LYRICS
Now your bowl is empty
And your feet are cold
And your body cannot stop rocking
I know
It hurts to let go
Since the day we found you
You have been our friend
And your voice still
Echoes in the hallway of this house
But now
It's the end
We will be with you
When you're leaving
We will be with you
When you go
We will be with you
And hold you till you're quiet
It hurts to let you go
We will be with you
You will stay with us - Hudba
Tomorrow night I play this at my mother's funeral. Me and her got to see Gotye play this live and were touched by it. A fitting goodbye for anyone you loved.
May her soul fly high 💕
GBNF ❤
Just saw this comment 3 years later i can imagine you miss her as i would.
She was probably very moved that you played this song
Sorry for you 💔
My mother died 3 weeks ago. It's my first time to see someone go from my family members and it's even the person who raised me and my brother... alone... all her life. Through my ups and down, she's there. I just hoped she met her grandson. I know she's already in heaven watching over him. The best mother. The best person to ever lived.
This is legit the first song ever to make me cry.
Omg same, I used to listen to this when I was little and it would make me so emotional
+TheNashNetwork You should hear Videotape from Radiohead
+nyla toms this came out 4 years ago, what do you mean "when you were little" hahah
Conner Shumway I was ten then so in a way I was a kid
+nyla toms ur still a little kid.
10 years later, this still hurts on a emotional level that still hasn't lost its punch when I first listened to it.
nobodys here with anyone, is a mother, son thing. to say,but i makes me happy..
I have this hurt. A big reason why I share this joke, because of the shocking, but laughter/healing effect.
I went to a psychic, told me in around 14 years I'd suffer a terrible heart ache, so to make myself feel better, I got myself a puppy....(or kitten)...
That joke gets me, but I can't help but to pass it on.
Yup I tried this again and I'm still crying everytime. Only because of the way it sounds and how the video is made like literally I can relate to this on many different levels and perspectives of life
I miss my dog, I miss being young, I miss being able to feel free in way where there was no worry of anything but life moves on and so can you
@@Funkenst8in1 Be crying and sharing your crying... what a man...
@@Funkenst8in1 what?
I was looking into my cat’s eyes when it happened. I saw his lights go out and felt him go cold. I told him I was sorry, and I’d find him again, over and over. I haven’t thought about that in a long time. Thanks Gotye.
💜
same here, watched the life leave him. so suddenly, so unexpected. it hurt's, ill never recover from this
I watched it happen to the first cat I lived with. We knew something was wrong, he hadn't been eating properly for days, but the vet couldn't identify anything wrong. He spent more and more time on the ratty old beanbag he loved as a kitten, and it was there that he died. From the moment I lifted him I knew he was gone. His eyes were open but unseeing, and it's so hard to hold such limp limbs. He stayed warm the whole way to the vet, had I not been holding him I could maybe have believed there was yet life in him. The house has been unnaturally quiet ever since.
😭 I know exactly what you talking about 😢
Gotye didn't deserve to be a on-hit wonder, his music is extraordinary :(
how is more than 10 million views considered a one-time hit?
@@user-re5if4ke6u he made "somebody that i used to know" which had 1.7 billion views
@@jayden4413 are u dumb💀 12 11 million for songs is not a one hit wonder, hes still known just cuz one song broke so much doesn’t mean he has to hit those numbers for every song
he wasnt, he just hasnt made any other music. its a big mystery in the music industry why he left
He isn't

My dog was called Brontë and she died at 17. This song's captures every feeling I had at the end perfectly. Hope everyone is dealing with the grief of a lost one as best as possible. This song hits me hard personally. X
My cat Squall passed away 10 years ago and this song still brings me to my knees in tears. When he passed away I heard this song not too long afterwards and I was a mess, a puddle on the floor
Such a sweet tribute and comment. Much love to you.
Sad
Just lost my dog at 17 yesterday. Here for the same reason.
Rip Brontë
The death of a pet, the nostalgia of childhood, the distance that is inevitable between parents and their children, this song is all of this.
The song is loss. Plain and simple. Loss. Take your pick of what is lost. It will be the right answer.
I lost a Cheeto under the couch a few years back, this song really helped me get over it.
@@SuperTallBird damm, i can only wish the best for you and the rest you love
Very well put. Thanks
word for word. it's all about the pain of loss
That must be hard of what you are going through and sorry for your lost
I had a friend for 20 years. I watched him born, I was 15. When his mom let me, I held him in my hand. He was small.
I let him run and kept him safe. He loved to run.
One day he got sick, he was older. Kidneys. Common for them.
I bought all the medicine, changed diets, did everything.
I told myself I would know when it was time. One day my friend laid down in the bath tub.
The last day we had, I held my best friend when they made him sleep. Before he went, he looked right into my eyes, turned, and went to sleep.
20 years.
Who's cutting onions in here?! That's so sad!
+soi777 I am so sorry for your loss. I know you must be feeling really empty... at least, that is how I feel. I had around 7 years with my friend, and she was always there for me when days got too dark. I can't imagine what 20 years must feel like. But I know it must have been worth it... at least, 7 years was.
It was worth every second.
+soi777 my boy was 10 days before his 18th birthday.
It hurts man. Nobody else knows unless they've felt it.
I'm 34 years old now, and I realize that the theme of this music video applies to every time period of one's life.
Exactly 😊
21 and life is kicking the fuck out of me lmaooo
my grandpa passed away on August 8th at 10:05pm. He was like a father to me and things just haven't been right since. His funeral was yesterday. He would call me everyday and come over to our place and my work everyday. I miss him so much
@descentmvm I feel u, I just lost my grandma who I lived with about a year ago, just some advice, I may never get any better but u learn to numb the hurt and instead of mourning them u begin to honor them with your actions and do shit that you hope they are proud of, love u brother God bless u
Exactly my take on it, it touches a truth about the human condition... growing up and losing your childhood, being a parent whose children are leaving, growing older still and watching your elders pass on. Being any age at all, and losing any loved one, whether it is a grandparent or a golden retriever. Being any age at all and losing a home or community. this is each of those losses, and more.
3 minutes that always make me cry. I mourn the loss of my childhood innocence, the simplicity of a world full of wonder and magic that somehow made perfect sense, the absence of moral ambiguity, absence of uncertainty, the safety and nurturing home I could always return to and the lack of fear and worry. I grieve for the loss of my childhood. I can still feel how loved I felt then - even lonliness wasnt nearly as lonely as it is as a grown man. This song and video makes me feel who I was then, and sad at the impossible distance between that me and the me I am today.
I felt that!
I have heard this masterpiece today for the first time and I am feeling exactly this...I also have two little daughters and this makes me cry even harder when I realize how fast they grow..
Beautifully said. Innocence once lost, is lost forever. We cherish that part of us, but must discover who else we are, after innocent is gone.
wow. beautifulully articulated my friend.
My only complaint about this song is that it isn't longer.
If it was any longer I would die of dehydration from crying 😭😭😭😭
SAME but it made me cry anyway
I don't think I would survive if it were longer. I would perish.
Just start again from the beginning after it ends.
I'm kinda glad it's only 3 minutes because it sucks to cry for any longer than that hahahaha. for real though.
I sung this to my dog while he was dying in my arms, and now when I watch or listen to it, it makes me remember the precious baby I had in my life but now he's gone, and that he'll always be with me no matter what.
you did not have my permission to make me cry this hard
jesus christ. that's heavy doc.
Bro You made me cry with that comment don't do that again.
U Kind of a legend for that tho.
@@verlorenercarl-account717he got me too just now. I miss my dog so much.
Right in the heart, add me to the list.
This video has two morals: Growing up sucks and school ruins everything.
+rogue123987 Couldn't agree more.
+rogue123987 You are so right!!! You good friends becomes your enemy and the kid that bullied you became your best friend! LOL
+rogue123987 All good things must eventually come to an end. It's better to have fond memories than to have never had fond memories to begin with. It is never good-by only farewell for now.
+rogue123987 LOL
+rogue123987 Video clip goes for that, I went through the lyrics before seeing the clip so to me this song is about a families pet dog passing away and the memories of the pet still lingers and it really hits my nerve as my pet dog i grew up with passed away in my early teens and just never felt like she was really gone.
This video represents the feeling of moving on and everything that we have to leave behind and then remembering it all years later and trying to go back but never finding what you once had again. Sad truth
That's what makes it more heartwrenching imo. Never fails to make me teary eyed everytime goddammit
@@idyllic_verse2 indeed
Saudade.
You spoke how I flt about this song and video all along.
"You will stay with us"😭😩 thoes words... always have me choking back tears
"now your bowl is empty" really hits me. out of all the lyrics, that's the one that gets me. her bowl WAS empty, for months. After mindy left, i couldn't do anything for months and everything reminded me she was gone. even now, i can't think about mindy without getting teary-eyed. love you baby girl
@Guishe That sudden change of tone cracked me up amidst my tears 😂
for me, it's "and your body cannot stop a-rocking"
I don't know why, it just... Christ, it kills me
Nahnoo-nahnoo, cheer up Mork :D
Hilarious! And youve added depth to my love of this song. Ty
and your voice echoes through the hallways of this house. The silence of her presence not being there, reaching out for a pat at night and nothing there. The dog shaped hollow in one's life is hard.
My grandpa bought me a puppy the day i was born. I was raised with this dog. When i was 21 I went off to college and my dog passed away two weeks in school. 1 week later my grandpa died. This song makes me feel like i want to break down
Jacob Hagerman it will get better, stay strong
Tynesha D thank hou hun
Me too😢❤
I wanna fall asleep to this every night. It's quiet and dreamy and peaceful. It also breaks my heart a little. Beautiful.
Nicoolio you should 😊😊
Nicoolio cc a me d
It’s a wonderful song of regret... not of dreams or peace... listen to the words... I love this one SO MUCH, it reminds me when my beloved dog died 3 years ago... this is the story...
Nicoolio A little??? It's one of the saddest songs I have ever heard :(
Tears me up every time but i love it
How are you able to sing this song without crying? Me and my wife can't get further than: "we will be with you" 😭
I can't get past "now your bowl is empty"
@@wastedinspiration im already sobbing reading this
this video means so much to me for no reason
shay jones ikr
Trust me, there is always a reason ;) - the song/video cut like a knife through your soul and make you weep like a baby..
Same
Maybe there's a reason you haven't thought of yet....
lol
I am a 40 year old man. I haven't cried since I was 12.
This song and video makes me well-up like nothing else in the last 20-odd years has.....
real men cry
I gonna liked this but boi oh boi its 6ix9ine
how can you not cry for 30 years?
@@capputchina Don't know. I guess because I had a really messed up childhood, I believed crying was a sign of weakness, as I never once witnessed or heard of my dad ever crying.
So at about the age of 12 or 13 I taught myself to wall off emotions, and to never let anyone see me cry.
Worked so well that years later I discovered that I actually couldn't cry anymore ...even when I tried. 🤷♂️
I had a really messed up childhood too. And teenage years. And young adulthood. And regular adulthood. I cry all the fucking time. I just never let anyone see me do it.
this song has reminded me of my late wife for so long. it still hurts and I had to stop listening to it for a while... But fortunately for me, i'm happily remarried with a wonderful family and a first biolgoical child. I adopted her two other children and they all mean the world to me. But man.. this song ... such beauty.
My family rescues animals. Every time one of our long held friends passes, I come here to feel my grief. Thank you for this song and to the artists of this video.
Every single line of this song is like a knife in my heart. My wonderful dog, my best friend of 13 years, had to be put to sleep last weekend. He was in a lot of pain. Even eating would make him cry out. I held his head on my lap as they injected him, and finally he relaxed...I bawled like a baby and just cradled him for quite some time.
"We will be with you and hold you till you're quiet. It hurts to let you go."
you made me cry dude
SO sorry, friend. I too lost my dog ten years ago. Felt like someone ripped me heart out. I can tell you the pain will ease with time, until then, allow yourself to grieve. When you're ready, I hope you will find yourself your next soul mate at a shelter. God bless.

I didn't ask for these feels
I'm so sorry Dave.
I know this is for a dog, but.....I heard this song a long time ago.. My friend sent me this song. Today my dad passed away..I loved him so much and I will never stop..I'll miss you daddy. I love you..
I'm sorry for you
Aw, the feels......
I'm so sorry, I know something about it... Ok, nevermind. Keep strong and enjoy sad soungs :)
I'm sorry for you :(( rest in peace...
Janzelle Artis so sorry for the loss of your dad hun. Big hugs xx
Regardless of any award, this is one of the most underappreciated albums ever.
Agreed, it's a very good album
It's such a shame that you were only recognised for that one song. You deserve to be at the top of the charts worldwide every time. This song, like all your songs, is amazing.
this is still the most emotional song I've ever heard
So many ppl write about their pets...but I believe this is more about saying goodbye to childhood and innocence
+Jonathan Botello You're destroying meeeee
it could mean both but im sure its a general song about loss and moving on
Jonathan Botello It's okay *cri*
yes, i know, but the lyrics are applicable to any loved one that is dying (pet or person)
yes indeed
I found this song when my grandfather passed away because of cancer, We were very close and this song brought back so many memories.
Now my mother is gone as well after fighting cancer for three years...so here I am again.
I promised my mother that if she was not allowed to live I would live for her, so that the memory of her lives on. One thing she taught me was to never take anything for granted, not even the slightest thing. Live out your days to the fullest, because one day it all will be gone.
11 lat temu, a wciąż wzrusza do łez. Ma w sobie bardzo ważny przekaz. Strasznie współczuję tej dziewczynie. Aż płakać mi się chcę patrząc, gdy nie zdążyła się pożegnać ze swoimi czterema stworami, dla których była ich najlepszą przyjaciółką.😢❤️
this animation is wonderful
It should have it's own movie, packed with onion cutting ninjas
+Sans The skelebro It's an internet joke. When people start crying, they blame "onion cutting ninjas".
Damn those onion cutting ninjas :'(
I'd say this is already its own movie; it's puts more into three minutes and fifteen seconds than 90% of the theatrical movies of the last several years.
It's the same guy who helped with the artworks in hollow knight it's fucking amazing I agree.
@@chililube not helped, I believe he did all the artwork for the game
Ari Gibson did all the art assets for Hollow Knight and the upcoming Hollow Knight: Silksong, yes
just remember that pain you feel when your beloved dies is actually a gift, the size of the pain is in proportion to the size of the love, and that intense pain reveals the immensity of your heart, cherish the pain as you cherish the love
I often revisit this song when a loved one passes away, or put out of my life. Grief just... it takes away the humility of loss. And I don't know what he had to endure to get to this level but it just makes me feel so happy for the time I spent with people in my life before they left.
It's a shame Gotye is really only famous for "Somebody that i used to know" when he has many brilliant and artistic tracks like this one, "eyes wide open", ''hearts a mess" and ''dig your own hole". Hopefully one day this brilliant artist gets the full recognition he deserves, but until then i'll still have the making mirrors album
This is the only song that has ever made me cry.
have you tried listening to steven wilson's routine / the raven that refused to sing?
Well, I couldn't finish it. Had to weep alone. It's been 11 months and 7 days since my wife and I lost Milo, our cat to a non-operable tumor in his mouth. The cat we got a few months before Milo's death, who's name is Tuna, was climbing on our bed this morning in a way that reminded me of Milo.. and a winced and remembered the pain all over again. So I went downstairs with my wife and child asleep.. Tuna followed me.. and I searched for this video again. -- I think I'll watch again on April 15th, the exact anniversary of us removing the pain from our poor kitty. Until then I can't bear to watch this entire video.
We put our girl down yesterday, she had been sick for weeks but we never expected cancer. She may have only gotten 3 years, but they were happy. I watched her go, and it was painless for her, but this song eases the pain in my heart.
When my mother's dog had to be put down due to a cancerous tumor, I played this for her. It helped us both. We had only had Jake for a year, but he was family.
Hoho
Same here, put to sleep my cat due cancer on the day before christmas... just 2-3 weeks ago feel a life whitout him...
@@SelketMc ddd
@@SelketMc I'm sorry to hear. You always hope your pets will stay with you forever, but we have to say goodbye eventually.
Moving on is hard because what we move on from is familiar and comfortable, but most of the time it isn't optional.
God i wish it was optional
Alan Wright You and me both.
Unfortunately, that's what makes us who we are.
I first heard this at a party about 3 years ago. A friend said it was haunting and had a beautiful video. I always thought it was about a relationship's end. Then today I was listening to it again on the train home and I just got it. I can't stop crying now. I've lost so many animal companions over the years and now I know someone else knows the same hurt.
Just lost my buddy. He will always stay with us
Damn, just had a tear roll down my cheek before even knowing I was crying. This is such a sweet song
True
My best friend ever passed away this evening... He was most gorgeous dog I've ever met. Still crying... You'll be with me forever.
A few years back i had a friend who meant very much to me.
We hung out mostly at his place wich was very close to a forest.
and we played just as kids even though we were 14-15 years old.
We had no problems beeing ourselves around eachother at all.
I had a good relation to his family and i felt at home every time i was there.
They kind of became a second family to me.
Today him and me have no contact at all and whenever i hear this song i think back upon those days when we hung out. I miss him and that time of my life. It made me feel liberated and happy to be his friend and that we both were outside mostly all the time. It's almost frightening how close this song strikes my heart and all those feelings that i felt during those years we were friends. Wherever you are today..thank you.. :'(
I love this song. I listen to it each time I have a furbaby pass. Yesterday my cat I have had sense I was 5 years old was ready to go. I spent the whole day laying with her, she was wrapped in my mom's blanket, on the bed. My dad came to say his goodbyes and cry. Around 9 pm she passed while my mom and I laid with her and my mom kept her hand over her heart and she told me it stopped and I couldn't even bare the years anymore I started to bawl and her heart started beating for a few seconds until she let out a breath and passed. I'm and thankful she got to live an amazing 18 years with me and grow up with me im thankful she got to pass away peacefully at home surrounded by ones she loves. She was one of kind a very caring loving girl. As a kid and a teen I would cry and have a meltdown and Juanita was ALWAYS there to rub on me out of worry. No other cat or dog has done that to me. Thank you Juanita , you gave me the best moments of my life. Juanita ping came into my life in 2003- passed away 1/5/2020 I love you sweet girl now you can be with Petey, Mochi, Snoopy, lady, and Endo.
Ironically I am reading your comment today , the 2 year death anniversary of your beloved cat. I lost Jack and he was with us for 13 years . He had cancer and Bc of covid I didn’t get to say goodbye .I watched my sister and mother go into the vet clinic to finally lay him to rest on October 4, 2021. I think about him everyday , I miss him so much it hurts to say or express. I wonder where he is at this moment , I regret not spending more time with him . I regret not telling him I loved him one last time. You story has given me peace , thank you
My dog died today... I remember watching this years ago thinking about her and crying imagining when that day might come. I wasn’t ready then, and years later, I’m still not ready... It hasn’t even been a whole day, but I miss her so much... I had to find this again even if by now its from forever ago... I love you Midnight, and I miss you so so much. I hope you’re loving it wherever you are now... And thank you... thank you for all the love and care you gave me over the years. Rest in peace Midnight... 💜💜💜
Ms. Switch she sure is something, I hope she is in a place where she can be happy...she be there, always in you.
This song will always bring her right back to you. Put it on and cry whenever you miss her.
Lie down, try not to cry. Cry a lot.
haha
In crying like a baby rn😭
RoxyFoxXx so true
Everytime I hear this song...EVERYTIME
i a, still crying
I lost my 15 year old dog three days ago and a friend sent me this video. This is the hardest time of my life right now. Such a beautiful song.
I was with you when you were leaving. I held you until you were quiet. It hurts so much to let you go.
I'll never forget you Cooper, you were the best dog ever. I love you.
My mom showed me this song when I was 8 when it came out-
I am now 18 and MAN do the water works hurt! Brings back the memories
It brings me to tears. I know how you feel mate...
You have a great mother it sounds like:)
My dog has aprox 3 months to live due to bone cancer. I would love to make a memorial video of him with this song. It would be a beautiful tribute to him of the joy he's brought me all these years.
='(
I will back to you
I’d put a like but you’re at the angel number 42.
I'm not crying. You're crying.
Phineas and Ferb reference or just a coincidence?
I don't watch tv, so I guess coincidence
pixymae Found another rare person that doesn't watch TV.
Ducky Sanchez ha ha xD i know right i sometimes find people who dont like bacon weird right
Kakari Yoko-chi I'm also a vegetarian, I don't like bacon
it's been 7 years but everytime I come back, it still resonates a feeling of a lonely warmth.
my interpretation of the animation reminds me of when i moved out of my old neighborhood, everything that i knew and was comfortable with was gone in a moment, i felt alone and sad that none of my friends could come with me. But i eventually found new friends and a new life in a better neighborhood, and now looking back the line "We will always be with you" hits hard because i never forgot the great times i had with my old friends and i can't thank them enough for helping me become who i am today.
This goes to my dog Kim who was born on the exact day as me 24/07/01 who we had put down last week due to kidney failures. Rest in peace my angel, look after my grandma
Oh, Christ. This is the kind of song that runs in, tears out your heart, and stomps on it while you sob violently and uncontrollably. And you still love it.
To the core of love 😥
I know, I dont know why I torture myself like this hahahaha
This song evokes so much for me. I’m amazed how a few chords and notes in the right order can destroy me emotionally for 3 minutes. I feel so much from this.
9 years later, and that Mozambique sample still messes me up, because I know what's coming. This song is something else. It's the lyrics, it's the melody, it's the melancholy, it's the direct meaning of the song as well as the meaning that's up for interpretation, and personally, it's belonging to an era I wish I could go back to, if only for a moment.
I had to put my dog down a day before Thanksgiving of 2013. She lived a long and happy life, and this will always make me tear up.
:(........................
I saw this video years ago, was really moved by it, then forgot what it was and couldn't find it again for the longest time. Glad to see it again.
Now I’m crying. My pet dog whom I considered my best friend passed away 3 months ago, she’s been with me for only 5 months, yeah that was short but my emotional attachment to her was so deep. In that short span of time, I loved her so much, and what makes it worse is she died right in front of me and I wasn’t able to do anything while she was fighting for her life. It still hurts. I still miss her.
Hi! My dog died today.. only a little bit more and it would have been 1 year since I got her! She fought for her life as well and I couldn’t do anything! I’m sorry for your loss!
It hurts so much doesn't it.
She will have known just how much you loved her and how you would have given anything to ease her suffering and the love you gave her will have gently carried her over the Rainbow Bridge, and you can be sure she will be waiting there for you when it's your turn to cross over.
The animation on this video was amazing. I love when animations tell a visual story. And the music complemented it perfectly.
My dog passed away today, and this song relates to how I feel so well. Thank you, Gotye, for helping me get through this.
I don't cry over songs very easily or often at all, yet this made me sob for 10 minutes straight. The way I connected it to all my lost fur babies, but also the way it so beautifully and bittersweetly represents the rawness of humanity, the powerful undying love we have for those around us, and our infinite connection to the universe. *We will be with you, you will be with us* 🤍✨
Now, I know this song is about a dog dying but honestly, this song can be used for loss in general. It doesn’t say anything about a dog specifically, so if you would want to use it for something, you don’t really have to label it as just a song about dogs. And I know that dogs dying is really sad for a lot of people. I just can’t really empathize since I’ve never had a dog, but loss, including death, is probably the saddest thing anyone could experience, even if it’s not a human. And I think this song captures that emotion perfectly.
This songs helped me alot when my childhood dog passed away. I will always love her with all my heart.
Incredible artwork and animation, one of my absolute favourites to date. The sheer detail and perspective put into 3 minutes was utterly fulfilling, and blissfully moving.
I'm gutted there is not more of it- a bigger story, set to a more progressive piece by Gotye. It is a lovely song too.
If the enemy played this on the battlefield i would consider it emotional artillery 😭😭😭
This is such a wonderful and precious song.. Touches the heart. You are gifted with your song writing, music and your beautiful voice.. Thank you..
Lyrics
Now your bowl is empty
And your feet are cold
And your body cannot stop rocking
I know
It hurts to let go
Since the day we found you
You have been our friend
And your voice still echoes in the hallways of this house
But now
It's the end
We will be with you
When you're leaving
We will be with you
When you go
We will be with you
And hold you till you're quiet
It hurts to let you go
We will be with you
You will stay with us
yeah
Thx
💋💔

Wow I used to watch this video back when I was probably around 11. I loved gotyes music and would just enjoy brontes beautiful graphics that would just feel warm inside from how pretty the animation and song was and used to think the message had something to do around the destruction of nature which has left me dumbfounded with how ironic it is that I would completely miss the message of this when I was a kid. Went in expecting to feel nostalgia but wow I was just blindsided with understanding the actual plot and I cant stop crying. Ive only truly cried 3 times in my young adult life and I have never cried due to just overwhelming nostalgia and happiness till just now. I can distinctly remember the first time I watched this and its crazy how much everything has changed since then. Im 19 now and getting ready to ship out for the US navy boot camp most likely this month. I was actually just going to watch this and gotyes east way out video and go back to drawling but wow ive been just awestruck by this video and now need to call it a happy night. Idk, I just felt compelled to type this long thing out after seeing sort of similar comments talking about feels from this video to add on to the thousands of comments about the feels this video gave to every individual.
Thank you for sharing, best of luck
Years ago, when I moved away from my friends, this song brought me a lot of comfort. Tonight, it brings me comfort again. I unexpectedly lost my Ollie today, a beautiful hedgehog, about 5 years old. I noticed that he wasn't acting like himself and went to the vet for a diagnosis - only to find out he was in unbearable pain. We decided to let him go, and my heart aches. I love you Ollie, and I hope you're so much happier in hedgehog heaven
Songs like this taste wonderful to me. I get that people love love songs and happy songs, and I do too - but sometimes we want something bitter rather than something sweet and this song shows how enjoyable and satisfying the catharsis of released sadness can be. It's a wonderful flavor.
+Bob Dole It's weird for me because love songs just tend to bore the hell out of me because t he lyrics are (mostly) so boring, and happy songs tend to just be boring in general.

@112057293991207014022 Biggest reason for that is because love songs and happy songs tend to sell the best - so record companies *crank* those things out by the ton and it dilutes the market. You have to sift through a lot more dreck to find the good stuff.
With these bittersweet, melancholy tunes you don't have to search as much to find the good stuff not only because there's less to search through, but also because people are a lot more critical of them, so only the best tend to rise.
There *is* worthwhile upbeat music out there, it's just a harder row to hoe in finding it.
Bob Dole Oh, trust me, I love a bit of EVERYTHING. Almost literally everything. But I do have preferences :P
*Sobs uncontrollably*
Same.
I know it
I miss our dog Maggie. She was so in tune with my emotional state of mind and knew how to just be there like a good friend.
I lost my dear cat yesterday and I have not stopped crying especially when I hear this song. I miss her so much already, I love you Mars
Recently lost my very cuddly cat, this song hits me extremely close to heart.... one seond i think i have something in my eye
Oh, god I miss my dog so badly...I will always remember him...always...😭
Shit, this song just hits right home.
Dat picture
lol
This song always makes me think of my family's first Dog, Sally. She lived to be 20 years old. By the time she was 20 though age had become a factor in her health. She was going blink, it hurt for her to move and she had some tumor like thing growing on her leg. So we felt it was only right to put her down rather than let her live in pain for any longer. The night it was done and buried I put on this song and it tore me up. It perfectly described Sally's life with my family.
Even as years have gone by since she left us and we have a new loving dog in the house, her presence is still strong in the house.
This song slays me to tears every time.
This song makes me cry every time. I lost my dog last summer and a friend of mine had linked this song to me a few days after words. It helped me to heal a little. My dog was with us for 13 years before she passed. I still cry every now and then because when you love something or someone for that long, they are a part of your life and a part of your family and when they're gone it's like losing a small part of your heart. I love this song because I think of her every time I hear it.
What a beautiful post! The hardest thing to do is leave the part of you that is with the one that you love.
Daniela Ruiz Villalpando Yeah. I had no one to turn to when I was bullied in high school, and so I'd come home and hug her, burying my face in her fur as I told her everything that had gone on during that day. No judgments from her, just a cold nose that she'd nuzzle under my chin to comfort me when I was down. I'll always remember her in my heart.
Putting my dog down in less than two hours. I'm gonna miss you so much, buddy.
goodbye is the hardest ,,,,,, i still miss my dog, Mr Goose.. and its been ten years.
My cat died two days ago too... I know the feeling :'(
I've had my dog for ten years. Got her when I was 8. I'm now an adult and I'm afraid to lose her. I will play this song for her. I'm obviously gonna be crying when I lose her. She's the nicest dog I've ever met and I'm glad she's been with me for a decade. Gonna be one of the saddest days ever. She makes me happy when I'm sad or bored. I don't know how long it will take for me to let her go.
Today it's 3 years ago since I lost my dog Simba. I always listen to this song on the anniversary. Like many others in this comment section, I held him till he was quiet. His voice also still echoes in our hallways. I miss you everyday, Simba.
The lyrics in this song broke me to a point that I never thought could be reached. Have listened to this song repeatedly while just crying like I should have done 3 years ago.
Ok - it's extremely comforting to read about so many other people on here who lost pets too and get the cries when watching this.
My feels just got dropped kicked into oblivion
I lost my cat, Blue, yesterday and laid her to rest. She was only seven years old, but in the span of two weeks she went from being full of life, to barely being able to breath. Fluid had built up around her lungs and the clinic here said they were not equipped to drain it out.
I've listened to this song repeatedly these last two days, trying to cry away all the sadness until it stops hurting, but my chest still hurts every time I think of her and the fact I can never pet or hold her again. But this song has helped me so much to cope, and I'm grateful it exists. 😔💔🐱
I lost my baby just 2 years into what should have been a very long life. We had to put her down because of a fever that her body couldn’t fight. I raised her from a 6 week old kitten and tried to give her the world. I spoiled her rotten because she deserved the best life.
Unfortunately, I couldn’t protect her from that fate. Everyone tells me I did everything right, spent every penny that I did and didn’t have, and yet, i still hate myself for failing her.
Her name is Ena, it means a gift from God. She was truly a blessing that came into my life when I had lost all direction. Even in her absence, i’m trying to remember the path she was guiding me down. Hopefully one day I can traverse it and meet her at the end. I hope I can see her and show her all the lives i was able to change thanks to her.
My friend sent me this song because I’ve been grieving so badly. It helps to hear.
Bless you sweetheart. Our fur babies are our family and I hurt for your loss of your sweet Ena. But you will carry her heart in your hrart always.
Its been awhile since I cried over a cartoon music video.. Gotye's sound and lyrics never fail to fix my emotions.
I think of my two cats every time I listen to this masterpiece.
...and in my mind, they are huge and strong like those creatures in the video. They keep me protected. :)
+Eddie Bass ...well, they feel unsafe when a lightning hits a bit closer, but that's fine. :)
My beautiful Schindler passed away 3 years ago but I still miss him so very much and so hope to be reunited with him one day.
I've had many pets over the years and without exception they've all enriched my life so very much but my Schindler was my once in a lifetime pet, he had the most beautiful soul of any creature, humans included, I've ever met, he wasn't the best looking dog but his inner beauty shone oh so brightly it could blind you.
We will meet again Schinny but until then sleep well my boy and have nothing but beautiful dreams.
About two and a half years ago, my Dad had to put down his Australian Shepherd Lilli. I was with him at the vet's clinic on the day. It tore him apart, and to tell the truth, I wasn't much better.
For his birthday, several weeks later, I put together a photo of Lilli resting on the footstool looking up at me, with the lyrics from this song. Dad absolutely loved it. Now he keeps the picture in his living room, and he reads the lyrics nearly every time he passes it.
Rest easy, Lilli. We miss you.
"You will stay with us..." My heart just sank to the lowest depths ;~;
HEY WHO'S CUTTING ONIONS
I cry EVERY TIME.
I don't know why this happens every time. It's weird but good all together
Darn onion ninjas
I AM
Sticky Rice Dammit Sticky Rice, stop chopping onions and get back in my bowl.
I can only imagine this song was written with his idea of the pain and inevitability of families changing over time, the loss of childhood as kids age, the loss of children as they mature and leave home, the loss of parents as they grow old and pass on. But also of the constant thrum of love and connection that exists, so that even when we let go and are removed from each other there is a bond.
This song and video hit hard, like a punch in the gut, a decade ago when my children were babies. Even more so now that they are teens. It is the most beautiful and bittersweet sort of trauma, facing a future of loss, and being comforted only in that you will survive it, so that the next generation can grow. Now that Wally himself is a parent, I wonder what he feels when he revisits this track.
I've never cried over a song so much. I'm BAWLINNGG
it makes me think of a child leaving thier parents behind because as she grows up she starts to leave them
i think of someone having to move on from the passing of someone who they cared about
Volvagias Blaze I think you're just about right there; Apparently, the story is that he wrote this song about a neighbors dog that passed away.
Jordan McCall yeah i heard about that : )
Kakari Yoko-chi Yeah, very touching isn't it? :)
Jordan McCall Great, some more feels which I can't hold.
if you listen closely this song is packed with onion ninjas....
+Roxie Marquez ha ha, thanks for the chuckle. songs (movies, ...) like this, i tell my sister it's my eye allergies acting up. she usually gets them too. ;-)
+Roxie Marquez this is about a dog's death
+Nyx Alexandra We all know that (presumably, anyway.) It's a joke because the song is so sad that it's making us cry (like onions.) :)
Now please excuse me while I go find a box of kleenex
