When it said "Have the strength to push away all the pain of yesterday" I looked at the time and it was 12:01 AM, meaning the mental breakdown I had like 2 hours ago did indeed count as yesterday. Touché.
I’m constantly terrified that everyone hates me, even with my closest friends. I heard this song for the first time today. Not paying attention to any lyrics to the songs before. But I heard “of course your friends love you, what are you talking about?” And I swear time stopped. I instantly started crying... this song gave me some kind of hope for myself ❤️❤️
I feel like you should work through those feelings with a professional, I had the same kind of anxiety and still do. What made the difference was their help. I wish you a lot of luck, and a lot of love!
Kenderick B. I have been thinking about seeing someone for it all. But I do want to try and solve these things by myself first (I know it doesn’t sound like a good idea but I just don’t think I’m ready to try and see therapists or anything yet.) but if that never works then I’m gonna have to go see someone y’know? But thank you so much for your love and support ♥️♥️
@@renaymontoya8234 Hi, hope you're doing well. It's totally valid if you don't feel ready to talk to a therapist. Just know that there is absolutely no shame in seeking help, it doesn't make you in any way "weak" or anything like that, just like having a broken leg and going to the doctor with it doesn't. And also, things don't have to be like super serious for a person to go talk to a professional. Just so you know that it's okay... But obviously it's up to what you feel comfortable with. Best of luck & lots of love ❤
Honestly, whenever I have an anxiety attack I always feel like I am a monster because of the ugly crying faces I make and the way it feels like people see me.
i think i've worked out why this song always makes me cry it's because I don't have anyone who'll say these things to me I don't really have anyone who'll tell me that they care or that i'm worth having around I wish I did so much
hey, your worth the world we all hae comes and goes and everything will be alright I promise. and your such a wonderful person I bet, also if people dont say those things to you just remember you are loved no matter what and your worth everything.
Hey, man. Maybe you won't believe me when I tell you that I care about you. I'm just a stranger on the internet. But, I do care about you. And I want you to know that you found this song for a reason. Even if no one has told you these words, the universe gifted you this song to make sure that you hear them. Believe me when I say that you matter, even if you don't see it yourself. Be strong, alright?
If you like this song by Cavetown, may I suggest "It's Alright" by Mother Mother. Same vibes, that one is a bit more upbeat though. Both are amazing bands.
Lupine this helped me when I was having a anxiety attack cause well I can be really anxious time to time my friends know it so they put this play while I was having it it calmed little bit
I was video chatting with my best friend and “accidentally” stuck up the middle finger at her. Unfortunately her mum saw somehow.shes polish so is her mum. Her mum then took the headphones off her and started talking to me. Usually I wouldn’t mind but her accent scared me.i had a polish step mum once and she was cruel. I freaked and hung up.i think I got my best and only friend in trouble. I was on the verge of tears and automatically came to this video. This calmed me down from an anxiety attack.thnak you so much cavetown.you have no idea how much your music helps people.
the song gives me vibes of like a little brother finding their sibling outside about to jump off a bridge, and hes trying to talk them out of death, and ending up saying how much he relates to the sibling and how if he survived it, they can too.
Same, Also when it said "your heart is a candle and I won't let you blow it out" This song makes me feel beautiful 😁♥️ p.s if your feeling sad, I hope you feel better😉♥️
I’m one of those people who bottles up emotions, seems pretty cold at first glance, and very rarely cries. Within this year and all of last year, I only cried three times. Two of the times having to do with suicidal friends (nobody died, don’t worry), and once because my dog was missing for days and I thought she was dead (she turned out to be stuck in a trap wire for coyotes, and she survived). This song made me cry. It made me *sob* . Specifically the line “You’re not a monster, and no one’s gonna shut you out”. I tend to think that someday everyone in my life is just going to hate me and want nothing to do with me.. but this line just made me feel wanted, cared for, loved... I just really needed to hear this and see the lyrics... so thank you ❤️ Me, now in 2021, having a metal breakdown and relating to literally every line in this song: *ugly sobbing*
You. You are a good person. Idk what it is but i can just feel it. Keep your head up and if you ever need someone to talk to or vent to i'm here! My insta is The_dark_succubus. Have a great day or night buddy
It’s okay to cry even if you don’t want to, even if you think it makes you weak it doesn’t. You don’t need to cry every time you’re sad but just know that you can let it out every now and then. 💓
Bro, I feel your pain I suffer from anxiety as well and have had my share of panic attacks music helps me a lot too Its just so soothing with the beat of the song, the rhythm, and the words it all just drowns everything out
Same. I want to rant about this because I'm so pissed looking back on it, so please ignore if you want Ok so I was in a shop, minding my own business, my younger siblings trying on shoes. Then a substitute teacher who worked for my old school (who caused me to develop the anxiety in the first place and has made me not trust teachers at all) walked near me and gave me a dirty look. I panicked, and remembered some bad memories, so I went to my mum and told her. She told me I was probably overreacting because the sub teachers scared me and brought back bad memories. THEN THIS BITCH GOES TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE AISLE AND DOES IT AGAIN WITH A DISGUSTED SIGH! My mum kinda looked at her like she was crazy because she had no reason to do that???? And I started having a big anxiety attack and obviously, couldn't do that in public, I was going to embarrass the hell out of myself, this was just making the attack worse. But I started listening to this song, and while it didn't stop the attack completely, it helped so so so much. My mum was beating herself up after saying she should've said something to that absolute cow, but it probably would have made the anxiety even worse. Sorry just had to get that out of my system. I have Cavetown to thank for making music because it helps me in so many different ways.
To all the people who don't have someone to tell them this stuff, how about we tell each other. Edit: I can’t believe it’s been over a year since I posted this. I hope everyone is doing ok, and if not don’t worry, it’ll get better. Happy upcoming Easter y’all!
I have someone I’m going to sing this to one day, whenever she’s upset. Though I might replace ‘mom and dad love you, you can come home now’ with ‘both my parents think you!re cool, you can come to my house’
nothing's happened you can calm down now. youre not a monster, and no ones gonna shut you out. mom and dad love you you can come home now. of course your friends love you, what are you talking about? have the strength to push away, all the pain of yesterday, cause there's nothing worth crying about your heart is a candle and i wont let you blow it out. so what, you messed up at least it won't happen again everytime i screw up I feel like let down all my friends stumbling through a thousand stars and neon cars break through my skull (stumbling throughout a thousand stars and neon cars break through my skull) there's so much life out here in space it's crazy that we're here at all ( theres so much life out here in space its crazy that we're here at all)
No matter how old or new the song is, Robbie always made and still makes music that can calm me down and make me smile. I know I’ll need this one in the near future and I know others will too.
I was just having a panic attack and my playlist was playing in the background and I kinda came out of it and this song was playing and made me feel loads better
The memories of playing Minecraft and listening to this while crying (something I very rarely do because my emotions are weak as hell) are hitting me. And it was only a few months ago.
Tbh that's the obly part of the song that feels hollow to me cuz my parents are kinda physchopaths but it's nice to see that it can reassure so many individuals
I really needed this song rn, I'm on the verge of a panic attack and I went onto CZcams to see if music would help and this popped up, its helping so damn much. (I'd explain why but it's a long story and I dont think anyone would care)
Me too! I also care a lot! You may not know me and I may not know you but I would love to hear the story. Like what Wafflepop The Weirdo said, your problems are as important as all of ours and there are a lot of people willing to listen. Even when it may not seem like it. You are doing great and I hope you have an amazing day/night/afternoon! Keep up thr good work!
If you ever need someone to talk to im here for you. also if you need another calming song try "Here comes a thought " Steven Universe its super helpful for calming me down
We all are strangers but we don't need to be friends in order to help one another well be here if you need someone to talk to! I hope your doing better now!
This song has saved me from so many bad moments and just did again. I was having a panic attack since last night, and woke up with it in the morning. This song helped me to breathe, relax, and steady my heartbeat. I am safe. I am loved. I am healthy. I’m alright. Nothing is happening in this moment. I’m not a monster. I’m safe. I’m truly safe.
Leah Wilson Though I don't know you on a personal level, I understand your pain. Last year, people who I considered dear friends left me alone. It's been about a year and three months and I still have trust issues and such, but I am working through it, and I don't know if this will mean anything to you, but you can, too. In fact, you will. It turns out, as cheesy as it sounds, my real friends that I've found now were there the whole time in the background, and they have helped me and are helping me tremendously. There will be people, good people, good friends who won't leave you no matter how hard it gets. And I understand that it's so, so hard to get up and go and feel loved and alive again. But even if there is nobody in your life right now that you consider a real friend, there will be. And they will be so much better than your fake friends. Real friends wouldn't and will not leave you. Real friends are rare, but you will find them, or maybe just one or two of them, but they're out there, I promise you. And maybe, just maybe you already know them, and wouldn't have thought for a second that you could be such good friends with them in the future. But maybe there isn't anyone in your life like that right now, and that's okay. There will be. I promise you. And I know that I'm a stranger to you, but I want to make sure that you hear this from somebody who has experienced your pain and heartache and hopelessness. It's going to be okay. Yes, you might have some trust issues among other things, but there will be a day in the near future when you feel genuinely happy again. And I know that's hard to believe, but it's true. I wish you well, Leah. ❤️
This song just like most of cavetown songs, touches my heart. Lifes always going to be difficult but eventually we learn how do handle things. For everyone who isn't okay i hope you guys understand that its okay to not be okay. Its difficult to reach out and ask for a conversation or if you can vent, but know that there will always be someone there to hear you out^^
Omg, I wish I can just press like a million times. I feel like one like isn't enough 'cuz it's cavetown and I love cavetown. Not to mention the quote at the end of the vid. Aah, beautiful. And also one last thing, can I request a lyric vid for AJR's Netflix Trip?😶😶😶😶
all of these lyrics are so emotional and meaningful for me and then there's just "neon cars break through my skull" like I was just vibing to this the first time I heard it and being like "I connect with this so muc- neon cars are...what now!?"
the 8 dislikes were the people who were listening but got distracted when they were trying to tell their friends how good this song was and they *accidentally* missed the like button
Sometimes I dislike videos because I'm trying to dislike the dislikers lmao And I've actually done that before (accidentally missed the like button) Sometimes I unlike videos because I'm trying to double like it I don't think about it when I do this stuff though and it always cracks me up
okay but I actually started crying during this song, like I can relate to everything. It made me feel not alone and happy that its a normal thing a lot of people deal with. Robbie has saved our lives
My father hates both gays and transexuals. I'm not either, but if I was, I'm not sure my father would even look at me. He's... not the best father even then.
My best friend sent me this and I don't know why, but I just broke down crying. The song has barely started but I broke down because I was so close to giving up and just seeing that she sent this to me at 4:30 am made me cry
i feel like this song was made for me. it pulled me through 2019. some days it was the only thing that brought me comfort. i just graduated high school a week ago, and i finally finally have friends and people to say these things to me. i'll never forget how it felt in those dark times though. to my past self, and anyone else out there, i love you, and i promise it gets better. just breathe. my heart is a candle, and it didn't blow out
"Mom and dad love you, you can come home now" "Of course your friends love you, what are you talking about?" That almost made me cry, and I very very rarely cry at music.
mum and dad love you, it makes me so happy because this song is so encouraging for those dealing with pain, "have the strength to push away all the pain from yesterday" really helps me too.
this song hit hard. I have struggled with social anxiety for YEARS, and for those people who don’t know, social anxiety is when you hate yourself, and think that everyone else hates you too! When he said “no one’s gonna shut you out” that’s when I felt tears come to my eyes
“Of course your friends love you, what are you talking about?” I was in the middle of folding laundry when I heard that, and I just… felt something. It almost brought me to tears. I would have, but mum was in the room, and I didn’t want to cry and explain to her. I only have a few close friends (I can count them with my hands). It was a time where i didn’t get any messages from said friends. So that day, Pushing past my anxiety, I sent a message, but I got no reply. So, I numbed my emotions to avoid feeling sad, I went on my day. So hearing this, on that day… it just made me feel a wave of emotions. Relief being the strongest. I just needed to hear it. I wanted to hear someone say this. But I got no one currently to tell me what I need. Eventually when I got alone time, I listened to this again and just let myself cry.
I know not a single person is gonna see this so, I can pretty much say whatever I want…I heard this for the first time today and the second it said “You’re not a monster and no one’s gonna shut you out.” I just started crying and I’m not one to just start crying when I hear things like that…I think this just saved my life…seriously…thank you, legitimately thank you
I hope your okay, I don't know you but you are not a monster just like the song says and I hope you keep on living. I'm not really sure what else to say but you're doing a great job you've come so far!
I'm dissociating super hard rn so this is nice. Thanks for posting the lyrics, I can never concentrate on songs without being able to read the lyrics at least once.
I needed this. I'm laying in bed, in my pitch black bedroom, still a little drunk, and having a whole mental breakdown. If you see this, it's going to be okay. Listen to what this song says. I love you. Keep pushing forward. It's okay if you messed up today. I messed up too. And tomorrow is a new day and if no one else will forgive you, I do. Take a deep breath and have a good day/night. I'm proud of you
I- thank you. This...this is what I've needed to hear all these years. This song, is what truly started my journey to healing. This honestly changed my life. I've been going on the uphill climb since. I've become a more stable person.
I started crying in like the first few lyrics, this hit hard. This song really gets to me bc I don't hear these things often and I believe that I am a monster or that everyone hates me, and most of the time I can't cry, it's like my body doesn't let me. And most of the time if not all the time I feel like I'm useless and ugly and not enough but what even is enough? I know nobody's going to read all of this but if you did thank you.
Your an amazing person (I mean probably) from what u said. No one deserves pain or sadness live in the moment be you and dont let ANYONE stop you from being unhappy and most importantly talk to someone you trust a good friend will listen or a family member or even a pet just dont keep it in. I hope this helped and remember people care about you even if you dont think so
Cavetown makes a lot of songs about saying you're not a monster..... And I'm glad they do. Sometimes I really feel like a monster and somebody saying I'm not a monster just makes me feel better.
"mum and dad love you, you can come home now" hit hard for when I used to run away a lot to see if my parents would ever notice me gone (they didn't except for my dad sometimes.)
To anyone reading this I highly recommend art! Anytime i get anxious or scared, I like to splat the colours of my emotions on a canvas or scribble down my fears in a notebook. Once your feeling have physical form in the shape of art, it makes it much easier to understand your emotions. Or at least thats how it worked for me! Goodluck my cherrubs, have a great day :)
[INSTRUMENTAL] Nothing's happened, you can calm down now, You're not a monster, and no-one's gonna shut you out. Mum and Dad love you, you can come home now, Of course your friends love you, what are you talking about. Have the strength to push away All the pain of yesterday, 'Cause there's nothing worth crying about. Your heart is a candle, and I won't let you blow it out. [INSTRUMENTAL] So what, you messed up, at least it won't happen again, Every time I screw up, I feel I've let down all my friends. Stumbling through a thousand stars and neon cars break through my skull ( Stumbling through a thousand stars and neon cars break through my skull) There's so much life out here in space it's crazy that we're here at all (There's so much life out here in space it's crazy that we're here at all) [INSTRUMENTAL] For anyone who wanted the lyrics. Have a great day! ♡
this song saved my life about a year ago now. i was listening to really sad music, a blade in my hand, i was ready. this came on, and i stopped for a moment, and i thought.. and i cried.. and here i am today :)
Oh my god 🥺 Cave town has been my favorite singer for years and his music has helped me through some really rough times and here he is helping me out again, thanks cavetown ❤️
I've listened to this song in my own time, but having it sent to you with the message "This is true about you, and never forget it" is an entirely different experience
I have friends that care about me all the time, but sometimes the voices in my head tell me that they don't so I kinda doubt they care for me. So I use this song to make me remember that my friends to care and love me.
Last night I had the most awful nightmare in weeks. Someone hacked all my accounts and phone, then came to my house and tried to kill me. We managed to call the police but when I looked at my phone and computer there were scary pictures, awful things said and all my friends were messaged something terrible. I even found my art that I actually drew yesterday completely deleted. I started crying then I woke up. Usually I have more loud upbeat songs to wake me up but I instead came here to calm down… Thank you Robin for always having great music I can listen to when I’m having a rough time. “Nothings happened, you can calm down now” I really needed that
“Mom and Dad love you, you can come home now” I always think about running away, but these lyrics always pop into my head, and they always manage to stop me in my tracks.
Cavetown takes your problems and puts them into a calming song. I love their music because it calms me no matter what. No matter what happens Cavetown’s music can always make me feel safe, calm, and ok.
I love lines "of course your friends love you what are you taking about" even tho I know it's not true and part about parents hits even deeper 'cause I really don't feel like my dad loves me, but still, somehow hearing this makes me calmer
i just talked to my friend today, and I found this in my recommendation. it was a conversation filled with "I'm sorry," "this is my fault," and "thank you." it was exactly what I needed to hear and having this song will always remind me of that moment, and ill always keep this video and song close to me. this accurately describes everything I was feeling, and the lyrics seem like what my friend was telling me. thanks.
“Your not a monster and no ones gonna shut you out” hit really hard because the whole reason I’ve been having anxiety attacks is because my best friend stopped talking to me and is completely ignoring me for no reason Also “your heart is like a candle and I won’t let you blow it out” is SUCH a smart line I’ll let you figure out why
Hey, I'm really sorry it's been taking so long! I'm working on the video right now. I guess I underestimated how busy I am! I should have it up by tonight and again I'm so sorry for the wait!
this summer has been the worst summer ever for me. my mental health has never been more screwed. i will literally sleep for the whole day because i’m so mental exhausted and out of energy. i have cried everyday and it’s gotten so bad to the point i’ve wanted to end my life multiple times or ask to go on meds. this song and “i promise i’m trying” have been one of the reasons i’m still here. i can cry to this and ill be okay. i’m so happy i got to be alive the same time cavetown is making music.

The song Poison might have to deal with trust issues
The way i felt this
Honestly, whenever I have an anxiety attack I always feel like I am a monster because of the ugly crying faces I make and the way it feels like people see me.
This song: *wraps you in a sweater and offer a hot chocolate* Y O U' R E *N O T* A M O N S T E R
i think i've worked out why this song always makes me cry
it's because I don't have anyone who'll say these things to me

Cavetown literally made a song to listen to while having an anxiety attack
or when extremely depressed
If you like this song by Cavetown, may I suggest "It's Alright" by Mother Mother. Same vibes, that one is a bit more upbeat though. Both are amazing bands.
Lupine this helped me when I was having a anxiety attack cause well I can be really anxious time to time my friends know it so they put this play while I was having it it calmed little bit
I'm pretty late, but he has another called 'Talk to me'. It gives of a way different vibe, but its great nontheless
True except the majority of my attacks are while I'm at school
Any song from Cavetown makes me feel both sad and happy, yet calm and soothing. Bless cavetown 🙏
I love your pfp
That's Lofi in a nutshell
Oh my god, same
I know right these songs are like medicine to my brain
I think this song just saved my life
this is not even meant as a joke
I needed this
This song kept me from running away, still does.

I’m one of those people who bottles up emotions, seems pretty cold at first glance, and very rarely cries. Within this year and all of last year, I only cried three times. Two of the times having to do with suicidal friends (nobody died, don’t worry), and once because my dog was missing for days and I thought she was dead (she turned out to be stuck in a trap wire for coyotes, and she survived). This song made me cry. It made me *sob* . Specifically the line “You’re not a monster, and no one’s gonna shut you out”. I tend to think that someday everyone in my life is just going to hate me and want nothing to do with me.. but this line just made me feel wanted, cared for, loved...

It’s okay to cry even if you don’t want to, even if you think it makes you weak it doesn’t. You don’t need to cry every time you’re sad but just know that you can let it out every now and then. 💓

Awe! I’ve been doing a lot better recently, but thank you! Seeing people being so nice really helps a lot! Thank you!
Every time i have an anxiety attack i listen to this and it makes me feel so much better.
Bro, I feel your pain
I suffer from anxiety as well and have had my share of panic attacks
music helps me a lot too
Its just so soothing with the beat of the song, the rhythm, and the words it all just drowns everything out
My panic attacks only happen during school... And they don't allow music ರ╭╮ರ
Anxiety can go jump off a microwave ;-;
Same. I want to rant about this because I'm so pissed looking back on it, so please ignore if you want
Ok so I was in a shop, minding my own business, my younger siblings trying on shoes. Then a substitute teacher who worked for my old school (who caused me to develop the anxiety in the first place and has made me not trust teachers at all) walked near me and gave me a dirty look. I panicked, and remembered some bad memories, so I went to my mum and told her. She told me I was probably overreacting because the sub teachers scared me and brought back bad memories. THEN THIS BITCH GOES TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE AISLE AND DOES IT AGAIN WITH A DISGUSTED SIGH! My mum kinda looked at her like she was crazy because she had no reason to do that???? And I started having a big anxiety attack and obviously, couldn't do that in public, I was going to embarrass the hell out of myself, this was just making the attack worse. But I started listening to this song, and while it didn't stop the attack completely, it helped so so so much. My mum was beating herself up after saying she should've said something to that absolute cow, but it probably would have made the anxiety even worse.
Sorry just had to get that out of my system. I have Cavetown to thank for making music because it helps me in so many different ways.

An underrated masterpiece

Mad facts
this song- if i told it to someone who liked cavetown's songs i bet 70 dollars they wouldn't know this song
I have someone I’m going to sing this to one day, whenever she’s upset. Though I might replace ‘mom and dad love you, you can come home now’ with ‘both my parents think you!re cool, you can come to my house’
that’s genius!! i hope my friends feel as loved as yours must :]
Thank you for that line, the "mom and dad love you" line always just hurts so bad

nothing's happened
you can calm down now.
youre not a monster,
and no ones gonna shut you out.
mom and dad love you
you can come home now.
of course your friends love you,
what are you talking about?
have the strength to push away,
all the pain of yesterday,
cause there's nothing worth crying about
your heart is a candle and i wont let you blow it out.
so what, you messed up
at least it won't happen again
everytime i screw up I feel like let down all my friends

uwu moment right here and I like it
No matter how old or new the song is, Robbie always made and still makes music that can calm me down and make me smile. I know I’ll need this one in the near future and I know others will too.
"Your heart is a candle, and I won't let you blow it out."
I needed to hear that.
I was just having a panic attack and my playlist was playing in the background and I kinda came out of it and this song was playing and made me feel loads better
That happened to me too...
Wacc
The memories of playing Minecraft and listening to this while crying (something I very rarely do because my emotions are weak as hell) are hitting me. And it was only a few months ago.
I am emotionally weak, it's easy to make me cry
Nobody:
Not a single soul:
My eyes:
*gotta chase the opening music left and right through my headphones until I get a splitting headache*

Me TOO
Oh no I saw this and did it now I have a headache o.O
😂I was wondering if anybody else was doing the same
" mum and dad love you, you can come home now " I felt that hit my soul
Tbh that's the obly part of the song that feels hollow to me cuz my parents are kinda physchopaths but it's nice to see that it can reassure so many individuals
my parents are divorced and my father was abusive soo yk 😃
I really needed this song rn, I'm on the verge of a panic attack and I went onto CZcams to see if music would help and this popped up, its helping so damn much.
(I'd explain why but it's a long story and I dont think anyone would care)
Me too! I also care a lot! You may not know me and I may not know you but I would love to hear the story. Like what Wafflepop The Weirdo said, your problems are as important as all of ours and there are a lot of people willing to listen. Even when it may not seem like it. You are doing great and I hope you have an amazing day/night/afternoon! Keep up thr good work!
If you ever need someone to talk to im here for you. also if you need another calming song try "Here comes a thought " Steven Universe its super helpful for calming me down
Hey, I'd care
We all are strangers but we don't need to be friends in order to help one another well be here if you need someone to talk to! I hope your doing better now!
i care
This song has saved me from so many bad moments and just did again. I was having a panic attack since last night, and woke up with it in the morning. This song helped me to breathe, relax, and steady my heartbeat. I am safe. I am loved. I am healthy. I’m alright. Nothing is happening in this moment. I’m not a monster. I’m safe. I’m truly safe.
I needed this.
I know so many people out there who need this too.
@Rachael Miller thank you, i do appreciate it. I hope i can be here for you as well.
1 2 7 3 my mother does not love but that’s okie cause I got a great dad who’s fighting to get custody of meeee
i hope things turn out ok for you!
You're doing great! Hold on even if your mother gets custody
_Good luck! Hope things are going well for you now_
How's it going? Are you still with your mother??? Happy holidays :D
I hope your father got custody! Happy holidays to you! :) my mother got my custody recently and I'm so happy!
“ of course your friends love you “
*Why’d they all leave then.*
Leah Wilson Though I don't know you on a personal level, I understand your pain. Last year, people who I considered dear friends left me alone. It's been about a year and three months and I still have trust issues and such, but I am working through it, and I don't know if this will mean anything to you, but you can, too. In fact, you will. It turns out, as cheesy as it sounds, my real friends that I've found now were there the whole time in the background, and they have helped me and are helping me tremendously. There will be people, good people, good friends who won't leave you no matter how hard it gets. And I understand that it's so, so hard to get up and go and feel loved and alive again. But even if there is nobody in your life right now that you consider a real friend, there will be. And they will be so much better than your fake friends. Real friends wouldn't and will not leave you. Real friends are rare, but you will find them, or maybe just one or two of them, but they're out there, I promise you. And maybe, just maybe you already know them, and wouldn't have thought for a second that you could be such good friends with them in the future. But maybe there isn't anyone in your life like that right now, and that's okay. There will be. I promise you. And I know that I'm a stranger to you, but I want to make sure that you hear this from somebody who has experienced your pain and heartache and hopelessness. It's going to be okay. Yes, you might have some trust issues among other things, but there will be a day in the near future when you feel genuinely happy again. And I know that's hard to believe, but it's true. I wish you well, Leah. ❤️
can I be your friend
oh wow that happened with me too
I'll never leave....
People who leave aren't your friends

This song just like most of cavetown songs, touches my heart. Lifes always going to be difficult but eventually we learn how do handle things. For everyone who isn't okay i hope you guys understand that its okay to not be okay. Its difficult to reach out and ask for a conversation or if you can vent, but know that there will always be someone there to hear you out^^
Omg, I wish I can just press like a million times. I feel like one like isn't enough 'cuz it's cavetown and I love cavetown. Not to mention the quote at the end of the vid. Aah, beautiful. And also one last thing, can I request a lyric vid for AJR's Netflix Trip?😶😶😶😶
MaliceIn MadLand oooof I love Ajr. Legendsss
We all love Robbie
all of these lyrics are so emotional and meaningful for me and then there's just
"neon cars break through my skull" like I was just vibing to this the first time I heard it and being like "I connect with this so muc- neon cars are...what now!?"
Im having a panic attack and listening to this, i promise im trying, and all good till i feel better. It helps
Alex Stowe is you ever need someone to help, this also isn’t out of pity, I’m struggling too. But I wanna help. Lemme know okay?
2:21 "so what you've messed up at least it won't happen again" this is why cavetown is my comfort artist
the 8 dislikes were the people who were listening but got distracted when they were trying to tell their friends how good this song was and they *accidentally* missed the like button
Nah they just liked it so much they turned their phone upside down just so they could like it again
Sometimes I dislike videos because I'm trying to dislike the dislikers lmao
And I've actually done that before (accidentally missed the like button)
Sometimes I unlike videos because I'm trying to double like it
I don't think about it when I do this stuff though and it always cracks me up
"mum and dad love you, you can come home"
"youre not a monster, and nobodies going to shut you out" SOBBING
"So what you messed up, at least it won't happen again."
*That hit different.*
okay but I actually started crying during this song, like I can relate to everything. It made me feel not alone and happy that its a normal thing a lot of people deal with. Robbie has saved our lives
My family is very transphobic so cavetown songs just make me feel better about everything
Cursed Spider that’s an Oof that they are transphobic ( and u should feel better cause this song is rad).
My father hates both gays and transexuals. I'm not either, but if I was, I'm not sure my father would even look at me. He's... not the best father even then.
My friend wants to be a boy and I’m ok with that because I want to be a boy too and then sometimes I’m comfortable in my body so I’m confused
@@Fancy-candles maybe you're genderfluid?
@@AngieAJ ok
My best friend sent me this and I don't know why, but I just broke down crying. The song has barely started but I broke down because I was so close to giving up and just seeing that she sent this to me at 4:30 am made me cry
i feel like this song was made for me. it pulled me through 2019. some days it was the only thing that brought me comfort. i just graduated high school a week ago, and i finally finally have friends and people to say these things to me. i'll never forget how it felt in those dark times though. to my past self, and anyone else out there, i love you, and i promise it gets better. just breathe. my heart is a candle, and it didn't blow out
I’m so glad it got better for you :)
Also, congratulations on graduating
@@atsuart6670 thank you!! :))
Congrats on graduating!
“Your not a monster, and no ones gonna shut you out”
This song, in fact all of cavetowns songs make me feel so valid and calm.
That’s strange to me .. they destroy my soul .. I’m sure my “stalker” feels good about my pain about right now.
This song just saved my life and from a anxiety attack thank you Cavetown and everyone here🖤
here before it hits 1 million.
this makes me cry. I needed this song
Omg im gonna cry just 3 lyrics in i need this
Him: Nothing's happened, you-
You: 😭😭
THE COMMENTS OF THE COMMENTS ARE SO WHOLESOME
"Mum and dad love you, you can some home now
of course your friends love you, what are you talking about?"
*begins sobbing*
"Mom and dad love you, you can come home now"
"Of course your friends love you, what are you talking about?"
That almost made me cry, and I very very rarely cry at music.
mum and dad love you, it makes me so happy because this song is so encouraging for those dealing with pain, "have the strength to push away all the pain from yesterday" really helps me too.
this song hit hard.
I have struggled with social anxiety for YEARS, and for those people who don’t know, social anxiety is when you hate yourself, and think that everyone else hates you too!
When he said “no one’s gonna shut you out” that’s when I felt tears come to my eyes
“Of course your friends love you, what are you talking about?”
I was in the middle of folding laundry when I heard that, and I just… felt something. It almost brought me to tears. I would have, but mum was in the room, and I didn’t want to cry and explain to her. I only have a few close friends (I can count them with my hands). It was a time where i didn’t get any messages from said friends. So that day, Pushing past my anxiety, I sent a message, but I got no reply. So, I numbed my emotions to avoid feeling sad, I went on my day.
So hearing this, on that day… it just made me feel a wave of emotions. Relief being the strongest. I just needed to hear it. I wanted to hear someone say this. But I got no one currently to tell me what I need. Eventually when I got alone time, I listened to this again and just let myself cry.
Dude, if you need an internet friend, I'd be glad to get to know you.
this song makes me feel like someone's really there it's crazy
"Every time I screw up, I feel I've let down all my friends" This is relatable and also not relatable at the same time.
The feels really hit at 1:26
I wish I knew this song was around sooner
I found this when I was feeling suicidal, and when he said “your heart is a candle and I won’t let you blow it out” it hit different
Still one of THE comfort songs for me. I love this hidden gem
I just need this on loop for hours, very helpful for staring at the ceiling from 12-6am
Hearing 'Nothings happened, you can calm down now' really knocked the wind out of me, I didn't know I needed to hear those words this badly
Thanks to my crush for letting me know this song exists, it hits on a whole new level. I needed to hear this.
"Mom and Dad love you" I needed to hear this.. it might not be true but I'm happy I've heard this.
I know not a single person is gonna see this so, I can pretty much say whatever I want…I heard this for the first time today and the second it said “You’re not a monster and no one’s gonna shut you out.” I just started crying and I’m not one to just start crying when I hear things like that…I think this just saved my life…seriously…thank you, legitimately thank you
I hope your okay, I don't know you but you are not a monster just like the song says and I hope you keep on living. I'm not really sure what else to say but you're doing a great job you've come so far!
Thank you…so much
I'm dissociating super hard rn so this is nice. Thanks for posting the lyrics, I can never concentrate on songs without being able to read the lyrics at least once.
I needed this. I'm laying in bed, in my pitch black bedroom, still a little drunk, and having a whole mental breakdown.
If you see this, it's going to be okay. Listen to what this song says. I love you. Keep pushing forward. It's okay if you messed up today. I messed up too. And tomorrow is a new day and if no one else will forgive you, I do. Take a deep breath and have a good day/night. I'm proud of you
I- thank you. This...this is what I've needed to hear all these years. This song, is what truly started my journey to healing. This honestly changed my life. I've been going on the uphill climb since. I've become a more stable person.
I started crying in like the first few lyrics, this hit hard. This song really gets to me bc I don't hear these things often and I believe that I am a monster or that everyone hates me, and most of the time I can't cry, it's like my body doesn't let me. And most of the time if not all the time I feel like I'm useless and ugly and not enough but what even is enough?
I know nobody's going to read all of this but if you did thank you.
Hey
Same :/
Your an amazing person (I mean probably) from what u said. No one deserves pain or sadness live in the moment be you and dont let ANYONE stop you from being unhappy and most importantly talk to someone you trust a good friend will listen or a family member or even a pet just dont keep it in. I hope this helped and remember people care about you even if you dont think so
This song helps me through a lot thanks and I mean a lot
Cavetown makes a lot of songs about saying you're not a monster..... And I'm glad they do. Sometimes I really feel like a monster and somebody saying I'm not a monster just makes me feel better.
"mum and dad love you, you can come home now" hit hard for when I used to run away a lot to see if my parents would ever notice me gone (they didn't except for my dad sometimes.)
“Mum and dad love you, you can come home now.”
I was having a good time scrolling through CZcams and you hit me with this...
To anyone reading this I highly recommend art! Anytime i get anxious or scared, I like to splat the colours of my emotions on a canvas or scribble down my fears in a notebook. Once your feeling have physical form in the shape of art, it makes it much easier to understand your emotions. Or at least thats how it worked for me!
Goodluck my cherrubs, have a great day :)

Nothing's happened, you can calm down now,
You're not a monster, and no-one's gonna shut you out.
Mum and Dad love you, you can come home now,
Of course your friends love you, what are you talking about.
Have the strength to push away
All the pain of yesterday,
'Cause there's nothing worth crying about.
Your heart is a candle, and I won't let you blow it out.

• M ø n s t e r • C a n d e h • well, it is kind of fun to type out the lyrics if ur bored :3
this song saved my life about a year ago now. i was listening to really sad music, a blade in my hand, i was ready. this came on, and i stopped for a moment, and i thought.. and i cried.. and here i am today :)
Oh my god 🥺
Cave town has been my favorite singer for years and his music has helped me through some really rough times and here he is helping me out again, thanks cavetown ❤️
Into the playlist of crying myself to sleep-
Cavetown always finds ways to make me feel safe :) it’s so calming
I've listened to this song in my own time, but having it sent to you with the message "This is true about you, and never forget it" is an entirely different experience
Don't mind me, just commenting so CZcams recommends this to more people because a lot of people seem to have really needed this song...
Listening to this with headphones hits different
I have friends that care about me all the time, but sometimes the voices in my head tell me that they don't so I kinda doubt they care for me. So I use this song to make me remember that my friends to care and love me.
Dont listen to the voices they arnt their if you dont believe they are
It's amazing how this can be simple yet insanely meaningful all at the same time... I love it
Last night I had the most awful nightmare in weeks. Someone hacked all my accounts and phone, then came to my house and tried to kill me. We managed to call the police but when I looked at my phone and computer there were scary pictures, awful things said and all my friends were messaged something terrible. I even found my art that I actually drew yesterday completely deleted. I started crying then I woke up. Usually I have more loud upbeat songs to wake me up but I instead came here to calm down… Thank you Robin for always having great music I can listen to when I’m having a rough time.
“Nothings happened, you can calm down now” I really needed that
This song makes me wanna lay down and just cry all night. As a constant, constant over thinker, this song makes me feel serene
God I wish I could give this song to a younger me,, it literally quells all of my anxieties I had a couple years ago
“Mom and Dad love you, you can come home now”
I always think about running away, but these lyrics always pop into my head, and they always manage to stop me in my tracks.
Cavetown takes your problems and puts them into a calming song. I love their music because it calms me no matter what. No matter what happens Cavetown’s music can always make me feel safe, calm, and ok.
OUCH
THIS SONG REALLY JUST PULLED AT MY HEART STRINGS??
This song is what I need to listen to when my crippling fear of rejection gets out of control
I love lines "of course your friends love you what are you taking about" even tho I know it's not true and part about parents hits even deeper 'cause I really don't feel like my dad loves me, but still, somehow hearing this makes me calmer
i just talked to my friend today, and I found this in my recommendation. it was a conversation filled with "I'm sorry," "this is my fault," and "thank you." it was exactly what I needed to hear and having this song will always remind me of that moment, and ill always keep this video and song close to me. this accurately describes everything I was feeling, and the lyrics seem like what my friend was telling me. thanks.
“Your not a monster and no ones gonna shut you out” hit really hard because the whole reason I’ve been having anxiety attacks is because my best friend stopped talking to me and is completely ignoring me for no reason
Also “your heart is like a candle and I won’t let you blow it out” is SUCH a smart line I’ll let you figure out why
Literally had no reason for this show up on my home page but it did and I needed it...good job youtube
I love your lyric videos! Could you make a video for Just Add Water by Cavetown?
Mayonnaise Thank you! I’d love to! I’ll try to have it done by tomorrow night!
That's awesome, thank you!
Hey, I'm really sorry it's been taking so long! I'm working on the video right now. I guess I underestimated how busy I am! I should have it up by tonight and again I'm so sorry for the wait!
Alexis Cason hey! Its alright. I'm a pretty patient person. Things come up and priorities happen. I'm chill.
It's up!
this summer has been the worst summer ever for me. my mental health has never been more screwed. i will literally sleep for the whole day because i’m so mental exhausted and out of energy. i have cried everyday and it’s gotten so bad to the point i’ve wanted to end my life multiple times or ask to go on meds. this song and “i promise i’m trying” have been one of the reasons i’m still here. i can cry to this and ill be okay. i’m so happy i got to be alive the same time cavetown is making music.
jillian cadince you’ve got this, you can keep living as one day life will be how you want it to be
“Of course your friends love you, what are you talking about”
That line always gives me chills
