This song really speaks to me. I was stuck in my own echo chamber for a while. Mostly due to years of depression, I was so scared of coming out of it. I was never truly myself around others, not even with myself. Going to therapy definitely helped me open my eyes. But, the final crack in the ice that broke it was falling in love with someone who would notice that about me. Being in a relationship with him made me realize, "Oh... my actions aren't just affecting ME. There are others who I impact." It was a revelation within myself that I wasn't alone. I felt alone for a very very long time that I acted so selfishly and was blind to it. I wanted to be blind to it. Not anymore. I am now self-aware, and it still can be a struggle for me. There's an internal conflict of what I used to know vs what I want to become. Beautiful work Jonathan! So many of us have waited for another original, your voice really resonates your words. Can't wait for more~
Kaeli Keables an echo chamber is more like a “safe place” where all opinions are the same and no one opposes it. It’s easy to explain if you think about the liberal and Democratic Party in The United States, they both won’t compromise and shut out all opinions that don’t “fit” with their own opinions. Sadly that’s the state of most American culture recently. Hopefully it can be overcome.
Wow, that really is something else...wonderful story, and thank you for sharing! I feel like I too have done the same at times; you get depressed when you think you're alone, not realizing that not only are you hurting yourself, you've become blind to others. Absolutely true. I think that it really does help to care for others. It's hard sometimes, but, well, personal opinion: I think we deprive ourselves of meaningful disagreement sometimes. We don't need an 'echo chamber' to make us feel okay with yourselves, we need people who'll see us as people, no matter where we come from or what opinions we hold, and we should do the same. Anyhow, that might have been a little circular, but what I meant to say was that this was a great song and also, thanks for the comment. I wish you all the best!
@@bigbo672 Tbh if you think it's only limited to liberals then you may be in an echo chamber yourself -- there are echo chambers for every sort of political affiliation, in all parties and all non-party adherent political groups (socialists, libertarians, centrists, etc.). And there are also people of all sorts of political viewpoints who are not in echo chambers. I hope this part doesn't sound condescending cause it's hard to get tone across with writing, but it can be easy to assume everyone who disagrees must be part of an echo chamber. But it's important to remember that echo chambers can appear in any sort of opinion, otherwise you won't watch out for ones you agree with and get sucked into them, which will distort your perception of the world. :)
@@jonathanymusic sir, you've no need to thank me. You've provided HOURS of entertainment and passion and given me great music to sing along to loudly (and horribly). But please, show off that new long hair sometime! Your fans need to see those long locks of hair
Huh. I thought you weren't gonna make one of these again. Then I saw this and was like "So, after two years he finally decides to follow up on that 'more songs coming' promise..." ...Only to realize it's only been ten months. My perception of time is rivaled only by the song's presumed targets' perception of themselves.
Even if you feel it's an unfinished product...I want you to know that I really enjoy your original music. I feel like the raw emotion that I can feel through your lyrics is something that modern music often lacks nowadays. I look forward to the next original Jonathan Young song :)
Sounds so finished and beautiful. Sometimes you just gotta cut your losses because it can always get better, and getting trapped in that loop is not fun.
I come back here so often, it just speaks to me. its like me speaking to myself. As a person with BPD and SAD that dont really go outside in the last 6 years, i can feel this song more then i want to sometimes.
Always love when your original music pops up; between this and Bait, I eagerly want to see more of this in the future. The lyrics feel a lot rawer and even retrospective; there's an honesty and awareness to both this and Bait so far that is striking. Eagerly can't wait for more in the future!
@@alleycat3449 The Far From Blue album has 11 original songs. He took it down from bandcamp around the time he released Bait though. Think most are still on youtube though if you look at his earliest songs.
@@jonathanymusic I bought the album off Bandcamp before you took them down. I enjoy a few of them, especially If This Ship Sinks. But yeah, your style has changed a fair bit since then.
I’m just going to say it. This song got me hard. I’m crying as I write this. This is a really powerful song with intelligent lyrics but the emotion in your voice really sold it to me. I have a lot of baggage and sometimes music is the only thing that gets me through another day. That’s why I want to thank you. Sincerely thank you Jonathan Young. You don’t know who I am and I might never see you in person but I want you to know your music has literally saved me before and personally this is my favorite work from you yet. Thank you for this and everything else you post.
I always get excited when I see a new Jonathan Young upload, but there's a very specific kind of excited that comes with the words "original song" in the title
Powerful lyrics, and a change from your usual style. That must be hard to put out there. I think it's great! Especially when you take it as it is, without expectations about your usual style. Keep up the good work!
A great commentary on modern politics/culture. It doesn’t necessarily take a stance, but rather just explains an issue. Good composition Jonathan, splendid job!
Sorry chester but I have to disagree that its not taking a stance. The language chosen is damning to the use of echo chambers or “hug boxes” as we used to call them. If you’re part of the community and say what everyone else agrees with? Great! If you bring any form of contention or thought that maybe just maybe the community is operating out of fear or not quite enough information? They turn ugly really fast. Can even have repercussions outside as well if the people know some stuff about you in real life. The bigger problem is that this is a tactic used by groups the world over to keep people from thinking rather than doing. Be it a political group on fb, or an influencer on twitter or instagram trying to catch the attention of a sponsor, or people selling bad science cause they’re paid to and people fear the results. It sounds pretty clearly that while he’s being understanding of the feeling and need to fit in, this is a really unhealthy way to go about it. “Everything you know is by design” is also pretty blatantly against the idea of them. Controlling access to knowledge and keeping members from bringing in new knowledge or questioning the group think through fear, negative dismissal (belittling the new info, attacking them personally, etc,)or out right driving out the one who dared to question the groups world view makes sure other members know what happens to those who question. Which is super strong evidence usually that someone has something to hide and or gain from keeping people from disagreeing. And I promise you this from experience, its usually only going to benefit them and hurt the community around them. Tl,dr: i have to disagree that the song doesnt take a stance, and that stance is wholly negative, on this extremely common online practice of echo chambers. Edit: Also i recognize that im outing myself as old with the phrase “as we used to call em.”
Jonathan as an original artist is so underrated, his creativity and writing has been so unique since his "if this ship sinks" days i wish those were still up
I find it quite synchronous that just over this past weekend I was thinking on how very brave you are in regard to social media. And then come Monday you release an original with comments that captured my attention and acutely so. Indeed the venue of social media can be vicious across all platforms but, it can also be healing. I myself have just resurfaced to social media after a 6 ½ year hiatus. I truly believe I will never go back to Facebook..... Know sir, that your courage, on-line presence and craft are one of three external factors in my decision to resurface. Thank you…..for what? I hear you ask.....for being who you are as you are. For your brutal self-honesty. For your integrity. For riding your shining dreams through the darkness and from within that darkness creating light-filled expressions of self. Yes, yes, yes, a thousand times yes, Jonathan….for your courageous expression of self….thank you. So, I too have decided to be brave in my own way and come back. In my time away I have learned that those that judge with a hate-filled heart are not my mirror. They are only there to remind me of who I am not and what no longer serves my life-path. If I may Jonathan please, offer you words of encouragement..... ~ May your mind know the laser-sharp discernment of what serves your ingenious creative flow and what does not. May your thoughts - if troubled - be gently eased from all attachments that hinder your wild and eclectic imagination. {a loud and sweeping trademark Jonathan Young *SNAP* inserted here} Thank you for posting Echo Chamber. I love it.
@@giovannaargon9010 Honestly, I really hope he does more originals with his latest also being a real banger. I want to meet him just to give him encouragement to make more originals because I can tell he really needs to hear more of that.

"I should be sleeping... hey, Jonathan made an original" "It's late..." "True" "To call it an addiction's impolite" "... it's not that late... yeah ok"
I've been waiting to hear another original ever sense Bait :). glad to see you writing more original music, you seem more genuine when you do. can't wait for the next!
Jon, I know you feel like this song is unfinished, and you may never feel like it is. Now, I can't assume to know anything about your thoughts, but it's possible that a song like this may never truly feel "finished". The world is always changing, and so are the people in it. This song sinks into me in a way I can't really understand, but I enjoy it immensely, and if inspiration hits you, more original songs would be awesome, but either way, you have an amazing voice, and I speak for all of your subscribers when I say, do what you can, we'll be here and enjoy every song you put out.
Heck of a song... Tackling one of the most prolific issues in the internet age while still being lit as fuck AND doesn't come off all preachy. Well done!
Jonathan, the sign of a true artist is the ability to do multiple and varied actions and make them look easy. Great job!! Making everything you do sound the same just becomes formulaic and boring. Never stop growing! You are truly a gifted musivian.
I've watched you for a while, and I understand that you are making a separate channel for your original content. I have to say that this is honestly one of my favorite songs of yours. I know that a sizable amount of people click on covers of songs they recognize, and they may pass over stuff like this. However, I can tell you have a great deal of passion for music and you placed a lot of effort behind this, and I appreciate it.
I'm going on a binge of all of Jon's original content, and I'm loving every single song I hear. I don't know why I've hesitated for so long... I guess I'm just sentimental sometimes, but truly, Jonathan is class-A musician in his own right. Don't let anybody else tell you otherwise, my friend!
Ok, it may have taken this long but Jonathan’s music feels so urgent and needed right now. We need more roaring rock anthems about the perils of social media.
I've got to say, I like Jonathan's originals even better than his covers. His covers are awesome too, but his originals tend to be on yet another level. Especially with the obvious thought he puts into the lyrics.
Jon, remember that you will always be your own worse critic. Even unfinished this song is absolutely beautiful. You have a community that will always love and support you. Never feel ashamed or a need to justify your work. We will be here to love and appreciate all your hard work
Its sounds so good and the lyrics are just so honest, and its unfinished. If this is how the unfinished product is like, then I cant imagine how good the finished product will be like.
I’ve been waiting and waiting for new original stuff! I know you said to consider this a “demo” but I truly do enjoy it as is, it’s great! I can’t wait for more originals in the future ❤️
Ésta canción es perfecta para mi. Usted hace música que me relaja, su voz me hace sentir tranquila y pues no se lo escucho con mucho amor con lo que hace. Por favor no pare de hacer lo que le encanta hacer. Lo quiero mucho❤
While not one of my Favorites of yours, this song was still really good and meaningful. It makes some people think about stuff. P.S: the main reason this aint an instant favorite is because at heart, I'm a metal head, and aside from Jesus, I live for all things rock and metal.
Our prayers have been answered!!! Hallejuah!!! It may feel incomplete but it's amazing and shows raw emotion that I would expect from Jonathan Young. P.S. I swear the moment I saw that it was an original it took me .2 seconds to click it.
Oh my god I love this! I need more of this! Jonathan please keep making original songs and do what you really want! Don't try to please anyone. Make yourself happy! And this song describes why I'm so good at escapism...
i love how uncomfortable Jon's stuff can make me feel. this and BAIT made me feel so guilty and ashamed while listening to it, which is exactly the point. it's some of the most profound music I've ever heard. and I can't wait for more.
Honestly love how Jon's original songs really reflect upon us, like this one. Nowadays, most young people are subjected to an echo chamber of their own design, free from conflicts due to being surrounded by people with similar views. Really good job with your songs man, keep up the great work!
I decided to listen to the song before I leave my "omg I'm early comment". I was, but I don't care. This Song is such a masterpiece, holy cow! I really feel touched not only by the Musical part of this and your Voice - we all know your voice is absolutely amazing - but also the way you are choosing the words you sing. I interpretated that chorus a lot into the way of self-criticsm, in my own case, even self-hate.. yes, as long as I keep myself in the chamber, I can't help myself but feel bad all the time.. I keep myself blind. And I hide from stuff. This Song really touched my feelings immediately after listening to it. You wrote it wasnt finished, but tbf, I don't think many of your fans will notice. I also only did by reading the description.. Long story short: Even though I probably interpretate the song a bit different, it is still absolutely amazing, and the stuff you wrote in the description is highly understand- and relatable.. Thank you for quite a deep insight into your mental state through this Song! I can't wait for more Originals. You really do a great Job! Keep being awesome, dear Jon. Greetings from the middle of germany. (:
I have to admit it does feel like the song is missing something. I have no clue what, but at the same time I still like it a lot. It is most likely going to end up on my background music list for when Im reading/writing. Hope to hear more of your own stuff in the future.
Something in the backtrack constantly stays nearly at the same hights the whole song.... so it sound kinda monotone but i think that is wanted.... it sounds like played far away. Like in a dream or in a Echo Chamber.
Jonathan, I have to say, this song is amazing. The entire melody is so simple, and yet you manage to do so much between it and the lyrics. Thank you for another gem of a song, and please, keep at it.
Original Jonathan young song? What is this? The best time line?
Nope. It's BAIT.
Wonder what's happening in the darkest timeline
Jon is a successful entrepreneur
With no interest in music
@@inkweaver3941 article 13 doesn't get repealed

*LYRICS*
It's late and you're still staring at the light
To call it an addiction's impolite
Create a mental fortress for your fright
No dissonance disturbs you, locked up tight
And ever you dismiss any crack in your keep,
Autophobia when you're falling asleep
Cherry-picking facts, rather sit than act,
But your talk is cheap
And now you're diving low just reviving morale
Oh, it looks like hell in there, never self-aware, shallow
Thoughts you claim to hate, but you still create
I see through that though
Echo chamber
Keep us blind
When we stay there
The world seems less unkind
Misbehavior
Left behind
In the echo chamber
Everything you know is by design
You lied, but it was mostly to the mirror
That window now is blurry with your fear
You tried to make it cleaner, make it clear
But you're worried what they'll say if you're sincere
And every time you post thinking you're the most deep
But what you're going through's never really unique
I've seen it all before, think you're hardcore
Swimming in conceit
In this 'make a contest out of sadness' trend
Take the moral high ground, sing a sad sound, then
Have a misery phase, sympathy pays
When you play your friends
This is like one of my favorite songs of all time no joke
"I should be sleeping... hey, Jonathan made an original"
"It's late..."
"True"
"To call it an addiction's impolite"
"... it's not that late... yeah ok"

Heck of a song... Tackling one of the most prolific issues in the internet age while still being lit as fuck AND doesn't come off all preachy.
Well done!
Jonathan, the sign of a true artist is the ability to do multiple and varied actions and make them look easy. Great job!! Making everything you do sound the same just becomes formulaic and boring. Never stop growing! You are truly a gifted musivian.
I've watched you for a while, and I understand that you are making a separate channel for your original content. I have to say that this is honestly one of my favorite songs of yours. I know that a sizable amount of people click on covers of songs they recognize, and they may pass over stuff like this. However, I can tell you have a great deal of passion for music and you placed a lot of effort behind this, and I appreciate it.
One of my favorite song from this decade
I'm going on a binge of all of Jon's original content, and I'm loving every single song I hear. I don't know why I've hesitated for so long... I guess I'm just sentimental sometimes, but truly, Jonathan is class-A musician in his own right. Don't let anybody else tell you otherwise, my friend!
Agreed
Love this song so much.
Ok, it may have taken this long but Jonathan’s music feels so urgent and needed right now. We need more roaring rock anthems about the perils of social media.
may or may not have the original songs playlist on loop
they're just all so good :)
0:00-0:15 Wow, call me out why don't you. It's only midnight, jeez...
Mood, but it's like 1:30am for me :)
Mood. But its 4:35 am for me.
@@aviaviavian Mood, but I haven't closed my eyes in 3 days
love your originals. still listening to restless heart
I've got to say, I like Jonathan's originals even better than his covers. His covers are awesome too, but his originals tend to be on yet another level. Especially with the obvious thought he puts into the lyrics.
Jon, remember that you will always be your own worse critic. Even unfinished this song is absolutely beautiful. You have a community that will always love and support you. Never feel ashamed or a need to justify your work. We will be here to love and appreciate all your hard work
Its sounds so good and the lyrics are just so honest, and its unfinished. If this is how the unfinished product is like, then I cant imagine how good the finished product will be like.
Literally my favorite song ever.
GIVE ME DEM LYRICS. Seriously, I almost screamed in my dead monotone voice when I saw ORIGINAL SONG.
"Screamed in my dead monotone voice."
I can hear it, lol.

@@crowblin Yup. That's Basically it. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh
We really need more like this and Restless Heart!!
man, what an excellent find. I'll be downloading this song hand downs.
You the best Jonathan.
This song is giving me chills its beautiful!!!
I’ve been waiting and waiting for new original stuff! I know you said to consider this a “demo” but I truly do enjoy it as is, it’s great! I can’t wait for more originals in the future ❤️
Can't believe it's already been a year and half... And this is still the song of my soul
Ésta canción es perfecta para mi. Usted hace música que me relaja, su voz me hace sentir tranquila y pues no se lo escucho con mucho amor con lo que hace. Por favor no pare de hacer lo que le encanta hacer. Lo quiero mucho❤
My good man ........ WHEN EVER IS NOT FREQUENTLY ENOUGH! Your original songs are some of my all-time favorite songs. Keep at it please
Your original songs are always so relevant and thought provoking. Awesome sound, I’m looking forward to more original stuff in the future.
I've become slightly obsessed with this exact concept, and am so excited to have an original Jonathan Young song about it!
This reminds me of an 80's soft rock type of song. I really like it!
still listening to this song until now, beautiful satisfying sound from this song made me always comeback to listen again... Great work Jon, love it.
I really like this.
Echo Chambers...keep us blind...so true
One of my favorite things about music is the artist can write it with one meaning and it can mean something totally different to a listener.
it's amazing! and please don't let criticism ever take you down.. you rock!
Should be top of the charts one of my favorite songs of all time
While not one of my Favorites of yours, this song was still really good and meaningful. It makes some people think about stuff.
P.S: the main reason this aint an instant favorite is because at heart, I'm a metal head, and aside from Jesus, I live for all things rock and metal.
been listening on repeat because i cant get enough
I always wished you'd do some original stuff so glad to see you doing it
There are a few more original songs of his, did you listen to them too ? They're great !
@@martelraykin oh didn't know I'm not really a long time subscriber I'll be sure to check them out thanks for letting me know
One of the best song I have ever heard
First Game of Thrones episode 3, now this - what a gooood day!
Our prayers have been answered!!! Hallejuah!!!
It may feel incomplete but it's amazing and shows raw emotion that I would expect from Jonathan Young.
P.S. I swear the moment I saw that it was an original it took me .2 seconds to click it.
YESSSS I was waiting for this !! Been listening to this for 4 days straight now !! Your best original to me to this day absolutely awesome !
Oh my god I love this! I need more of this! Jonathan please keep making original songs and do what you really want! Don't try to please anyone. Make yourself happy!
And this song describes why I'm so good at escapism...
i love how uncomfortable Jon's stuff can make me feel. this and BAIT made me feel so guilty and ashamed while listening to it, which is exactly the point. it's some of the most profound music I've ever heard. and I can't wait for more.
So far this is one of the best songs I have ever heard
Hell yeah some more original Jonathan young. It's great man! Keep it up
Please please please please make more original songs!!!! It's so AWESOME 😊😊
Honestly love how Jon's original songs really reflect upon us, like this one. Nowadays, most young people are subjected to an echo chamber of their own design, free from conflicts due to being surrounded by people with similar views. Really good job with your songs man, keep up the great work!
MORE OF THESE PLEASE!!!
I decided to listen to the song before I leave my "omg I'm early comment". I was, but I don't care.
This Song is such a masterpiece, holy cow! I really feel touched not only by the Musical part of this and your Voice - we all know your voice is absolutely amazing - but also the way you are choosing the words you sing. I interpretated that chorus a lot into the way of self-criticsm, in my own case, even self-hate.. yes, as long as I keep myself in the chamber, I can't help myself but feel bad all the time..
I keep myself blind. And I hide from stuff.
This Song really touched my feelings immediately after listening to it.
You wrote it wasnt finished, but tbf, I don't think many of your fans will notice. I also only did by reading the description..
Long story short: Even though I probably interpretate the song a bit different, it is still absolutely amazing, and the stuff you wrote in the description is highly understand- and relatable.. Thank you for quite a deep insight into your mental state through this Song!
I can't wait for more Originals. You really do a great Job! Keep being awesome, dear Jon.
Greetings from the middle of germany. (:
Thank you for telling the world what is real and what is fake. Great lyrics.
All rise for the internet's *real* theme song.
All of your time spent honing your craft on covers has really paid off. Both of your originals are amazing.
Original? Wah #NOTexpected well done! ;)
Amazing music that points a light at our society and ourselves.
I have to admit it does feel like the song is missing something. I have no clue what, but at the same time I still like it a lot.
It is most likely going to end up on my background music list for when Im reading/writing.
Hope to hear more of your own stuff in the future.
Something in the backtrack constantly stays nearly at the same hights the whole song.... so it sound kinda monotone but i think that is wanted.... it sounds like played far away. Like in a dream or in a Echo Chamber.
@@julianfuchs9253 that could be it. Tnx
@@jonathanymusic that makes sense, thank you for explaining and for the awesome music you make
Jonathan, I have to say, this song is amazing. The entire melody is so simple, and yet you manage to do so much between it and the lyrics. Thank you for another gem of a song, and please, keep at it.
AMAZING JOB LAD, still waiting for Bloody Stream though. Btw, I don't feel like you're being unproductive, if it means anything
YAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSS! GIVE US MORE!! I love when you write your own songs. They are amazing!
