In this version, Lincoln sounds a bit older, which may very well be on purpose. All of the lyrics are now in the past tense, meaning that he has already experienced them and is trying to make amends with his past by echoing the positive parts of the song.
This leads me to believe that this is either him masking himself during church, suppressing his emotions as to act “normal”,
or,
that this is him 3 years after he sung Saint Bernard, and that him and God are on good terms.
There’s also the chance that he’s moved on from that part of his life all together. All interpretations are lovely
Or there's the chance that he's moved away from religion all together. A lot of the lines in the song do seem to point to that. Honestly it's all up to interpretation, but any one of them is amazing and shows great character growth on his behalf.
I like that interpretation. It took me a long time to come to terms with my religion, being trans and bi and always feeling like I was doing wrong.
Lesqie bro literally same in every way lmao
You got a heart from them
I feel like the tone of this song is for those who listened to the first Saint Bernard version at their very low points and this version, considering how its all past tense-and in the future, its to show that today is a better day and that time can heal a broken soul.
But if you haven't gotten there yet, the song (despite how it actually sounds) has a sort of sad ring to it. Like, you know the day will come when it's all in the past, but you don't know if you'll live to see it. That's just how I feel, tho, idk about other people
Edit: I'm here, I made it. You can make it too, I promise :)
@@sugahsprinklezlol2430 No, you got it spot on for me, too. :')
It absolutely is!! I was that person listening to this song during a very low point, and I can confirm that this version felt so uplifting and hopeful, like a healing release of everything I felt when I listened to the first. :) Things aren't perfect yet, but I am doing a lot better, and I can be grateful for that.
Yessss! When I was listening Saint Bernard, I had depression. Now that I'm better and at a good point in my life, both of these songs perdecrly describe my breakthrough. I don't like listening to sad songs because I don't want to "trigger" my mental illness, so this song is perfect for me 👌👌👌
Definetly felt like that, Iooking back on when i first got inti the song vs. now and it really feels like healing
Saint Bernard: Present tense, sense of darkness lurking as the singer is experiencing a situation that has no happy ending to it
Saint Bernard 2: Past tense, sense of chaos as it feels the singer is reminiscing on what he has done and breaking down
Both together are PERFECT for storytelling
You know what, funny enough for me it doesn't sound like breaking down. Rather, it sounds like those drunken nights where one is just singing about their tragedies in a cheerful manner, because it doesn't really hurt them anymore despite being unable to forget about it. It has that mature finality to it, the perfect essence of acceptance. I'm glad he released this second version, cause I already know it'll be there to save me in my future break downs.
having saint bernard on repeat during a very low point in my life (that is now over but still affects me) makes me feel like this is the closure i needed to really move on from it. thank you
Couldnt put it into words, but you took the words right out of my mouth. thank you for describing what I think a lot of us are feeling
This.
Honestly same here and its nice
Cheers to that
exactly. goosebumps dude.
The second one actually contrasts with the first one almost perfectly. It still shows the chaotic nature of depression, but in a less sinister way
Edit: reading the first comment, I realized that the lyrics were indeed different. Now that I realized it you can tell where the "bad parts" starts and the "good parts" comes in. When I say this, I mean the life part
The lyrics are different and in past tense, so maybe he’s doing better!
@@danuwatatem5103 A lot of the sounds clash and seem awfully out of place, so it's likely that the first song was at a depression low, and this one is on the road to recovery. Not fully recovered yet, as there are still things under the surface that seem off and uncomfortable, but it's being embraced. Sort of like telling yourself "I sometimes feel wrong, and I feel lost, but that's okay because tomorrow may be a better day".
Right?
The perfect character development doesn't exi-
this version contrasted with the first one feels like when you grow up and you've gotten better at managing your mental health but you still know it'll probably always be a part of you but you're okay with it now because you're not a kid anymore
@Pax It does. It took me several years and a lot of trying, and I still struggle, but at 16 now, it's a lot better then when I first got like this. It'll feel better eventually
Pax I’m 18 now, I didn’t think I would make it. Hard work and self care go a long way. You can learn to love yourself, I promise.
@Pax you’ll never be perfect but no one ever is. But you learn to cope and deal with it. You learn how to work with it even.
Learning to tackle my trauma has given me a lot of good skills honestly. And life is a lot better now than when I was a kid.
Pax it really does get better, as cheesy as it sounds. i really didn't think i would make it to 18, but here i am. i'm so much better than i was 6 years ago. not perfect and healthy and i'll always have mental illness with me, but i can coexist with it and be happy. sometimes i have down days, but they never last. i promise, you can and will reach a point in life where you are truly happy, even with mental illness, and you look back and are so proud of how far you have come. ❤️
@@CupcakesAreYummy667 at 17, i can agree. i went through hell, but it made me who i am today, and i’ve learnt to make peace with that.
I was OBSESSED with a constant state of ohio when i first heard it and i was so heartbroken when i found out that was the only EP you had!!! hearing it blow up on tiktok was so cool because i was really excited that other people were finding your music and i lost my SHIT at seeing this notif man... theres something so powerful about this one. a lot of songs in the EP felt like a dead end, especially saint bernard and downhill and so hearing this.... i cannot tell you the emotions i felt. your music means a lot to me and hearing this change was so powerful!!!! i almost forgot how incredible the instrumentals on your music are even from a 2 and a half minute song the improvement is fucking BONKERS!! keep doing you man, youre a goddamn gift
you put this into words so well, so happy I’m not alone!!!!
@@Zoe-fd8ll yeah, thank you!!!
It blew up on tik tok??? I’m so excited for him! I felt so alone in my fan mode over Constant State of Ohio lol
@@merrybright5732 yeah, it did! I'm so glad he's getting some recognition, even if it's mainly for the one song- that ep SLAPPED
exact same experience ! thank you so much for this comment, i couldn't have put it any better
This sounds like it should be the background music while a teenager trespasses in an abandon carnival and there are montages of it run down and all lovely and still running
God bless you I love that idea
I could make a story board of this at some point because it’s a really sick idea?
@@Wwheaton totally! That sounds like it would be awsome
Bow I want to animate this I'm so mad at you hahaha!
@@Trippindots661 everyone can animate it!!! Different takes on it would be so cool
this song sounds like how being manic at christmas feels
too fucking real
was manic at christmas, can confirm
It’s almost Christmas and I’ve been drove insane this year
Hey what the hell what a coincidence
*jingle bells, jingle bells*
"Distant gunfire"
This one honestly creeps me out more than the original. It feels like it’s trying its best to be lighthearted and upbeat, while still having a dark and depressing undertone. It sounds like chaos at some parts, and after having listened to the first one so many times, this one just gives me the creeps. It’s perfect. It perfectly captures the feeling that *something* is wrong.
I feels like they were broken and singing in pained resignation.
you can rly feel the dissonance in the bg and the screaming is very present
Felt the same! Glad someone could put it down into words
I think its trying to signify that things are doing better, therefore the lighter tune, but feeling 100% better is still a bit away, so it still sounds a bit broken and disturbing.
Like Riptide (see the official video)
HES BACK OH MY GOD
MY EARS MELTED WHEN I SAW THIS
I KNOW I THINK 2020 IS HEALED
He's sitting at the top of the driveway again
Okay I'll cringe at this one year from now
Immagine feeling moved by Saint Bernard, then end up sobbing loudly at Saint Bernard 2 even though it is more upbeat and cheerful.
Definitely not me what are you talking about
What got to you in this version?
@@eveleene3613 "Make me love myself so that I might love you". It reminds me of someone very close to me who passed away a few months ago.
R/suspiciouslyspecific
version 1 made me angry, and want revenge. this one makes me feel regret, yet somehow, also the opposite of regret. like knowing what you and them did was bad but still treasuring those memories. like even after all this time those meaningless things have meaning. thats what this makes me feel.
that's a beautiful way of interpreting the song
the tone of this song leaves me with the same feeling i have when i think about the bad times of my childhood now that i have overcome them
since i haven’t seen any others, here are the lyrics to the song :>
I hung pictures of patron saints up on my wall
To remind me that I was a fool
To tell me where I came from
And what I thought I could be
As a spoiled little kid
About to leave catholic school
Lord
Please make me love myself
So that I might love You
Lord
Make me a liar
Because I swore to God
Back when swearing still felt like the truth
You let Saint Bernard sit at the top of my driveway
You always said how you loved dogs
I don't know if I count
But I'm trying my best
When I'm howling and barking this song
I hung pictures of patron saints up on my wall
To remind me that I was a fool
To tell me where I came from
And what I thought I could be
As a spoiled little kid
About to leave catholic school
Lord
Please make me love myself
So that I might love You
Lord
Make me a liar
Because I swore to God
Back when swearing still felt like the truth
You let Saint Bernard sit at the top of my driveway
You always said how you loved dogs
I don't know if I count
But I'm trying my best
When I'm howling and barking this song
I hung pictures of patron saints
Up on my wall
To remind me that I was a fool
To tell me where I came from
What I thought I could be
As a spoiled little kid
About to leave Catholic school
Or please make me love myself
So that I might love you
Or make me a liar
'Cause I swore to God
Back when swearing
Just felt like the truth
Saint Bernard sit at the top of my driveway
You always say how you love dogs
I don't know if I count
But I'm trying my best
When I'm howling and barking these songs
I heard lord instead of or
Thanks for the lyrics, I’m stupid so without ‘em I couldn’t have understood half of it
Thank youuuuu💕💕
Thank youuuuu💕💕
@@voidsoul8373same:0
gonna keep it real with you chief this is not what i was expecting
deadass
it was so good tho 😔
A bit disappointed but.. it's good ig
This kinda feels like growing up
I was thinking the same thing!!!! A lot of people are commenting how they listened to the first part however long ago, and now this make it feel like a full circle... I think that’s the point! Like the first diary page vs the last. I also feel some kind of closure.
I wonder why all the satan and st Calvin stuff was taken out in this version. I’ve been trying to put into words what I think the story difference is and honestly I can’t, it’s more of a feeling
He was 19 when he made the first EP “A constant state of Ohio”, that EP was more him processing his adolescence and all the anger/discomfort/angst that came with it. This track, Saint Bernard 2 is about how he has grown past that angst. Notice how everything is written in past tense? It’s a way to say he used to be this way but he is growing as a person and maturing into adulthood.
@@justkevdc My god, you described it beautifully.
@@justkevdc Honestly, this song fits just in time with my life. I've been striving to let go of my anger and angst ever since I turned 18, and I was stuck in a limbo where my music playlist was either too optimistic or too pessimistic. This song is the perfect middle, and it made me feel like I had something to accompany me into my transition as a fully fledged adult. I'm really happy I have one more thing to lessen my loneliness :)
and that's on ✨ RELIGIOUS TRAUMA ✨
flashback to when my family told me i would go to hell if i told people i liked both genders
Me.
Wait so they only care if you tell people, so you can still make out with both a girl and a guy, just don’t tell them you’re bi. It would be very awkward but loopholes must be found
@xXSunflower FandersSidesXx unfortunately many people would disagree on that
@@you_gullible_fucc we'll eliminate them all.
this song is about recovering from it, or moving on. i love it
this version feels like im singing in the choir at church but im out of place and theres a sick sinking feeling in my stomach
I feel the same sinking feeling in my stomach as I hear it
Comparing it to the First Saint Bernand you can really see a change, stylistically, musically and even with the subtle lyrical changes that show that you’ve grown.
I remember listening to Saint Bernard as some form of comfort in 7th grade when I was still being forced to go to church. I was realizing that I had lost my belief in the God my parents wanted me to believe in. I felt so ashamed and I desperately wanted to feel less alone. I'm almost 16 now, and I haven't been to church in years. I'm doing better now, I think
I hope all of y'all reading this are doing better now too.
this is genuinely making me choke up. saint bernard was the one song that i grasped onto during my worst moments, and while everything isnt the best right now, it's better. this might be a slight bit indulgent but i see this song as looking back on trauma or the worst times of life, and coming to terms with it, or at least acknowledging it. something about the organy/piano tune playing along still reminds me of the religious themes from the first one, but to me it feels like that odd feeling i get when i still attend church with my family for the holidays. the beliefs of people around me hurt me, but im not going to let that do anything to me anymore. something about this song just gives me the melancholy vibes of looking back on both good and bad times and how we grew from it. or whatever :p
Same tho, One day life will be like Saint Bernard 2
I liked immediately. This new version is so interesting and gives off a really friendly vibe! The original is lovely but this one really gives new aspects and of course the music brightens everything up incredibly! The edited lyrics make a big difference to show this different song. Overall, good job.
The first song came out when I was living in an abusive household, and now that I've escaped and I'm beginning the healing process and doing a lot of reflecting, this song comes out. I'm crying.
It's gonna have to grow on me for sure, but I love the layered vocals.
Saint Bernard 2: Electric Boogaloo
Literally
Honestly this one makes me more nervous than the first one.
The first one feels like soaking in apathy, hopeless and not exactly comfortable but there's no sense of impending doom. It feels like you're already in the dark, laying on the ground and just _done_ with it all. The worst had already come, and it broke you. Or maybe I'm just projecting.
This one feels like burning lies. It has tense anticipation and it feels chaotic, as if he's having a mental breakdown. The lights are on, but they're flickering, and when they finally burn out, that's when the others come out to play.
This song makes me feel like I've been indoctrinated.
The past tense reflection with lingering religious overtones and removal of more rebellious lyrics make me feel like I have lost the will to resist.
Shaky resonance in the chorus gives me a sense of "just trying to fit in."
The carnival like tone at the end and rocky inflections suggest some sort of forced happiness.
All of this combined just gives me a sense of overwhelming complacency.
So I'm not the only one! Everyone else described it as happy and uplifting, while I found it so unsettling! Like how it's dissonant at some parts, gives me this awful feeling in my stomach... I don't know, it sounds awfully creepy to me, kinda the same feeling Saint Bernard gave me the fist time I heard it.
Jack Hoffmor first one is more hopeful this one is more resigned imo
@@ennibee6684 Yeah, that dissonance is definitely the main reason I feel like this song is more about a facade than any genuine happiness. Its a very subtle touch, but it implies a lot.
@@lincolnsthename The first one definitely gets me motivated and ready for some mornings. That's for sure.
That's a new perspective, damn. Its morbid and I love it.
This sounds like a person looking back at their past in a bitter sweet way, they knew they were in a damaged metal state but has finally healed.
They know new challenges are coming their way but, for just a little while, looks back and finally accepts the past and their pain they once had, moving on and going onto bigger challenges.
Beautiful analysis, I felt the same way
This comment made me cry
thank you for the serotonin, kind sir.
this feels like the bitter sweet ending to a dystopian film where the two main characters fail in their quest to save the world but are ultimately content with their demise and watch the last nuclear sunset as the world implodes
Man
This feels like
He got better emotionally and wanted to come back and rewrite his edgy depressed lyrics
i'm turning 18 today and this is the first song i listened to, because i just woke up and i had it in my sub box.
not regretting it at all. feels like a throwback to the times when i listened to the original years ago.
happy belated birthday!!!
@@jrosewater thanks a lot!!!
The ending sounds off
Like a cliffhanger
Smokey eyes 2?
smokey eyes, they were feeling good
I miss being with you then
We waited far too long
Sat there excited for a when
You’ve lost the bitter flavor and finished the sweeter drink
I still wish I knew what you wanted me to think
this is fantastic- just transformative. it brought me back to listening to saint bernard for the first time years ago, hearing the first couple seconds and knowing i was in love but this time it was different. I mean we're different now but I thought i knew what to expect but I didn't and that ending!! just goose bumps. thank you and to everyone who worked on this- also nice to have you back :)
Right? A lot of us listened to it when we were young, vulnerable and hurt. Releasing this song felt like him applauding us for growing up, for making it this far and sticking it out. I'm glad we all found our way back to this song
Saint Bernard 1 is a song that I would scream out of anger. This one sounds like something that I would scream alone when I’m in the middle of a mental breakdown.
This song made me go through three character arcs in two and a half minutes
As a trans kid who went to a religious school my entire life and was constantly shamed and isolated from my peers, Saint Bernard meant so much to me and this song really feels like I can begin to move on from that part of my life and make peace, thank you
For about five years I suffered from severe OCD, it filled my head with horrible intrusive thoughts and painful rituals and ticks, it separated me from my mother and farther and stopped me doing the things I used to love, I couldn’t see my father, couldn’t pet my dogs, had to wash my hands over and over and over and I’d be kept up all night with ticks that caused me emotional and physical distress. I’d listen to the original Saint Bernard every so often.
Here I am now, about two years back into being fully connected with my parents with the vast majority of my OCD dead and gone and when I first listen to Saint Bernard two I think nearly burst into tears, this song will always be about recovery to me, it’ll always be about finally getting out of the storm and seeing the people I love waiting there for me on the other side.
I mean also this song fuckin slaps but shhhhh I’m being ✨deep✨
it’s been three years. holy shit. not what i expected when opening youtube but god am i thankful for it.
The original feels like the end of long day work. This one feels like you get to the pub and everybody else is feeling the same way
When you told me on Twitter that you were coming back soon, I didn't think you meant this soon!
@@sunnyflowerzzz check the description of the vid
I’m actually in tears at this, the sense of catharsis I got is overwhelming. It feels like the ending credits song, the kind that was a song used earlier in the movie/show/game whatever, and you just get chills hearing the new version, and I just...thank you. I can’t quite describe the emotions this is bringing me, but it’s more human than I’ve felt in weeks
Me too, me too.
This song feels different than the first. It almost feels bitter, rather than angry. It seems like the subject matter is different. Rather than trying to cope with religious trauma, it feels as if you were expecting for your naivity and sorrow to dissapear as you got older. All that came of maturity was self-reflection and more hurt, so you're bitter. You're desperate. You now have to face reality and come to terms with the fact that this will always be part of you, whether you like it or not. When he says the line "Lord please make me love myself so that I might love you", it feels like the "you" is referring to the past tense of yourself, rather than God (like it was in the first one). As if trying to come to terms with the fact that the old you, was in fact, the same you as the you now. Trying to learn to love yourself by accepting your past. "You always said how you loved dogs, I don't know if I count but I'm trying my best," feels like being ashamed of your childhood. Struggling to make yourself become the person you knew the younger you would want to be. Trying to make up for what happened then, as if it was your fault.
Ooh, I love this interpretation of "you" being his past self. "You always said you love dogs. idk if I count but I'm trying my best" as in trying to be something you as a kid would have liked is awesome.
This makes me feel an emotion that doesn't exist ....
i told myself i wouldnt listen to this till i graduated bc someone said this sounds like getting better. guess who graduated... i loved saint bernard 1 since it first released when i was still in middle school and i still love it and now this too and the rest of Linolin's songs. keep making bangers!
congratulations!
Everybody talking about how the first version was the,, low point " and this one is when everything got better...well I kinda do not agree?
It feels like they just broke him. Forced his opinions on him, that what he is, is wrong.He started to believe it and completely changed himself to what they wanted him to be. Forced him to believe that this is right. And he believes it. He believes that this is the right version of him, when in reality its not him, its just what they wanted him to be. All that because of some ideals
Guys this is literally Saint Bernard (reprise). The first is low, dark, and puts a weird pain in your chest. This, however, is mostly the same lyrics but in a "post original" context, and grander and upbeat. This is the bittersweet ending to a story. This is the song that plays right before curtains at a musical. This is the ending that we arrived at through all our hardships, our last hurrah to recognize the troubles of the past, but put them to rest.
Yoooooooo good to have you back.
I feel like this song represents that Lincoln was in a dark place when he made the first one, i think because it was in past tense he might have gotten over that stage of his life for the better, you can listen to the first on and hear that it sounds dark, and sad, but this one is more upbeat, I think this is a very nice concept :)
stupid ugly rat lol dude I can’t find your other comment now but I appreciate the feedback and it’s so funny cus this one was put together basically by me and my friend in apartments and Saint Bernard was recorded in like a multimillion dollar studio. This was kinda a one off thing cus covid pushed recording back so I just made it at home. Im making album in the studio again soon hopefully you dig some of that thank you!
okay i actually love this as a sequel because it's so open? the overall more cheerful tone makes it seem like a happy or bittersweet ending but there's also a lot more chaos and dissonance here that sounds like it's trying to convince you that everything is okay despite it not being okay.
it might be a really personal thing but imo the first one is very strongly about religious trauma and viewing oneself as sinful and bad because you can't properly obey or be what you "should" be. this one doesn't feel like you've broken free, but more like you've submitted and repressed all of your doubt and all of your trauma in favor of being "good". like deep down you know you're still in pain, you're still being abused, but you just need to pretend to be "good" for a while.
i love all of the positive interpretations though!! this is just my take
I love every aspect of this version, but by God is that orchestral jazz part from 1:09 to 1:46 immaculate.
I haven't cried this hard in years. I think this is the hardest I've ever cried to a song. I didn't think something so simple as a remake of a song I used to listen to when sad would mean this much to me. I really needed this, this was my closure. thank you.
This makes me happy bc u can tell hes less broken than before
feels like im in a church, praise be
Oh? Have you heard the original?:)I think you’d like it:)
@@catwhiskers4885 at this point i'd be surprised if i haven't.
uhh this is a song about religious trama-

Hello! I am going on tour in November with Hope Waidley. Full band sets, new songs, old songs, please come it’ll probably be fun somewhat I hope. Link is here thank you all www.songkick.com/artists/544705-lincoln
Did i start sobbing hearing this song? Yes. This is such a relief to hear this song again. Through all the hard times we've been through this has been on repeat and the is just bringing it all together in a beautiful song. Hits close to home and honestly it felt like a weight was lifted off me at the end of the song. Beautiful work
It seems like each part embodies different stages in a peron's life who was raised in a toxic religious home.
In the first one, the person is still living under the same roof or just left and is dealing with bitterness from the mistreatment they've had to endure.
In the second, time has passed, and they've been able to heal and look more towards the future.
This hits harder after you mature and shit if you understand it hits home when you’ve been through crap and this is the glorious end that awaits
Ok but he perfectly replicated the EXACT bouncy piano rhytm of literally every church band
this feels like growing up and coming to terms with yourself and your traumas, which is strangely fitting for when i found the first song and then this one
I played Saint Bernard starting 8th grade. I was so angry. Im not angry anymore.
I just listened to the first song a couple hours ago and am obsessed with it, perfect timing for me!
The serotonin levels are overwhelming, i just, i just feel too many emotions to see more music
Honestly, all though I adore both of these songs but I love the fact that you can tell he's grown so much in this version. I'm very proud.
This feels like it came right out of the 60s instead of late 2020
i used to cry to saint bernard on loop and hearing this now feels....peaceful
this gave ✨happie chemical✨
everyone says this sounds like new beginnings, and i suppose it does. But it reminds me of someone who didn’t really change. Hes still the spoiled little kid who doesn’t love himself. It sounds dysfunctional. Off, something isn’t right. It feels like whoever’s singing this song hasn’t learned a damn thing and is just pretending that he changed.
Damn just call me out like that why don’t u😂
@@lincolnsthename lmaooo
@@lincolnsthename sorry man
This just feels surreal- to remeber the og and then this feels so much lighter- I can memorize the other one but this feels like a fuckin fever dream, I love both- nice Lincoln, I love your songs, thank you for these masterpieces of songs
I remember listening to Saint Bernard when I saw 12, I'm Turning 15 I'm June. I listened to the first one when I was going through some stuff and I'm very happy to have found the second one while I'm in a much better place in my life.
Kind of stupid but growing up in a protestant saturated house this is quite cathartic especially the first St. Bernard. I'm just kind of waiting till I can either gather the courage to dissapoint my parents enough to make then stop bringing me to church or just wait till I leave while slowly realizing that being surrounded by people who pity you for not believing in their god, is probably a chunk of why I don't enjoy being around my family anymore. I'm just tired of suppressing myself around them out of so called "respect".
I feel like this song is exactly what I needed. The optimistic rendition of the lyrics creates this beautiful sense of growth and acceptance. It reminds me that even though I’ve done wrongs in the past, as long as I learn and grow from them, my future shall be bright.
Dang, you can really tell how much your singing has progressed!
I listened to this when i was at my lowest, i cried so hard just listening to this, wow. just. wow. It felt like i was free just listening to this too. I cry listening to this. Good song. 10/10. Great Job Lincoln!!
This was a surprise but GAD DAMN IS IT A PLEASANT ONE. This feels like it's being played on an old piano in a church, it vibes so differently I love this
I seriously love this song so much... as someone who is currently trying to combat my religious trauma, this song really puts it into perspective for me.. and I like it more then the original because of that. It helps me let the past be the past..
This song, the way it sounds and feels religious reminds me of my grandma, a catholic priest and one of the most beautiful and nice people I've ever known, by 1:10 it feels like reliving her death 7 years ago and by the end I just can't manage to breakdown in tears of joy
What a fucking masterpiece
Goodness this puts the old one in a real different light.. like jeez I really like these types of songs where the instruments and the singer sound like their breaking down it always manages to make me tear up ^^
The tears that this song made my eyes shed felt unusually cheerful...
This is absolutely incredible! Everything is beautifully mixed and the over all style is super interesting. Outstanding work from you and everyone involved in the making of this, I can't wait to hear what's to come next. :)
preach my son
Saint Bernard was a song that was there for me during one of the roughest years of my life. I may not ever be the same, and I may not ever view religion or life in general the same bright, optimistic way, but hearing this version felt like such a healing release of that trauma and pain... Thank you so much. :) I'm going to go listen to this on repeat for at least a week now, lol
The first one sounds like the theme to an antagonist absolutely ravaged by depression, something that happened in their past, that would play whenever something happens to them. The second one sounds like the finale to the antagonist, giving them a conclusion, wether that be closure, a dramatic death, or a random dissapearance.
I remember a year ago, I commented on Instagram and a vid asking if you were ok since you seemed depressed. But this is some good shit right here, SOME GOOD CLOSURE HELL YEA
Been listening to the first over and over again all these years.. AND I HAVENT KNOWN ABOUT THIS???!
bruh I can’t wait for Saint Bernard 3
The original has been such a comfort to me through the years as I’ve tried to work through some Issues™️. I actually did finish my fourteenth and final year of catholic school this year. I like how hopeful and triumphant this one is, hope to get there someday
finally something good in 2020
Aaa I love this version so much, it sounds so happy, it’s like something you'd hear at an old timey bar!
I absolutely love your covers and then a constant state of Ohio. I was so sad when you hadn’t really posted much recently. But it was really pleasant to see more people get into your music as time passed and I got pretty hopeful you’d make a comeback.
Anyway, safe to say I lost my shit when I saw the notification, thanks for stopping in again! :)
Iifk if this was intentional, but I really love how at the end the "i don't know if i count but I'm trying my as I'm howling and barking this song" progressively sounds more and more like he's howling the words. Like, the voice cracks/wavers and dissonance REALLY remind me of howling
I get literal chills when listening to this. Absolutely adore this song!
I love that this song is like a reflection on the past. It makes me think about the last few years and I feel like i’ve grown a lot since 2017 when I first heard Saint Bernard :) I’m glad you’re back!
just got the notif from bandcamp at the same time, welcome back
Man. Something about this song feels so much. Like it's just a lot, the tone is so much more hopeful and kind of tired, as someone who made it and is hoping they'll continue to, this one hurts a lot, but in like a good way, it makes me happy
I'm so fucking happy this mans finally going on tour!!!
the GOOSEBUMPS THIS GAVE ME. god this is so beautiful
