- new album out now: ffm.to/widow
Last year, while shacked up in the Patagonian Rainforest working on my new album, I was robbed by a chilean street gang. They stole my computer, my recording equipment, my backup hard drives. Everything. All the music and writing from the last 3 years of my life was gone. To say I was devastated would be a tragic understatement... I felt like a hollow shell of a person.
Back in the rainforest, in my wooden cabin, on a Windows XP desktop computer borrowed from a local chilean musician, with a trial copy of Ableton and $100 bluetooth speakers, I created this piece. It was the first thing I made upon returning, late at night in the height of my feverish state. I don't know where it came from. I didn't recognize it. It was all blurs and sparks and chaos and strange teeth.
I look at it as a monument to one of my most important principals: the idea of embracing a sort of unwavering recklessness when it comes to art. A crazed tenacity. Wildly pursuing ideals in the face of seemingly contrary logic.

Crywolf is a genre...
Tekk Zilla fuck that's so true!
Stoned Buddha No better way to say it!
The genre on all Crywolf songs in my music library is listed as "Crywolf" :'D
So true! The only other artist that I can say this about is Eden. Crywolf and Eden are amazing! So happy they collaborated to make Stomach It.
Accurate.
This is old crywolf and today’s crywolf mixed
Justin created this on a trial version of ableton. on windows xp using $100 bluetooth speakers.
the producer in me is crying ;_;
sadmozo same 😂😂
This is freaking impossible
There’s no excuse not to do whatever tf you want then if you have a passion. Let this inspire us
I guess Im pretty off topic but do anyone know a good site to stream newly released tv shows online?
@Devon Merrick Flixportal :D
They can steal your equipment, they can steal your work; but there is only one Crywolf, one Justin in this world!!! No one can steal your soul, your amazing SELF. You are one talented human being. I recently discovered you and you took my breath away. You have conquered many monsters before, YOU will conquer over and over again! Thank you for this masterpiece.
Anariel Lu beautifully said
Anariel Lu dude that's sad :( feel sorry for him
Those who take from your gifted soul, will face profound consequences for placing unnecessary harm upon the beauty of the work you share. Cosmic Universal energy is powerful and what has been taken, will now bring an abundance of prosperity to you!

most underrated artist
I wouldn't say underrated, all his songs have like a 95% like vs dislike ratio, almost everyone who stumbles upon Crywolf is instantly starstruck.
I do agree that he deserves more recognition though, 180k views for this masterpiece is a bit sad.
God this track is so incredible, it's so unique to you, you can instantly tell it's your music and style and just stands out in a way that most music just doesn't anymore. It's all blurred together in one big mess and then there's this. I've had this on repeat since it was released last night and I still can't get over it
Are you sure you mean inedible?
@@rahulsangal5438 no I meant incredible, thanks for pointing that out! Lol just fixed it
Lyrics:
Verse 1]
Caught in the river, turning blue
Hold your breath as it covers you
Oooh, oooh
[Verse 2]
Caught in the river, turning blue
Hold your breath as it covers you
Open that mouth and show me something
Oooh, oooh
Oooh, oooh
[Verse 3]
Caught in the river, turning blue
Hold your breath as it covers you
Open that mouth and show me something
Hold your breath as it covers you
[Verse 4]
Nothing without you here
I'm nothing, I disappear
Till nothing but my heart remains
Oooh, for you
We'll lie awake, I'll ask myself
Who do you think you are
[Bridge / Breakdown]
When you inhale, I fill your lungs
Ya ya ya ya yah!
Ya ya ya ya yah!
Ya ya ya ya yah!
[Hook]
Nothing but my heart remains
Nothing but my heart remains
Nothing but my heart remains
Nothing but my heart remains
Nothing but my heart remains
Nothing but my heart remains
Ya ya ya ya yah!
Thank you! CHIVES!
Elsewhere I hope you have a blessing life
I thought it was “who are you” and not “oooh for you”
Thanks!

A brilliant piece. It begins as a haunting groan, and slowly shifts as it plays to form yet another of your beautiful songs. An outstanding way to come back.
We missed you.
I see that Crywolf is going the more "indie" route rather than Electronic, awesome; I love it!
It sounds like a mix between (kill the Noise) and (Beats Antique) with Justin's vocals
I'm really sorry for what happend hun!♡♡
Amazing piece...
Lucinda 250 what happens?
Happened*
check the description
Awe I just rushed into the video too quickly. Thanks :)
you mean "into the comment section*"
That description... I cant even begin to imagine the passion, the fury, the sadness... the emotion that went into this piece. And somehow I can feel it, a little of what you went through. I can feel your art speaking to me through the melody. I'm happy that despite what happened, you didn't give up on music and your dreams. You're an inspiration to your loving fans and we respect and love you. Thank you for not giving up on us either.
I am so sorry that they robbed you... And I really love this song!
you know the music is good when you immediately start it over again after listening for the first time
There's a theory were everyone has a shadow in their souls. This dark figure represents all of your bad thoughts and intuitions, everything that can make you a bad person. But without this shadow, you're nothing, you need it to know who you are. This music makes me feels like an encounter with my shadow and accepting its existence instead of denying it, entering my lungs like black fog.
Joab Almeida Lurking into some Carl Jung's work, right?
The inspiration for this song was exactly this concept of shadow
Ah, always love seeing a fellow sith lord in the wild
Holy shit man. If that happened to me i wouldn't be able to leave the throes of despair and yet you managed to still create art. Major respect. 😔🎼
The entire song, my hairs are standing on end
Archey no2 it just crept on me
i remember last year, when that happened to you and you posted about it.. it broke my heart honestly. i remember you posting a short video of the piece you created and thinking wow justin can really do it all. i’m so glad you released this. it’s amazing, beautiful, and haunting. but then again when are your songs not beautiful and haunting.. ❤️
Visuals seem very TOOL inspired! Kudos to your team! Just as captivating as the sound and structure of the musical odyssey itself. Definitely can catch and sense the state of mind you spoke of being in after the Chile incident. Seemingly very incensed and intense emotionally... I truly admire and am inspired by your vulnerability my friend! Thanks for sharing with us your gift. I've come to speak to a lot of other fans of your art and who you are that YOUR music YOUR vision and how YOUR vulnerability opens them up to relating and ultimately helps to bring them through their darkest times so far in life(hopefully the darkest they'll ever have to have). You've definitely helped me through some long days and late nights... It's a gift to have artists like you that I can count on to not feed the ego and continue to be a passenger on your journey of personal growth that you bare it all to see while also at the same time reflecting throug your music from where you were to where you were at that moment... Powerful thing and a blessing to be able to relate to people like you do Justin. Thank you for being so selfless and setting an example of how artists should be to stay real with themselves and less pretentious. I ramble... As for those that still struggle, talk to someone. Don't hold it in get it out. Anybody. Step out your comfort zone and take that chance. Find an outlet tho Crywolf is an enigma of music it's good therapy. I freestyle, rap, write songs of eclectic taste in genre. It's definitely therapy. Find something. Figure out how to fill that void instead of just stuffing whatever in it to keep you good for the night. You wanna be good for your whole life. Find YOUR purpose as EACH of US have one, so you needn't give up. You're a piece of this humankind jigsaw puzzle. We need you. I need you. Crywolf needs you.
PPLH ✌🙏❤😊
Tekk Zilla thanks for the inspirational words
jandre steenkamp anytime friend! If anytime you need to talk just shoot me a message...
PPLH✌🙏❤😊
You know Justin, as I listen to your music all these years, I can say that every piece you create is true from the heart. We who listen get real emotions through your creations and become a part of it. In this one I feel agony, what you've been through, the feeling of being exposed, losing everything, anger..those vocals screaming. It's just a masterpiece. I'm really sorry for what happened to you, but you keep going stronger. You are one of my favourite artists who make me breathe out every emotion by singing along your songs.
Literally, there hasn't been a song of his that has disappointed me
Living in Brazil, I know how it feels like being robbed. In your experience you lost with the computer all your work and this i can't even imagine how devastating it feels. Hoping for the best, and turning bad feelings into art is the most relieving thing for the internal pain. Nice job man
Crywolf has been one of the most critical inspirations for me, I can't thank Justin enough for his work.
I stumbled across this music by accident in 2020. It's been holding me together through the worst of it, continues to do so.
But the level of intensity and emotion in these, especially QUIXOTE, was the spark I needed to finally take all the raw pent up rage and fear and sadness from quarantine and let it out in music -- through my first song I've ever written in my life. I'm 26 and have been wishing I could do music for years - this first one came out in a flood, written in a single day. The feeling was indescribable.
The loss behind QUIXOTE's creation is staggering, and I'm so sorry it happened to you. But if nothing else, please know that this piece has had such a profound effect on me. I have no idea if or when I'll share the first song I wrote, but Crywolf helped unlock the gate - and helping me pour out that first piece is something sacred and precious I will never forget.
I don't know if Justin reads these but I just wanted him to know.
Thanks, man.
Amazing! Im so sorry what happend to you. But you kept your head together and came back! And hell yeah what a comeback this is! So proud of you justin💪❤❤👌👏
Enrico Truisi what happened?
Joao read the description. Its also the reason why he has been inactive for a while
18 seconds in and I'm shaking with goosebumps!
I can totally see the beginning at the opening of a Game Of Thrones episode. Brilliant as always!
This is a crazy story.. the song resembles the aftermath completely.
the song is still Crywolf, but this Crywolf sounds broken.
I remember that! The important thing is that you didn't give up. Artists are simultaneously gifted and burdened with feeling emotions too deeply, and to persevere through the darkness and come out on top even stronger is what the journey is all about
This is what I imagine would happen if The Dillinger Escape Plan and Aphex Twin collaborated. The artwork in the video reminds me of Dillinger quite a bit as well. Awesome stuff.
I fell in love with your music a long time ago, and it's been such a pleasure to see you evolve as an artist. Every piece speaks to my heart. Can't wait for the whole thing to be out so I buy it. Hoping you'll consider touring Europe, I'd love to see you live. Terribly sorry for what happened, happy you could bounce back and give us such beautiful music once again.
It doesn't matter what's taken from you, it doesn't matter what happens in the future, whether you make more music, whether you take a break for awhile, whether life takes you somewhere else completely. You're still Crywolf. You still inspire people creatively. You still inspire me. And no matter what manner of hardships life throws your way, that's never going to change. You have people behind you willing to help you get back up again whenever you fall. Thank you for the music you produce and all that you do. You're my favorite artist hands down and I've been listening since I was in high school. I can never really give back to you the way your music has given to me, but, at the very least, thank you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you for inspiring me to get up again, even when things are hard for you sometimes.
(also this song honestly rivals my love for my favorite song of yours (and favorite song period), Halloween 1987)
Returning to this, after watching Oblivion: III is insane. I still remember when this released, reading the story. What an artist!
Knowing the background of song is what sold me on this. I listened to it without reading the description first and I came back to it and i love this song now.
*This is art*
It's finally here after all these years of waiting. It's finally here
I'm sorry you were robbed of your efforts and digital memories. But I am still glad that YOU are still here with us ❤❤❤
Pain helps us to create out most beautiful work at times. You didn’t let it consume you. You let it fuel you.
It's like an acid trip and a fever dream got together and had a wonderfully, dark and beautiful baby.
this guy did a song on an windows xp, an ablenton trial and 100 dollars speakers... i can barely do a song with more than 10 layers that doesn't crash every other second, i admire you
The first time I listened I thought it was an interesting song, but didn't really understand it that much. Now after listening a few times, I can tell it's a masterpiece. I can feel every ounce of devastation and rage pouring through the song. Thank you for your art Crywolf, it's beautiful and uniquely you.
In spite of assault you suffered, this still sounding awesome. Ugh, i'm a bit anger of what happened with you.
Holy shit I’m so sorry that happened... I can imagine of devastating and frustrating that must have been to lose THREE whole years of work TT TT
This song is beautiful nonetheless. Sending love and hope you’re doing well ❤️
i am not sure if i love the new direction he's taking, because i feel the rage and the anger in the production & the lyrics. and, eventhough we all feel like that sometimes, i really wish he could create something more uplifting (of course, he can do whatever he needs to do, but it's just that, personally, i don't feel the same connection that with other of his songs) . i am not sure if i am expressing myself right, i hope so.
justin, i love you and your art, and i wish you always the best! hope to see you live someday in europe!
To say you’re a genius wouldn’t be enough, your art is so beautiful I can’t never get enough of your music
It's magical how good music can be especialy your music. Btw that video was really good.
The thing you said about being remembered is a truth! You are n will be remembered as part of some ones life's emotions. I love your writing, singing, composing n specially screams n vocals.
the build up in this is really great
when 3:05 comes around i just imagine driving around at night, out in some haunting area
maybe that’s just because i first heard a sample of this on justin’s sc story doing so,; who knows🤷🏻♀️
either way, glad for you to be back
i look forward to what else you have to come
i liked crywolf from other songs but this is so personal and unique. can't help but love the artist after this. insanely good, in both senses
i hope the artist reads this at some point and feels good about themself. whoever you are, i understand you thanks to you music, and i am equally thankful for this. keep going.
i remember you posting about it on your ig story. i remember kindness and sadness and beauty even in loss of creation. i love you and thank you for your music. you've given this fifteen year old so much, i can only hope my listening to your songs is enough support :'')
“It's only after we've lost everything that we're free to do anything.” - Chuck Palahniuk
This quote haunts me through every project I take on, and it's so unbelievably true
Nunca fallas...siempre le encuentro algo de arte a tus canciones...CryWolfl es una f***ing medicina
There is no such thing as a Crywolf piece that I don't like. There are only pieces that I love and listen to on repeat for 5 hours straight.
This is one of those.
CRYWOLF you just do awesome work, you inspire me in the way of the poetry, thank you! ♥
You are Unique! You are a piece of art by your own! You don't need nothing, you don't need no one to shine! Youre a bright Star in the Dark space! Take care bro! Congrats! Nice song!
I swear this is like my 50th time repeating this song! I love you Crywolf! Ever since your first EP and now I'm glad I have stayed listening to your music all of these years. I'm sorry for what happened to you, it sucks but I hope you can recover 10 times more!
Your story breaks my heart Justin but you created something so beautiful out of that loss. Hoping somehow that music comes back to you somehow. I love your music and your creativity is simply stunning.
I can’t even begin to imagine how that would feel to lose so much. I’m disappointed we won’t ever get to hear the music you were producing because I’m absolutely in love with EVERY. Song you’ve produced or co-produced. I have been wondering when we were gonna hear new music! I literally check every month on Spotify to see if there’s new music. I’m so sorry that happened.
I've heard this song 3 times and it gets better each time. This is Awesome!! This is one of the few songs that i actually feel like dancing to,. feels like it isnt possible to not bob my head or bouce my leg or drum on my leg when i listen to this.
At least they didn't HURT YOU!!! Your soul progresses ALONE in unique perspective... but JOINED by so many who share similar pain!!
This is weird but amazing
Out of the ashes, the boy rises; crying wolf all the way.
So sorry that happened man... must have really hurt... but I am definitely grateful that we got this absolute gem out of it. Sometimes tragedy brings out the best in a mind.
The robbery he endured released something primal in him. I love the RAW, human, flowing direction his songs have gone lately.
Without scrolling down a bet one comment has dropped the unfounded 'x artist is underrated' clique.
Getting an alt-J vibe here. Incredible as usual ❤
{LYRICS:}
Caught in the river, turning blue
Hold your breath as it covers you
Oooh, oooh
Caught in the river, turning blue
Hold your breath as it covers you
Open that mouth and show me something
Oooh, oooh
Oooh, oooh
Caught in the river, turning blue
Hold your breath as it covers you
Open that mouth and show me something
Hold your breath as it covers you
Nothing without you here
I'm nothing, I disappear
Till nothing but my heart remains
Oooh, for you
We'll lie awake, I'll ask myself
Who do you think you are
When you inhale, I fill your lungs
Ya ya ya ya yah!
Ya ya ya ya yah!
Ya ya ya ya yah!
Nothing but my heart remains
Nothing but my heart remains
Nothing but my heart remains
Nothing but my heart remains
Nothing but my heart remains
Nothing but my heart remains
Ya ya ya ya yah!
I'm just playing this in loop while drawing.
Unlike so many artists who start out strong and then die. Justin you are getting better and better as you continue to make your music more eccentric and strange you set yourself apart from other artists.
Just Awesome !!!
I can't even begin to imagine how heartwrenching it was losing all your stuff. I do hope you feel a little better, though. As for the song, it's certainly different than the usual style you go for, but considering the circumstances, that is understandable. And unlike a lot of artists who try something new and fail miserably, I actually like this different style of yours. Still has a lot classic Crywolf elements to it, and most of all, it's still heartfelt and full of emotion. Keep at it, Justin!
this is incredible. there are so many pieces of sounds and melodies within it that are recognizable from your previous work but this is something new entirely. i love it.
We are always where our hearts are,its all there is..........Thank You
This is proof that even when you dont have the best of everything you still can make something beautiful.
I can't stop replaying this, I'm absolutely smitten by the emotions from it
Damn, what a crazy story. Good on you for sticking with it after that.
I'm addicted to this❤
I’m not sure why but this song makes me feel like crying. Though I suppose being robbed like that must have been so painful... losing all your work. I think this song really captures the pain you must have felt during that time.
By far and away the most powerful piece I've heard from you. This touched me to my core. Amazing.
I'm so sorry that happened. I hope you are okay, and I'm glad it didn't stop you for making music. Your music is everything and so beautiful.
I’m sitting here listening to this and I look up to see the kid I’m babysitting rocking out with an onion bracelet around his wrist...he also dances like Crywolf.
I hear this playing in my mind if I ever escape into a endless void.
Been a Crywolf fan since like 2 years ago... What can I say? This is a very strong song. It is like something made out of total despair and sadness, that's why I love it so much. This is like a mixture of Justin's 2 sides, the soft and the dark one
Que sonido más rechimbaaaa!
Sorry to hear that bout your loss hope things might turn for the better, just like to add that its an amazing peace of music you produced ,thank you and keep it on your talented beyond your own comprehention.
For the love of god, please keeping making new music...it's been 2? Maybe 3 years? YOU ARE AMAZING!!
This is an emotional rollercoaster , i love it
You never cease to give me shivers. Your music is so powerful, and the stories behind each track are all so meaningful. It's incredible that you managed to make such an incredible song with such little equipment. You're incredible ♡
BackBlaze, never lose your stuff again!
A true masterpiece, definitely creating electronic art music almost, but not detached music made for reviews, but music, true music. Deep from the depths of creativity and the heart and soul of Justin's thoughts and fears. Absolutely incredible. I've never felt like I understood myself enough to be able to create something like this, and I may never be able to. But this is just true beauty.
I can't stop listening to this! It is just so many things, haunting and feral, soft and dark and explosive! It is absolutely chaotic, and yet it isn't, because somehow it constantly keeps its flow so that you can cling to it, as the sounds attack you from the most unexpected angles and as they combine, suddenly make sense! I love it!
It’s such a mess and I fucking love it. Remember your fans are here to support you. We love you no matter what happens
I feel so sorry for the incident that happened.. the first time I heard this song is so powerful I'm in a deep down darkness of my life that's how I feel, been crying for nights wondering why this loneliness is killing me so badly and I'm drowning slowly... you guys are so creative .. ❤️☮️🦋
Love how the poetry and edm compliment eachother in this song. It chills me!
nothing but love for your music.
i cant say anything but, you truly create art out of everything you get a grasp of.
I hope i get to reach your Talent of recreating Imagination into a Thing able to grasp..
truly unique piece and well you can always create new sounds when you start again. That must have been devastating tho. 3 yrs of your work just gone
I feel every bit of emotion seeping from you thru this song I’m so glad you’re back and so sorry about what happened; still seems like just yesterday I was hugging you and letting draw on my face at one of your concerts, one of my favorite musicians stay strong
So worth the wait. You never fail to amaze me. Keep it up dude you have made an amazing recovery given what happened last year.
Dear god...
Just when I thought he couldn't get better
He's gone and BLOWN MY MIND!!
Damn,i dont know what to say.Life's a hella ride,but you didn't give up. And im thankful for you still doing the stuff you like to do :)
You're a strong soul , ain't nobody can steal that..
