them know you're not letting go
No I won't let go, o-oh

I was listening to this song in Spanish class when I realized I was getting out of my 2-year depression hole! I've come a long way and just to think that the sun just shines so much brighter on the other side. Last January I almost took my own life, but I'm glad I didn't because it led me to this point in time. I made it because of the perfect music, the people I surrounded myself with, and the feeling that always stayed inside me that I just couldn't give up. Cavetown was a main support and after listening to this song, I can't tell you how much I just wanted to sob because I almost gave up on the people who love me so much! So, for the people who feel like giving up, DON'T! It's so much brighter and clear on the other side.
I will always listen to Cavetown because the music was there for me so imma be there for it. Thank you Cavetown for helping my mental health get better! Hugs will mean so much more to me than ever before 💖

[@ItsJesMe]

Recently found this song on another artist's radio; and maybe it's the depression I've been in for the last few months, but this song just hits the spot while simultaneously tearing me up when it builds up ("...I can't breathe anymore"). When I first heard it I immediately text my best friend and she loves it too.
Now tonight, when feeling like I need a cry I just felt pulled to this song for some reason.
This is my first time watching the video and something about seeing hugs outside of the venue down the street from my apartment (Rebel Lounge, Phx, AZ, USA) just filled me with this immense sense of "community." Then, reading through the comments and virtual hugs it just felt that much warmer. Even though I wasn't aware of you when you would've been here filming that and didn't know any of your fans at that time, I still feel the love and positivity that echoes through hearing it now -- all the times this song has been heard and played and acted on -- along with everyone else.
Thank you for your music. From what I've heard from you so far, there's so much warmth, support, and positivity.
And to anyone who read this far, please accept a virtual hug from me, as well, and know that you are, have been, and will be loved.

[@ItsJesMe]

This inspired me to say something in response (to the "community" in a similar structure) (sorry it's rough, I wrote it 15 min ago):
I know you can't see me
Or hear what I say
But I hope you know
At least in some way
That you're on my mind
That you are my kind
And though you may not know it
You're part of my life
Together we listen
To that song we love
Transmitting through airwaves
In echoes above
Reverberating sound
Across the shared ground
That connects you to me
Wherever we're found
No matter when
Words carry,
No matter who
Is there, we
Are part of the
Same experience,
Lifting & lifted,
In sorrow & laughter
Before, now, & after
And I won't
be the same
Because when you flapped your wings
The cool breeze met my face
Through each person we know
And as I breathe, I hope
My wind carries you on
To wherever you're sailing...
I know you can't see me
Or hear what I say
But I hope you know
At least in some way
That you are so loved
And you always have been
Even when you can't see it
No matter what happens
And sure as my breath
Drifts into the air
I hope your lungs take in
Just how much I care
And that you, in turn,
With no fear or concern,
Echo that love back
Out into the world...
(La, ladida, ladida,
Oh oh,
Ladida, ladida,
Oh oh...)

[@HelloThere-ki5mg]

The best experience I've ever had is when I went to a church camp and at the end we were encouraged to tell our friends why we appreciated them. It was so freeing and wonderful to be able to express why I appreciate my friends for sticking by me and the amazing counselors who poured into us, and then give them the best bear hugs ever. None of us cared if the hugs went on for "too long", we were too caught up in the absolute marvelousness of the other person. Being able to see everyone for the unique masterpiece that god made them and tell them that was amazing. It was still sad though, because I had to fly back to Spain and it won't be until June that I get to see them again. However their influence in my life and the wisdom and appreciation for human uniqueness they showed me has encouraged me to be a better person, and I can't wait to see them again and tell them even more ways I appreciate them and give them more hugs.
That camp was amazing, and it was the first time I was able to be vulnerable with people. I miss my friends and the counselors sooo much, and I'm incredibly grateful for them.
Update a year later: I got to go to that camp again and it was equally amazing, somehow with even MORE hugs. I got to meet new people, and reconnect with old friends. BY FAR the most important realization that came from this was realizing that each of my Christian friends has the holy spirit living inside of them. Being able to finally comprehend what that means and not seeing the holy spirit as an impersonal ghost was so eye-opening. I actually burst into tears at the realization of how wonderfully created each and every one of my friends is. I was finally able to see them as God does, and it completely overwhelmed me with love for them. After cleaning that nasty snot off my face I went and gave each of them massive hugs and told them how amazing they are. I got to have incredible conversations with everyone there. I miss my friends more than ever, and every day I wish i could ship them over here and give them hugs.

My friend (named above) hates people touching her, which I get. And there have been very few times that I’ve hugged her, but I call her a cat cuz she’s always poking me or messing with me but I can’t touch her which I think is cute and funny. I brought up the idea a bit ago to take her to a counselor because she’s been going through stuff, and the letter that she wrote to her future self, she mentioned “the next time you see Paige, go up to her and give her the biggest hug and tell her thank you because now your better or almost there.” And that made me cry because for once in my life I felt like I didn’t let someone down. And Christina if u see this, I’m thankful for u putting up with my shit and I’d be more than happy to take that hug in the future. Love u fren❤️

Remembering the time you saw them just yesterday?
Sing me a song, tell me your thoughts
I could listen to you all night long
And I don't care about my sleeping routine
I fucked it up as it is but we've got so much time to kill
As the night rocks me to sleep
Life's too short to worry about things that we got wrong
So hug all your friends and let them know
You're not letting go
No I won't let go, oh-oh
Remember when we felt like animations
And didn't need A grades for self-validation?
Tell me about the things that you love
The world simply needs more affection 'cause
I don't care about what people think of me
I'm fucked up as it is but we've got so much time to kill
And so many things to see
Life's too short to worry about things that we got wrong
So hug all your friends and let them know
You're not letting go
I won't let go
Did you and your friends have fun on the weekend
Nothing feels better than sleeping and sleeping in
Watch as my head falls away from the room
I would hug all my friends if they weren't friends with you
You don't know what it's like to be nothing at all
When the night turns cold my thoughts feel like stone
And it's nothing I can't change
But I can't breathe anymore
I forgot how to walk by myself
I could do with a little more of your help
Life's too short to worry about things we got wrong
So hug all ur friends and let them know you're not letting go
I'm not letting go

That's just how society labels them, and me. It brings me comfort to know that there is a safe space for people like us. And that is Cavetown, his music brings me comfort and means the world to me. As a transgender, asexual, omniromantic guy I feel more comfortable sitting alone listening to Robbie's music by myself than I ever have with even my closest friends.
