no adventure time and su rival each other but Rebecca sugar plays a huge role both shows' soundtracks so you should say rebecca sugar creates the best soundtracks.
this feels like this one time when I was young. I was 13 and my parents never let me go out with friends. but then my half sister who was 19 came into my life and I felt like I had so many opportunities I could just take. my sister went to this one hotel where people used the pool and it was closed but her and her friends snook in and chilled there. I asked my parents if I could go but they obviously said no. but for some reason, for the first time ever, that didn't stop me. I called an uber and told my parents I was going out with my brother. so I took him, and went to the uber. I was holding his hand because this was the first time I was in a car with a complete stranger. we got there and I saw my sister light up when she saw me. there was food and snacks and towels for us. we swam for hours. the night crawled and it felt cold, but the pool heated up and it was perfect. my head felt light and fuzzy, but the type of lightness after laughing too hard at a joke or during a car ride back home from riding roller coasters all day at an amusement park. soft music, happy laughter, and rustling water. I was the only one in the pool. I went to the deep side, where the only pool light shined through. I took a deep breath and went underwater. I was good at holding my breath so I was able to stay underwater for at least forty seconds. and in those forty seconds, floating in the dim light under the night sky, I felt free. my body felt light and I looked up, I wasn't scared, I wasn't scared of getting yelled at. I got to feel whatever I felt during that day without a worry. I felt problem less, I felt relieved, satisfied, happy. Like after a presenting a huge project without managing to stutter or say something wrong, like telling someone important news and things go down smoothly, like being able to live without worrying. I felt that feeling, but only for those forty seconds. if I had the choice to leave everything behind, my life, my friends, my parents, my own sister, to just feel what I felt in those forty seconds underwater again, I would. without a doubt, I would.
I remember listening to this song a lot after it came out, I had a big emotional attachment to it because it worded what I’ve been feeling for the past few years, I just want to be free, I want to be my own person, I want to live my own life to the fullest without anyone trying to hold me back but, I’m still just a kid, so I’m still here but I will leave from here, eventually to live the way I want to.
@BestDoctor they never mentioned anything about their parents though. and you don't really know their home life, so dk why you're mentioning the spoiled part.
@BestDoctor Don’t tell someone how to feel. you know absolutely nothing about them or their parents and that’s gross to sit there and invalidate them. Idk why you brought of half of the things in your comment that you did…
@BestDoctor this was unrelated and they don't need to have abusive parents to have a rough childhood. There is bullying and abusive behaviour from others, and also neglect
I turn 14 today. Listening to this songs just minutes after turning 14, really makes me grateful for what I have and how lucky I am to be born into an amazing family.
Y'know what I like about this so much? It's quiet. It's peaceful. It feels like a soft, warm smile in a moment where you let yourself be, well, yourself. It's like warm water at the beach, washing up against your skin as you stare up at the blue sky and the fluffy white clouds, with no sound other than the lapping of waves, seagulls and the wind in your ears. It's like walking along the road in your neighborhood. You know the way like the back of your hand, and the sight of sunlight and the sounds of rustling leaves and birdsong are just so comforting. It's those small moments of freedom, where you actually feel alive for once and don't have to pretend. You can actually feel happy. :)
the fact that so many people could come together and feel with this song, whether its being strong and leaving an abusive household, or getting through sucidal thoughts, everyone can come together over a slowed version of escapism. thats what i love about music. a song can be great, but if you slow it down it could take a whole new meaning and be even greater.
This song reminds me of when I was at the beach late at night with my two friends and we were all alone and we began to finally open up to eachother about our deepest worried and regrets and grudges that we didn’t want to admit. We all began to cry and we all just held eachother letting it all out. We even screamed some of our secrets to the sea cuz no one was around to hear our cries. It’s was so freeing to finally let out all my emotions and thoughts that had been eating at me for months. I told them about the boy I had loved. I told them about how I fear that my brother will grow to resent me, and I told them about how I don’t know who I really am and I’m in this lost space in my mind that has no direction to go and that I am truly terrified of the future. i wish I could relive that night all over again. We went to the beach again today. I hadn’t seen then in months. Jennie and Sereina. You’ll never see this. But I love you both so so much. Thank you for everything
the feeling after realizing i’m free from my mental illness, it really did get better, there was a brighter side and i’m so proud i was strong enough to live through it
Lols im glad your better sorry for ranting but since you said you've gotten free from your mental illness i just wanted to say I've been through alot so far with my toxic mom and just everything she's done to me it was emotional draining for me and th fsct i loved her so much i stressed myself out to make a's in school and then to come home to barley eating anything having to take care of my two sister's making sure they got up and were ready for school cause my mom was always at work and then when she was home she slept all day..barely let us go out and alot of stuff..she's even called me dirty because i wouldn't let her on my phone she said i was a dirty little girl which hurt me because it's not my fault that i could only find love in showing off my body and stuff but enough of that im in highschool now and i finally went to my highschool counselors and told them about me being suicidal and depressed they set me up and now im getting therapy in December the 2nd i think and im also staying with my nans since my mom often drops me and my sisters off at my nanas since she can't care for us (my nana is my moms mom) so yea my nana is ok with it she's even taking me there cause she loves me i guess...but uh yeah kinda scared but i have a very loving boyfriend and im very happy with this relationship cause it's not very problematic and stressful and so depressing and just...its freeing and im ready to get help so i can be a better person...i guess cause i wanna be free from feeling what i feel everyday and just be happy...well anyways thanks for reading this far if you have and your comments encourages me to try even harder to help myself so thanks @ juice bok (ps.I'll probably update this next year or so when im getting better if i remember heh 😅)
i learned this song on the piano during quarantine. i didnt realize how happy i was when school was still open. i got to be away from my really emotionally abusive parents for most of the year, because i was in the school musical and a bunch of clubs. i got to spend time laughing and talking with people i really loved, but once quarantine hit, i broke. i didnt have a phone at the time, so i couldnt talk to my friends at all, and i had to spend my time locked away. while there were lots of things i loved about quarantine (like getting back into su and other stuff), it all felt so fake and forced and toxic. i lied to myself by thinking that i was healthy to force myself to do horribly difficult things, but really it was just a way to ignore all the bottled up emotions i had. when i finally got back into su, i hadnt heard this song yet since i stopped watching when the show was in its third season. when i finally heard this song, i broke. it was the first time i had been snapped back into reality just from the sincerity in stevonnies voice. but yeah anyways🤪✌️ LMFAO I FORGOT ABT THIS CRINGE SISJNSICDHSJ IM FINE NOW LOL I GOT SO MUCH BETTER BAHSHSJD
This song reminds me of my great grandmother, sitting on her swing, watching the humming birds eat the necter out of the flowers on a pretty fall evening, leaves still falling, the sun giving that orange tint off for all the world to see, and her just telling me."Life is meant to be lived with purpose." God Bless Her Soul❤️
everytime i listen to this song the build up to the first line always hits me. “i guess i have to face, that in this awful place, i shouldn’t show a trace, of doubt” this part really resonates with me cuz that’s how i feel living in my household. i’ve never really felt safe or comfort in my own house and it always bothered me to think about it because i really wanted my house to be my home. i wanted it to be the place where i can run from my inner demons and problems and feel safe but i have never felt that way. i’ve always feared being here. i close myself in my room trying to escape any interaction with my parents because i can’t handle any more of their criticisms and insults. i will never be good enough for them and it hurts me because i wanted to make them so proud but instead i grew tired and broken. i’m beginning to resent this place and i’m so so tired. but even so, i can’t show any weakness, i can’t say that i’m struggling, i can’t be vulnerable because as my mom said, “people who are weak will never succeed”. i feel so encaged. i feel stuck, i feel suffocated. i long for freedom, i long to be freed from their bounds of criticisms. i just want to feel content in my own skin. i’m so tired of living everyday despising myself. i’m so exhausted.
sorry for the drama but I really feel very identified with this song ... At school I shouldn't teach a single doubt because everyone is looking for me and then my parents ... They say they will take me to a psychologist but I must not have a single hope, they are lying as always ... I would like a family that understands me, that loves me ... I hate how miserable my life is, only living based on screams and cries ... insults and parents telling me that I will not achieve anything and yelling at me I want to get out of here... "I would like to be free ..." ☹︎
Hey.. it’s going to get better and you’re going to be free, happy, and all around.. in a waaaay better life than where you are, you’re incredibly strong for just being here. I’m grateful for reading about someone as strong will powered and awesome as you, thank you. Please stay safe dude
this song really makes you feel like you want to escape from your home, school and people you knew, because you are tired of their expectations, but there is always something that's holding you back and ask yourself: "how am I going to escape, how am I going to survive out there when I'm barely surviving here?"
Reading the comments makes me think of all the nameless faceless humans, souls, lives and perspective out there that I do not know of, nor do they know anything about who I am. I can't really describe how I feel rn It's pretty amazing. I'm not even an English native speaker and yet it's so amazing when people can understand what I type. Communication. And yeah no matter how many times I'd tell myself I'd remember sth, like this comment, or a certain person I had a meaningful conversation with online and save it in my memory it will always sadly slip my mind at some point. But... I exist. Or existed once depending when you read this. And I thought of this, and I typed this and saw it being typed before posting from the room I'm in rn which you'd never really be able to imagine. And I created and added a tiny little print of my own in this world. At one point in time which you won't be able to retrieve. And this'd be recorded for a (hopefully) long time here. Who knows even if not directly, some of my words would stick in your brain unconsciously and influence a choice you made. Or probably a relation to it would appear in your dream tonight which will slowly escape your memories once you wake up. -Another nameless unknown person on yt.
This was 2 months ago so I hope you still exist but I’m also a random soul and I don’t think I exactly need to be nameless and faceless! Hi I’m lee, what is your favorite color?
This reminds me of my old friend gabby, I still hate myself so much for stop being her friend. I had the best sleepovers at her house and I just remember us being up at 3 am sneaking outside and running around her backyard, I would do anything to go back to that feeling of being scared yet feeling so free. The darkness surrounding me and feeling a bit scared but she was always right beside me, the air blowing in my face and the moon shining. My feet were frozen in the grass and I was truely terrified. Being scared of every little noise in the woods or grass. But she was always there laughing so hard, we laughed till we peed ourselves, literally. We even ran around her neighborhood in the pitch black, a dog would bark at us and we would run so fast down the road. We would freak ourselves out so much by pointing out random stuff on trees that “look like a body” when it was nothing. Then always running a lap around her house then running back to her deck and panting for air and she was always in front of me wanting to go take a lap around again. She would laugh at my jokes, she would do stupid stuff like I would do, she did everything stupid you could possibly do with me. Then we would run inside and “sleep” for like 5 minutes and she would always get off her bed and harass me for 2 minutes to go outside when I’m literally half asleep. And I would always agree to it, and I’m so glad that I always agreed because I just knew to myself back then that I would always remember it and it would be a good memorie, and of course I was right. I always remember her mom being up all night in the garage smoking, we would run around and get terrified by something stupid and run in the garage and tell her mom about it, of course her mom would say it’s fine but yet encourage us to do something more stupid. Then we would go do the stupid thing and we always would come back smiling, laughing and running. I wish I could just go back to those warm/cold summer nights with gabby.
Tomorrow I will be 18. I decided to re-listen to my favorite music that I have listened to for the last 17 years. Including from your favorite games, films, cartoons and TV series. I decided to say goodbye to childhood in this way. It’s as if this 17-year-long stage is ending. And I don’t know why exactly under this song, but I decided to leave this comment. It will just be the last music I listen to before I turn 18. I just like it.
@@teechonmars4409 what happened? (If you dont mind sharing..) perhaps I have some tips that helped my dad when he got in a motorcycle accident. He was physically and mentally ill. So if you are comfortable with it, would you explain to me? (Its totally fine if you dont want to) :3 have a great day!
@@naomigwolfe8112 I was bullied, a lot to where the point that I couldn’t stand it. I would never get listened to in my own family and I just feel like I’m a failure to everyone. Lol
This song has so much emotional weight omg. I’m reading the comments and tearing up. Y’all have been through a lot and I’m so proud that you’re still here. I was reminded of some of the pain that I locked away for years. Thanks for helping me exercise some self compassion today
this song reminds me of a time a long while ago, the first time i got to live pretty much on my own for a week while my parents were at a hospital. It reminds me how it felt to be free. Free from the hate, the yelling, the manipulation. That thought is one of the only reasons im here today.
this song makes me think of my childhood. things were so much easier. I never worried about failure, or losing everyone i cared about. i just blissfully played the days away. i really was free from everything, and i wish i could go back to that.
It may sound silly that a short song like this could make me feel this way but this song helps me slow down, breathe and take a minute to appreciate life. helps me cope with everything that has happened. It gives me a sense of hope and joy.
English is not my first language so it is easy to understand that my parents send me to English classes after school to improve my skills. But it started to out of control. Too many classes. Too many lessons. Too many teachers. Too many tests. Everything is just...too much for me. My schedule is full of English lessons. At first, each lesson from different teachers takes 45 minutes. Then an hour. Two hours. Then three. Four hours. I'm tired. I used to love English. Yes, i used to. My parents ruined everything. They scold at me for refusing to have more lessons. They said that I'm just lazy. No, I tried not to mess up my life. I stop studying at 11pm everyday and they just don't seem to care. Sometimes i wonder if this is my home or just somewhere else that make me feel like a machine.
as someone who has been diagnosed with mulitple mental disorders that have affected majority of my life, this song hits home. when it comes to certain ones, the harsh reality is that---they will never go away. parts of you're brain are wired to cause difficulties, and all you can do is cope and attempt re-train your brain in a way that functions better for you....but it will never go away. i'm not saying that it's not possible to live a happy life with having mental disorders, but those who get it, get it. it's not fair.
I used to listen to this during my junior year when I was struggling. It always helped lol. I’ve been doing way better since then I forgot this video existed. But it’s nice to come back and relive everything.
This reminds me of my senior year in high school. I was tired of learning and trying to be "cool". I quit things I didn't like and joined things just for fun. I stopped trying and just.....waited.....waited until I got to graduate and move out of my suffocatingly small town. I'm much happier now :)
This hits different when you listen to it after crying your eyes out and now you can't really feel like crying so now this song is like a person showing up with the emotional support AFTER your breakdown. ...couldn't be me tho
After years of depression, i think I’m finally getting better. I’ve been more happier, organized, taking good care of myself and others, and loving everything I do.
I feel like I’ve given something up. I don’t know when, dunno where or why, but I don’t feel free nor relaxed ever. I don’t feel stressed, I don’t have anxiety or depression or anything. I don’t feel much of anything. Then I hear a song, feel a texture, or see something odd and so on and I feel just, so lost. I’m missing something and I don’t know what, I’m feeling something from far away but where is it coming from? Why is it calling to me? Will I ever see it? Will I ever..
The call isn’t just out there, it’s within you, and it may never leave. Hopefully someday you’ll find whatever spark it’s drawing you to. Someday you’ll realise you’re exactly where you’re meant to be. Until then, you can only enjoy the journey.
@@DOLLH4US I’m afraid I don’t know, I’d say I’m happy but the more I think about it the more confusing it gets, it’s like getting lost in a place that has nothing that resembles the world you know besides walls, the ground, and the sky
Everyone has emptiness within, that emptiness drives us. By emptiness I mean, something is missing, as if our very soul has a gap in it. Our life here is spent finding something to fill the emptiness. Everyone chooses something different, be it a hobby, passion, addiction, career, etc. I myself sought after God, and it makes me feel a little more…complete.
two years ago i met someone online, someone i never knew i'd have, someone i thought would leave immediately, someone who i know i'll have by my side forever. i never knew it was possible to have such a close bond with someone who lived miles and miles away. when she came into my life it was like the sun greeting me with open arms. we've laughed, argued, cried and had hardships together, i tell her almost everyday that i'm so grateful we met that day, i'm so unbelievably grateful to have her in my life, that i feel so much more free when i'm with her. one day i'll be able to sit under real stars with her and watch the night sky, then i'll tell her face to face, thank you.
Its been a while since I've gone down in a comment section and seen nothing but positivity, or just on the internet in general, its a nice thing to see.
It is approximately 483 days until I attain freedom hopefully by going to study abroad for Uni. Sorry guys, just a reminder for myself whenever I feel like I’m spiraling.
The bottom contains a deep meaning that only adults can understand. When we. As we grow up, we understand what we have missed and cry, but to us. You need to move on to be HAPPINESS
It’s so weird coming back and listening to this. For the past year, I was in a really horrible toxic relationship, and I couldn’t leave because every time I was close to bringing it up he’d cry to me about some sob story and about how he wanted to off himself, I felt obligated and trapped and just couldn’t leave. Every night I got off the phone with him I would cry to this song, and play it on repeat if we had gotten into a fight. For months after we broke up I couldn’t listen to this song because every time I did I would just break down. I still don’t know if I made the right choice sometimes. But listening to it once more and not crying makes me believe I’ve made progress since then ❤️ I’m proud of myself even if nobody else in my life notices
Turning 14 in 2 weeks and this song just makes me think of the stuff I went through, parents who are so manipulative/toxic and no one to help, it’s a lot, glad I made it through
When I listen to this masterpiece I can imagine myself lying in a field of flowers watching the sky and the clouds just flying away, with no one over there but me, only me and the sound of the wind running over the grass
This reminds me of when I sit on that huge hill with a rocky fall, down by the beach at the place I call home more than the house I live in. I don’t have to deal with my friends, I don’t have to deal with being used, bullied or manipulated. I just sit there, taking off my platforms, letting my braids come undone by the wind as my dress flows in the wind. The waves crash against the rocks and the sun sets, me knowing it’s coming to end. I don’t need to have friends or family to be happy there, I just sit then get up and run barefoot up and down the field then crash into a pile on the floor in the middle of the field and laugh, I’m finally genuinely happy and I never want to leave, but yet I can’t be there for long before I have to go home at some point, I know the happiness and pure smiles will slowly turn to an emotionless fed up frown yet I don’t care. I’m not aware of time, I’m not aware of anybody else beside me. I don’t care if anybody comes near me because I’m happy and I’m confident enough to stay and smile.
This song, for me, sounds like how I feel when I look at the clouds, the million different colors that shine on top of them, the silent and graceful breeze that accompanies them.
All these comments are 3 whole years ago, people talking about their problems, some solved, some not. I really wonder how every single person who was hurting while listening to this song 3 years ago are right now. I hope and pray that they all found joy in their lives, and those who havent will soon.
Escapism never really touched me when I first heard it, but now that I’m in my room alone and quite neutrally sad and listening to this version with that BG touched me all the way to my heart
This feels like a song I put into my Spotify playlist and listen to in my headphones for hours and hours until I finally doze off, all with a neutral expression with mixed emotions stirring inside of me, wanting to leave myself and let go of the fabric of reality.
I am a 15 year old, brazilian teenager with ADHD. I find it kinda hard to be in school, and at home. I have lots of friends, but... i feel uneasy. I feel like i'm aprisionated in my household. It is a house, but it isn't my home. I know that it is nothing but a teenager thing, but... this is just like i feel. Aprisionated, and i'd rather be free. But... this is my escapism... from everything.
relaxa mn, tu oque tá ruim nessa idade piora dps, sempre tem uma puta tempestade pra dps vir algumas coisas boas, aproveite o pouco que tem e corre atrás do muito que não tem ainda
This song gives me a sense of hope for the future, when I can move away from all the distrusting eyes, and yet at the same time, makes me think I will never be able to escape...
do you guys ever felt like there's chains on around your ankles and your drowning in a deep ocean? you're paralyzed, and screaming for help but the water kills the sounds you make the hair when you wake up, all messy, feels like how it would be like underwater you look into a mirror and think to yourself "what have I done?" as you look at the scars and wounds you made just last night wounds you made to feel that little bit of warmth in the darkness and cold room, a little bit of warmth wrapped around you for comfort
Reading through all these comments and... wow the world can kinda suck. So many stories of abusive parents and ruined childhoods. For everyone here still going through that (me included), don't be afraid. Everything will get better. Do whatever makes you happy and doesn't hurt anyone. There should be no shame in that. If someone tries to shame you for either being yourself, or for doing something you enjoy, ignore them. They're insecure about themself. Don't let them drag you down to their level. Enjoy life while you can at every opportunity you get. Go outside and see the plants growing in the cracks of sidewalks. Go talk to your friends whenever you can comfortably do so. Go and see all the beauty in the world. Pain really puts you into tunnel vision about how bad the world is, but the world is beautiful. There's beauty in everything. Dont let anyone stop you from seeing that. Not yourself or anyone else. You deserve to be happy.
my birthday is november 30th, when i was a child i imagined a huge 15th birthday party (it's kind of a tradition in my country) with many friends and an amazing life. But here I am today at 1 am crying looking for comfort in my favorite SU songs, thinking how everything I've built in years of my life has been falling apart in just two and how I'm too tired to try to start over. "I'd rather be free" (sorry for the comment just needed to vent somewhere)
I found this song as soon as the whole covid thing began. I was turning 16, I was still dealing with my depression and anxiety, and on top of that starting my junior year in high school. I remember how much I hated being stuck at home with my sisters and mom. It was so suffocating, my mom forced me and my sisters to constantly be around her when we were at school(all the while she had work). Eventually we'd all get irritated, go to our separate rooms silently and wait for the next day. I couldn't have my own opinions or speak up on what I believed what was right about the virus, the protests, or anything really;it was awful. I remember listen to the song while I tried to sleep and I'd just end up sobbing with this on an endless loop. I felt alone and caged in, and I just wanted to be free from it all.
Listening to this while looking at a full moon it calms me and makes me feel like I can run away just now Dreaming about making my dreams come true and just being free away from here.. maybe my dream college is the place i felt the most free in.. It's july 13 as I'm writing this Hopefully all people that feel the need to escape can make it
This song just makes tears pour out of my eyes, im currently not in the best of places rn =( Edit: this song has been stuck in my head all day, it almost feels like i cant live without it
This feels like when I was 6-8 years old and I loved hanging out with my friends, I always went out being free and stuff, I loved playing dodgeball with my group of friends, I was.. *free...* but now, I don't go outside that much anymore, I used to live with my grandma when I loved going out but now, it just hits different for some reason. I can't describe this feeling, it feels, new to me..
This feels like after you have a panic attack. Just the feeling that the worst has settled and you can breathe again, but also the sadness that still lingers inside of you.
I learned this song on guitar. It was fairly simple. After a while of getting better and honing my skills with this song, I realized how meaningful it is. How passionate, yet slow, how gentle and yet how powerful it is. Truly, it was a beautiful song to learn. I don't regret anything about it.
i just like to escape this harsh reality sometimes my upbringing was bad. witnessing physical abuse was not easy. watching my parents argue so much that it became a situation where i had to hide in my room for hours and bury my head into a pile of clothes and cry will stick to me for life. i wondered if i could ever love because i always feared my love ending up like theirs. i still have to watch this almost daily but i’ve learned to cope. escapism is calming. it brings a sense of homage. it’s so cordial in my own reality.
To those listening Welcome You're brave and strong and you're supper intelligent we support you for anything you do in your life Good morning, afternoon, or night ♡
that episode of Steven universe hit is close to home, not to mention that's when I realized that Steven became everyones therapist at such a young age :(
Remembered listening to this after we had an evil substitute teacher…it wasn’t fun and everyone missed our original teacher who eventually came back. We got the sub kicked out and replaced. I was the only one who stood up to her funny enough and everyone looked at me differently, positively.
This reminds me of a fun little story. My mom let me go to a friend's house because 15 people of my class would go. The first thing that we did was change into our bath suits, some warm weather clothes and we headed to the nearby river. We settled down on a little shore with sand and trees, ate, and then we did a bunch of fun stuff: we played volley, swimmed, attacked each other with water and just chilled out in a big rock until 7 pm, when the parents of the host picked us up and took us home. We set up a couple of tents in the backyard so we could all sleep fairly comfortable and then ate a big barbeque. From there on we just did random stuff, play uno, chat, a couple of us even watched a horror movie and we all went to sleep around 3-5 am. I felt so relieved, take in mind that during the pandemic my mom, a doctor, was stressed out all the time, and would lash out at me and call me names, insult me or straight up ignore me when I did something wrong. She's not a bad person, she has gone through a lot, though that doesn't justify how she treats me, especially since I came out to her. She wouldn't let me go to my friend's houses, and i became so isolated i only talked in person with her and with my grandma, and had constant mental breakdowns, crying myself to sleep because of all of this. Now, back to school, i feel really happy and that day at the river was the best day of my life. The next day, when we were waiting our parents to pick us up, i decided to finally tell my crush i liked her, after 3 months of leaving sweets or chocolates in her desk with a letter, hinting who i was. Of course, she already suspected me and from my behavior around her that day she knew it was definitely me. Although she didn't like me back, she didn't want our friendship to fall out and i didn't want to either. It took a while for things to stop being awkward between us, I'm in good terms with her now. I don't regret telling her, having a crush on her and having the courage to confess to her was the best, and even if it made me sad she didn't correspond, I'm glad to have experienced my first crush, it makes me feel like i can be a normal teenager, even if I'm a "good for nothing dyke" I'm just happy I'm very emotionally and mentally stable at 16, after being through stuff i don't feel comfortable sharing here. I know life will go on and this is just a small fraction of mine For everyone who feels helpless, who feels like they don't deserve to be loved, that the only solution is to leave this world behind or are just tired of always feeling weak and lonely all the time; things get better. If you consider that you're at the lowest of your life, you can trust me on this one: the only way that's left now is up, even if it takes time. Sorry if it was difficult reading this, English it's my second language, any corrections and spelling errors i have you can point them out, it really appreciated. Thank you for reading this
well, since everyone seems to be sharing, I moved across the world when I was eight. young enough for it to not be a complete traumatic experience, but nothing can change the bond you have with the place you were born at. it's been over a decade since I moved, I have my friends here, my family, almost all of my memories. my entire adolescence. yet, hearing this song always reminds me, eventually I have to go back. something within me has always been pulling me back home, back to my roots. as if only when I'm back where it all began, only then I'll be free. hope I get to read this after I move. bet it'd be a crazy experience.
I feel my grandfather’s pain when he was at death camp… He was freed after 2 weeks of being placed in it. It was under Leningrad. Besiegement made it and from big town Gatchina which had 30.000 Population only 457 left.
This makes me think of Steven and Connie when they're in their 50s and reminiscing on their crazy lives together. Their voices are a deeper when slowed down like this, therefore a bit older-sounding. Then they fuse into Stevonnie for old time's sake...and they remember this tune. 🥺✨💖😭
out of all the shows that we watch i gotta say su has by far the best soundtrack
Adventure time imo
what about kipo tho
Correction Rebecca sugar has the best soundtrack after all she was a big part of adventure times soundtrack too
fr
no adventure time and su rival each other but Rebecca sugar plays a huge role both shows' soundtracks so you should say rebecca sugar creates the best soundtracks.
why does it just feel so much sadder when it’s slowed down
You already know the answer...
The key change also does a lot
I don't know, for me, it just feels...like something indescribable, but it's not sad.
Because you are forced to linger on the notes much longer

This made me feel an emotion that didn't exist
It hits different at 4-6 am too
It does exist, every emotion you feel is specific to you, and all of them are real
@@facelessdrone oh. Cool :)
This hits way more different when it is raining with the Christmas lights on in your room while playing it on speaker
bro im literally listening to this at 6 am rn i just did a all nighter
yeah
this feels like this one time when I was young. I was 13 and my parents never let me go out with friends. but then my half sister who was 19 came into my life and I felt like I had so many opportunities I could just take. my sister went to this one hotel where people used the pool and it was closed but her and her friends snook in and chilled there. I asked my parents if I could go but they obviously said no. but for some reason, for the first time ever, that didn't stop me. I called an uber and told my parents I was going out with my brother. so I took him, and went to the uber. I was holding his hand because this was the first time I was in a car with a complete stranger. we got there and I saw my sister light up when she saw me. there was food and snacks and towels for us. we swam for hours.
the night crawled and it felt cold, but the pool heated up and it was perfect. my head felt light and fuzzy, but the type of lightness after laughing too hard at a joke or during a car ride back home from riding roller coasters all day at an amusement park. soft music, happy laughter, and rustling water. I was the only one in the pool. I went to the deep side, where the only pool light shined through. I took a deep breath and went underwater. I was good at holding my breath so I was able to stay underwater for at least forty seconds. and in those forty seconds, floating in the dim light under the night sky, I felt free.
my body felt light and I looked up, I wasn't scared, I wasn't scared of getting yelled at. I got to feel whatever I felt during that day without a worry. I felt problem less, I felt relieved, satisfied, happy. Like after a presenting a huge project without managing to stutter or say something wrong, like telling someone important news and things go down smoothly, like being able to live without worrying. I felt that feeling, but only for those forty seconds.
if I had the choice to leave everything behind, my life, my friends, my parents, my own sister, to just feel what I felt in those forty seconds underwater again, I would.
without a doubt, I would.
This makes me all fuzzy and warm inside, thank you.
@@literallyaflower of course. we all just need to breathe and relax for a while.
This made me sob a little bit because I’ve had a very similar experience and I’d give anything to experience it again.
This....this right here, is beautiful.
I felt like this when I walked outside in the snow at 2am and just sat there for 10 minutes to be by myself.
To feel just a tiny bit free

I'm so proud of you
I'm very proud of you. That must've been a horrible situation for you. You leaving proves that you are strong.
I remember listening to this song a lot after it came out, I had a big emotional attachment to it because it worded what I’ve been feeling for the past few years, I just want to be free, I want to be my own person, I want to live my own life to the fullest without anyone trying to hold me back but, I’m still just a kid, so I’m still here but I will leave from here, eventually to live the way I want to.
This is a big mood
@potato Bruh you just said everything that I've been thinking in this one comment.
@BestDoctor they never mentioned anything about their parents though. and you don't really know their home life, so dk why you're mentioning the spoiled part.
@BestDoctor Don’t tell someone how to feel. you know absolutely nothing about them or their parents and that’s gross to sit there and invalidate them. Idk why you brought of half of the things in your comment that you did…
@BestDoctor this was unrelated and they don't need to have abusive parents to have a rough childhood. There is bullying and abusive behaviour from others, and also neglect

Y'know what I like about this so much? It's quiet. It's peaceful. It feels like a soft, warm smile in a moment where you let yourself be, well, yourself.
It's like warm water at the beach, washing up against your skin as you stare up at the blue sky and the fluffy white clouds, with no sound other than the lapping of waves, seagulls and the wind in your ears.
It's like walking along the road in your neighborhood. You know the way like the back of your hand, and the sight of sunlight and the sounds of rustling leaves and birdsong are just so comforting.
It's those small moments of freedom, where you actually feel alive for once and don't have to pretend. You can actually feel happy. :)

I literally love how everyone has their own perspectives of a song. It's so beautiful
the fact that so many people could come together and feel with this song, whether its being strong and leaving an abusive household, or getting through sucidal thoughts, everyone can come together over a slowed version of escapism. thats what i love about music. a song can be great, but if you slow it down it could take a whole new meaning and be even greater.
This song reminds me of when I was at the beach late at night with my two friends and we were all alone and we began to finally open up to eachother about our deepest worried and regrets and grudges that we didn’t want to admit. We all began to cry and we all just held eachother letting it all out. We even screamed some of our secrets to the sea cuz no one was around to hear our cries. It’s was so freeing to finally let out all my emotions and thoughts that had been eating at me for months. I told them about the boy I had loved. I told them about how I fear that my brother will grow to resent me, and I told them about how I don’t know who I really am and I’m in this lost space in my mind that has no direction to go and that I am truly terrified of the future. i wish I could relive that night all over again. We went to the beach again today. I hadn’t seen then in months. Jennie and Sereina. You’ll never see this. But I love you both so so much. Thank you for everything
They seem like such amazing people, and im so proud of you for being able to open up. Keep going
I saw it and I would have love to experience that

the feeling after realizing i’m free from my mental illness, it really did get better, there was a brighter side and i’m so proud i was strong enough to live through it
I’m proud of you
Lols im glad your better sorry for ranting but since you said you've gotten free from your mental illness i just wanted to say I've been through alot so far with my toxic mom and just everything she's done to me it was emotional draining for me and th fsct i loved her so much i stressed myself out to make a's in school and then to come home to barley eating anything having to take care of my two sister's making sure they got up and were ready for school cause my mom was always at work and then when she was home she slept all day..barely let us go out and alot of stuff..she's even called me dirty because i wouldn't let her on my phone she said i was a dirty little girl which hurt me because it's not my fault that i could only find love in showing off my body and stuff but enough of that im in highschool now and i finally went to my highschool counselors and told them about me being suicidal and depressed they set me up and now im getting therapy in December the 2nd i think and im also staying with my nans since my mom often drops me and my sisters off at my nanas since she can't care for us (my nana is my moms mom) so yea my nana is ok with it she's even taking me there cause she loves me i guess...but uh yeah kinda scared but i have a very loving boyfriend and im very happy with this relationship cause it's not very problematic and stressful and so depressing and just...its freeing and im ready to get help so i can be a better person...i guess cause i wanna be free from feeling what i feel everyday and just be happy...well anyways thanks for reading this far if you have and your comments encourages me to try even harder to help myself so thanks @ juice bok (ps.I'll probably update this next year or so when im getting better if i remember heh 😅)
i learned this song on the piano during quarantine. i didnt realize how happy i was when school was still open. i got to be away from my really emotionally abusive parents for most of the year, because i was in the school musical and a bunch of clubs. i got to spend time laughing and talking with people i really loved, but once quarantine hit, i broke. i didnt have a phone at the time, so i couldnt talk to my friends at all, and i had to spend my time locked away.
while there were lots of things i loved about quarantine (like getting back into su and other stuff), it all felt so fake and forced and toxic. i lied to myself by thinking that i was healthy to force myself to do horribly difficult things, but really it was just a way to ignore all the bottled up emotions i had.
when i finally got back into su, i hadnt heard this song yet since i stopped watching when the show was in its third season. when i finally heard this song, i broke. it was the first time i had been snapped back into reality just from the sincerity in stevonnies voice.
but yeah anyways🤪✌️

This song reminds me of my great grandmother, sitting on her swing, watching the humming birds eat the necter out of the flowers on a pretty fall evening, leaves still falling, the sun giving that orange tint off for all the world to see, and her just telling me."Life is meant to be lived with purpose." God Bless Her Soul❤️
tysm for making this i love it 😻
thanks ❤️
everytime i listen to this song the build up to the first line always hits me. “i guess i have to face, that in this awful place, i shouldn’t show a trace, of doubt” this part really resonates with me cuz that’s how i feel living in my household. i’ve never really felt safe or comfort in my own house and it always bothered me to think about it because i really wanted my house to be my home. i wanted it to be the place where i can run from my inner demons and problems and feel safe but i have never felt that way. i’ve always feared being here. i close myself in my room trying to escape any interaction with my parents because i can’t handle any more of their criticisms and insults. i will never be good enough for them and it hurts me because i wanted to make them so proud but instead i grew tired and broken. i’m beginning to resent this place and i’m so so tired. but even so, i can’t show any weakness, i can’t say that i’m struggling, i can’t be vulnerable because as my mom said, “people who are weak will never succeed”. i feel so encaged. i feel stuck, i feel suffocated. i long for freedom, i long to be freed from their bounds of criticisms. i just want to feel content in my own skin. i’m so tired of living everyday despising myself. i’m so exhausted.
god the echo makes it much more sadder
sorry for the drama but I really feel very identified with this song ...
At school I shouldn't teach a single doubt because everyone is looking for me and then my parents ...
They say they will take me to a psychologist but I must not have a single hope, they are lying as always ...
I would like a family that understands me, that loves me ...
I hate how miserable my life is, only living based on screams and cries ... insults and parents telling me that I will not achieve anything and yelling at me
I want to get out of here...
"I would like to be free ..."

@@oliverzwatermelongum Can we raise em together? ❤️😃
this song really makes you feel like you want to escape from your home, school and people you knew, because you are tired of their expectations, but there is always something that's holding you back and ask yourself: "how am I going to escape, how am I going to survive out there when I'm barely surviving here?"
This. Absolutely this. I'm just so tired of it all, but I'm not yet prepared to do anything about it. It's... unfortunate.
Some slow escapism sounds like a man but this is perfection
Reading the comments makes me think of all the nameless faceless humans, souls, lives and perspective out there that I do not know of, nor do they know anything about who I am.
I can't really describe how I feel rn
It's pretty amazing.
I'm not even an English native speaker and yet it's so amazing when people can understand what I type. Communication.
And yeah no matter how many times I'd tell myself I'd remember sth, like this comment, or a certain person I had a meaningful conversation with online and save it in my memory it will always sadly slip my mind at some point. But...
I exist. Or existed once depending when you read this. And I thought of this, and I typed this and saw it being typed before posting from the room I'm in rn which you'd never really be able to imagine. And I created and added a tiny little print of my own in this world. At one point in time which you won't be able to retrieve.
And this'd be recorded for a (hopefully) long time here.
Who knows even if not directly, some of my words would stick in your brain unconsciously and influence a choice you made. Or probably a relation to it would appear in your dream tonight which will slowly escape your memories once you wake up.
-Another nameless unknown person on yt.
thank you for your heartwarming words!
This was 2 months ago so I hope you still exist but I’m also a random soul and I don’t think I exactly need to be nameless and faceless! Hi I’m lee, what is your favorite color?
dreams, the one escape of humanity, the one hope to achieve the impossible
feels like sitting by the water and watching the sun disappear over the horizon knowing that it'll all be ok because someday you'll be free
I'd like to sit there with you if that's alright, haha... I think about that sort of thing, too.
This reminds me of my old friend gabby, I still hate myself so much for stop being her friend. I had the best sleepovers at her house and I just remember us being up at 3 am sneaking outside and running around her backyard, I would do anything to go back to that feeling of being scared yet feeling so free. The darkness surrounding me and feeling a bit scared but she was always right beside me, the air blowing in my face and the moon shining. My feet were frozen in the grass and I was truely terrified. Being scared of every little noise in the woods or grass. But she was always there laughing so hard, we laughed till we peed ourselves, literally. We even ran around her neighborhood in the pitch black, a dog would bark at us and we would run so fast down the road. We would freak ourselves out so much by pointing out random stuff on trees that “look like a body” when it was nothing. Then always running a lap around her house then running back to her deck and panting for air and she was always in front of me wanting to go take a lap around again. She would laugh at my jokes, she would do stupid stuff like I would do, she did everything stupid you could possibly do with me. Then we would run inside and “sleep” for like 5 minutes and she would always get off her bed and harass me for 2 minutes to go outside when I’m literally half asleep. And I would always agree to it, and I’m so glad that I always agreed because I just knew to myself back then that I would always remember it and it would be a good memorie, and of course I was right. I always remember her mom being up all night in the garage smoking, we would run around and get terrified by something stupid and run in the garage and tell her mom about it, of course her mom would say it’s fine but yet encourage us to do something more stupid. Then we would go do the stupid thing and we always would come back smiling, laughing and running. I wish I could just go back to those warm/cold summer nights with gabby.

Tomorrow I will be 18. I decided to re-listen to my favorite music that I have listened to for the last 17 years. Including from your favorite games, films, cartoons and TV series.

It will just be the last music I listen to before I turn 18. I just like it.

@@pearl_universe5579 from here...
this song reminds me of a time a long while ago, the first time i got to live pretty much on my own for a week while my parents were at a hospital. It reminds me how it felt to be free. Free from the hate, the yelling, the manipulation. That thought is one of the only reasons im here today.
this song makes me think of my childhood. things were so much easier. I never worried about failure, or losing everyone i cared about. i just blissfully played the days away. i really was free from everything, and i wish i could go back to that.
It may sound silly that a short song like this could make me feel this way
but
this song helps me slow down, breathe and take a minute to appreciate life. helps me cope with everything that has happened. It gives me a sense of hope and joy.
could you do the ruby + sapphire song?The one that's the one where Garnet explains ruby and sapphires story on how how they met?
Something entirely new?
English is not my first language so it is easy to understand that my parents send me to English classes after school to improve my skills. But it started to out of control. Too many classes. Too many lessons. Too many teachers. Too many tests. Everything is just...too much for me. My schedule is full of English lessons. At first, each lesson from different teachers takes 45 minutes. Then an hour. Two hours. Then three. Four hours. I'm tired. I used to love English.
Yes, i used to.
My parents ruined everything. They scold at me for refusing to have more lessons. They said that I'm just lazy. No, I tried not to mess up my life. I stop studying at 11pm everyday and they just don't seem to care.
Sometimes i wonder if this is my home or just somewhere else that make me feel like a machine.
the lyrics slowed just hit different it’s just beautiful
I love how it makes me cry

This is like one of my favorite songs!
as someone who has been diagnosed with mulitple mental disorders that have affected majority of my life, this song hits home. when it comes to certain ones, the harsh reality is that---they will never go away. parts of you're brain are wired to cause difficulties, and all you can do is cope and attempt re-train your brain in a way that functions better for you....but it will never go away.
i'm not saying that it's not possible to live a happy life with having mental disorders, but those who get it, get it.
it's not fair.
I used to listen to this during my junior year when I was struggling. It always helped lol. I’ve been doing way better since then I forgot this video existed. But it’s nice to come back and relive everything.
This reminds me of my senior year in high school. I was tired of learning and trying to be "cool". I quit things I didn't like and joined things just for fun. I stopped trying and just.....waited.....waited until I got to graduate and move out of my suffocatingly small town.
I'm much happier now :)
Happy for u x cant wait to do the same
I'm happy for you! I want to move out of my tiny town too.
This hits different when you listen to it after crying your eyes out and now you can't really feel like crying so now this song is like a person showing up with the emotional support AFTER your breakdown.
...couldn't be me tho
After years of depression, i think I’m finally getting better. I’ve been more happier, organized, taking good care of myself and others, and loving everything I do.
I feel like I’ve given something up. I don’t know when, dunno where or why, but I don’t feel free nor relaxed ever. I don’t feel stressed, I don’t have anxiety or depression or anything. I don’t feel much of anything. Then I hear a song, feel a texture, or see something odd and so on and I feel just, so lost. I’m missing something and I don’t know what, I’m feeling something from far away but where is it coming from? Why is it calling to me? Will I ever see it? Will I ever..
The call isn’t just out there, it’s within you, and it may never leave. Hopefully someday you’ll find whatever spark it’s drawing you to. Someday you’ll realise you’re exactly where you’re meant to be. Until then, you can only enjoy the journey.

@@graphicnovel4904 welcome to the human condition, enjoy your stay
Everyone has emptiness within, that emptiness drives us. By emptiness I mean, something is missing, as if our very soul has a gap in it. Our life here is spent finding something to fill the emptiness. Everyone chooses something different, be it a hobby, passion, addiction, career, etc.
I myself sought after God, and it makes me feel a little more…complete.
two years ago i met someone online, someone i never knew i'd have, someone i thought would leave immediately, someone who i know i'll have by my side forever.
i never knew it was possible to have such a close bond with someone who lived miles and miles away. when she came into my life it was like the sun greeting me with open arms. we've laughed, argued, cried and had hardships together, i tell her almost everyday that i'm so grateful we met that day, i'm so unbelievably grateful to have her in my life, that i feel so much more free when i'm with her. one day i'll be able to sit under real stars with her and watch the night sky, then i'll tell her face to face, thank you.

The world seems so relaxed and calm listening to escapism. It feels like time has stopped, and it's a time just for yourself.
Listening to this song at night, it feels like the world has halted, the only thing at that moment is yourself. Truly an amazing experience.
essa música me faz lembrar de pequenos momentos da minha vida em que eu realmente me senti vivo, livre e genuinamente feliz.
é mt boa
It’s so weird coming back and listening to this. For the past year, I was in a really horrible toxic relationship, and I couldn’t leave because every time I was close to bringing it up he’d cry to me about some sob story and about how he wanted to off himself, I felt obligated and trapped and just couldn’t leave. Every night I got off the phone with him I would cry to this song, and play it on repeat if we had gotten into a fight. For months after we broke up I couldn’t listen to this song because every time I did I would just break down. I still don’t know if I made the right choice sometimes. But listening to it once more and not crying makes me believe I’ve made progress since then ❤️ I’m proud of myself even if nobody else in my life notices
I admire your strength
Turning 14 in 2 weeks and this song just makes me think of the stuff I went through, parents who are so manipulative/toxic and no one to help, it’s a lot, glad I made it through
I’m also glad you made it through
When I listen to this masterpiece I can imagine myself lying in a field of flowers watching the sky and the clouds just flying away, with no one over there but me, only me and the sound of the wind running over the grass
omg I'm gonna listen 2 this on repeat now
*hearing the song after a miserable day fills you with HOPE*
You are filled with DETERMINATION
The beginning is giving me very much animal crossing vibes
early morning animal crossing- where the world stands still for a little while
This has helped me over so many emotional challenges
This reminds me of when I sit on that huge hill with a rocky fall, down by the beach at the place I call home more than the house I live in. I don’t have to deal with my friends, I don’t have to deal with being used, bullied or manipulated. I just sit there, taking off my platforms, letting my braids come undone by the wind as my dress flows in the wind. The waves crash against the rocks and the sun sets, me knowing it’s coming to end. I don’t need to have friends or family to be happy there, I just sit then get up and run barefoot up and down the field then crash into a pile on the floor in the middle of the field and laugh, I’m finally genuinely happy and I never want to leave, but yet I can’t be there for long before I have to go home at some point, I know the happiness and pure smiles will slowly turn to an emotionless fed up frown yet I don’t care. I’m not aware of time, I’m not aware of anybody else beside me. I don’t care if anybody comes near me because I’m happy and I’m confident enough to stay and smile.
I want to cry so hard listening to this. I would absolutely love to be free.
this song has really got me through the last year and stuck with me and my perception of it has evolved with me
This song, for me, sounds like how I feel when I look at the clouds, the million different colors that shine on top of them, the silent and graceful breeze that accompanies them.
All these comments are 3 whole years ago, people talking about their problems, some solved, some not. I really wonder how every single person who was hurting while listening to this song 3 years ago are right now. I hope and pray that they all found joy in their lives, and those who havent will soon.

Escapism never really touched me when I first heard it, but now that I’m in my room alone and quite neutrally sad and listening to this version with that BG touched me all the way to my heart
This feels like a song I put into my Spotify playlist and listen to in my headphones for hours and hours until I finally doze off, all with a neutral expression with mixed emotions stirring inside of me, wanting to leave myself and let go of the fabric of reality.
I am a 15 year old, brazilian teenager with ADHD. I find it kinda hard to be in school, and at home. I have lots of friends, but... i feel uneasy. I feel like i'm aprisionated in my household. It is a house, but it isn't my home. I know that it is nothing but a teenager thing, but... this is just like i feel. Aprisionated, and i'd rather be free. But... this is my escapism... from everything.
relaxa mn, tu oque tá ruim nessa idade piora dps, sempre tem uma puta tempestade pra dps vir algumas coisas boas, aproveite o pouco que tem e corre atrás do muito que não tem ainda
This song gives me a sense of hope for the future, when I can move away from all the distrusting eyes, and yet at the same time, makes me think I will never be able to escape...
The longing and endurance of the human spirit is truly amazing.
do you guys ever felt like there's chains on around your ankles and your drowning in a deep ocean?
you're paralyzed, and screaming for help but the water kills the sounds you make
the hair when you wake up, all messy, feels like how it would be like underwater
you look into a mirror and think to yourself "what have I done?" as you look at the scars and wounds you made just last night
wounds you made to feel that little bit of warmth in the darkness and cold room, a little bit of warmth wrapped around you for comfort
alot
This show gave such a good impact to my life, I'm really glad we all get to be able to watch and listen to Steven Universe :]
Reading through all these comments and... wow the world can kinda suck. So many stories of abusive parents and ruined childhoods. For everyone here still going through that (me included), don't be afraid. Everything will get better. Do whatever makes you happy and doesn't hurt anyone. There should be no shame in that. If someone tries to shame you for either being yourself, or for doing something you enjoy, ignore them. They're insecure about themself. Don't let them drag you down to their level.
Enjoy life while you can at every opportunity you get. Go outside and see the plants growing in the cracks of sidewalks. Go talk to your friends whenever you can comfortably do so. Go and see all the beauty in the world. Pain really puts you into tunnel vision about how bad the world is, but the world is beautiful. There's beauty in everything. Dont let anyone stop you from seeing that. Not yourself or anyone else. You deserve to be happy.
my birthday is november 30th, when i was a child i imagined a huge 15th birthday party (it's kind of a tradition in my country) with many friends and an amazing life. But here I am today at 1 am crying looking for comfort in my favorite SU songs, thinking how everything I've built in years of my life has been falling apart in just two and how I'm too tired to try to start over. "I'd rather be free" (sorry for the comment just needed to vent somewhere)
Thank you...
I found this song as soon as the whole covid thing began. I was turning 16, I was still dealing with my depression and anxiety, and on top of that starting my junior year in high school. I remember how much I hated being stuck at home with my sisters and mom. It was so suffocating, my mom forced me and my sisters to constantly be around her when we were at school(all the while she had work). Eventually we'd all get irritated, go to our separate rooms silently and wait for the next day. I couldn't have my own opinions or speak up on what I believed what was right about the virus, the protests, or anything really;it was awful. I remember listen to the song while I tried to sleep and I'd just end up sobbing with this on an endless loop. I felt alone and caged in, and I just wanted to be free from it all.
Listening to this while looking at a full moon it calms me and makes me feel like I can run away just now
Dreaming about making my dreams come true and just being free away from here.. maybe my dream college is the place i felt the most free in..
It's july 13 as I'm writing this
Hopefully all people that feel the need to escape can make it
This is so pretty
This song just makes tears pour out of my eyes, im currently not in the best of places rn =(
Edit: this song has been stuck in my head all day, it almost feels like i cant live without it
This feels like when I was 6-8 years old and I loved hanging out with my friends, I always went out being free and stuff, I loved playing dodgeball with my group of friends, I was.. *free...* but now, I don't go outside that much anymore, I used to live with my grandma when I loved going out but now, it just hits different for some reason. I can't describe this feeling, it feels, new to me..
omg i love thissss
i like to revisit this video every once in a while. reminds me of her. makes the song even sadder i suppose
This feels like after you have a panic attack. Just the feeling that the worst has settled and you can breathe again, but also the sadness that still lingers inside of you.
I learned this song on guitar. It was fairly simple. After a while of getting better and honing my skills with this song, I realized how meaningful it is. How passionate, yet slow, how gentle and yet how powerful it is. Truly, it was a beautiful song to learn. I don't regret anything about it.
i just like to escape this harsh reality sometimes
my upbringing was bad. witnessing physical abuse was not easy. watching my parents argue so much that it became a situation where i had to hide in my room for hours and bury my head into a pile of clothes and cry will stick to me for life.
i wondered if i could ever love because i always feared my love ending up like theirs.
i still have to watch this almost daily but i’ve learned to cope. escapism is calming. it brings a sense of homage. it’s so cordial in my own reality.
To those listening
Welcome
You're brave and strong and you're supper intelligent we support you for anything you do in your life
Good morning, afternoon, or night ♡
that episode of Steven universe hit is close to home, not to mention that's when I realized that Steven became everyones therapist at such a young age :(
This makes me feel like I’m flying but I’m looking down while the suns shimmering!✨🌊🌸
SU songs are very nice to listen to when you’re in dark place, it picks you up with the best melodies like ✨
Dude the steven universe fandom is absolutly amazing. Thats just because steven universe is so good
Pro tip: if you give love and only receive hate, leave whatever is holding you back and discover who you truly are.
This sounds so beautiful.
Remembered listening to this after we had an evil substitute teacher…it wasn’t fun and everyone missed our original teacher who eventually came back. We got the sub kicked out and replaced. I was the only one who stood up to her funny enough and everyone looked at me differently, positively.
This reminds me of a fun little story. My mom let me go to a friend's house because 15 people of my class would go. The first thing that we did was change into our bath suits, some warm weather clothes and we headed to the nearby river. We settled down on a little shore with sand and trees, ate, and then we did a bunch of fun stuff: we played volley, swimmed, attacked each other with water and just chilled out in a big rock until 7 pm, when the parents of the host picked us up and took us home. We set up a couple of tents in the backyard so we could all sleep fairly comfortable and then ate a big barbeque. From there on we just did random stuff, play uno, chat, a couple of us even watched a horror movie and we all went to sleep around 3-5 am.
I felt so relieved, take in mind that during the pandemic my mom, a doctor, was stressed out all the time, and would lash out at me and call me names, insult me or straight up ignore me when I did something wrong. She's not a bad person, she has gone through a lot, though that doesn't justify how she treats me, especially since I came out to her. She wouldn't let me go to my friend's houses, and i became so isolated i only talked in person with her and with my grandma, and had constant mental breakdowns, crying myself to sleep because of all of this.
Now, back to school, i feel really happy and that day at the river was the best day of my life. The next day, when we were waiting our parents to pick us up, i decided to finally tell my crush i liked her, after 3 months of leaving sweets or chocolates in her desk with a letter, hinting who i was. Of course, she already suspected me and from my behavior around her that day she knew it was definitely me. Although she didn't like me back, she didn't want our friendship to fall out and i didn't want to either. It took a while for things to stop being awkward between us, I'm in good terms with her now. I don't regret telling her, having a crush on her and having the courage to confess to her was the best, and even if it made me sad she didn't correspond, I'm glad to have experienced my first crush, it makes me feel like i can be a normal teenager, even if I'm a "good for nothing dyke"
I'm just happy I'm very emotionally and mentally stable at 16, after being through stuff i don't feel comfortable sharing here. I know life will go on and this is just a small fraction of mine
For everyone who feels helpless, who feels like they don't deserve to be loved, that the only solution is to leave this world behind or are just tired of always feeling weak and lonely all the time; things get better. If you consider that you're at the lowest of your life, you can trust me on this one: the only way that's left now is up, even if it takes time.
Sorry if it was difficult reading this, English it's my second language, any corrections and spelling errors i have you can point them out, it really appreciated. Thank you for reading this
@@Puiteii8427 it's okay buddy
I want to visit this beautiful place. Away from all reality. I hope when I die,this is my heaven
well, since everyone seems to be sharing,
I moved across the world when I was eight. young enough for it to not be a complete traumatic experience, but nothing can change the bond you have with the place you were born at. it's been over a decade since I moved, I have my friends here, my family, almost all of my memories. my entire adolescence. yet, hearing this song always reminds me, eventually I have to go back. something within me has always been pulling me back home, back to my roots. as if only when I'm back where it all began, only then I'll be free.
hope I get to read this after I move. bet it'd be a crazy experience.
I feel my grandfather’s pain when he was at death camp… He was freed after 2 weeks of being placed in it. It was under Leningrad. Besiegement made it and from big town Gatchina which had 30.000 Population only 457 left.
I don't know why i just look for songs that make me cry. Maybe if i cry i can forget reality for a second...
This makes me think of Steven and Connie when they're in their 50s and reminiscing on their crazy lives together. Their voices are a deeper when slowed down like this, therefore a bit older-sounding. Then they fuse into Stevonnie for old time's sake...and they remember this tune. 🥺✨💖😭
I cried to this thank you
