Notice that as the song progresses.. the visualization of himself disintegrates as he sings.. "on and on the feelings burst and then they fall.." his reality destabilizes as he spacing out. Just Beautiful. A Masterpiece.
hippo campus is actually a part of the brain that holds memories i think.so its pretty cool to see all the frames are full of scribbles and shapes like trying to forget a terrible memory, or trying to remember a really good one. amazing song too really got me in my feels lol
Exactly!
The hippocampus is in control of long term memory recollection. When you remember something by how it felt at the time, that's your hippocampus doing its thing. When you smell a smell and you remember another time, that's the hippocampus again. And if you drink enough alcohol, you can actually shut down your hippocampus while you're awake, which means you'll only be able to remember things from roughly half a minute ago - that's where the term 'black out drunk' comes from, even though you aren't literally blacked out. Anyone who's been on a successful pub crawl knows the feeling.
Fun fact. Hippo campus is actually the best band
i second that
Colin Evans this is the funnest fact
Colin Evans catfish and the bottlemen
I'm agree with u
Paramore is!
Hippo Campus “Coming Soon”: 1 week. COIN’s “Coming Soon”: 1 and a half years 😍😑
lol
haha you're right! (btw i love coin)
Me too! I’ve been praying for a Hippo Campus/COIN collab for years
Tool's "Coming Soon": 5 years.
Oh fuck you guys are Valentine Club too??
This really speaks to the depersonalisation and obsessive thoughts I experienced when my long term relationship fell apart in the end of last year. Thank you so much for this.
This song captures the feeling of depression and giving up so well. Especially after a relationship gone haywire, this song can continue to pull on heartstrings and bring back memories, yet still bring me to put it on repeat.
It's deep and I wanna know one thing...
Who hurt him?
This mv helped me regain brain cells after the Doubt mv 🥰
so true
HAHAHA yes
Schools got me tired af now im going cross eyed with these colours. Worth it 😍
Marry me
I went to their live concert . Damn!!! They performed perfectly gorgeous!!!!!! Full of energy and passion .
I totally agree! They are so good live!!!
Every single second of this vid is so aesthetically homey
thought that said aesthetically horney for a hot second, I was like yeah I guess?
Josie Johnson same lmfao
The aesthetics of this video are parallel with my mind when I ask myself, “Why even try?” My mind becomes scrambled, but out of it comes beauty and clarity, however paradoxical that sounds. Yay a masterpiece!! 😍
You ain’t deep, Snavely
The Third Nerd aww thanks 😍 have a wonderful day!!
*Flying Sock now 😊

I found this band through a friend and fell in love with the sound. But now we're going through a rough patch and listening to these songs feel like a punch in the gut.
It's the same for me. I asked a friend to listen to them and that person loved them and there music but now we are not friends anymore and we did not have a good ending at all so i feel you. I hope you and your friend get well through it.
love how youtube notifies me after 5 minutes, love that for me
same sis same
Love that for you
thank you for creating a song we all needed
Merch idea: put this video’s thumbnail on an iPhone XR case, or anything Bambi related in general, and I will shell out my paycheck for it 😍😍
Michael Snavely get red rubble
Thanks lol discovered a whole new world 😂
This is what my mind looks like when I listen to music, overthink about depressing crap because I'm a depressed mess of an excuse for a human being, or when I have fun with friends. It's messy, colorful, and full of fun or depressing blotches. I like closing my eyes and watching my imagination drift off. What I think about isn't concrete. They aren't distinct shapes and people, but rather a full mess of shapes and colors that morphs into people, and then collapses in on itself at 100 frames per second, leaving me with nothing to imagine but the beat of the music I listen to because thinking and focusing at one thing is often difficult for me. I'll be thinking of everything, and my mind gets tired enough to finally relax and just bring out shapes and colors that matches the music. I'm sure this is a normal thing for other people. Imaginations could never be as vivid as Jake the dog's. It was trippy watching the video because I would've imagined something similar if I only listened to the audio.
I know this is completely unrelated to the song. I like this song. It's nice and the video goes well with the music.
Midnight Thoughts you’ve described mind. that’s amazing.
I hope y'all are doing okay, I know depression's a mess but speaking from experience when I say it's not impossible to get better. Take care of yourselves.
@@nicodifictional540 I feel embarrassed to find myself reading this comment again. I don't know what was going on in my head when I wrote it.
I'm pretty much fine. I'm working on trying to fix myself. But I do hope that the rest of the people relating to me are getting better though. Or at least trying, with some help of course.
I appreciate you taking the time out of your life to leave a reply. It means a lot.
Midnight Thoughts i’m so happy to hear you’re doing better. on my side your comment just described the emotions and visions i was having while listening to music. we’re all okay ❣️❣️
@@jesslyn8917 lol that's actually really cool
Glad you're okay though 😤👌👌
THIS IS SO GOOD
ok what’s so good about this is that everything is explained through bursting, flashing colors and the chaos each color creates it's honestly so clever and beautiful
i have left my home country for some horrendous situations, i have left my family, friends, places i have know for years and had loved, and i know the lyrics goes " No more us
- No more we - No more you - No more me "
But the only thing that goes in mind is "No more me" repeatedly i have cried to this song so many times that now hearing it makes me smile, althou hurts, and hurts so much .. you guys are amazing
This song makes me feel very nostalgic. It makes me sad and sort of gives me power at the same time.
perfect visual representation of how this song makes me feel every time i listen to it. thank u :)
Hear me out, this song is literally the perfect anthem for LIFE IS STRANGE 2
This reminds me a lot of Basquiat’s work. Stunning music video
When I forgot you, you came to mind
Every trouble, back in your eyes and
It's all cyclical, so why even try?
Why even try to change?
You're yourself way more than I am
Being friends was in the palm of my hand
But I let it fall and break, so why even try?
Why even try to mend?
On and on
The feelings burst and then they fall
Until later on
We walk it back and patch things up
Soon it will all disappear
Maybe I will miss your voice in my ear but
I can’t go back now so why even try
Why even try to hear
No more us
No more we
No more you
No more me
On and on (No more us)
The feelings burst and then they fall (no more we)
Until later on (no more you)
We walk it back and patch things up (no more me)
When I forgot you you came to mind
Every trouble back in your eyes and
I can’t go back now so why even try
You can’t go back now so why even try, no
We can’t go back now so why even try
Why even try to change
Emily Baek sorry but these are wrong :/

Toasty Bun oh ok thanks :)
@@emib9447 "you're yourself way more than i am" is the correct lyric but i used to think it was "know yourself way more than i can" too. i really like that concept as well.
Marry me
melancholy feeling listening to this song with a bit of despair!! seriously they are so underrated
Literally took me 10 seconds into the vid to come to the idea that this is pure art
Favorite from Bambi ❤️ Beautiful mv fitting the song perfectly.
Can’t believe I just used to brush over this song. It’s so lovely and sad at the same time.
Let's go Minnesota! Bob Dylan, prince, and now the greatest band of all time! 😍
This band needs to be popular so I can actually talk about them.
The 1 dislike can just leave. Hippo Campus is like my coffee in the morning and my cereal at night
You eat cereal at night?
@@jacklfitz you don't?
Been having a pretty bad week, let’s just say this is the highlight of my week now.❤️❤️🎶
i can’t express the gratitude that I have for you guys. i have been listening to you since 2015 and honestly, you guys help me out tremendously. I’ve recently come out of a 5 year relationship and your songs pull me out of moods that I didn’t think I could be pulled out of. thank you guys.
Feeling death cab vibes on this one and I love the art so much
y’all... this band means so much to me... THEY’RE SO TALENTED AND THIS MUSIC VIDEO IS JUST PERFECTION WOW can you believe they exist
i love when i discover new artists or bands like this
What an incredible beautiful video!! Love it so much!!
Apenas um comentário português passando pra dizer que essa banda merece mais reconhecimento
essa banda merece o mundo
I literally freaking love them so much this is so good live
This and the “Buttercup” music video are true visual master pieces, delicious candy for the eyes
Amazing!! This looks and sounds like one of those 90's chill pop rock classics that come in the radio from time to time to punch us with nostalgia. Love love love it
visuals and audio go SO well together im in love with the video
They are so good and deserve so much more recognition
two seconds in and it's phenomenal
honestly, your guys’ music videos are so consistently cool that I don’t know why I’m still in awe when I’m watching them anymore
I've been waiting for this the WHOLE DAY
i really love how tender this sounds, especially the chorus.. it's such a bittersweet song and the visuals fit the conflicted feelings so well
I feel like Bambi is probably their best album to date, really fresh sounding instrumentals and good lyrics.
Saw these guys for the second time the other day. Cannot explain the joy I experience when I hear their music
So fudging good, this is the high for my day. Thank y’all so much till the end of time.
This video is the epitome of Hippo Campus.
Harry Potter started an indie band after he defeated Voldemort
Jake Partain this is my favorite comment
Turns out he’s not bad
He also took his namesake, shortened it to “lived” and tuned it into a hipster bumpersticker.
Turns out the dude building quite the empire.
Ohh no
In awe and in love!
This is a song that I wanna listen to when I'm hurting and I don't know where to go from there. Which...is really nice to have. Thanks Hippo Campus ♡
seeing how far you all have come makes me really happy
Best thing to wake up to 🥰
my eyes and ears have been blessed
I love how most of their videos are works of art... Reminds me of what alternative music videos used to be..
Hippo Campus are more talented than many artists currently. They deserve more attention. Thanks for making my days more colorful 💛
