  • I decided to add a bridge to my favourite song that I've written. I love this song a lot and it means a lot to me right now
    U can listen to my most recent recording of this song here (best recording in my opinion): cavetown.bandcamp.com/track/h...
    ....,..,Or the original version here: cavetown.bandcamp.com/track/h...
    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
    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 'cus
    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
    No I won't let go oh-oh
    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 that we got wrong
    So hug all your friends and let them know you're not letting go
    I'm not letting go
    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
    Basic chords: C, G6, Am, Am(+F#), F, Fm
    Bridge: Am, F, C, G6, Am, F, C, G6, G6, Am, Am(+F#), F, Fm

      I feel you on a physical level, when I first listen to this song I didnt get it because the video speed it up so it kinda felt like fast mumbling but when I listened to the regular version I was just stunned, I felt like what he was portraying and I though he was speaking to me, it's odd isnt it?

    My friend is aro, and she gets really sad about it sometimes. She said she feels like she is missing out on everyone and everything. She feels like she has no love inside her anywhere, and she is often shy and secluded and I am her only friend. So I did a piano cover of this song, (I can sing pretty well) and I sent it to her when she was feeling down. Just the simple few lines ”lifes to short to worry about things we did wrong so hug all your friends, and let them know you're not letting go” meant so, so much to her. She's a happier person, and she is feeling so much better about being herself. She learned the harmony parts, so we sing together. ❤️

    this song makes me cry so hard
    a few days ago, I saw my favorite(and frankly only)friend walk into the bathroom after class. I actually went to quickly talk to him (he is transgender but the school makes him use the girl's bathroom, and I had to go to the bathroom too) since we don't have any classes together. I ran in after him, and when I walked in, my world crashed down. He had one leg swung out the open window, getting ready to jump. It was two stories, he wouldn't even die. I grabbed him, wrapping my arms around his torso and dragging him back. I screamed for help, while he kicked and struggled. I don't know where in my weak body that strength came from, but I guess it was adrenaline. A teacher came running, and called the police and my friend's parents. The teacher shut and locked the windows and told me to watch my friend while the she ran to get help. After she was gone, my friend cried and pushed me over. He screamed at me, "What the hell? Why did you do that? Do you not want me to be happy? Fuck you! I thought you wanted me to be happy! I hate you!"
    The rest of it is kinda fuzzy. All I know is that he is in a mental hospital somewhere, and that I'm not allowed to know. I also know he will never come back to school, and that we'll probably never meet again. I was in a state of shock for a while.
    The lyrics "So hug all your friends and let them know, you're not letting go. No, I won't let go." always makes me cry. In that moment, I didn't know I was crying. I didn't feel my legs and arms being hit repeatedly, all I knew in that moment was "don't let go, don't let go, don't let go..."
    And now I am left with bruises, an aching heart, and the nagging feeling that I could've have done something sooner. I knew he was depressed, but I never knew what to do. And now guilt is eating away at me. I miss him a lot.
    But it also brings about some kind of weird fuzzy feeling. You voice and playing go so well together, and even with a song that is kinda dark like this one, it feels so welcoming and friendly. Cavetown, this song is my home.

      You did the right thing. Having suicidal friends can be really hard, because you want so badly to save them when they don’t want to be saved. It’s really hard. I’m a trans guy myself, and I would’ve really appreciated if someone had done that for me. Even if he isn’t thankful now, even if you never see him again, you’ve helped someone have a chance to have a full, wonderful life.

    The first time I heard this song was when this video was uploaded and I was in 8th grade
    I’m in 11th grade now and a lovely girl brought her ukulele to school and was playing this song (just the chords) and I had a huge flashback to when I listened to this song when I needed love
    Now my best friend is hurting and I’m able to send this to him. That’s huge Robbie and that means the world to me

    this song makes me cry every time I listen to it. my best friend has tried to commit suicide three times. she doesn’t realize how much she means to me, if she wasn’t here, I wouldn’t be here either. sometimes I just go up to her and give her the biggest hug because of this song because of how much I love her and how much she means to me. she’s getting better, and hasn’t committed or self harmed in a while. thank you.

    when i found this song, i was 15 and had just been pulled out of school and cut off from everyone i loved. i wasn’t allowed to have friends, and i wish that was an exaggeration. when i found this song, i remember crying. ugly sobbing in my room that had no door, wishing i could’ve hugged my friends before i got taken away. i listened to it over and over again, always finding comfort in the idea of hugging my friends again. listening to it three years later, i’m reminded that things do get better. i hug the people i love every day, and i’m so lucky i get to do so. it reminds me to never take it for granted again. this song got me through so much, and i’m glad it has so much importance to so many other people. it gets better, guys. really. stay strong. ❤️

      When I was 14 my parents found out I was trans. They took away my phone so I wasnt able to call anyone and I wasnt aloud to talk to my best friend. My mom asked my teachers to notify her if I tried to use a different name. My school counsiler outed me after I told my band director. My science teacher told me about the gsa. I went a few times but the kids there were stuck up and obbsessed with theirselves. Eventually, I got my best friend back (my phone too but thats not as important). Its getting better but i've still got a long way to go and am still only 16. I wish I were an adult so I could be completely independent.

Your voice is like a pale green and it smells like citrus, which is pretty cool.

    I see this song kinda differently I guess. My best friend passed away in 2016, she committed suicide. To me this song reminds me to hug my friends because you never know what could come next. It reminds me to always appreciate the people in my life and make sure they know I'm there for them. I never want what happened before to happen again.
    So to everyone out there reading this remeber to give the people in your life a hug, you never know how much they need it, or what such a simple gesture can do. Maybe you'll save a life.

      -Mary- I’m so so sorry for your loss, I had a friend who tried.. not too long ago. I known her for about 5 years at the time. We weren’t close but I liked her, she meant the world to me. She started texting me telling me it wasn’t worth it, all that Jazz. And then she started apologizing. I started freaking out, and it didn’t help I was in the middle of Walmart. I didn’t know what to do, it was scary. A hour later she texted me again, she tried to overdose. But her mom walked in on her and took her to the hospital. Ive has a couple of friends who have been suicidal. Heck I myself have been. So I’m really sorry for your loss, it’s hard. But I hope your doing well now,

    Thanks for this - I lost my two best friends last summer and I've spent all of this year trying to make new friends.
    But as high school is, I haven't succeeded. I've been thinking lately how much I need someone next to me, someone to talk and laugh with, someone to hug.
    This song feels like a hug, the kind of hug that is like a warm sweater on a cold winter's day.
    I really appreciate this. I needed this. Thank you, friend.
    I will listen to this when I feel the need for a hug, which is quite often. I'll memorize this and sing it when I need it. You are a truly inspirational human.
    Thank you.

I’ve been in the darkest place for the past few years and I’m at my worst point right now, I somehow woke up when your song was playing and it was so soothing I didn’t felt such a calm feeling in a long long time it made me cry so much as I didn’t thought I could ever feel like that ever again. Thank you so much, you convey emotions like no others.

    [Verse 1]
    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
    [Pre-Chorus]
    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
    [Chorus]
    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
    Oh, oh oh
    Woah oh oh oh, oh oh-oh oh...
    [Verse 2]
    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
    [Pre-Chorus]
    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
    [Chorus]
    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
    [Bridge]
    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
    [Chorus]
    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'm not letting go
    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

    hey so here's a story. I have Bluetooth earphones and I was sitting on the tube and I decided to jam out to this song. So I got my phone out and put it on (just as I arrived at the station). i walked out right into the middle of a busy London station and I couldn't figure out why I couldn't hear the music; so I turned up the volume to full but I could only hear it really quietly. i decided I'd figure it out later and rushed off to my next train. A few minutes later, I tried to figure out what was wrong with my headphones. I soon realised that my Bluetooth was switched off, and I had played this whole song on my iPhone speaker at full volume. In the middle of a London station and on a tube. U can tell it's a damn good song, because I didn't get punched in the face.

    So during the summer, my best friend and I have a 1-week sleepover, but this time, since her parents were out of town she was allowed to stay for 2 weeks. And during those weeks, our other friends and my cousions came over. Anyways, after she left, I was lonely and sad and this song came up and I felt it perfectly described my situation.
    "Whats it like to be alone on a Sunday? Remembering the times, you saw them just yesterday" She left on Saturday, and Sunday I was just overwhelmingly sad.
    "Sing me a song, tell me your thoughts, I could listen to you all night long. I don't care about my sleeping routine, I fucked it up as it is, but we've got so much time to kill and so many things to see" At night we would just lie in bed talking for hours, making up stories. I threw off my sleeping schedule, going to bed at 4 a.m. and waking up at 9 a.m.
    "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 remember when we met in the 4th grade, everything was about t.v shows and worrying if our crushes didn't like us back; now were are so stressed out from high school, and worried about if were going to raped and killed in the streets. Everything revolves around grades and intelligence, I want to go back to when we were younger.
    "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" I have from anxiety and depression, and after years of knowing and suffering alone, I finally reached out to my best friends for help, slowly I am getting better. I am glad I have the friends I do.
    This comment was stupidly long, but I just wanted to get it out there. I love your music Robbie, I think it's amazing, and it's great how much I can relate to your songs.

      Our parents allowed us to have another week long sleepover for winter break and she just left a few minutes ago.
      Recently I moved away and now we dont see each other ever day at school. Its sunday today and ive come back again to listen to this song.
      During break i met with some other close friends and _god I miss them so much._ Things have been going wrong recently and it is so hard just to keep living, I want to end it all so much. The only thing keeping me going is my friends, their support and love is one of the only reasons im still alive.
      I still relate to this song, more in fact, than i did before. My depression and anxiety is getting worse, but ill be okay as long as my friends are here.
      Again, this is pointlessly long, its stupid, I know, I just wanted to get this out. Hug all your friends, and let them know youre not letting go.

      Another summer, another sleepover. I am alone again, feeling pensive and a little melancholy, but its okay.
      My friend stayed for a week again, and I also had a new friend sleepover, the new one is from my new school. Their sleepovers were back to back, they crossed over in fact, so one of my best friend met another best friend for the first time.
      I think we had fun, I cant really tell. I had fun but I am so worried i messed up and they didnt enjoy it, but I am looking for the positives, so i am going to believe that they did
      School is starting again soon, and were getting older, ive been taking college classes all summer and so have my friends. I am grateful for the opportunities but i wish we had the chance to be kids. Worried about school, worried about the future, but ive got my people with me, and theyll always be by my side.
      My anxiety is getting worse, and my depression is still here, but ill be okay. Im still holding on, ive still got my friends. Im here and Ill stay here.
      Thats all for now guys, im sleep deprived and lonely, but ive made so many memories, and ive had so much fun. Turns out life isnt so bad, after all.
      Hug all your friends please, you never know what you might mean to them.

      Gaby L hey, you’ve got at least one person still here reading this. It’s sweet, and I hope you and your friends are all doing well! Friends will always matter, and it’s good to have people in your life that make memories with you! Enjoy the sleepovers with friends, it’s tougher to make time for that in the future, and in some ways it’s easier than ever, but never forget to make the most of every second!

    I’m not gonna use a lot of punctuation.
    I was homeschooled for 3+ years and I was always ahead in everything I did. I was 6 1/2 or 7 and at a ninth grade reading level. I had entered public school and went into first grade since my mom wanted me to be in my age group and everything was fine, at least from what people saw from me. Really I would cry myself to sleep and scratch myself till I couldn’t bear it anymore because I thought I was too different from everyone else. I was always first to finish assignments, teachers told me I was gonna get less than a 70%, I got all 100%s since I had learned everything at an early age. When I moved again to a new school I was still quiet, and few friends, and still cried myself to sleep. No one asked why I wore my XL hoodies to school on a day where it was about 80-90 degrees. No one asked why I never wore shorts either. They just thought I was self conscious. I am extremely self conscious. One of the reasons being so so because I was verbally, mentally, and sort of physically abused by my ex-step dad. One day when I was at school my friend had asked why I wore only long sleeves and/or hoodies all day to school, I replied with, “ I don’t know, I feel comfortable.”. The next day she came to school and had a bag in her hands and no one, not even me, asked why she had the bag. At the end of the day I realized she bag wasn’t with her. I came home and realized her bag was in my backpack (i never pack my stuff in there). I open the bag, and it has a t-shirt and shorts. It had a note on it saying for me to wear it the next day. I didn’t. The reason I didnt was because of all of my scars and bruises I did to myself. She asked why I didn’t wear it, and I said I wasn’t comfortable wearing it. She then yanked my arm to follow her somewhere, and she saw a little bit of my skin, up to my elbow. She stared at me blankly, let go of me, and hugged me. She never told anyone, and we haven’t talked in years. I moved once more and I saw her at a store and she gave me that sorta “are you okay” smile, and I nodded with a small smile. I still scratch (I’ve always had sharp nails) and harm myself, but sometimes I can’t because of what happened. I just want to say, this song is a representation on life and this song should be everywhere for everyone who needs it. Thank you Olivia for helping me. Thank you for all of those people who care for me. Thank you Natalie for understanding me and not judging me for who I am. Thank you Cavetown for helping me too 😊

    I just had my 2nd annual Christmas party with lovely people who I see as family then just friends and I cried after the party was over because these people mean the world to me. We have anxiety,depression,confusion,family problems, and we are there for each other every step of the way. I've been playing uku for a year now and I love poetry and this summer I'm going to sit down and try to make a song out of a piece that I wrote my freshmen year which was a difficult year for me and reading it now as a sophomore I can see how I've changed since I wrote it. You are a dime lovely lovely song.

    Robbie, I know you probably won't read this and it'll get lost in the vast sea of comments, but I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your music. I've lost a lot this year, I've attempted suicide more than twice, and I've been disowned by my parents for being trans non binary. I wasn't done being young. Your music feels like a warm hug after a long day of exhaustion, and I always tear up eventually. I'm only sixteen, I feel like I deserved to be a little happy. And your music kept me alive. I have some wonderful friends who held me through the darkest of days. I rarely write comments, but I felt compelled to do so because today was especially tough, and I miss my friends. This will probably be my last Christmas, and I simply wanted to thank you for your music ♡

Her smell,her body,her face,her humor and everything about her didnt change Shes still the same just a little bit hurt and i fucking love her again and im so happy just to see her.

One day I stopped, but today I wanted to listen again, and it's making me remember her. I miss her a lot, and I haven't been able to talk to her since she moved because we have no way of reaching one another. I'm afraid she hates me now because of some things that have happened in our friend group. I don't know how to find her now, so I just hope she sees this, cause she might recognize my username. If you do see this, I miss you.

    So, I'm Aro, and I get sad about it sometimes, feeling like I'm missing out on everything, like I can't love, or will never be loved, never experiencing love... But your songs, they're so relatable, and makes me smile, I forget about my problems, I got my brother into your songs, and sometimes I'll play the song out loud and me and my brother will sing along, I know it's just who I am, and maybe I'll find the right person, but at times it feels like I won't, I had a friend who knows I'm aro, but still would try to hold my hand, say 'I love you' to me, and even try to kiss me and catch me off guard, she knows that I didn't like it, but did it anyway, I soon told her to stop, and well, she did, and I'm glad. To anyone who's reading this and is going through a tough time, you'll make out, I know I'm just a random person behind a laptop screen but, I just wanna let you know, your awesome, and keep up the great work. From a teen behind a laptop screen, to person as amazing as you, have a wonderful day/night/afternoon. :)

    I found out that most of my friends are suicidal. I didn't know what to do but I just wanted them to know that I'm here for them. Though I'm not stable either, I want to be the one to bring them the happiness they brought to me. Because compared to what they're going through, I have no excuse to be sad.
    A friend's mom died in a car accidental, and her ex boyfriend recently left her for his ex.
    Another friend likes guys but hasn't come out to his mom yet because he thinks she won't accept him.
    Another friend has insomnia and hasn't slept in 5 days, she just wants to be hospitalized because her mother ran away 2-3 weeks ago and no one knew where she went, my friend thinks if she gets hurt then maybe her mother would come back.
    Another friend feels like an outcast and like no one wanted her around. She just... wanted to disappear.
    I don't know how to handle knowing these but I'll try my best because I know damn well how hard it is to be left out, I know how it's like to be the outcast. I knew what losing someone you love felt. But I got through it because I have my friends. They guided me through my mess and now it's my turn to help them.
    Edit: spelling

    When I stared listening to you I was in abusive relationships where ever I went. home was a mess and at school my friends were horrible; casually homophobic, making fun of my weight, always making sure to leave me out of things, and overall just mean to me. The lyric "hug all your friends" just didn't make sense. My friends didn't even want me to touch them let alone hug them.
    I was close to taking my own life. In fact, I tried. I was sent to the hospital for a week where I met my current best friend.

I feel like I can relate to this song and I'm trying to dig myself out of a downward spiral into depression, but I feel like with your words and your voice you have really captured what it's like to feel hopeless, and it's nice to know that I'm not alone in this crazy huge world being trapped by my sadness.
