I almost feel like there is meaning behind the video.. like the projector showing the past adventures, and wearing her medieval get up represented her looking into the past and dwelling on it or her looking into a fantasy world. but when the lyrics say “real people do” it shows herself now, aka REAL Momo, and what I’d assume no makeup. And that represents her in reality looking on this fantasy world wishing she was in it. And when the projector goes white it shows Momo snapping back into reality, realizing that she needs to take action for what she needs to do. P.S. that projector had to be blinding her oh my gosh.. and these are just my thoughts, I could be reading into it too much but whatever!!! Edit: Oml thank you for 240 likes!! This is my most likes comment!!
no i see the same thing! .... but slightly different, for some reason i take it as all of her expectations are being projected on to her, and "real people do" signifies who she is when the camera isn't around, the real momo (which all of us love and adore anyway)
I did want to leave it up to interpretation (and I love yours) but I will say it was inspired by people thinking that I have an online "persona". That as soon as I put on pastels and a wig, it suddenly was a completely different person. My art and how I present myself is me, just set on fire. It hurt to hear people, sometimes my friends, say "Mo Mo" and "Morgan" as if they were two different people. Whether i'm in front of a camera and performing, or wearing sweatpants and depressed, its all still me. The concept of "Real People" stuck with me that way.
meaning theory: all of the happy & perfectly edited videos of MoMo’s adventures are projected onto her human image... which is flickering back and forth from MoMo as herself and MoMo in character. Yet her visage remains the same.... kind of stoic, cold, and broken down. I kind of interpret the video projection as symbolizing the burden of having your life broadcasted online/social media in general. Like, the videos/images you create and curate for your online platforms are a distorted (if not better) reality. This grows to become a weight and often a burden. (As we see with the contrasting MoMos). The two MoMos, to me, represent the process of navigating your on and offline selves (the real you and the idealized you). And the video finishes with the in-character MoMo/idealized online self tiredly walking up to and adjusting the camera. Which I see as hopping back on that social media work grind. Because it’s the just the way the world is now, and we’re all obligated to keep up with it. 😲 I’m also 100% projecting my own shit into this so idk...! 😂 what do y’all think!! 😁 I loved this video. It really made me think. 🤍
I feel like the video represents how social media and movies and music glamorize an "ideal" experience of life that's happy and beautiful and fun and perfect. Momo's own videos showcase these amazing perfect adventures that are so fun to watch, but larping itself is a staged or fabricated experience. There's a disconnect. And I don't know if this song is specifically meant to be Momo exploring her own relationship between what it's like to be a content creator and produce a specific brand and image and how exhausting that can be to maintain for an audience, or an exploration from someone with a mental health perspective of how dangerous it can be to compare your own day-to-day life to these super glamorized and fabricated experiences. When you do that your own life can feel broken, unexciting; it can feel like you are living wrong. But that's not the case. Real life isn't all grand exciting adventures, and that's sad, but we can create small magic in our own everyday life. We all need to work on just loving ourselves as we are, and not comparing ourselves all the time to idealized, fabricated, and ultimately unattainable images. While Momo's larps are incredible and her characters are fleshed out amazing creations to watch, Momo herself, bare-faced, no-wig, being so vulnerable is the real wonder. Because she created all of these things!! All of these genuine and real-feeling things! She is an incredible artist and so much more than the characters she portrays, both on tik tok and on youtube. So thank you Momo
Your singing, and in fact all your content, never ceases to give me all the feels. I could gush forever, but for now I will just say this is amazing, thank you for bestowing this tremendous gift upon us.
That first initial stark shot of you without all the make-up or wig, just a bright light on your face was cinematically genius Every moment from there was beautiful
I’m crying??? Mo Mo that was beautiful! I loved your voice and hadn’t watched the video yet, but when I tell you I cried in my car! 😂 I’m so happy to see you doing things you enjoy because you enjoy them! It shows that you love what you do!
I’ve loved you and your channel since I was 9. And now I’m 14, going into high school. Every single one of your videos is so nostalgic and whimsical for me even now. I love and adore you Mo Mo, you were and are my childhood❤
It's been a long while since i added a song to my "inspirational music" playlist here on youtube. The whole thing is getting outdated, reflecting a younger wide-eyed'er self that was moved and instilled with hope and a sense of unity by songs that really no longer resonate with me. Yet as i finally found your youtube channel, and with it this cover, i was once again moved by a song which wants to carry hope yet whose base is sadness. I feel a sense of urgency and a fire blazing in my soul stoked from the embers in my chest, just as i did as a young teen. So today, like i did all those years ago, i added a song to that playlist. And ooh boy does this song feel right at home there.
This is one of the absolute loveliest covers you've done, I've been listening to it on repeat for the last 3 days because I'm... maybe a bit obsessed. Just a bit.
Ahhhh!!! This uploaded 18 seconds ago! I already love this cover! You make everyone who watches you so insanely happy! It’s such a gift! You have such a beautiful voice! Keep singing and filming!! Love ya!
This song and video is strongly tied to covid for me. Considering when it came out, its a easy bridge for my brain to build between them, but i truly dont think i have come across a video and song combination that feels the same way lockdown did as this one. Something sweet, and comforting; wrapped up in fear, uncertainty, and exhaustion. It and chocolate have a special place in my heart
Okay Momo, I love your works as a vlogger of travel/larper, but I need to admit, that i might just love your work as an artist even more! :O It amazes me how much creativity and love you have for life as a whole, keep it up, you are as pure hearted as one could ever be! :)
After I heard your cover for this song during your Ren Fair video, I legitimately tried to see if the full version existed on its own. The gods have answered my prayers!
Your voice makes me cry. I’m not a sensible person and I don’t cry unless I’m in really big pain but your voice is just so beautiful. I can’t even describe it you sound like an angel.
HOLY SHIT. THIS IS FUCKING INCREDIBLE. The emotional impact of this video is more than most feature length films. This is immediately one of my favourite videos I have EVER seen. MoMo you are an incredible artist ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Ohh WOW. How to discribe feelings again? Such great music, such an awesome voice, such an artful video. This was realy realy beautiful. Thank you sooo much
This video is absolutely stunning and the instrumental is incredible! I would love to see this cover on Spotify. You look amazing whether you wear the makeup or not 💕
This video gives me serious lockdown nostalgia where I'd watch this video and cry and wish I could go outside and see others again. Your videos helped me so much the past year and a half
I loooove this song, and it made me so happy to hear it in your renn faire video, thank you so much for doing a full cover! Beautifully done in both voice and video editing
Yep this is amazing I think this gave me all the feels. I'm trying not to cry because it's like 5 am. But yeah this was beautiful and real and beautiful because it's real. Ugh gosh I'm in love with this.
Momo, always keep fighting. Please. Is hard but always keep fighting. We are here for you, your friends and family are there for you. Always keep fighting. You inspire thousands of people daily, you even helped me. You are a beautiful person that makes lives better for so many... please be safe
Goddamit I got here when it said 4 minutes ago but I forgot to comment 😂 Also your voice is angelic(a) as always!!! You’re so beautiful I literally can’t!!! 💜💜💜💜
started crying when I saw her natural look at "like real people do..."
Lydia Schroeder same
Me: “hell yes hozier!”
Me: *plays the video and hears the opening imstrumental* “wait- oh no hozier.”
I almost feel like there is meaning behind the video.. like the projector showing the past adventures, and wearing her medieval get up represented her looking into the past and dwelling on it or her looking into a fantasy world. but when the lyrics say “real people do” it shows herself now, aka REAL Momo, and what I’d assume no makeup.

bunabee, I like that interpretation!!!
I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING LIKE NEARLY THE EXACT THINg
I looking deep into things like this! Thankyou for spreading your thoughts ☺️
I did want to leave it up to interpretation (and I love yours) but I will say it was inspired by people thinking that I have an online "persona".

me opening this: ok i know i’m gonna cry
Me before: Oh I love this song this is gonna be so vibey
Me after: Well NOW I’m CRYING and I can’t HANDLE THIS akshdjakagj 🥺😰
ME TOO DEE
that’s too relatable

Yes! I think so! I love these kinds of theorys
There’s so much melancholy that it just makes my heartache but at the same time it makes me want to be in a fantasy genre tv drama

Mo Mo, in my eyes and I am sure in a lot of other peoples eyes as well, you are flawless makeup on or not, we love you ❤️
Yes!! I a thousand percent! She's so pretty, and has the most beautiful voice and she's so humorous and sweet!
big big big agree
Totally. We love you AND your characters ❤️
I see Momo, I click. I click fast
Oof. My heart, put somehow to song by his lyrics and your voice. It might be the isolation talking but I want to cry now. This was beautiful
Your singing, and in fact all your content, never ceases to give me all the feels. I could gush forever, but for now I will just say this is amazing, thank you for bestowing this tremendous gift upon us.
Never heard this song before, at least not in full length, but I clicked immediately!! What a stunning voice! Momo, you’re an inspiration :)
I didn't know I needed this in my life but.... well.... Also, to everyone else crying- this is your virtual tissue
Im a gamer but love this larping im probably gonna try this when im a bit older
I love the covers you're doing recently! Always makes me wanna put on a pretty dress and spin in a forest! So beautiful honestly.
Aaahh so beautiful I wanna play your cover at my wedding in February!
That first initial stark shot of you without all the make-up or wig, just a bright light on your face was cinematically genius
Every moment from there was beautiful
I’m crying??? Mo Mo that was beautiful! I loved your voice and hadn’t watched the video yet, but when I tell you I cried in my car! 😂 I’m so happy to see you doing things you enjoy because you enjoy them! It shows that you love what you do!
I need this to be on spotify so I can listen to it on repeat and imagine I'm twirling around in a forest rather than stuck inside self isolating 🌷💕
TotalyNotAFae yes!! I listen to Chocolate multiple times a day on Spotify. I need this too!
I’ve loved you and your channel since I was 9. And now I’m 14, going into high school. Every single one of your videos is so nostalgic and whimsical for me even now. I love and adore you Mo Mo, you were and are my childhood❤
Who else is watching this 2 months after Momo posted this and is kinda low-key scared she doesn't wanna do youtube anymore?
Just me?
Okie-
I could die happy if Mo Mo posted more videos of her singing.
Not only was this lovely to listen to, the visuals were absolutely phenomenal!! Amazing job, Momo!
