LYRICS
Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream
Make her the cutest that I've ever seen
Give her two lips like roses and clover
And tell her that her lonely nights are over
Sandman, I'm so alone
Don't have nobody to call my own
Please turn on your magic beam
Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream
Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream
Make her the cutest that I've ever seen
Give her the word that I'm not a rover
And tell her that her lonely nights are over
Oh, Sandman, I'm so alone
Don't have nobody to call my own
So please turn on your magic beam
Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream
Oh, Sandman, bring us a dream
Make her the cutest that I've ever seen
Give her two lips like roses and clover
And tell her that her lonely nights are over

Here's TIM: a short film featuring my cover of "Mr. Sandman." What a beautiful statement this has grown into. Itâs an honor to be included in it and to be able to see it progress over the past few months. Very humbled and thankful to John Grammatico, the director, and everyone involved. Importantly, thank you for using something I created in such a beautiful creation of your own. Cheers to you!
And I thank you for creating this wonderful cover of the song. I am a huge fan of yours and I love your songs.
i love this. đ»đ
Thank you for make me feel good with your music Brian
This is amazing x please never stop creating, you continue to inspire me all the time Brianđ
I love you already..!!!
itâs like nobody could see her until she felt truly seen
Well said.
This is it.
You should read about the invisible child by Tove Jansson!
My Account thank you and i will!
Pauline shit thatâs deep
2:07 i just noticed that the goth girl cried when she opened the drawing.
we all thought that it was the 'invisible' girl that was unnoticed by society, when in fact, i think that the goth girl was the true invisible one. she was always alone and when she saw the drawing, it baffled her so much when she realized that someone was... admiring her.
only when the hoodie girl became visible after she gave her drawing to the goth girl. only then was she noticed by the one she admires from afar.
truly, this is amazing shit. this video deserves awards.
woah ur so right. ur theory rly correlates with the lyrics: "tell her that her lonely nights are over" the singer is lonely and wants a love who also happens to be lonely and the singer wants to comfort them.
i think they were both invisible and when they found eachother they both came to realize that someone cared about them
She didnât cry itâs just her makeup at 1:32 you can see it, itâs part of her eyeliner
@@bobbiemason7912 oh your right lol i can see it better now

I forgot how good storytelling can change everything.
AS SOON AS I SAW THE CUFFED PANTS I WAS LIKE THIS MAN CANNOT BE STRAIGHT AND I WAS RIGHT THEY WERENT STRAIGHT BUT THEY WERENT A MAN SO LIKE IDK
I KNOW RIGHT ?? CARGO PANTS = GAY I love it
I do too and I am not
I got that feeling.
WHAT THE FUCK YOU GUYS WANT FROM CUFFED PANTS
RasenKiri basically all bisexuals really have their pants cuffed. But as a short person I HAVE to cuff them
Ahhhh, heteronormativ thoughts you beat me again xDD
That's what I thought :D
It was also that the name drawn on the locker was Tim so... đ
I didn't know girls could be called Tim..
deszogles this is the first time I am the 1000 like, thank you for being here
same
I love the gay plot twist.
Hey peppermint!
me niether
THIS. IS. LESBIAN!
@@LuckyLucky-qe9ch the word gay means that two people of the same gender are in a relationship, but the word lesbian is mainly/ only for two females
@@JesusChrist-py1qp exactly and it's two females so LESBIAN not GAY
did not expect the gay but I gladly welcome it
Carolyn H. I saw u had exactly 100 hundred likes so I didnât like it to keep it even, I hope u donât mind. Once it goes to uneven then I will!
Lol donât worry about it
Carolyn H. Oh! I liked it now so there you go. Lol
Lesbian*
â@@kandade4563 In modern English, gay has come to be used as an adjective, and as a noun, referring to the community, practices and cultures associated with homosexuality. In the 1960s, gay became the word favored by homosexual men to describe their sexual orientation. By the end of the 20th century, the word gay was recommended by major LGBT groups and style guides to describe people attracted to members of the same sex. -so i guess gay goes for woman woman too"?
I like that it doesn't show if they got together or not. It was about living your own life, taking chances, and being yourself, not about the romance between them. It's a different take on the "romance story" and I love it
I thought i was going to see a cute boy... oh but than there came a cute girl! you know i cried this was so cute and amazing!
Yeah cheers mate
Yeah
I swear to god I thought it was a boy but kept watching forcing my brain to make me think that it is a girl...... And omg I squealed getting to know that it was a girllllđ đ
Me a gay, not expecting the gay: and i oop-
Bro, ITS LESBIAN!
@@LuckyLucky-qe9ch gay and lesbian is th same thing
Amiah_ leihanna18 hahahaha okay
@@jdhndjhdmdnhdj4145 yup, exactly
@@LuckyLucky-qe9ch gay can be use for homosexual men and homosexual women. Idk why but its like that.
Talk about a plot twist.. damn didnt expect a girl...i love it more now aghhh
Nothing more to say than: WOW!đ€
Me: please be a girl
*cuffed jeans*
Me: good itâs a girl
Same lmao
How do cuffed jeans mean a girl? Or even gay?
@@Aaron-yb7rm lesbians or women who are attracted to women and other genders usually wear and most of them commonly wear to show that they are gay so.
@@Atszz Okay, I understand if they wore a style to show or represent what they are, I just don't understand how cuffed jeans got related to gays or the lgbtq+ community. I know a lot of straight people who wore cuffed jeans, that's why I am confused
@@Aaron-yb7rm because LGBTQ people wear them the most idk how you're confused i explained this very well its not that hard to understand.
Wow was not expecting that. This is brilliant!
Came here for the song, stayed for the story. Honestly one of the best short films I've ever seen! Wish I found it sooner.
I'm not crying you are đđđ
whats there to cry about
I'm not crying the room is just uhh dusty
iâm crying
Why would you be crying
I'm not.
Kinda thought this was gonna end with a school shooting but the surprise gayness was just as twisty. Enjoyed it
sameee xD i tought i was only there with dark toughts
Clara Flos WELP
Lol đ
This track can make any film give you a strong emotional response but in this case the video matched it perfectly, well done!
My bi-heart is aching đ„ș
A friend has just sent me this song, but she doesn't watch MVs... I've been obsessed with the singer's voice, music and lyrics so I decided to check out this short film. Now I'm actually trying not to cry, it's so relatable to a lot of people including me... Thank you to the creators, in my opinion it's a masterpiece đđ»đ„șđ„°
I just got chills all over my body during the entire video... It's perfect. I can't even find the right words, so powerful. â€
Can anybody talk about how good the music actually is?
No
Yes, i always loved SYML, the video is so good but his voice is from other world
How could anyone hate this?! Itâs a work of ingenuity and emotion!
As everyone's already admired the lesbian representation, I'm going to take a step back and admire the story that got passed on without words which is really hard to do but the acting and writing was beautiful and the story came across so wonderfully with room for thought and I just yes.
Wooooow I love this so much, the music goes really well, and gives it a somber vibe!!
No one:
Literally nobody:
School administrators: HATS ARE DRESS CODE!!!!!!!!
This is such a beautiful film. Amazing.
I'm feeling so grateful. Like really, truly grateful. Thank you so much. This short film just hit me in so many ways I can't even begin to explain, it's almost like I can feel what she's feeling, like I'm her. Just thank you all so much for this song, this short film and this work of art itself.
Mara Abelha Thank YOU, for sharing this. Iâm touched that it resonates for you.
Wow.. wasnt expecting that!! Thank you - a gay girl who never sees representation
Is lesbian, no gay
@@kandade4563 dumbo it's literally the same lmAo. Lesbian is can also be called gay because gay just means someone who likes the same sex and a lot of lesbians don't like the word bc it's over sexualized to please get informed first before saying sum
"Never sees representation" yeah right you guys get it all the time stfu
R/woosh
@@halfasleep7331 I am. Mmmm crack.
A film like the descent of a roller coaster. Absolutely wonderful and an incomprehensibly much too unknown short film gem. Everyone I showed it to was as breathless and speechless as I was the first time.
This means a lot to me. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts.
I got so confused when i realised that it was a GIRL. So creative as always â€
Confused?
iâm guessing youâre straight lmao
It took me a while to realize that was a girl and now I feel bad..

That's how love gives us colour
What a beautiful story. Didn't even need words to be told to be profound.
THIS SHORT FILM HAS BECOME THE CENTER OF MY UNIVERSE OMG I LOVE IT SO MUCH
HUGE TURN!!!! I THOUGHT IT WAS A BOY!!
BRAVO BRAVO đđđđđ
Ooh this is beautiful :) I love how the goth girl does the makeup between her eyebrows
this not only touched me because it's just a genuinely good story, but also because i can sorta see myself in multiple aspects of this.
the song - every so often i get sorta sad that i don't have a partner yet. i'm okay being single, but i do want to experience the joys of a romantic relationship. the song really encapsulates how i feel in those wistful moments.
t.i.m. pov - i struggle sometimes with feeling sorta lonely and invisible in school. i'm autistic so meeting people is hard; i need them to come to me because i don't know how to initiate a conversation with a stranger and keep it going, and they very rarely do. also at the end of the school year this year, i asked a girl if she wanted to hang out over the summer. i liked her and it seemed like she liked me too, but after i gave her my number she just never used it and sort of politely put off having to hang out, which i could tell meant she wasn't interested. but even after that i still felt a sort of relief; i did everything i could possibly do, i faced my giant fears, and even though it didn't go how i had hoped, i still cleared up any uncertainty. i'll meet the right person someday. i'm not gonna give up. i have no idea how long the search will take, but it will come to a happy conclusion.
goth girl pov - on very rare occasions, i have experienced being genuinely noticed (and not just the thing that happens to autistic people where they pretend to be your friend as if you're some sort of rare creature, which has also happened). i don't always notice it when it happens, but i'll notice in retrospect and it'll make me feel good. one time i've even had a girl genuinely hit on me 3 times (that i recall) in the span of 2 years. i didn't fully clock it or know how to respond back then, but i still think about it because it makes me happy to know that someone found me desirable enough to keep trying even though i just couldn't take a very obvious hint for the life of me.
this comment ended up being longer than i thought it would, but in summary, this video hit way too hard for me and it is a masterpiece that i cannot stop rewatching.
This was pure genius! The fact that none of us expected the end, makes it even more brilliantly done and beautiful!
The girl in this looks like older hope from the legacies and the originals
I see what you mean
That's what I was thinking
OMG ur so right
AliandMoe YES I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING

wondering if this ever won an Oscar or something for best short film; one of the best I've seen
You are too kind.
itâs mid
@@jacketmailithink2076 Haha. Appreciate your point-of-view.
â@@johngrammatico6345 please... tell me you Won something with this INCREDIBLY short. I have no words... this is PERFECTION.
@@shanshizz It did okay in some festivals. Official Selection in a few Oscar-Qualifiers, and it won a Webby. But that stuff isnât nearly as cool as having SYML proud of it and commenters liking it. I win every time I read nice words about it. So thanks!!
Omg one of the best thing I've watched on CZcams lately.
Came to watch this after listening it on "behind her eyes" ... Web series is a treat to watch & it suits the scene too đ
This is so cute!!!!I love how it his explains how people can feel and how different they can be.
I love this version
Was not expecting all this representation I love it so much! â€ïž
I feel so related. Mrs Sand man bring me a dream
The song is beautiful â€ïž
That was the cutest plot twist ever
Woow I am so impressed with the story telling. This is insane!
Love that you liked it! Thank you for sharing.
The plot twist is incredibly good đ
I mean I knew I'm an emotional wreck but I started to cry (I guess out of surprise and happiness?) when the invisible person turned into a girl. I'm so touched
Music makes more sense when you encapsulate it with a story....this one gave me goosebumps....đ
Goosebumps damn
Great twist at the end. Clever take on the âinvisibleâ, good message film and fit with the music.
I'm crying... Thank you for the filmđ€
At first i couldnt understand it totally but when i rewatched it i realized that in the first shot there is a sentence by oscar wilde on the Wall behind tim so i now have to admit that this is just amazing
Your music and your stories are so eye opening... This is stunning.
Perfect movie with perfect music
I love everything about this!!! I have chills~!!!
She's adoreble cute đ they both are!
now this is a piece of art â€
Art and people are the key to finding yourself
BUENĂSIMA
Goosebumps
This is just, wow, Iâm kinda speechless, this is amazing. Plzzz make more.
I love this đ
I need a sequel!
Fantastic cover of that classic song.
Every time I listen to this song I get 5 mental breakdowns at once. How can this be so depressing and still I am addicted to it...
I love love loveee this song
I've just heard your version of Sandman in "Behind her eyes" - I think it's the best I've ever heard. Hypnotizing. :-) And it's a great match with the atmosphere from the series.
this is literally everything.
